Chapter 55

"Eyes up here" Miss Ruiz spoke, that got my attention

I realized I have been staring at her chest way too long to be appropriate. I wanted to give myself a big hard smack on the face. I can't believe I was caught staring for fuck's sake

"Y-yeah, I'm s-sorry for bothering you late at night. I-I don't know what's gotten into me, and I apologize." I nervously responded to her question

She only hummed as a response and her eyes never left mine. I hate that after all these years, she can still manage to intimidate the hell out of me.

No one spoke again and it's getting pretty awkward so I decided to break the silence

"Where can I get my clothes back, please?"

Then the image of her changing my clothes shoot up in my mind and I can feel my cheeks warming up from the thought.

Naka kahiya

She did not say anything and just proceeded to walk somewhere and soon went out from one of the rooms with my clothes on hand

I took it from her and our hands accidentally brushed lightly but was enough to make me feel the all too familiar spark. And I know that she felt it too because her eyes immediately shoot back up to mine, it was brief but I can see in her eyes the quick changes in her emotions

I withdrew my hand as fast as I could

"Thank you, and I apologize for intruding. It won't happen again" I reassured

And I was about to walk out of her house before she spoke again

"Aren't you going to eat?" she asked almost in an authoritative tone but with a hint of concern

I turned to her and my eyes wondered to the table that's beautifully set up.

"Um no thank you, I don't want to bother you that much" I nervously answered

I saw her eyes flashed a hurt expression but she was quick to cover it up that it makes me question if that even happened in the first place

She's not a morning person and that's one thing that I noticed about her. I even questioned her why she went for teaching if she's not a morning person to which she just gave me her iconic eye roll

Breakfast is something that she's used to skipping, it's not like she can't cook because she's in fact a good one.

"Right" she muttered

I watched her went back in the kitchen and was putting all the plates away. Something tugged on my heart seeing this
