After You

Chapter Eight

I walked to my first period class actually making it on time for once.

"Ms.Evers nice of you to finally join us on time for once." The teacher said as he walked in right after the bell rang. What a hypocrite he was late himself yet the other day she was scolding me for being late.

"Well Class today we will be learning about dem...." And that's when I tuned out. I really didn't like math but it was a easy enough subject. I don't even know what math class this is all I know is it's some college level stuff.

I dozed off throw the lesson and woke up as soon as the bell rang. Second period was very uneventful. I think we where learning about some war or something like that. Finally 3rd period rolled around and Mr.Dover is my teacher. I ended up early to his class. Wow early to two classes in a row.

I walked in to see the door to his back room open. He was doing something back there because you could hear stuff being moved around. What the helk is he doing? I walked up to the closed door and opened it.

"Tess." He gasped when he saw me and rushed out of the room closing the door behind him. "Hello." He gave my a sheepish grin.

"Hi." I eyed the door to the back room curiously.

"I wasn't expecting you in here so early." He told me the grin still on his face.

"Obviously." I said in a bored voice.

"There's no class today." I cocked an eyebrow at him.

"And why not?" John doesn't normally cancel classes like that.

"Because you where coming 4th period but I'm glad you're here now." He motioned for me to come closer and I did. He gave me a kiss on the check. "S Dnem Pozhdeniya lyubit'." ......"Happy Birthday Love." Is what he said.

"When did you learn how to speak Russian?" I asked him. I was actually surprised.

"I've been practicing." He smiled down at me.

"Yeah I can tell." I told him noting that he said love perfectly.

"Come on then." He pulled me into the back room and I saw what he was doing. There was a table set up for two people, with candles and roses in the middle. There was also a bed with roses spread out on it.

I laughed. There is no way I'm using that bed today. Not with John. I've only slept with him once since Hayden and I broke up. Or well took a break. I don't know why he got so defensive over that earlier. It was just a small difference.

I have been thinking about making this break a break up. Don't get me wrong I love Hayden so much but I don't think I could be with him. It feels to right yet so wrong to be with him. I see the pain he's in since we took a break and I know it's because of me. I caused that and I hate myself for it. It seems like I keep hurting the people I love.

I've also though about getting back together with him and when I think about that I feel happy but something in the back of my mind tells me I shouldn't. So far I have ignored that voice. Like the voice that is telling me that I shouldn't be involved with John. I've been ignoring that voice too. All though I've been listening to that voice more than I had the one about Hayden.

He went to kiss me but I stepped back. Walking around the room, "You really didn't have to do this." I told him.

"Yes I did. I love you Tess." I froze in my tracks. He just told me he loved me. He's never told me that before. He wasn't supposed to love me, everything was supposed to be kept causal between us. We were supposed to be like friends with benefits. I should have know that it wouldn't have worked. Stupid, stupid me.
