FALLING IN LOVE WITH HIM - HER FIRST LOVE

Hera was so used to his given nickname for her that her actual name sounded weird coming from his mouth, so formal and so distant. She sighed in boredom and stared at her boyfriend as he removed his uniform jacket and placed it on the backrest of the chair. Hera wanted his attention, but he was busy playing the role of Mr Prodigy.

It irked her that he was giving her no special treatment. 

Hunter pulled the chair to his front before perching himself on the table. His left foot took its place on the chair while his right foot rested firmly on the floor, supporting his weight. Without wasting any more seconds, he grabbed the book and got lost in it. 

He flipped the page of the physics textbook in his hands. 

Childishly, Hera kept tapping her pencil on the desk until she managed to attract his attention. Hunter lifted his eyelids and looked at her without lifting his head. Hera smirked in satisfaction and tapped the pencil once again, applying a bit more pressure this time. He was still watching her but didn't say anything yet. 

Hera leaned back in his chair and glared at everyone when they glanced over their shoulder to look at her. Apparently, the stupid sound of the pencil knocking on the table disturbed everyone. Ignoring them, she shifted her eyes back to Hunter and watched his index finger moving back and forth, a silent warning not to test his patience. 

A paper ball hit her on the cheek before it fell into her lap. With confusion clouding her features, she opened it to read a message. 

"Can we talk after the class?" the message read. Hera looked around and found Jarred's eyes on her. She didn't notice him before and was surprised to see him in detention. Hera frowned, but before she could say something, Hunter started with his class. 

"I'll ask questions after explaining, and those who can't give me the correct answer will have to write a detailed assignment about the chapter," Hunter said in a warning. "Twice," he added with a straight face. The punishment, the homework or whatever it was, compelled Hera to invest all her focus in him while he taught about sound waves.

Hunter knew no one would dare to defy him. As expected, everyone's concentration revolved around him for the next forty-five minutes while he explained. 

The wave velocity V, frequency f and wavelength λ are related as: 

V=f λ 

The time period T and its frequency f of a wave are related as:

f=1/T 

Hunter wrote on the board and taught the same in detail. Like everyone else, Hera too obediently took notes. She learnt about the distinction between light and sound waves, the production of an echo and its uses. 

Once he finished explaining, Hunter spent the last ten minutes clarifying their doubts. He listened, nodding in acknowledgement before answering their queries.

Hera sighed in relief when the class ended, and thankfully, he didn't ask her any questions. So no more added homework and Hera was relieved. 

Hunter's right hand was still resting snug inside his pocket while his left hand was busy spinning the pen around his fingers. He patiently waited for the students to vacate the room. Hera stayed in her seat, and Jarred gave her a questioning look before exiting the room. He didn't seem happy, but Hera couldn't care less. 

As soon as everyone else left, Hunter shut the door, locking it from inside. He turned around, leaned against the door and watched while Hera left her seat before closing the short distance keeping them apart. With an eager smile stretching on his lips, his eyes shining bright with fondness never left hers. Hera jogged her way and walked right into his open arms. 

Hunter inhaled, breathing her scent in and wrapped his arms around her middle while Hera exhaled, relaxing in his embrace. Standing on her tippy toes, she tightened her hold around his shoulders. "I missed you," they both admitted simultaneously and laughed into one another's shoulder. Hera pressed her lips into the hot skin of his neck, leaving a soft kiss before pulling away. 

Closing her eyes to the feel of his lips, she giggled when he kissed her on the cheeks one after the other. "I missed you more," Hunter declared with another kiss on her forehead. "I missed you more than you missed me," Hera argued while kissing the corner of his mouth. Hunter's shoulder shook in breathy laughter. "Then kiss me properly, Goddess," he complained before capturing her lips with his. 

"We're leaving," they heard a voice yelling from the other side of the door. It was Eric's voice. He was signalling them to hurry with whatever they were busy doing inside. 

"And please have some decency. People come here to study," Michael yelled, scolding them. Hera could envision his face scowling in disgust. She pulled away from the kiss and took a few deep breaths before steadying her heartbeats. "We aren't doing anything dirty," Hera yelled back indignantly. 

"Yeah, right," Bianca and Evelyn said in unison, sounding incredulous. "I believe you, baby girl," Michael said, sarcasm dripping from his voice. Hunter grinned while Hera scowled at his friends. Hera realised if all of them were together, then it meant Danny was with them as well. She remembered she had asked him to meet her secretly. 

"Five minutes," Hunter said, changing their positions. He gently pushed Hera against the door and leaned down for another kiss. 

"Will your five minutes end in the next twenty minutes, at least?" Eric asked in an amused tone. Hera giggled against Hunter's lips while her boyfriend sighed in annoyance. "Find the fucking door and exit, will you?" Hunter shot back. Hera heard them laughing in response. She gasped when Hunter bit her lower lip, demanding her attention. 

Hera tried not to make any noise when his tongue slipped inside her lips and touched the roof of her mouth. The sensation was too much to resist, and she couldn't hold back the moan when he sucked her tongue. She was barely aware when he undid the first two buttons of her uniform shirt. Pushing aside the fabric to reveal more of her skin, Hunter left her mouth to nip at the softness under her jaw. 

His teeth lightly scraped against the column of her throat before settling at the fleshy part of her upper breast on the right side. His right hand moved down, brushing over her left breast. Hera sucked in a sharp breath at the warm sensations it caused all over her skin. Goosebumps appeared everywhere he touched, and Hera shivered, gripping his arms with her hands for support. 

Her mind faintly grasped the knowledge that he had pulled her uniform shirt out of her skirt. His hands slid inside, the direct touch of his large palms over her bare skin, fingers gently kneading the flesh at her waist, everything felt feverish. "Hunter, we're still at school," Hera said in a breathy whisper, reminding him but hardly protesting. 

Hunter was busy creating pinkish hickeys on her soft, milky-white skin. He hummed in response before coming back to her lips.
