The next day I feel so anxious coming to school, Mr. Bailey and I have spent time alone together on numerous occasions, but yesterday was different. I will be lying if I did not think about his touch and embrace, his hug is like a magical healing power, that even though I was pained physically, his touch gave me a great sense of calm in both my body and soul. So when Missy fetch me for school she sensed that something was up.
"You look more happy today than yesterday" she complimented me, I looked at her and smile. Is my optimism too evident at this point? I just shrugged and looked at the window, hoping she can drive faster so that we can arrive early to school.
As I proceeded down the corridor, my excitement grew, and when I arrived at Mr. Bailey's room, I took a deep breath before entering his classroom, he's already sitting on his desk busy on his laptop and some of my classmates were already seated on their own desk.
I stared at him, and I was a little upset that he didn't look when I passed by his desk so I dropped my bag on the table and sat down, still focusing so intently on Mr. Bailey that I nearly missed the note that was attached to my seat. I look at the paper, which bears my name. So I pulled the note and glanced at it, perplexed, while I unfolded the letter:
Smile. Don't loose it, that's one of my favorite thing now - R.B.
As I looked at the letter, I couldn't help but smile. The note included the sender's initial, so I knew who it was from. I looked over him, and I can see that he is now looking and smiling at me. I smiled back, biting my lower lip to contain my thrill at the moment.
Simple notes always make me happy, and I prefer them to over material gifts. Once everyone was settled down Mr. Bailey started his lessons. As I raised my head to listen to his discussion my mind wandered on our first meeting and recalled how unaware we were that I will be his student.
I couldn't help but wonder, if I weren't his student and he wasn't my teacher, where would we be at this moment? Although romantic relationships between teachers and students are frowned upon and are unlikely to be accepted by society, I can't help but wonder if we could make things work since we just told each other how comfortable we were with one another.
He let us do an essay for the remainder of the time and once the school bell rings he instructed me to collect all the papers and handle it to him. I stood up and collected all my classmates paper and they all went out from the room, I fixed the papers before handling it over to him.
"Here you go Mr. Bailey" I gave the paper and he touched both my hands
"Eli you don't need to be formal when we are alone, remember I already kiss you" he chuckled not removing his hand on mine, my mouth slightly opened I did not expect he will bring that out, most especially we are here inside his classroom. The kiss was just a little peck on my lips, but it still feels like heaven.
"You remember" I smiled at him not being shy about it
"Of course when it comes to you Eli everything is memorable" he brushed his fingers on my cheek and he pulled it out immediately, but that simple touch was enough for my breath to be erratic.
"How are you?" He squeezed my hand rubbing the back of it
"Still bruised but better" I smiled at him and he took the papers from me,
"Good to hear, remember if you are ready you can tell me okay?" He sweetly said and I looked at him feeling a great sense of comfort. Then the classroom door opened and we immediately dropped our hands, we both turned to looked at the door and I was surprised that Missy and Michael were entering his classroom, and I remembered that they have Mr. Bailey as their second period, Missy looked at me baffled.
