Sooner or later

Chapter 8

When Monday roll around, I went back to class. I had had the best weekend ever when I walked in class. Matt was at his desk and I couldn't help but smile at him. He looks so good just sitting there doing nothing.
Hello Jesse, he said
Hello
How are you feeling today? He asked.
I feel great
He laughed yeah me too
We had to play it cool we couldn't let our little secret out. I didn't want him to lose his job not over me. It was hard not to stare at him during class. He was so handsome. So good looking I didn't want anyone else to know what was going on. I was in love with my teacher, although we neither one said the words to each other. I wondered if he felt  the same.
I couldn't wait to be alone with him again he was all I thought about all I dreamed about
After class, I was about to get in my car when I felt strong arms grab me from behind thinking it was Matt. I smiled and turned around, there stood Shane
What are you doing? I said breaking free from him.
I love you, Jessie he said
Well, I don't love you
Yes, you do. I know you do.
Well, you're wrong I said
Please give me one more chance let me make it up to you. Let me show you that I can change.
No, it's over. You need to face the fact I'm done and you need to be done too.
I'm not giving up on us
It's over you need to realize that
I made a mistake he said
Well, that mistake was your fault. I don't want to get back together with you. You're the one that cheated on me. I didn't cheat on you.
Is it because of that old man he said my heart fell
I don't know what you're talking about I said
The teacher you've been seeing
I haven't been seen any teacher. I said I had to make up a lie. How did he know about the teacher?
Yes, I know all about it. He said I know about your little day at the restaurant. I know he's been at your house.
Have you been spying on me I said
Don't worry about it I know more than you think I do he said
Shane, you need to leave me alone I said
I'm pretty sure students and teachers aren't allowed to date what the school would think about that
Stop I said you need to move on with your life go find someone else what happened to Brenda
I didn't love Brenda . It was just a one night thing.
It was not just a one night thing you've been behind my back for two months with Brenda
But it didn't mean anything he said
Well, that doesn't make things better
You was my life, Jess
Well, you messed up. I'm not the one that messed up.
Like I said this isn't over he stormed all
I stood there and watched him go. He been watching me knowing everything I was doing note about my dinner with Matt Newman had been at my house. Did he have a bug around the house or something?
What was I gonna tell Matt that we have to be careful because my ex-boyfriend was watching us? This was really upsetting. I couldn't stand this. I couldn't stand for this.

Came over that evening and I told him about
He
I know
He's gonna get what's coming to him?
I don't want him to cause you problems. I told Matt.
Me either so we may have to lay low a little while he said
I know I pouted
I don't like it either he said, kissing my lips
Kissing turned into touching, and we were naked and making love
God You make me feel good, he said
I hope so
You do just you drive me wild I've never felt like this before
Me either
Not even with Shane he asked
Not even with him
Was he your first?
Yes
Well, I want to be your last
You will be I smiled
Jess, I'm falling in love with you he said
I love you, Matt. I have for a while now.
But you're so young, he said
How old are you? I ask him.
I'm 30
So you're not much older than me and age is just a number
Yeah, but it's a number that can get us in trouble. He said with a smirk on his face.
I don't want to do anything to mess up your job. I told him.
I know you don't. This is why we have to be careful, especially with Shane acting the way he is he must be following me or you want to know everything that's going on.
I know I don't know why he can't see that and move on
Because you're beautiful
He had his chance and he blew it
I'm glad I'm not gonna blow my
You better not I teased him
Oh trust me, I'm not the kind to do what Shane does
Have you ever been in love? I ask him.
Yes Once
What happened?
It was five years ago. She had cancer, and cancer got the best of her.
Oh man, I'm so sorry
Yeah, it was pretty hard for a while. I haven't been with anybody since until you
Well, that long, I said
Well, I wasn't really looking when you came along when you walked in my room that first day my heart was in my throat. I never seen someone so beautiful and I couldn't stop thinking about you. It was driving me crazy you look so good you dress you smell good I really tried to ignore you, but I can't
I feel the same way I told him
Is that why you were always running out of my classroom?
Most of it, I said
Well, after tonight, we are going to have to watch what we do if anything is said I will say I came over to help you with more lessons to be a veterinarian
OK, I told him
I look for Shane to cause us trouble
Yeah, I know I don't know what to do
We just have to be careful that's all Matt said
How long do we have to be careful
Until the end of the semester until you graduate and becoming a veterinarian, and you're not my student anymore
But that's three months away
I'm sure we can manage three months
I hope you're right I said
Don't worry, you ain't gonna get rid of that fast
We laid in each other's arms. I was happy. My life was complete.
