Cold love {teacherxstudent, wlw}

Part 5

*Miss Powers POV*

I woke up on Monday still feeling like shit, I know I should have texted Danielle after what happened Friday night, but for starters I didn't have her number and I really didn't have an acceptable mentality to start writing her an e-mail.

I can't really remember what happened, just that I got shit face drunk and she took me home, which by the way never really happens to me, I know my limits, and I don't cross them, okay I cross them but only sometimes.

I got ready for the day I went with another white button up blouse which sleeves I rolled up, a jean, and a combat boot. For accessories I put on a necklace, rings and a bracelet.

—————————

I got into school, my first classes were boring as usual, I know I said I like this job, of course I do but I have my days too, and right now those 2 free days seem really really few.

I'm teaching my AP English class right now, but my eyes keep darting back to Danielle, she is in an oversized hoodie which is really unsual for her, and jeans. She also looks spaced out, normally I would scold a student for this kind of behavior and no matter how much I want to do it to her too I just can't, she looks so...sad. What the fuck, I don't care, I'm just here to teach a class.

After history Danielle always stays behind for detention, this is her last week, well okay maybe it was a shitty thing to give her detention in the first place but she deserved it, nobody fucks with me, nobody, and that includes an 18 year old girl too, we only have 4 years between us so it's not even much but still.

We work in silent, but I just can't let the fact that she looks like this go, I don't mean her clothes, rather her posture and everything, So I ask "Is everything okay?" she looks up at me suprised "Y-Yeah of course"

I know she is lying, of course she is "Look you don't have to tell me anything but don't lie"

"Why do you hate it so much when people lie?" I look at her suprised raising an eyebrow "I don't know how that concerns you"

"Okay how about this, if I answer your question honestly you answer mine" I look at her intrigued, I hate it that I want to do this with her, I really shouldn't care how she is this much, but fuck, okay I will play this once it doesn't mean anything.

"Deal" she smiles, fuck that smile, it brightens up her whole face, she is beyond gorgeous, what is happening to me, snap out of it Valentina.

"Then no, no I'm not okay" why does this hurt me too? I hate seeing her like this "Why? What happened?" I hope for an answer "That wasn't in the deal for me to answer" of course she doesn't give me one " Now it's your turn to answer me"

I suck in a deep breath "I just simply don't get why people can't tell the truth, they always come up with something that's other than the truth, if you feel something say it, if something's on your mind speak it, I would rather much be hurt with the brutal truth than comforted with a lie"

She looks at me like she never saw me before, those electric blue eyes staring into my green ones, I suck in a breath and look away "You may continue your work now" no matter how much I want to keep talking to her and make sure she really is okay, when I know she is not.

Detention is coming to an end, and she stands walking towards me I look up at her she holds out her hands, my earrings, I wondered where they had gone.

"You left them in my car on Friday" I take it from her "Thank you" we hold eye contact for a few seconds before I dismiss her "You can go now" she looks taken a back a little "Bye Miss"

———————————-

I'm pouring myself a drink before my phone rings, I hurriedly pick it up.

"Hey Amber, what's up?" Amber and I had been best friends since middle school, Amber, Lily and I were a trio, but of course Lily had to ruin that by sleeping with my wife.

"Hey babe, I was just wondering how you are" Amber calls me almost everyday checking in if I'm okay, I think it's really thoughtful of her but I don't need anyone checking in on me, I'm perfectly fine.

"As always I'm okay" I don't know if she believes me or not but then again I don't even know if I believe myself or not.

"Val, you know that you can talk to me about anything" I know that, but I never do, not just to Amber tho, I have never been one to talk about my feelings, I don't care and sometimes I wish I was different but then again I don't really care, I have an empire, I'm doing something I enjoy besides it, so what if I don't have a wife? If I want a quick fuck I can just go down to the bar and pick someone up.

"Yeah I know Amber" she sighs "Okay well the other reason I called you was because we have  to get drunk"
 
I roll my eyes at this, Amber is the biggest player I've ever met, she is bisexual so she basically fucks everything moving, and she loves to take me along with her just to leave me all alone by the end of the night.

"You know I have to work" It's true I really do have to work, but I also want to get drunk and have a great fuck, I haven't slept with anybody since me and Helena broke up and that was almost 2 years ago, it's not that I don't want to, I just don't have the time, and honestly I've already had sex with enough people, before Helena and I got together, of course I slept around a lot, it was just experiencing back then, and well who am I to deny my body pleasure? But sex was never something I let get to my head, I always had my priorities and boundaries.

"Well okay I can understand that, but what about Saturday? You don't have to work then" I really want to decline, but me and Amber haven't gone out in a while and she kind of is the only person who I can tolerate so I own her this much.

"Okay, Saturday it is" I can hear her doing a happy clap on the other side on the phone, I smile "Great Val, I'll go now, bye" she hangs up.

I go and do my night routine skin care, after I start reading a book, I love reading but I only have little time to spare, as I'm finishing I put the book down and turn off the lamp.

As I am staring at the ceiling I can't stop thinking about Danielle, I can see something is bothering her and I want to find out, I want her to trust me, and I just don't know the reason why this shit is eating me up. I close my eyes and try to sleep.
