Alex's POV

Today in class everyone is supposed to present their projects.

Uh oh.

From my seat I spot Darius walking in right at that moment. My mind goes into panic mode.

"Darius!" I screech in a quiet tone.

His eyes connect with mine and he smiles adorably at me. My heart stops for a second making me forget everything for a moment.

Jeez, since when did I become so love sick?

I shake my head mentally as Darius takes his seat next to me.

"Darius." I speak.

"Yes, baby girl?" I gulp and breath out.

Calm down heart. He's barely said anything to you, I scold myself.

I clear my throat, "Uh, the, um, project..."

Okay what the hell is going on with me right now? I was so confident earlier and now I can't even speak correctly.

"You alright, babe?" Darius questions with concern.

Babe.

He just called me babe.

Babe.

Babe, babe, babe.

I like it.

Babe babe babe babe babe babe babe babe babe babe babe babe babe babe.

Yeah, I definitely like it.

"Say that again."

"What?" the concern leaves his face and is replaced with confusion then realisation and a smirk. He leans in close and his mouth goes to my ear.

"You like it when I call you that?" He whispers in my ear, teasing me.

"Dariusssss." I whine. His eyes darken.

"What do you want me to say, Alex? Tell me." His voice sounds deeper, raspier. My mouth suddenly feels dry and I gulp for the second time in the past five minutes.

"Y-you know--" Darius puts a large, warm hand on my thigh. A shudder passes through my body. "Don't..tease me." I manage to get out.

"Only if you beg." He growls out and bites my ear. Then he backs up a little bit from my face and looks at me knowingly while waiting.

Dear Lord.

On any other day I would shoot myself in the foot before I begged anyone for anything, especially for something like this, but today my hormones are all over the place so..

"Darius, please--"

I'm interrupted by the professor walking in and clapping his hands together to get everyone's attention. I completely forgot we were even in class. My face crumbles in disappointment. Darius notices and his smirk deepens.

"We'll continue this later, babe." He winks and gives a squeeze to my thigh before he removes it and focuses on the professor, still smirking.

I almost died right then and there. Someone, please, call the ambulance.

I forget about everything while the professor calls pairs up to present their projects. I forget about how I absolutely dread public speaking. How it makes me sick to the stomach and how it's one of my biggest fears. I forget about how when I had to speak in front of the school in fourth grade, I literally threw up in front of everyone. That's how I got my fear in the first place.
