Falling In Love With A Vixen

Chapter 3. The One I Admire

"Is that a threat?" He asked looking at me in bewilderment.

"Take it however you want. Just know  I won't tolerate these shitty accusations about me and Ms Teresa." I threatened getting up from my seat, I didn't even wait to be dismissed before I stormed out of the office.

On my way back home I kept kicking random thing's on the ground out of anger.

"One of these day's I might kill the Headmaster." I though to myself approaching my house.

Once I arrived, I pushed the door open and made my way inside. The moment I entered the living room I was astonished at what I saw.

The entire room was covered in birthday decorations. Not only that, there was also a lot of food and drinks  set on the table.

"Happy Birthday!" I heard Tess shout excitedly.

"What's all this?" I asked puzzled. Tess giggled before saying. "It's your Birthday today."

Hearing that I felt my heart flatter at her thoughtfulness. Not even I remembered my own birthday, honestly I thought nobody cared but now I see how wrong I was.

"Come on Brian." She grabbed me by the wrist and dragged me to the table.

Even though it was just the two of us, I was still content with how everything went. Thanks to Tess I had fun and I didn't spend my birthday alone.

The party and food were amazing and I could tell Tess put a lot of effort into it.

"Come on Brian drink it already." Tess commanded trying to get me to drink a bottle of whisky.

"I don't want It." I complained but unfortunately she wasn't taking no for an answer.

"Come on you're 19years now, It's obviously legal." She explained. I sighed and grabbed the bottle in my hand. Next I started drinking the liquid but I immediately spit it out  causing Tess to burst out in laughter.

"This is so bitter." I whined feeling like my mouth has been assaulted.

"You really are quite cute." She said with a smirk. "How can any normal person drink something so bitter!?" I complained. Tess then grabbed the bottle and drunk all it's contents in a matter of seconds.

Then she gave me a thumbs up once she was done. "Are you an addict or something?" I voiced out my concerns.  "Nope unlike you I can simply handle it." She smiled proudly.

There's nothing to be proud of.

"Now open this." She said handing me a wrapped present. I quickly removed the wrapping paper and opened the box only to see a laptop inside.

"What is this for?" I asked.

"You're a programmer aren't you? I figured your old computer must be hard to use so....." I cut her off and gave her a hug before saying. "Teacher thank you."

She smiled and wrapped are arm's around my neck. "Brian you don't have to thank me. I only want you to be happy."

"Also, I warned you to stop calling me Teacher." She frowned in displeasure pulling away from me.

"That's how I call you at school I'm practically used to it." I explained but I could tell I was only Irritating her even more.

"I don't care. When you call me Teacher it sounds as if  I'm really old but I'm only 4 years older than you." She explained and I could understand her complaints, Tess only became a teacher because she was in desperate need of money. She's in no way interested in the job.

If it weren't for me she would have quite a long time ago.

"Alright Tess I promise I won't call you teacher ever again." I assured her.

Tess grinned revealing her white teeth.

Lastly, after having cake and making a wish I was about to escort Tess back home but then I realised she doesn't have a place to go to.

"How did you even lose your apartment?" I asked curiously. Tess avoided my gaze and replied. "Oh it was because of debt."

Debt! Really? I don't even want to know.

"Ugh.... follow me." I instructed walking towards the guest room.

"Wow this room is so nice and I didn't think it would be this clean either." She said sitting on the bed.

"Was that a compliment or an insult?" I wondered.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I thought guy's your age didn't care about keeping the house clean let alone their rooms." She explained laying on the bed.

"Well you were clearly wrong. Good night." I said about to walk out the door.

"Brian!" I came to a halt the second I heard Tess call out my name.

"What?" I asked waiting for her reply.

"Aren't you gonna sleep here with me?" She asked making my eyes widen in surprise.

Me sleep with Tess?

"No way." I replied and quickly left her room and went to mine.

And without switching off the lights I collapsed on my bed. I then closed my eye's and immediately began to lose consciousness a clear indication of how tired I felt.

However, before I could fall asleep I heard someone knocking on my door.

"Tess what do you want?" I asked struggling to keep my eyes open.

"Brian I'm scared." She said giving me a sad look while holding her pillow in her hands.

"Seriously?! Does she really think this will work on me?" I wondered. She would have to be 4years old for this to work.

"Liar! Just go back to sleep." I ordered.

"Brian please...." she begged and I didn't have the strength to keep on arguing with her.

"Fine do whatever you want." I said rolling my eyes in exasperation. Shortly I felt the bed sink beside me and I could only speculate Tess was sleeping next to me.

"Well I guess it's okay as long as she doesn't bother me." I reasoned and slowly began drifting off to sleep.

Until I heard Tess whisper my name. "Brian. Brian. Brian."

"What?" I answered in an a sleepy tone.

"Thanks for letting me stay here." She said.

"You don't have to thank me." I replied wanting nothing more than to fall sleep.

"Brian. Brian. Brian." I heard her say my name once more.

"What?" I asked in irritation feeling extremely drowsy.

"Oh sorry I simply wanted to say good night." She explained irritating me even more.

"Good night!" I yelled turning my head to the other side.

After sometime I began drifting off to sleep for the third time but before I could fully lose consciousness.

I heard the devil saying. "Brian. Brian. Brian."

"What is it now!?" I yelled in frustration.

"Oh sorry....I forgot what I wanted to say." She replied and I felt like I was going to lose my mind.
