Cold love {teacherxstudent, wlw}

Part 3

*Miss Powers POV*

I sit in my office, grading tests, it's only been a week since school started but of course i already made them write a test. I know a lot of people say I'm heartless and too hard on my students, but for the love of God they are in AP English, I'd rather be the cold hearted bitch teacher they hate but get into their dream college than the kind hearted teacher who they don't respect and treat her class as a free period, it is what it is.

This is my second year teaching, despite what it seems like I love doing it, I tranferred to this school because why not, I needed a change of scenery, no really everything got too much but I guess when your wife of 3 years cheats on you with your best friend well yeah that wasn't the most pleasant feeling, thank God I wasn't in love with her, the reason we got married was because it was convinient, I'm 22 not getting younger although I'm still pretty young, but I knew my life would be hectic, I had a girlfriend the sex was great, why not make her my wife so we can get it out of the way?

My family is pretty traditional, the fact I'm into woman, well let's just say they are not too fond of it, especially my dad who basically hates me over nothing, I don't know the reason but he always loved my siblings more, I don't really care tho, like why should I? I'm making the same money my family combined and my family is rich I mean like 'owning a law firm rich', I'm not just a teacher, I did multiple degrees, I started really soon, I got my law degree among other things, I only do teaching because I don't mind and my business doesn't need constant attention, and I can do it from far away.

I finished grading test and now I'm making calls to my business, it's a data storage company, we get the data that needs storing, we run it down, we update it if needed, everything along the way, I worked there when I was younger and got up on the ladder, I'm the youngest person and woman who ever been a CEO there but I proved myself and let me tell you it wasn't easy, but achiving what you want never is, that's why I am like I am with my AP English class, I don't really believe in emotions either, while I was married to Helena I never showed much affection, she just got on my nerves, and we mostly just had sex.

My phone rings and I see on display that it's my mom, I pick up "Hi Mom, everyting okay?"

"Hi, I just called because you should move back to the neighboorhood" Of course, not again

"Mom we talked about this I won't move back there, I found a place here and we are barely 30 minutes away, anyway" I know she won't understand she never does.

"What if you and Helena got back together, you guys were great, and I mean you can't really blame her for cheating when you weren't really affectionate towards her" Oh my god, really this again

"Mom I don't give a shit she cheated but to do that with Lily and basically cheating on me since our wedding?" Yeah this wasn't just a one time thing, not in cheating and not with Lily either.

As I said I don't show emotion but the one person who saw me showing anything was Lily, I really did care about her. Big mistake, one I will never make again.

"Watch your language young lady, don't just blame Lily, poor Helena was probably happy someone gave her some affection for once" Wow, low blow mom, but not the worst she ever gave me. Yeah of course I was at fault of Helena cheating a little bit, but Helena wasn't a saint either, she didn't want my affection, she basically ignored me our whole marriage as I said I was in it for the obligation and the sex, but the sex wasn't out of this world either, honestly I had better.

"I'm sorry Mom I have to go" I really don't, but I'm done with this conversation.
"Valentina, don't you dare hang up"
"Bye Mom" I hang up

Of course I know that my marriege didn't just end because of Helena but still my own family not being able to get over it just makes my blood boil, I'm a succesful woman and all they see me as someone who was worth being cheated on. Fuck, I need a drink.

————————-

I'm sitting in a bar, I don't even know if I've been here before, probably not.

A woman comes to take my order I look up and see a familiar blonde, it can't be "Danielle Wilson?" she looks at me clearly recognizing me "Miss Powers, what can I get you?"

"Gin and tonic please, keep them coming" Of course it shouldn't suprise me that much that one of my students works here but still "You work here?" stupid question Valentina, really fucking stupid question

"Yeah I do, is that it?" she looks really professional with her golden hair up in a pony tail, she isn't wearing a skirt right now or a crop top, she has a white shirt and a black jean on.

"When do you finish here?" why do I even care? clearly I only care because I'm her teacher and she should be doing homework or something I gave her right now, oh fuck it I don't even believe that I've been working since 16 beside school.

"It's friday and I had detention so midnight" I look down at my watch it's 10, I bet she would rather go partying right now with that friend or boyfriend of hers what was his name? Ben.

"Anything else?" I shake my head and she goes aways making my drink.

I honestly don't know what is it about her, she is smart I can see that and I can see she knows how to make a living too. She is the only person in my class who got an A+ for her exams, because I made them take the history and AP English exams the same day. This girl is a mystery but one I would like to solve myself.
