Once a confident face immediately becomes into a shamed one. It's the woman I've swooned over but drove her off because of my foolishness. It's amazing how much alcohol can change a man. I double blink at her and gulp. I need to apologize. I compose myself before making my way into the classroom. There she was. Standing in my presence with just grace. Internally I was just smiling. Nonetheless, I knew I had to. I was an idiot and if it wasn't for Raven, who knows what I would've done. I refrained myself from getting all jittery inside. I would be straight and composed.

"Ahem. Good afternoon, Ms. Pyry was it?" I start.

She looked at me before sitting in her seat behind her wooden desk. She then pulled out her books and acted like I wasn't there. She must be very angry. Lucky for me, I'm very good at persuading. . ..

"Ms. Py-" I was cut off by her voice.

"I never told you my name. I didn't tell you because I thought you were a weirdo and a womanizer. I don't talk to alcoholics or womanizers. I don't want you to embarrass me so please leave." she replies.

I looked at her expression before she sunk back into her books and paperwork. I looked at the door and the clock. I've got plenty of time. I wouldn't give up so easily. I'm not a quitter. She didn't even give me a chance. Those brown eyes of hers shot me down so quickly. . . I double blinked, womanizer?

"You're feisty, aren't you?" I mumbled before she replied, "Yes I am and I don't like it when you flirt with my colleagues. If you came in here to do just that, then you are waisting your time."

I stood aback from what she had said. She was very feisty. She looked so poise. Appearances can be deceiving and I have just fallen into one of it's traps. How could I fall for a woman like that?

"I'm not here for that. " I said walking up to her desk.

I trembled before taking the book out of grasp and putting it aside, "Ms. Pyry, I assure you that I am not a -"

"Womanizer?" She questioned before replying, "By definition you are. Someone who has a major in biology and speaks English perfectly well and is deemed professor, would know."

How did she know that? It puzzled me. Which made me all the more curious to look inside her mind. . .Resistance is key.

"Aren't you perceptive?" I replied.

"I am very observant and I would like to work now. As a professor, you should and would know. I think you still have alcohol in your system professor." She said sassily.

"Look, just because you have another major in Psychology, doesn't mean you can try reverse psychology on me." She said looking through her notes and her whiteboard.

"And how would you know those things?" I said smirking knowing that I cornered her.

I continued, "How would you know what I major in? "

She looked at me wide eyed for a moment before trying to respond but couldn't until she spoke up, "I like to know who my colleagues are. That way I know what to expect from them. You aren't what I expected Professor. You're a genius, I'll give you that, but you just aren't at all what I expected. Ever since you did your presentation. . I thought you were one way, but you were another. Really, its quite interesting how your seduction routine worked both on Annabelle and on Rosie. Using mutation. Its sorta discriminative but in the end I guess it works for someone with blue eyes, such as yours. "

I was flabbergasted by her words. Its like she knew me. This woman. . she is something. ..I didn't have the right word for her but I knew I would have sooner than I thought. She was very perceptive. Who wouldn't be when they have those big brown eyes of her stare at you and trap you in her trance?

I countered, "And you aren't what I expected Ms. Pyry. For all I know, you could be a stalker."

For the first time, I saw her glare at me. She leaned back into her chair before replying, "Touche Professor. When you aren't drunk, you actually think through your words. What is it you want?"

I replied calmly, "A normal conversation."

She thought about it before saying, "Fine, but let's have one thing clear. I will not tolerate you flirting with me or getting drunk in my victinity. If you try something, you are going to get it."

I gulped, she definitely wasn't from here. . .Where was she from? The more we chatted, the more I was interested in her back story, who she was. . Who was she? So many questions, not a lot of answers. . .

"So you are a teacher? The students Aiden and Marcus revealed your name to me. Seems like you straightened their attitude. Most impressive." I say casually trying to change the conversation.

She looked up as we made eye contact before she broke away from my irises.

" I want to make a difference and teaching these kids for me us one way I contribute to making the world a better place. So yes, I am a teacher. One who isn't very fond of drunk associations that's for sure." She said as she drank her coffee.

I sigh," I am truly sorry for the way I behaved in the past Ms. Pyry. I usually don't drink but my little sister Raven suggested we "go wild". I would never try to embarrass a lovely intelligent woman like yourself."

She looked at me and crossed her arms, "Is that so?"

She looks at me in disbelief. I continue, "If you let me, I can give you a tour of the campus to make up for my error."

She thought about it before walking up to me. I only eyed her from head to toe before biting my lip slightly.

"I believe in second chances Professor but only to those who truly deserve it. . ." She said trailing off.

"I never meant to hurt you. You don't need to forgive me if you don't want to not talk to me ever again but I do want to say that I never meant to embarrass you or to make you feel uncomfortable. I was over my head and I didn't want to undermine you. It wasn't my intention. I hope that one day we can fix this relationship that I have broken and that I have made start off on the wrong foot. I'm not like this ever but I sure hope that you reconsider and give me a chance. I would very much appreciate it. Starting off with a clean slate doesn't happen that often but I would really like us to start again, to start a new." I looked at her hopefully.

The light caught her eyes, making them lighter. My words seemed to be working through her brain. I wonder what goes on up there, in that beautiful mind of hers. . . It was very tempting to not look through her mind. I wanted to have a peek but I resisted the urge to do just that. I couldn't see her just as the woman I liked anymore, I had to see her as my colleague and maybe as a friend.

"Well I guess I should accept your apology, Mr. Xavier was it? I can't read your mind, but I hope that like you said we can start again and that this time, we start off right." She smiled faintly.

As she was about to continue her sentence, a group of teachers came in wanting her assistance. They seemed to need her at this instance. She nodded and asked for 5 minutes which were granted to her.

" I'm afraid I... Well I just don't have time for a tour right now, Mr. Xavier. I have a lot of work to do." She trailed off biting her lip which never failed to make me smile.

"Oh... I understand Ms. Pyry. I'm sure this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship don't you think?" I extend my hand to her.

She raises an eyebrow at me and takes my hand shaking it. "I wouldn't call it a friendship just yet. Don't get ahead of yourself. More like an acquaintanceship. Don't push it Xavier. We are starting again so don't make me regret it."

"As you wish Ms..."

"Please. If I'm going to see you often you can just call me by name. Its very weird and awkward that you call Ms. Pyry. I told you I would tell you my name when you're sober. I don't break promises Professor. Just call me by my first name yeah? Call me Blaire." She said.

Blaire. That name is so mysterious and peculiar. Such a marvelous name for a marvelous girl! I mean. . .well. . .uh, no comment.

"Very well Blaire," I feel butterflies when I say that name, "My name is Charles Xavier. And I respect your decision."

"Thank...you. Um Charles?" She said a bit timidly.

"Yes Blaire?" I ask with glee.

She seemed uncomfortable before saying in a soft tone, "You can let go of my hand now."

I release my grip on her soft feminine hand and feel my face get hot. Am I blushing?

"Ahem... I should be leaving." I say a bit embarrassed at what had just happened.

Blaire nodded, "Yes you should. I'll see you around Xavier. Excuse me."
