"This is such a fucking waste of time"
After an hour of struggling to grasp a simple math equation Travis was getting frustrated and I was starting to really feel for the guy, it was like shoving me onto the football field and expecting a touchdown within the first few minutes against a team of giants
"You just need to stop doubting yourself so much..... you're overthinking it"
He groaned throwing his head down on the pile of books with a thump that made me cringe.
"I'm stupid"
"You're not stupid.....I mean I've heard my dad talk football launguage and I don't understand a word of it so in that case I'm stupid too"
He sat up again and I caught a glimpse of a little smile before he took a deep breath
"Alright Swift......how are we gonna make this work?"
"Okay.......just.....clear your mind completely"
He gave me a strange look and I rolled my eyes getting up from my seat to stand behind him
"What motivates Travis Kelce?"
"Sex"
I slapped him behind the head and he jumped in surprise trying to sit up but I pulled him back by his shoulders gently starting to kneed them
"Wha-"
"Relax"
I felt his shoulders slump back and slowly but surely the tension started leaving his body with every soothing breath he took. I looked around very much aware that we weren't exactly in the best place for this considering this was high school and rumours started quicker than teenagers grew pimples but it was after school and the library wasn't exactly a hot hang out spot.
"Okay....now keep breathing"
I made my way back to my seat and smiled when he opened his eyes to look at me clearly more relaxed.
"Now keep trying.....and if you keep getting it wrong then I'll keep showing you.....just don't stop trying.....Rome wasn't built in a day"
He finally allowed that bright smile to cover his features and she had to admit she loved that genuine smile, no intentions behind it just a pure smile that lit up his whole face and made him ten times more attractive
It took another half an hour until he finally had it, after that everything went rather smoothly and we'd finished the rest of our work together. There was a moment of awkward silence as we stood in front of the school building staring at the ground but facing each other
"So.....I can drive you home?"
"That's fine I texted my mom a minute ago so she'll already be on her way"
He nodded scratching the back of his head then clearing his throat
"Oh yeah.....here...."
He dug around in his pants pocket before pulling out a 50 dollar bill
".....five lessons paid for......"
"Oh....", I reached out and took the bill holding it up with a big smile, "....thanks"
A few more seconds of silence was soon interrupted by a car horn, I looked up and waved at my mom as she parked a few feet away then looked back at Travis
"Well..... that's my ride.....same time tomorrow?"
"Yeah.....thank you"
"You're welcome"
And just like that I was walking away and getting into my mom's car, when the car didn't take off right away I turned my head to look at mom with a frown while she just looked back at me with raised eyebrows and a knowing smile
