EMMA's POV
Two Months Later -
"What is the function of mitochondria?"
lan raised a post-it labeled mitochondria to my face and I quickly racked my brain.
"Mitochondria...
is known as the powerhouses of the cell and they produce the energy necessary for the cell's survival and functioning,"
I was correct, so he peeled the post-it and put it away.
"What are ribosomes?"
he showed me the next post-it.
"They are protein factories of the cell,"
"Golgi apparatus,"
he read aloud, peeling the next one.
"They are responsible for...
transporting, modifying, and packaging proteins and lipids!"
I exclaimed proudly because I knew I got it right.
"Damn, my girl’s got beauty and brains,"
he smirked and threw the entire post-it away.
"Stop, you're distracting me again,"
I was going to reach for the post-it he threw away, but he stopped me by putting his hand on my chin.
"Well, I have another question in regards to biology,"
he said as he licked his lips seductively and leaned towards me.
"Yeah?"
I couldn't help the smile that was forming.
He answered me with a kiss, a long tender kiss that was enough to get send shivers all over my body.
The next thing I knew, post-its and books went flying to the ground.
He captured my body in his as I straddled him on the couch.
I guess I could say we're going over the human reproductive system...again.
I couldn't believe how fast time flew.
All of a sudden it was already mid May and I had my finals in two weeks.
On top of all that, I still had projects and homework and presentations, and a social life to uphold—man, high school was made for us to fail.
In the past months, I was busy keeping up appearances at my afterschool activities and having secret rendezvous with my boyfriend, studying has taken a backseat.
This time, however, I had to prioritize my grades and get my life back on track.
"Thanks for helping me study for my finals,"
I said as I gathered the scattered post-it notes on the floor.
"Anytime,"
he smirked and pulled his shirt back on, "Hope I wasn’t distracting you too much,"
"Nope.
You used just the right amount of distraction.
You're the best boyfriend ever,"
"L try,"
he mimicked my words and I smiled cheekily.
"Think you can stay for dinner?"
"Yeah, I told my parents I’m studying all night at Tiff’s,"
I was getting so good at covering my tracks, the CIA should hire me. "Okay.
Chinese or Thai?"
he said as he raised our two favorite takeout brochures.
"Thai please.
