To Be Loved (Teacher/Student)

Chapter 8

Andrew's POV

I rolled over on the bed and opened my eyes.

When I officially came to, I realized that I wasn't in my own bed.

I looked around and noticed I was in a maroon colored room with a flat screen TV hanging on the wall opposite of the bed I was sleeping on.

Then I looked to my right and noticed my phone lit, telling me I had 8 notifications. I bet they are all from my brother.

When I looked at who sent it, sure enough, it was Austin.

'Hey bro, I went to the kitchen to get something to eat, but you weren't there.'

'Bro, where the hell are you?'

'Dude, I hear noises...I'm scared!'

'Oh false alarm, it was Minty.'

'Man where is your food?'

'Is there a such thing as food making itself?'

'You know what, just forget it, I'll order pizza'

'One last thing, where is the phone book? :)'

I shook my head and went to the bathroom to do my morning business then went downstairs and noticed James sitting at the breakfast table.

"Hey bud!" I said while sitting down at the table with a plate in front of me.

I smiled up at Gracie and exclaimed, "Thanks for the breakfast. It smells delicious!"

"Oh you're welcome sweetie. Would you be a doll and go wake Jessie up for me? She sleeps like bears do when they hibernate."

I nodded while laughing and made my way up stairs.

When I got up there I didn't exactly know which room was hers.

I do remember James' room and the one I slept in, but there are about 3 other closed doors.

I took a wild guess and chose the one on the right and without even thinking, I just went in.

When I opened the door, the sight in front of me took my breath away.

Jessie had her back towards me and she looked like she just got out of the shower with a towel wrapped around her body.

She was singing You & Me by Satellite.

It was the most beautiful sound I have ever heard.

As she was taking her towel off, I almost got a glimpse of her but she turned around and our eyes met.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN HERE!? GET OUT OF MY ROOM! “She screeched at me.

She securely wrapped the towel around her and threw the closest pillow at me.

I, shocked to a point where I couldn't move, put my hand over my eyes and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! I didn't know this was your room and your grandma told me to get you to so you can eat break-"

Before I could finish she pushed me out of the room and locked the door behind her.

I sighed and went back downstairs.

When I got down there, James and Gracie were arm wrestling while Gregg was nonchalantly drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.

I ate my breakfast in silence and was completely zoned out until I heard a small bang and someone saying, "I may be old, but I'm still as strong as I was years ago."

"You only beat me becausse you cheated." James fired back while sticking his tongue out at her.

She walked over to him and grabbed him in a playful head lock.

"Say uncle!" She demanded.

"Never!"

She pressed only slightly harder. "Say it!"

"OK, OK uncle!"

I smiled and turned my head to the movement at the refrigerator.

There she was in a pair of tan shorts and a light and dark gray off the shoulder Beatles shirt. On top of that, she wasn't wearing any makeup.

So simple, yet so beautiful.

After she got some orange juice, she looked at the table and noticed the only open chair was right next to me.

She sat down and almost the same time, we blushed.

"Look, I was way out of line this morning..." I started.

"Never mind that right now, we'll talk about it later."

I gulped. It was going to be one interesting afternoon.

*2 Hours Later*

I was on my way back home with Jessie and James in the car.

I made sure James was asleep before I started explaining.

"I'm sorry for barging into your room like that. Gracie told me to wake you up and bring you down for dinner but obviously, you were already up.  I sincerely apologize and I hope you can forgive me."

I looked over at her face and noticed a slight hesitation but then her face turned to a frown.

"I accept your apology. Next time though, either ask which room belongs to whom, or knock. You never know who could be doing what on the other side of the door." As she said this, she started blushing.

"Duly noted." I said with a slight smile remembering when she almost took her towel off.

*******

When I pulled into her driveway I asked for her phone.

"Why?"

"Just in case of an emergency, you and James can either call or just come banging on the door. Austin or I will answer the door."

She simply nodded her head and handed me her phone.

I punched my number in her phone and handed it back to her.

Without another word, she just left the car and gathered James and their belongings and entered their house.

I pulled out of their driveway and backed up into mine. Man I love living right across the street from her.

Sorry for the wait! I apologize, but I am writing the next chapter so stay tuned! :)

P.S- Satellite is an amazing band and their music is also amazing!

P.P.S- Olympus Has Fallen is the best movie EVER in my opinion! I really recommend going to see it when it comes out on the 22nd. It'll have you on the edge of you seat from beginning to end.

Love  you lots- Oni
