chapter 98

"What language features does the writer use?" I turn to the class. Everyone looks like zombies today.

"Anyone?" I chuckle. Nobody contributes. "Derek?" I look at him. He looks up from his desk. "Metaphor" he mumbles.

"Great! So all of you highlight that in your books" I turn around to the board and highlight it.

"Hey! Don't do that" Derek says as a paper ball gets thrown at the whiteboard next to me. "Thankyou derek, but I can handle it myself" I pick up the paper.

"Peter stand outside" I say. The boy who threw it gets up and leaves. "Everyone start taking notes please" I say. They all start writing. I go outside for a minute to talk to the boy.

I walk back into the classroom. "Miss! Miss! Miss!" Derek puts his hand in the air. I walk over to him. "What?" I chuckle. "I need the toilet" he says. "You went five minutes ago" I say.

"I need It again" he says. I look around to see if anyone is watching us. "You okay? Are you feeling ill?" I whisper. He shakes his head.

"You sure?" I put my hand on his shoulder. "Yeah, meredith" he whispers. "Okay, you can go" I say. He gets up and goes.

He comes back in soon after. I'm sat at my desk doing some paperwork. We make eye contact as he sits down. He smiles at me. I smile small.

"I love you" he mouths. "Do your work" I mouth. He grins, looking down at his book.

Ten minutes later, he stands up. "What's are you doing? Sit down" I say. He walks over to my desk and puts his book on the table. "Mark my work" he says. I sigh. I read it.

I grade it for him and hand it back. "Thankyou" he sits back down. "What did you get?" A girl asks. "C minus" he grins happily. I chuckle softly, shaking my head.

"Derek, redo it please.. we need you up to at least a b+" I sigh. He rolls his eyes, picking up his pen.

At the end of the lesson, everyone puts their books on my desk for me to mark and leaves. Derek stays behind.

He passes me his book. I read it. "Well done sweetie, that's much better" I pass him it back. "B+" he smiles. He leans down and kisses me softly.

I stand up. "Can you carry these for me please darling?" I pass him all the books. "Yes" he takes them. We go outside to my car, get in and I drive us home.

We get out of the car. He scoffs as he sees his mom outside. She walks over. "I've gotta put these down" he tries to go inside. "Wait" she says.

"I'm sorry derek" she says. I take my books off of him. "Go inside, I'll be in in a minute" he puts his hand on my back. I go in.

He comes in five minutes later. "You okay honey?" I smile at him. "Yeah" he says. He walks over. He kisses me. "We're okay.. we both apologised" he says.

"Good.. I dont like it when my two best friends are fighting" I say. He chuckles. I giggle. "Poor cristina" he says. "She'll live" I say.

"Will you tidy the house today please?" I ask. "Me!?" He exclaims. I squint my eyes. "Okay" he sighs. I smile.

"Only because I'm the best boyfriend ever" he grins. "If you were the best then you wouldn't make our house a pigsty in the first place" I giggle. He chuckles.

"Its mostly your clothes everywhere!" He exclaims. "And who takes them off?" I raise my brow. He grins, looking down. I giggle.

"Tidy now please" I sit on the couch. He sighs, going to the kitchen. He starts on the washing up first. I watch tv.

"Oh, you just relax my love.. let me do everything" he says sarcastically. "Thanks sweetheart" I smile. He rolls his eyes. I grin. He continues.

I get up and run over to him. I hug him. He turns around and hugs me back. "I love you" he says. "I love you more" I say. He shakes his head. I smile. I kiss him softly.
