Ch 5: Some Interesting 20 questions

"And Maria, kindly do not forget about your detention today." Maria heard Mr D –a.k.a Blake– say in that really deep, extremely sexy voice of his.

She turned to look at him, astonished, her eyes almost dropping out of their socks. He had the nerve to chuckle then grin at her. She just frowned.
How could he think of that?

Sure, she had planned on skipping but how did he guess?

Maria's shoulders slumped in defeat, and she groaned. Felicity had a small smile on her face whereas Kelly smirked and playfully hit her on the arm.

She quickly changed then headed to the prison cell that was her detention.

Maria was getting a little bit confused over her own feelings. On one side, she was fantasizing about her teacher most of her waking time, the female in her was excited to be in his company for another hour...

But there was this other part of her, the reasonable one, that kept on telling her it's SO wrong to think of him that way, that she shouldn't get attached or anything.

'Aaaaaaargh! What should I do?' She inwardly cried out while heading to the French classroom.

She slammed the door harder than normal. Mr Donnovan's head snapped up from his laptop. He was sitting on his desk, in all his 6-feet-something glory. He was wearing some faded blue jeans, a tight-fitting white dress shirt, and Maria could only imagine his hard abs hiding beneath that thin layer of clothe.

'I can't imagine the sight when drenched after some pouring rain,' she thought dreamily, 'or better shirtless.'

A second later, the reasonable part of her made its appearance. 'Oh no! Here I am fantasizing again. Stop it Maria, don't make a bigger fool of yourself!'

When her eyes met his, she saw that they definitely held amusement, and his smirk was quite wide.

Maria could only guess she had been caught red handed checking him out. She couldn't help the blush that crept its way on her face, and she therefore blurted out the first thing that came to her mind, "Sorry about the door. I didn't mean to."

"Uh-huh." He smiled knowingly.

Maria chose to sit beside the window, and he was soon sitting on the desk next to hers.

"You have emptied the boxes," he started, as if he was truly thinking things though, "What should I make of you now?" He finished in a playful tone.

Oh well, Maria was thinking of many things he could do to her.

'Damn those freaking hormones!' She inwardly sighed.

"Nothing physical." She mumbled, still looking straight at the board. She was afraid she might lose it if she looked his way once more without being free to touch him.

She felt rather than saw his eyes on her.

'Oh god, why did I have to say PHYSICAL?' She mentally face-palmed, 'I didn't even mean it like that.'

"Why?"

Right then he sounded like a whining baby.

"My arms are hurting like hell thanks to you," she cried out in response, turning to glare at him.

"Oh come on, you just did some push-ups!" He said, using a smug tone, and wiggling his eyebrows.

Oh, how much she wanted to hit him right then.

Bad idea, Maria immediately concluded. If she did, she would feel the increasing undeniable lust. She could always throw something at him though. But she wouldn't want to do any damage to that...
