❝No, Ace. I can't do it," I sob.
"I know you can take more than that, sunshine, come on," he encourages, pummeling into me in fervent motions. "One more for daddy, yeah?" He coaxes in a gruffly voice...

As the week passes, I find myself growing more excited about the upcoming flea market event. With class drawing to a close, I clap my hands to get my students' attention, the room falling silent.
"Listen up, everyone," I begin. "In just one month, our school will host a flea market, and I want all of you to participate. It's not just for fun; it's also an exercise in creativity and entrepreneurship,"
I can see the wheels turning in their heads as I explain further.
"You'll each have the opportunity to run a stand at the flea market, whether individually or in groups, and sell items or creations of your own,"
The prospect of showcasing their talents and efforts seems to light a fire within them. Then, I notice Olivia, her laughter and happy conversations with friends captivating me.
She has this incredible ability to light up a room with her laughter, her smile, and lively energy. I can't help it; I grab my phone, feeling a smile creep onto my face as I text her.
❝Me Hey, love, care to join me for lunch in my office? I've got empanadas, your absolute favorite ❞
I press send and see Olivia glance at her phone, her smile and sparkling eyes confirming she's on board. Her reply agreeing to join me for lunch in my office only adds to my excitement.
Lunch with Olivia always makes my day brighter, and the fact that we'll be having her favorite meal makes it even better.
After dismissing class, I start packing up to go to my office. But my attention shifts abruptly when I see Jaxon entering the studio and approaching Olivia.
My curiosity gets the best of me, and I watch closely as they talk. My brows furrow when they leave together, but Olivia shoots me a quick sorry look as she walks by. That glance leaves me feeling jealous and curious.
What the fuck is going on between them?
I can't help myself, so I quickly text her, asking about the situation with Jaxon and where they're going. She replies right away with a simple message and a teasing emoji.
❝Mine I'll explain everything in your office ;) ❞
Frustrated by her teasing response, I resist the overwhelming urge to follow them. Olivia promises to explain everything in my office, so I decide to head there instead.
As I wait for her in my office, I start feeling frustrated. It's been almost twenty minutes, and she's still not here. Our lunch break is only an hour long, and I was really excited to spend it with her.
With a frustrated expression, I decide to call her to see what's taking her so long, and step out of my office, clearly impatient.
When I open the door, I see Olivia standing there with her phone buzzing in her hand, giving me an apologetic smile. I soften a bit, but I still want an explanation. I grab her wrist gently and pull her into my office, locking the door behind us.
