My Teacher Boyfriend

Chapter Sixteen

We got back to campus really early so that no one would see us. He woke me up at 4 this morning so I was really tired. I also drove half the way back so that he wouldn't fall asleep while driving and kill us.

I opened my apartment and dropped my stuff. I made my way to my room and dropped down on my bed. Jay followed me and sat next to me. "Wan't me to make you some coffee" he asked.
"Please" I said smiling up at him.

While he was gone I got a call from Chris.

"Hey" I said answering the phone
"Hey, Happy belated Thanksgiving" he said. I laughed.
"Um thanks"
"I would of said it yesterday but I had a lot going on" he said
"Tell Mama Jess" I said.
He laughed. "Well Chanel wanted me to spend thanksgiving with her family but I said no because my family invited me over. I knew she was a little bad but I didn't want to leave my family, even though their dysfunctional"

"So what happened?" i asked.
"I flew out to San Francisco and when I got there, they weren't home. I found out from a neighbor they went to the Bahamas for Thanksgiving. My own damn family forgot I was coming. I hate them Jess" he said. I could hear how hurt he was.

"Wow, I'm so sorry" was all I could say.
"I could of been with my girlfriend." He said.
"So where did you go?" i asked.
"I stayed at a motel room. Now I'm at the airport" he said.

I felt terrible for him. "Did you speak to Chanel?" i asked.
"No, I didn't want to upset her vacation" he said.
"Oh" I said.
"How was your thanksgiving" he asked.
"Well I uh just took Jay to meet my family" I said. I know I shouldn't have been telling him about Jay but I needed to tell someone. He didn't know who Jay was so what was the harm?

"What" he yelled through the phone. I laughed. "Did they like him?" He asked.

"Yea they invited him to their wedding" I said. "Damn, thats awesome" he said.
"I know" he I said.
"Well at least someone had a good thanksgiving" he said.
"Hey how about when you get home, you come over and we have our own thanksgiving" I said.

"You sure?" He asked.
"Yea. I'm not busy" I said.
"That's great" he said.

"Next Flight to JFK will be leaving in 30 minutes" i heard through the phone.

"I gotta go Jess, see you later" he said.
"Bye" he said. As on cue Jay entered with my coffee. I took the cup and began walking to the kitchen.

"Wait I thought you were tired?" He said following me. "I really am but I need to cook" I said.

"Cook for what?" He asked sitting on my counter as I looked up recipes on my phone.
"Chris" I answered. "He had a terrible thanksgiving so I invited him over. I felt really bad. Can you help me ?" I asked.

"Your asking your boyfriend to help you cook for another guy?" He said confused. I rolled my eyes. "Forget I asked" I said agitated. "Fine I'll help" he said. "No. I can do it alone" I said.
"You can go. I work better alone" I said.

I had to go to the store because I realized I had nothing in my apartment. I baked cookies and made mashed potatoes. The chicken was currently in the oven and I was sweating. It said to leave it in there for 5 hours, i think. I was making mac and cheese when someone knocked the door.

I ran to open it and it was Chris. "Hey" I said giving him a hug. "I smell something burning" he said. "Burning?" I said confused. Then I remembered the chicken. I ran to the oven and pulled it out. It was mostly burnt.

"I'm so sorry Chris. I was trying to make a big meal for us but of course I ruined it. I don't even understand why I was trying to cook." i said putting it in the sink.

"Its cool. I predicted you would either make a failed meal or not make anything at all so I bought this" he said holding up the bag from the lamb restaurant.

I smiled.

The macaroni and cheese was over cooked so we ended up only having lamb, salad, cookies and mashed potatoes. At least something came out right. We sat at the table in the kitchen.

"Should we say what we're thankful for?" I asked.
"Sure" I said.
"Ok i'm thankful for my friends here at college. Im thankful to be even be here. You and Chanel are the only people I have right now. Yesterday just proved that I can't depend on my family so, I am thankful for my girlfriend and my good friend Jess" he said. I smiled. What he said was so sweet but sad at the same time. What kind of family did that.

"I am thankful for my family, and my friends. My family, you, and Jay are the most important people in my life right now" I said.

"When am I ever going to meet this guy?" He asked. "Your family met him, so when is it my turn?" He asked.

"Can we change the subject" I said looking down.
"Why don't you want me to meet him?" He asked.
"Chris" i said sternly.
"Jess tell me the truth" he said.

He was so stubborn.

"You can't meet him because you already have" I said. What was I doing?
"What?" He asked confused.
"Chris I'm dating Mr.Trask" I said. I regretted the words as soon as they left my mouth. What the hell had I just done.

" OH SHIT" he said. "I did not see that coming. What the hell. Jess and a teacher. Damn. Woah. I can't believe this" he said.
"You don't have to keep going" I said.
"Jess. You and Mr.Trask date? Like a couple?" He asked.
"Yes" I replied.
"So Mr.Trask is Jay?" He asked.
"Yes" I said.
"Do you mind if I ask when did this happen?" He said.
"Around when school first started?" I answered.
"Wow" he said.
"I know its weird and wrong but please just don't tell anyone." i said.
"Did you hear anything I just said? I said I was thankful for you and your all I've got. Why would I ruin that and tell people that your the only girl that made it into Trask's pants" he said.

I laughed. I was very thankful for Chris.
