The following morning Negan drove Georgie back to her dorm to get ready for the day, kissing her passionately goodbye in the early morning darkness. The next few days were going to busy for the both of them, between the assignments Georgie had due, and Negan's faculty meetings as well as being shadowed by Mr Callaway, they would have to try make time where they could.

Friday came around quickly, and Georgie found herself looking forward to the weekend where she would finally be able to spend some time with Negan. With their week being so full on they hadn't managed to see each other apart from in class. With Mr Callaway hanging around it made it even harder to steal moments with Negan.

They had spoken on the phone every night, but Georgie found herself desperately craving his touch. She was going out of her mind seeing him but not being able to kiss him or even touch him at all and he was feeling much the same way.

As she finished up her last class of the day which happened to be Negan's she packed up her bag and got ready to leave. "It was nice to meet you Mr Callaway" she said politely. "Good luck with your future as a teacher".

"Thank you Georgie" he smiled. "I'll be sure to keep an eye out for your first novel".

"Cya Professor" she smiled at Negan.

"Have a good weekend Georgie" he smirked.

"Oh I will" she smiled as she made her way out the door.

She planned to meet up with Negan later on and she was really hanging out for it.

"Hey Georgie!" Jess called out as she caught up to her in the hallway.

"Oh hey Jess, what's up?"

"Not much. Off to a killer party tonight. Wanna come?"

"I have plans. Thanks though".

"With Mr Tall dark and handsome?" Jess asked.

"Who else?" Georgie chuckled.

"I want to meet him one day"

"Maybe" Georgie laughed. "I'm heading to the library to take back some books. I'll catch up with you later" she told her roommate as she headed off in the other direction.

Georgie ended up spending a little more time in the library than she planned to after chatting to the friendly librarian. As she headed out across the yard towards her dorm she heard someone call out to her.

"Geegee!" The familiar voice called. She turned to see her big brother jogging along the footpath towards her.

"Omg Ty! What are you doing here?" She said as she ran to give him a hug.

"I'm in town for an engagement party so I thought I'd swing by and see my little sister first. How are you doing?" He asked.

"Great... actually better than great. I'm fantastic" she grinned.

"What's his name?"

"Huh?" Georgie said, pleading ignorance.

"What's his name Geegee? C'mon, I've known you my whole life, you have the worst poker face" Tyler laughed.

"It's complicated" Georgie told him.

"Complicated how?"

"It's a long story" she chuckled.

"I got time" he grinned. "How about a coffee?"

"Yeah sure... you're buying".

"Absolutely" Tyler grinned. "Cars this way" he said as he slung his arm over her shoulder. "It's missed you sis" he smiled.

"Missed you too Ty" Georgie replied as she leaned her head against him.

Tyler drove them to a nearby coffee shop and ordered their drinks. As they were sitting down Georgie felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She pulled it out and saw Negan's name on the screen, but before she had time to answer it stopped. "Damn it" she huffed.

"Your mystery man?" Tyler teased. "You can call him back if you want".

"It's ok. I'll call him back when we're done here" she smiled. "So what's new with you? How's Katie?"

"Oh you know, not much. Still working at the Garage. Got a promotion last week, nice pay rise. I'm basically running the place now" he grinned proudly. "But um... Katie broke up with me" he said sadly.

"What!? Why? I thought you guys were solid?"

"Yeah so did I... turns out she was more solid with Danny"

"Ugh... that slut! And what an asshole. How could he do that to you? You've been friends for ages".

"I know right. Jerk... anyway. Enough about my sad love life. I wanna hear about this guy that's won you over. I've never seen you so happy".

"Ty it's-"

"Complicated... yeah you said that. C'mon Geegee... you used to tell me everything".

"I know Ty but this is... this could get me in trouble..."

"Georgie what have you done?" Tyler said seriously.

"Nothing. I mean... nothing bad. It's just... he's older".

"Older? Like how much older?"

"Old enough to be my father older" Georgie said with a shy smile.

"Oh my god Georgie..." Tyler chuckled. "At least tell me he's good looking".

"Soooo good looking" Georgie grinned.

"I don't get it. What's the big deal? Why could you get in trouble. Oh no Georgie is he married?" Tyler asked.

"What? No! Why do people jump to that?"

"People? Who else knows?"

"Jess, but not really. She just knows I'm seeing an older guy and it's complicated" Georgie told her big brother.

"Alright Georgie... spill. What's going on?" Tyler asked sternly.

"He's... my Professor" Georgie admitted in a hushed voice.

"What!? Holy shit Georgie... that's bad" Tyler chuckled.

"I know but... I really like him Ty".

"How do you know he isn't just using you Geegee?"

"It's not like that. He cares about me" Georgie reassured him.

"Well do I at least get to meet him at some point? I gotta do the whole 'break her heart I'll break your face' thing. I wouldn't be a good big brother if I didn't" he smiled.

"So... you're okay with it?"

"I mean, I would like to meet him and suss him out but yeah. I just want you to be happy Geegee. You deserve to be. And if he makes you happy, then I'm cool".

"You're the best Ty" she smiled. "I'm just gonna text him. I don't want him to think I'm ignoring him or blowing him off. We have plans tonight".

G: Hey Negan, sorry I missed your call. Are we still on for tonight?

Georgie and Tyler sat and talked for a while before she received a cryptic kind of reply from Negan.

N: I dunno. Are we?

G: What do you mean?

N: You're not busy with your boyfriend?

G: Negan what are you talking about?

Georgie's eyebrows knitted together in confusion. What the heck was he talking about.

"Everything okay?" Tyler asked.

"No" Georgie replied. " He thinks I have a boyfriend. I don't know where he got that idea- oh shit"

"What?"

"He must have seen me hug you back at school and totally got the wrong idea".

"Sorry Geegee" Tyler said sympathetically.

"It's ok, it's not your fault. I'm gonna call him and explain" she said as she put the phone up to her ear. It rang and rang before going to voicemail. Was he screening her call? She tried one more time and the same thing happened. "Fuck" Georgie sighed.

"Ty can you please drive me somewhere?"

"Of course sis. Let's go".

Pulling up outside Negan's house Georgie took a deep breath. "Wait here for me in case he's not home?"

"Sure. Good luck".
