Teach Me (18+)

Chapter Two

Gianna's Point Of View

The next morning I was at my desk waiting for my students to flood in. My morning warm-up and everything I do routinely was on the board as I answered emails and at my breakfast.

"So how did the parent-teacher conference go last night," a familiar voice echoed from the door.

I turned my attention to the light-skinned woman who seemingly invited herself in.

"Kels, I don't know what else to do," I sighed as she sat on one of my kid's desks in front of mine.

"So I'm assuming bad," she said.

"Very, " I huffed setting my spoon down no longer feeling hungry.

"What happened? Did her mom go off on you?" Her voice filled with concern.

"No- and! It wasn't even her mother it was her aunt and we didn't even talk really. And she said we needed to reschedule, " my voice laced with frustration.

"That sounds very frustrating," she said glancing around my room and noticing the card on my desk.

"Eden Winslow... CEO?" Kelsey's eyebrows furrowed.

I just shrugged it off now turning my attention to my students rushing in and the starting bell.

"Well if she misbehaves give her a call?" Kelsey said hopping off the desk and heading to her classroom.

I huffed and put away my breakfast preparing to start my class. I stood from my desk chair walking towards my door to close it after seeing the 11/12 student I had.

As I went to pull my classroom door shut it was forcefully pulled back open causing me to stumble a bit.

"I-I" finding myself at a loss of words from the sudden force.

Seeing her familiar face, smelling her familiar scent. Seeing her now next to Lilith is wasn't no doubt that they were related. Their features were almost exact, the same pouty lips and big dark brown eyes.

If they looked almost spitting image, I could only imagine what her mom looked like.

"Good morning Miss. Graves, I would like to assure you Lilith will be on her best behavior today and allow you to complete your lessons," Eden's voice firm and strong yet soft and delicate.

"Thank you, I really need to-"

"Very well, Lilith behave"She spoke before turning on her nude heels to leave.

But her presence lingered over me. Her heels clicking down the hall, her dark black hair swaying down her back. Her dark, toned legs exposed by the short white dress she wore.

I found myself eyeing her appearance, feeling a sense of relief at her previous words.

Just like that, I fell into my daily routine teaching my class their lesson uninterrupted, until an irritating banging noise.

I turned noticing Lilith hitting her desk with her metal water bottle.

"Lilith please don't start, "I said already tired of her antics.

"I'm not doing anything," she said continuing to bang her water bottle on the desk.

"Please. We have semester testing, I have to teach Lily" I sighed placing my hands on my desk.

"Why do we have to have testing? If they didn't think we were smart we wouldn't be here," she said stopping her banging.

"You have an excellent point Lily, but we do," I said with my full attention on the dark-skinned child.
