CHASING THE MOON

CHAPTER 5

Artemis

I am now currently at the hallway and I feel kinda nervous. As I arrived outside her office, I knocked and heard her voice saying" come in". As soon as I come in, I saw her in her table and a woman in her visitors chair. I lowered my friend cause of shyness.

" So, it's her huh." the woman stated

" yeah yeah. Go now Maggie ." Miss astra says while the woman just laughed and stand up.

" hi dear, nice to meet you. I'm Maggie Yale." she said while she's infront of me.

"ahmm, nice to meet you po. I'm Artemis Callahan." I stated and smiled at Miss Maggie.

" I know dear because this possessive professor of yours was always talking about you." Miss Maggie said and she just smirked at Miss Astra. I looked at them confusingly.

" Po?" I confusingly stated. Miss Maggie just laugh at my reaction.

" Maggie that's enough. You better leave now before I kick your ass. " Miss Astra says.

" Okay okay HAHAHA." Miss Maggie leave while laughing.

After that scene, silence occupied the room as Miss Astra and I made eye contact toward each other.

" am I forgiven na po? " I spoked and asked. Miss astra shake her head indicating as a no answer.

" then, why am I here?" I asked again.

" you want my forgiveness right?" she asked and I nodded immediately.

" I will forgive you. If you will kiss me at the cheeks and state your apology that you sent early through text." she said that made my mouth hang.

" what? Kiss you? But we're not married. " I stated shockly.
She nodded and walk towards me.

" I thought you want my forgiveness? " I nodded.
" so that's the way you can do for me to forgive you. "she said while smirking.

" but, I can't do it. " I said as I lower my head.

" then, you can't have my forgiveness. You can go out now. " Miss astra says while giving me blank stare. I want to cry now cause of embarrassment and I want to leave, but I also want her forgiveness. So I decided to face while teary eyes and stated.

" Sorry na riri, please? I promise I won't forget na.
Pretty please, sorry na riri." stated while forcing my smile cause my tears are already flowing. After that I immediately went near her and tiptoe to kiss her cheeks.

After I did All she asked. I was about to run and get out, but she immediately caught my arm, made me face her and hug me tightly. As she hug me, my tears overflow and I am hundred percent sure that I made her shirt wet. Miss astra cares my head.

" I'm sorry baby if I made you cry. I didn't mean to. I was just teasing you and I didn't noticed that I already cross the line." She stated she hug me tight and kiss my head.

" you're so...mean...to me." I said while still crying. She want to lift my face but I just buried my face to her next tightly.

" come baby, face me. I'm not mad anymore. "she says. I just shake my head cause I am still embarrassed from still crying this hard in front of her. She didn't force me to face and just hug me tightly. Later on, she guided our body towards the couch and sit while she made me sit on her lap.

" baby, can you face me na?" she asked then cares my head again. I decided to face her, pouting while my tears are still overflowing my cheeks. Miss astra immediately wip it and smile at me.

"I'm sorry baby, I didn't mean to scare and made you cried hard." I just nodded at her.

" you still have class this afternoon?" I nodded at her again.
