To Be Loved (Teacher/Student)

Chapter 9

Jessie's POV

It was the morning after the day where Andrew met my grandparents and it was entertaining to say the least.

Grandma kept asking Mr. Pi- I mean Andrew embarrassing questions, and James was making kissing noises which caused me to blush.

And I don't know when they thought to do this, but Grandma and James ganged up on us and started singing that k-i-s-s-i-n-g song which made my face turn even redder...if that was possible.

But through all of that, some good came out of it.

For instance, I called Shelly, the waitress from the diner, and we really hit it off.

We talked about everything and I'm proud to say we're starting to become best friends.

Come to think of it, if it wasn't for Mr. Pierce, I wouldn't have met her in the first place. Remind me to thank him later.

Anyway, it was the morning after, and I woke up to do my daily routine.

When I got out of the shower, I took a towel and wrapped it around my torso to dry off.

I was in a Satellite mood, so I began singing You & Me.

When I was singing I began swaying with my back turned to the door, just getting lost in the music. While I finished singing, I turned around to look for some clothes, but stopped short when I noticed a body leaned in my doorway.

I screamed, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE!? GET OUT OF MY ROOM" and securely tightened the towel around me and threw the nearest pillow at him.

He started to apologize and make an excuse, but I cut him off by pushing him out of my room and slamming the door in his face.

Just to make sure he wouldn't try to come in the room again, I locked it.

'What a perv!' I thought to myself.

'You know you don't think that about him.' A voice in the back of my mind said.

'Oh, what do you know? You're just a part of my imagination.' I fired back.

'What I know is that you secretly enjoyed having him almost catch you without any cl-'

'Shut up!' I hissed at the voice in my head.

'Ok sorry! I'm just trying to help you out.'

'Help me out with what?'

'Realize that you are starting to feel for this man.'

'Whatever.' And with that, I shut the voice out.

I mean, I’ve only known the man for two days.

*******

I made my way downstairs and went straight to the refrigerator to get me something to drink.

When I found the apple juice, I turned to the table and noticed my Grandma and brother play fighting.

I laughed, but my smile immediately dropped when I looked at the only open table seat...next to Andrew.

Wow, this is going to be awkward.

I sat down and blushed. I couldn't help it, he almost seen me naked.

He tried explaining, "Look, I was way out of line this morning..."

I cut him off for the second time that day, "never mind that right now, we'll talk about it later."

In all honesty, I was still too embarrassed to talk about it.
