A Fractured Lover (Student/Teacher)

Chapter 26

"Silvia?"

I blinked. Nothing changed. I blinked again. Still nothing. I had to be dreaming though, right?

What other excuse could possibly give reason as to the woman sitting not but ten feet away from me, looking as smug and as plastic as ever.

Her devious eyes had not met mine yet. They were still concentrated in triumph on Nathan, who, at this point, looked annoyed enough to burst.

"Hey, baby." She smiled seductively at him from the couch as she pulled one of her legs over the other one, crossing them and effectively showing off an ample amount of tanned skin due to the short, black dress she was wearing.

Nathan's eyes glazed over in obvious confusion. "What...what are you doing here?"

She smiled and sat up a bit, pushing her chest out in the process.

"Daddy dropped me off."

"And why would he do that?" Nathan inquired in an incredibly passive aggressive tone.

"Because I told him we had a dinner date!" She laughed gave him a 'duh' sort of look as she flicked her perfectly straight blonde hair over her shoulder.

There was a moment of dead silence in which Nathan seemed to be pondering over his next words with great care.

"Are you insane?" He asked in all seriousness.

I couldn't help but finally make myself known as laughter tore through my body at his question.

"Do you really have to ask that?" I managed to say through my laughter. Suddenly, Silvia's eyes snapped over to mine and clouded over with what I could only assume was pure hatred.

"Nathan," Silvia said in a clipped voice that had dropped considerably lower. "What is she doing here?"

"Aww, I missed you too," I said in a sickeningly sweet tone.

"What the hell, Nathan? Is she what you've been so busy with that you haven't had time for me? For your girlfriend!"

"I broke up with you over a month ago!" Nathan yelled exasperatedly, throwing his hands up into the air.

"Stop saying that! I know you're going through a phase or something but I'm tired of waiting for it to end! Just come back to me, Nathan baby." She pouted up at him from the couch.

"Wow, you must be off your meds again," I couldn't help muttering, throwing my two-sense in there. Nathan turned on his heel to face me.

"Alex, stop," he said in a hushed voice. But by the look in his eyes and quirk of his lips, you could tell that he definitely found humor in what I had said.

I held my hands up in a mock surrender as he swiveled to face his Ex again, who had now shot up from where she was sitting and had taken a step closer to Nathan and myself.

"Say that to my face, bitch!" Silvia screeched as fire burned in her eyes.

Wait..didn't I just? Is she serious?

My head reared back and my eyes scrunched in confusion. "But I just...did," I stated more as a question. "I mean were you not...listening?"I pointed my fingers back and forth between the two of us to try and get my point and confusion across more. And then a thought struck me.

"Oh, man. You really are off your meds, aren't you?"

A battle cry ripped through her lips as she took off and tried to plow through Nathan to get at me. Thankfully, Nathan held her back, barely struggling as he pushed be back to a more appropriate distance. Her face contorted to that of a true warrior capable of brutal, horrific things.
