Cold love {teacherxstudent, wlw}

Part 49

*Valentina's POV*

"Good morning sleepyhead" I say to Maddie who comes down from upstairs.

She rubs her eyes and yawns, I smile at her.

"There is aspirin and water in the kitchen, drink it" I tell her, she nods before going into the kitchen.

I follow her "You sleep well?" I ask her, she nods "Sure it was okay" she says before swallowing the pill.

"Thanks for taking me home" she thanks me "Well I couldn't just leave you there alone" I say smiling.

"Though I guess you would've been with Amber" I think out loud, she stops her movements.

"What about Amber?" she asks back, I look at her confused "Nothing just that she is always so protective over you so if I left you there she wouldn't have" I explain the already obvious.

Maddie snorts "Yeah she is definitely not protective over me" she scoffs, okay so she doesn't like Amber.

"Well-" I start saying but the doorbell rings, I furrow my eyebrows I don't expect anyone.

I open the door and my mom comes stumbling in, I furrow my brows "How did you get through the gates?" I ask her.

"Where is Maddison? I'm taking her home now" she says, Maddie comes out from the kitchen with her water in hand.

"Mom?" she asks confused "Honey, I missed you so much" she uses a voice she never used with me.

"Yeah I'm sorry I went away I just wanted to spend some time with Valentina" lies, okay not completely lies but still.

"Are you ready to come home?" my mom asks her "Yeah, I would have gone home by tomorrow the latest anyway" she shrugs.

"Go upstairs and pack your things" I tell her, she nods and goes upstairs.

"Now onto you" my mother says, I suck in a deep breath, let's today show begin.

"Really taking my daughter away? What were you thinking? Maddie needs to be with us, not with you" she says, she is already exaggerating.

"She was here for a little more than a week, it's not like I kidnapped her" I say.

"You are a bad influence Valentina, I don't want her turning out like you" she says, I smile.

"Turning out how exactly? Are you referring to the fact I'm a lesbian or a whore because I can't quite understand" I ask knowing damn well my mother was a mess when the media couldn't stop talking about my flings.

"You know that's not what I mean, until it doesn't affect our business I couldn't care less who you love" she says "The problem is on the love part, you are cold as an ice Valentina" she says.

"You will be our heir and you will make the mistake again that you just won't care about your future wife, it will look bad" my mother says, I scoff.

"What if I did love someone? If I did show them affection and would do anything for them?" I ask, my mother starts laughing.

"Come on, who are you kidding?" she asks "The only love you can give is cold love, you being warm with someone? Out of the question, you couldn't do it with a perfect woman like Helena, there is no better than her" she says.

"Except there is" I murmur, she widens her eyes "Really there is? So you are seeing someone? Which family is she from?" she asks, of course now she cares.

"Why does she have to come from a influential family? It doesn't matter in a relationship"  I say.

"Great you she is a nobody" she scoffs.
