Her Teacher

Chapter 18

CLARKE

DING!

The fuck is at the door?

Who could it be this time of the morning?

DING!

Don't you have a home fucker?

Pulling it open. My frown deepened. Diyoza stood at my door. Shit me, who the fuck lets her in this building. Rolling my eyes, I step aside and she calmly walks into my home.

Great, just great.

She took a seat on the couch as I joined her in the same way. Sitting on the one sitter. "What can I do for you Diyoza?" her response was to let out a sound that sounded like she's choking. She better not puke on my carpet.

"Plenty." She looked around the place, then back at me. "First of all I know you're still seeing my daughter. Secondly I just found out that your company is on life support." What the fuck is she talking about? "Didn't pick you for the subtle type so I was shocked that you are a silent partner at the school. I thought you are a take charge kind of person and yet you hide in plain sight."

How I've managed to stay rooted is beyond my knowledge.

"How I choose to run my business is my problem."

"If they will be one, I mean you don't have the finance to keep running the school at its pace, they will be some cuts and even that won't pay the debt in time." A snort ripped out of me as I tried to calm down and try to understand.

Debt?

I want to bounce on someone but I can't show her that I don't know clearly she dug around and is ready to pull some shit I won't like.

"Get to the point. Or are you here to summaries what I already know."

She smiles. Enjoying the control she has over me. "Point is I can have that due date reduced, maybe have the school auctioned if the money won't be paid on time." Fuck her. "Or I could mind my own business, if you break it off with my daughter." had a feeling it was coming to this. However I'm more worried about how I got drugged back into the school's affairs.

Fucking Raven.

Diyoza took my silence has defeat. Continuing to spit nonsense, "Lexa has a bright future ahead of her, the only reason why she's messing with you is because I didn't give her much attention. This is just one of her tantrums but she hit a nerve this time." Why am I listening to this shit? It's her next words that have me frozen. "Besides she's engaged." That ticked me off but I managed to hold it together, I will not show this woman my roller-coaster emotions right now. "Thought you would have a tough time understanding what I'm saying, so I brought you gifts." By that she means pictures of Lexa and some girl at various events and some look very domestic and cozy.

My glare at her as her off my couch with a devilish smirk. "Now that I made my point, I'll take my leave now." She starts waling out when she turns as she remembers something. "Oh, if I don't get a call from my broken hearted daughter, you'll think the tsunami is fiction."

Bitch.

I've been looking at the pictures for hours now. With my phone in my hand. there pictures of her kissing this...fuck...the thought of someone else touching her makes me crazy, worse if I get to look at this shit. I dial a number that came second in my mind.

"Hello?" her cheerful voice comes through making me angry.

"What the fuck did Raven do?"

"Oh." I should be angry with her for knowing but this is only one person's fault.

Scoffing. "Fucking right OH! Shit Octavia, is she there?" there is shuffling on her end before it goes extra quiet.

"Why don't you calm down and I'll be there after work." Staring at the picture of Lexa smiling at this blonde bimbo. "We can talk this through..." hell the fuck no.

I hang up and look through the school's accounts for the first time in years.

And I don't like what I'm seeing.

"Just when I wanted to do something that doesn't include you, you go behind my back." I couldn't even seat down because of how worked up I was. "Why?"

She sighs. "Why? Clarke I just wanted to help, there was no way I could allow you to quit."

"Listen to yourself." Please let me not slap her right back to reality. "Allow me? I don't need your permission and I don't owe you any explanation." Looking at her right in the eye. "You made sure of that."

She gets up of her chair, now she's agitated. Welcome to the club. "Please, is her pussy that good that you will leave your own business just so you can be with her?"

"It's always about sex with you. Did it ever occur to you that I just wanted to create distance between us?" She opens her mouth I glare at her real hard so she knows I'm not playing. "First you force me with Bellamy then you want to push me to Nylah. I am sick of your shit Raven, I just wanted to be left the fuck alone, but I couldn't even have that." At least she has the brain to look guilty. "Funny thing is that you keep involving yourself in my shit yet you couldn't tell me that you owe the bank money."

"I'll handle that."

"Thanks to you Diyoza has other plans." Thinking about her just makes me ten times mad. The worst thing is that I can't even relieve myself after this. Why did I promise Lexa not to seek out relief elsewhere?

She walks towards me, and I swear if she touches me.

Oops spoke too soon.

"Raven?" once there was a time I enjoyed her company, now I always feel awkward. "Don't fuck with me." she rolls her eyes but steps back.

"All I ever wanted was for you to find someone who could give you what I couldn't."

"Bullshit." Give me a fucking break.

"I never satisfied you in bed." she hisses like it was yesterday and not a few years ago. "First you faked it then when I asked you not to you were cold, nothing I did worked. I tried and I just wanted to give you everything."

"Yeah. But you fucking dumped Me." this was going nowhere. "And now you can't give me the fucking space I need, and as for Lexa, you better shut the fuck up because I'm this close to losing my freaking mind."

"She's fifteen. What could she give you?"

Stepping closer like I'm not close enough. "Shut the fuck up."
