Cold love {teacherxstudent, wlw}

Part 47

*Danielle's POV*

Valentina's been distant for a while, I don't know why but we haven't talked since the morning at my house, I don't know if everything's okay with her.

The bell rings from History lesson and everyone starts leaving the classroom, I tell Ben he can go home because I will stay behind.

Once everyones out from the classroom I walk in front of Valentina, she looks up and smiles at me.

"Hi darling" she greets me smiling, I smile back tightly.

"Everything okay?" I ask her, we haven't talked for 5 days and she just smiles at me like nothing happened?

"Of course why wouldn't it be?" she asks her brows now furrowed.

"Do you know what day it is?" I ask her.

"Yeah March 3rd, Wednesday" she says still confused.

"Do you remember the last day we talked?" I ask her hoping she finally gets the message, for a woman with an exceptionally gifted mind she can be frustrating sometimes.

"Oh, I'm sorry darling, my head was just everywhere else" she says coming closer to me.

"Where?" I ask her interested, she barely tells me anything, I mean I know she has a company to run but sometimes I would appreciate a text, not like we are dating because obviously we are not.

"My sister is staying at my place, also La Clara's been busier now than ever and I have to make the exams you are about to write" she explains, her sister?

"And I get that and you know how much I admire you working so hard but we talked about this, at least write me a quick text" I tell her hoping she understands.

Her face softens "Of course, I'm sorry" she apologizes, I smile.

"Okay, I'll get going" I say, she smiles.

"We'll talk," she says "Can I come over this weekend?" I ask her we haven't been intimate for almost 1 week, that's a lot of time for us.

"I'm sorry I can't, at least not on Saturday and on Sunday afternoon, you can come over on Sunday after 6 if that's alright with you" she says offering me a smile.

"Sure, see you on Sunday" I say before walking out of the classroom.

I can't help feeling something is up, I know nothing is but I hate Valentina being so hot and cold, she means a lot to me and in these moments it's like I'm reminded over and over again that I don't mean anything to her.

I walk through the hallway when Ethan comes up next to me.

"Hey Dani" he greets I smile at him "Hey Ethan how is it going?" I ask him.

"So I kind of need your help" he starts "It's about Ben, I've been thinking and-" he gets cut off when Ben comes back into the building.

"Dani I wanted to-" he looks between us "wait for you" he finishes, his eyes darken.

"What is going on over here?" he asks his voice firm, Ethan starts "Ben-" he gets cut off "No, you know what I don't care" he says before storming out of school.

"I'm sorry" I tell Ethan before running after him, following him out of school.

"Ben" I yell after him, he stops in the parking lot looking back at me.

"What was that about Dani? Don't tell me you've been talking to him without telling me about it" he spits anger so clearly in his voice.

"Not talking, we've talked once and he found me now" I explain.
