He hadn't expected Elle to go for him, much less flirt like she did He wasn't interested, at first, she, another student with a boyfriend but she let her intentions be known, she was very clear, stretching, arching her back, waiting for him to look reaching, climbing, collapsing, all for the "air" so she spoke, she mentioned the book He liked Andelina, the actress, a singer, a writer Elle would have none of that, as she was an Alpha female. Domination through competition it should have been her middle name Andelina was angry, confused, hurt, she made several wise cracks at his expense, it was all a part of the lesson "Do you want us both?"
