Under Cover

So, he taughglisglish for two years now and the Univerity management decided he could use some help in his office. He set interviews for Thursday last week. But he canceled them all.

Last Thursday.

Professor Sumer passed the halways fast on his way to his office, he had a half an hour before the first interview and he needed a coffee break.

When he entered his office there was someone there. That someone was a tall young woman who seemed like she was organizing his books.

\"Excuse me?\" he was irritated.

\"AWWW! SHIT!\" She dropped a heavy Shakespeare on her foot and he moved forward quickly and helped her to sit down on a chair.

\"Are you alright?\" he asked.

\"Fine.\" She gritted her teeth and her eyes shined with tears.

\"I\'m sorry for starteling you, but, what are you doing in my office?\"

\"I came for the interview, you\'re Professor Sumer, right?\"

\"Yes I am, but the interviews only start with in a half an hour.\"

\"Oh, I\'m sorry.\" She sounded upset and Professor Sumer looked at her closely. She was beautiful. Blond hair, but not a natural blond, he could easily see the dark roots of her hair. Soft brown eyes, dark brown but warm eyes, welcoming. The eyes reminded him of James…he shook his head and gazed at her again.

She wore black, simple mini dress that showed her long creamy like legs and high heels black sandals.

He sighed, she was amazing.

\"I guess I can start early.\" He smiled as he saw her eyes light up. \"What is your name?\"

\"Oh, actually I just heard about the job offer today, that\'s why I came early. I thought maybe you could still interview me.\"

He sat across from her on his black chair and smiled.

\"Do you have your resume?\"

\"Yes.\" She handed him a piece of paper and he read it. \"You\'re in my classes?\" he asked, raising his eyebrow.

\"Yes, I study Political science with English literature as a minor subject.\"

\"Why not a major course?\" He sounded offended and she chuckled.

\"I like politics…I have a witty mind.\" She smiled as he grinned at her.

\"Your name is Zoey Gordon?\"

\"Yeah.\"

\"When I walked in you were messing with my books.\" She blushed and looked away from his eyes. \"Did you organize them?\"

\"Yeah, I guess so.\"

\"How did you arrange them?\"

\"Oh, I used an old method.\"

\"Which one?\"

\"I put the ones I like at the bottom shelves.\"

He looked at her for a moment, trying to decide if she was joking. She blushed even more and he laughed. A clear laugh. He couldn’t remember himself laughing like that for a long time.

\"Alright…\" he said after recovering. \"The job is three times a week is it good for you?\"

\"Yes, it\'s just the kind of a job I need.\"

\"Good, you can start next week.\"

\"What?\" she looked shocked.

\"Yes, you\'re hired, be here next week, eight o\'clock in the morning.\" He smiled softly.

\"Oh, thank you so much!\" she got up quickly and then winced at the pain in her left leg. \"I think I broke something…\" she mutterd.

\"I don’t think it\'s that serious.\" Professor Sumer got up from his chair and walked her to the door. \"I\'ll see you next week then.\" He shook her hand gently and tried to ignore the sudden heat that spread all over his body.

Today.

\"Good morning.\" A soft voice startled him and he looked up.

\"Morning, Miss Gordon.\" He smiled. \"Right on time.\" He winked.

\"Well, I was only trying to impress you, I\'m not a morning person.\"

\"Party all night?\" he teased.

\"No.\" she blushed. \"Well, maybe a little.\"

\"Well, lets get started.\"

They worked all morning, arranging his library. According to Zoey\'s method of course. She also helped him arranging his schedules for the next semester that was suppose to start in a few weeks.

When he got up to answer the phone she watched him. He was around his forties, probably forty something. He looked good for his age, brown soft hair that was preety long and almost reached his shoulders. He had light hazel eyes and generous lips.

She didn’t studied in his classes before but she knew that everyone loved his lectures. When he lectured the hall was always full and the students often sat on the floor.

He was very nice to her and she also had to admit that he has a great body for a forty year old male…no beer belly, she grinned.

\"What are you smiling about?\"

\"Nothing.\" She blushed.

\"Well, I think it\'s enough for today.\"

\"You don’t need me anymore?\" she got up from her chair.

\'Oh, I need you very, very much.\' He thought but then shook his head and smiled. \"No, I think it was a good first day and I don’t feel so well, besides the real work will begin at the new semester.\"

She nodded and grabbed her bag. They went outside and he locked his office.

\"One last thing.\" He said. \"When we\'re alone please call me Josh.\"

\"Josh?\"

\"Yes…it\'s my first name.\"

\"Oh, o.k…goodnight, Josh.\"

\"Good night.\"

Zoey sat on the couch in front of the fire. The lights were dim and the flames lightened her face with orange and red. Outside, the full moon shined with his white silver glow.

The fire\'s flames grew and turned to green. A head appeared between the flames. Zoey smiled and aproched the fire.

\"Well?\" the head asked.

\"I found him…I won\'t let him out of my sight.\"

\"Good.\" The head disappeared and Zoey sat back on the couch and continued to stare

at the flames.
