Chapter 4
The day after...
"What?" Jackson exclaimed, sat opposite to the Dean in his big office. "Tell me it's a joke!"
"I'm sorry, but I was asked by Mrs. Horton to do that and…" The Dean was cut off by a rather angry Jackson.
"Yeah I know, and as she and her family are the main donator to this University, you don't have a choice. I'm sorry Mr. Calvington but this is messed up."
"I'm sorry but as you said, I don't have a choice and you don't either. So you have to do what she said."
"It's unfair! You know that right?"
"Since when do we live in a fair world Mr. Kiriakis?"
Jackson didn't have the chance to answer the Dean that a young and gorgeous woman made her entrance into the room. She was dressed with a fashion designer dress and was perched on black high heels and was smoking a cigarette. Mr. Calvington stood up from his chair, walked out from behind his desk and reached to shake the woman's hand. Jackson also was standing up and shook her hand after the Dean, smiling to her. But she didn't reciprocate the smile and turned towards the Dean before asking:
"So how did you do with our little project Mr. Calvington?"
"Actually, he's here Mrs. Horton; I want to introduce you to Mr. Jackson Kririakis. Mr. Kiriakis, this is William's mother, Mrs. Horton."
Hearing that, Jackson's smile faded away and he looked at her with a serious glance.
"Really? Mr. Clavington are you sure it's him? He seems pretty young to be a good teacher, no offense Mr. Kiriakis!"
"You could at least talk to me and you seem pretty young to be a good business woman and a mother, but I don't say anything because I'm polite." Jackson thought. "None taken."
She glared at him before sitting down on the chair Mr. Clavington was offering her. She put one leg on the other still smoking her cigarette with an arrogant look on her face. Samantha Horton was a very successful business woman who came from a very powerful family and she didn't take refusals very well.
"So Mr. Kiriakis, I think Mr. Clavington told you about what I asked him. Are you ready to do that?" She was sending him daggers with her look daring him to even try to say no to her.
"Do I have a choice?" He looked at her, tried to put a smile on his face and answered her "Of course Mrs Horton!"
"Perfect! So we will be waiting for you this afternoon around 5pm. Mr. Clavington will give you our address. See you in the afternoon Mr."
"But, Mrs. Horton I can't…"
Before Jackson could finish his answer, Sami was standing up and walking towards the door. She opened it and went out without even say goodbye to the men. Jackson turned towards the Dean who was livid and trying to wipe his forehead.
"Is she always like this?" Jackson asked, trying to humor the visibly stressed Dean.
"No. Here she was nice."
"Really? Oh My god, what did I put myself into?"
"You'll see sooner rather than later."
Around 4.30PM, walking around in the Horton Town Square, Jackson was thinking about his family. Well not his family anymore since they kicked him out of the mansion. "That's crazy how much them kicking me out changed me. I remember being such an asshole in high school. If I could, I would stop the time and rewind to change everything I've done. I wonder how it is to this Will Horton." He pulled out his phone and dialed Abby's number.
"Hello?"
"Abby, it's me!"
"Sonny! My favorite cousin in the whole world! How are you? How are you since yesterday?"
"I'm fine Abby. I just wanted to call you because I won't able to see you and Chad at 5PM!"
"What? Why? Sonny, you can't do that. You promised you would be here. I want to introduce you to Chad."
"I know! I'm sorry Abbs, it's just I've been forced to go the Horton's mansion at 5PM!"
"Why would you be forced to go to this people house? I thought you hated everything about people like them?"
"Oh believe me, I still hate people like this who think they could do anything and have everything without asking."
"Then why do you go see them later?"
"I have been forced to go by Mrs. Horton and Mr. Clavington, who by the way can't say no to the Horton. I have to give private lessons to William Horton. I so don't want to do that…"
"Really? You are going to give private lessons? Isn't it unfair to the other students?"
"Yes it is! But I don't have another choice."
"And you're going to give these lessons to Will Horton of all people. I thought he didn't care about classes. This guy has a reputation around here. I prefer to tell you, he sleeps with everyone possible. He's a real player so be careful."
"Believe me I know. I just arrived yesterday and he was already all over me, trying to seduce me. He even waited for me at my car and told me I was closeted. This guy is unbelievable!"
"Just Sonny, be careful! Don't fall for his tricks. Relationships with a student even for a night are forbidden. Remember what could have happened with Sam!"
"I know Abbs. I have to go. I don't want to be late for dear Mrs. Horton and his precious son. Bye Abbs; I love you"
"Love you too Sonny. See you later"
Jackson hung up when he was in front of the mansion. "What did I really put myself into?
Will checked himself out in the mirror for the umpteenth time. He brushed his hair and straightened his clothes. A big smile appeared on his face when he thought about his first victory. He finally got Mr. Kiriakis to come to him. Today was his first private lesson with the Kiriakis boy and he was very excited. He thought about all the things he would do to him and his imagination was running wild. His thoughts were interrupted by the door bell ringing. He looked at the clock. "Perfectly on time Kiriakis!" He ran downstairs where the butler was getting Jackson rid of his coat.
Will was standing there on the stairs, a smug smirk on his face, wearing a very tight blue T- shirt with a very tight dark jean. 0-1 for Horton. Jackson tried to hide his impression when he saw the sparkle in Will's eyes, he cleared his throat.
