professor amick

chapter 5

I try to slowly open my eyes as the first rays of sunshine peek trough the curtains. I've slept better than ever before even though my headache is killing me right now.

I move a little, wanting to go back to sleep for a couple more minutes, but I remember that I' am not in my own bed and something trapped over my waist makes me stop.

I open my eyes again only to see that someone has her arm wrapped around my waist and her head is resting on the same pillow.
Ms. Amick's breath is slow, showing that she is still asleep and I' am afraid to move and wake her up.

I close my eyes to pretend I' am asleep as well in hope that she wakes up first.
After a couple minutes I feel her move behind me, her arms leave my waist.

I can feel the mattress shift as Ms. Amick stands up. I hear her walk over to the bathroom and she turns on the shower.
I turn back around in bed as my headache is killing me slowly and I close my eyes and drift into a light slumber.

I wake up as I hear soft music coming from down stairs. I stretch my hands above my head and let out a satisfied groan. I wish I could stay in this bed forever.

I just lay in bed for a few more minutes staring at the ceiling. After that I go inside her bathroom, washing my face and I search for a toothbrush in her cabinet, cleaning my teeth so I don't have a morning breath.

The smell of fresh coffee becomes stronger as I walk down the stairs.
When I look into the room I see Ms. Amick standing before the stove, her body slightly moving to the music, humming to the lyrics of the song.

Before I walk over to her I lean against the wall, taking a moment to enjoy my view.

''Good morning'' I greet her with a smile.
She turns around. ''goodmorning, Y/n'' She returns the smile.

''I made you breakfast, you must be hungry after last light, I hope you like pancakes''

I walk over to the barstool in her kitchen and sit down.
''You shouldn't have, I can go if you want me to, I' am sober now only a little hangover''

''I want you to stay'' She hands me a glass of water with ibuprofen. I gratefully swallow the pill down with the water and hopefully my headache goes away soon.

She puts the pancakes on plate and walks over to where I' am sitting, placing the pancakes in the middle of the table.
My eyes widen as I see the pancakes ''They look so good''
''Thank you Y/n, I hope they taste as good as the look'' She smiles sitting down opposite of me.

I look her right in the eyes. ''Maybe I need to get drunk more often, so you can always make me breakfast''

I hear her chuckle ''You really don't have to get drunk for that. I would rather make you breakfast than seeing you drunk in a club dancing with god knows who''.

I bite down on my lip, taking a sip of my water not knowing what to say.

After breakfast I stand up and walk over to the sink and I start washing my plate that's the least I could do after she made me breakfast.

''Thank you again, Ms. Amick'' She nods.
''No problem, honey but please call me Mädchen and I should take you back to your dorm so we should go upstairs and get you dressed'' She says.

We walk up the stairs and Mädchen walks over to her closet. She hands me a white sweater with a simple pair of jeans.
''I'll make sure to wash this and bring it next class'' I spoke standing up to grab my shoes.
''there is no need to stress about it, there is no time restraint on returning it''.
Mädchen stood in the door way watching me struggle to get me shoes on.
