Why did you leave me on read?

Bianca could feel her heart pounding in her chest as she looked back at him, her mind racing with thoughts of what had just happened.

Dr. Davis leaned in, his lips brushing against her ear as he whispered, "I'll see you in class tomorrow, Bianca." His breath was hot against her skin, sending shivers down her spine.

Bianca nodded, her voice barely above a whisper as she replied, "I'll be there."

As she looked at her phone, her eyes widened in horror as she saw the text from Robert. "Hey, why'd you leave me on read?" Bianca's heart sank, and a wave of guilt washed over her. She felt a pang of regret for what she had just done with Dr. Davis, and her mind raced with thoughts of how she was going to explain this to Robert.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing thoughts as she scrolled through the messages. Robert's texts were innocent, but Bianca knew she had to come up with a good excuse to deflect his suspicions. She thought for a moment, her mind racing with possibilities. And then, it hit her - the perfect lie.

Bianca's fingers flew across the keyboard as she typed out a response. "Hey, I'm so sorry. Dr. Davis wanted to ask me if I was interested in some research he was doing. I just got out and saw your messages," she wrote, trying to sound as innocent as possible. She hesitated for a moment before hitting send, her heart pounding in her chest as she waited for Robert's response. Dr. Davis had asked her no such thing, but she figured Robert wouldn't dare ask about this.