"I am on time" he said in a serious tone, looking Will in the eyes as Will was still standing on the stairs.
"Good to see you Mr. Kiriakis" Will said with a wide smirk.
"I am afraid the feeling is not mutual." Jackson said annoyed, "1-1" he thought to himself.
Will wasn't impressed, he wasn't giving up yet; "Would you like something to drink, we have some…" But he was cut short by Jackson.
"I am good, shall we just start?" Jackson said waiting for Will to lead the way towards the work room. "2-1 for me." Jackson thought.
Will was embarrassed, that guy was so stubborn! They were about to walk to the work room when Sami interrupted them. "So Mr. Jackson, I see you are right on time. Punctuality is a good point. I'll leave you two. Will, where are you going to work?"
"I'm leading to my room."
"Wait what? His room? No no no!" Jackson thought, surprised that Will's mom wasn't going to refuse that.
"Okay, work well. I'm going on a trip to Dubai then Paris for one month, I have clients to meet and your father will be back from Hong Kong in 24 days. So Mr. Kiriakis, I count on you. I'll pay you now for at least Will having 3 lessons during our absence."
She got the money out of her purse and gave it to Jackson. He took it shocked by the amount of it.
"But Mrs. Horton, it's too much! I can't accept it all"
"I want only the best so I pay the best. I'm going. Bye Will! Have fun!" And she was out the door, without kissing Will goodbye.
"Wow, what a way to say goodbye to her son!" Jackson thought, but he was interrupted by Will's smiling voice. "So are you coming?"
Jackson followed Will upstairs reluctantly. "Can't wait for this to end…"
Will, Brian and Kareem made their way to the party in a gay bar out of town. Unusually Will was so silent all the way, and he was smoking and gazing out of the window in the backseat of the car.
"So, aren't you going to tell us about the first lesson with Mr. Sexeriakis" Brian said teasingly.
"No, I'm not going to tell anything because so far, nothing happened" Will said still gazing outside the window, smocking his cigarette nonchalantly. "He just explained me what our stupid bones are made of!"
"Come on man, can't you just leave the guy alone, he doesn't play with our team!" Kareem said with a sigh.
"I know he does, time will prove me right, you'll see" Will said with his same confident tone.
The boys got to the bar at 9 P.M, Will went immediately to the toilet, cursing the two guys who were busying his favorite table in the corner of the crowded bar. Brian and Kareem found a seat at the bar and waited for him before ordering their drinks. When Will came out of the bathroom, he could look at the guys sitting at the table and he suddenly stopped in his tracks, shocked by the scene in front of him. Jackson was sitting there, so drawn into a conversation with a handsome blonde guy, laughing loudly.
Will ran to his friends at the bar, feeling excited that he was right about Jackson's sexuality and beat his friends "I knew it Kiriakis" he whispered to himself when he sat beside Brian on the bar's chair, his back to the counter and his eyes locked on Jackson and his friend.
"What is it Will?" Brian said looking at Will.
"You won't believe who I saw here."
"Who?" Brian said curiously.
"Our dear teacher, Mr. Kiriakis" Will said not taking his eyes of Jackson, who was still drawn into his conversation with the blonde guy.
"You're kidding!" Brian and Kareem said in unison turning their heads to look in the direction of Will's eyes.
Will took the shot of brandy that was on the counter in front of him, winked at his friends and walked towards Jackson's table.
"Oh Mr. the Professor you could have told me you were coming here so we could have a good time" he said with a smug smirk.
Jackson looked up swiftly; he was surprised to see Will here.
"I wouldn't have come here if I knew you were here" Jackson said with a stern look on his face
"Relax Professor; I am not going to ask you about a lesson now, although it would be so sweet especially if we take it to the bathroom."
Will was still trying to play it cool, but deep inside he felt a weird feeling. That guy beside Jackson felt just wrong. Jackson's face turned red, he looked at the guy beside him with an apology and turned angry eyes towards Will.
"Do I need to warn you again to watch your language?" Jackson said with a serious tone.
"Come on prof, we are not in class or in the private lesson, cheer up, it's a place of fun, and obviously you know how to have some." Will said arrogantly looking over to the blonde guy next to Jackson.
"What's going on Sonny" said the blonde guy looking at Jackson with confusion.
"Oh, Sonny?! What a cool name, you are obviously hiding all the fun from us" Will said with a wink.
"Well, I keep those things for the people who I care about, for true men, not for a spoiled brat who can't even manage his own studies. Now if you would please let me enjoy my date…" Sonny said, avoiding Will's eyes and taking a gulp from his beer.
Will, resigned, decided that he wouldn't do anything tonight. He bent to Sonny's ear and whispered seductively. "Too bad, you don't know what you're missing Sonny…" insisting on "Sonny". And he left in the direction of his friends before saying to them "I'm out of here guys, see you tomorrow!"
Sonny was still concentrated in his beer when the man beside him began talking.
"Wow what was that Sonny?"
"Sorry James, it's just one of my students"
"Well your student is very pushing."
"Yeah I know. I'm going to take care of that." Sonny said, not ready to accept that Will attracted him a lot and that his whispering in Sonny's ear sent shivers down his spine. "I'm really going to take care of it…"
To be continued…
