BARE SOULS: A STEAMY TEACHER/STUDENT ROMANCE

CHAPTER 7 | HARPER

That must have been the most embarrassing moment of my life. I had never felt that awkward before. That moment you realized the guy that heard you cum on the phone the night before was actually your English teacher. That moment should never happen in anyone's life.

I wanted to pretend as if it never happened. But of course it couldn't be because it did happen. For the whole hour, I was unable to focus on the quizz. All I could think of was the pressure of his gaze on me. I pretended like I didn't notice his glances all the time. But I could feel them.

He was probably thinking about how to get out of this ridiculous situation. He was probably worried I would tell anyone. And I was hoping he would forget about it all. How humiliating!

When he called my name while I was about to leave, my whole body froze. Not because he startled me. Of course not. I was expecting him to call me out when everyone would have left. I froze because the tone of his voice sounded the same that the voice that drove me crazy over the phone the night before. And I felt a tingling feeling in my stomach.

He said everything I was expecting him to say. He apologize, asked me not to tell anyone and that was fine. He said exactly what he should have said. But the more he was talking, the more I was drawn to that sexy deep voice of his. And for a minute, I got lost. I remembered his naughty talk and how he begged for me to come and for a split second, I wished I never found out who he was. His playful smile and the way his eyes wandered across my body without himself noticing were incredibly attractive. As much as I hated to admitted, Mariann was right. He was hot. Extremely hot. And for a few hours, I was lucky enough to feel these beautiful hands on me.

I quickly got back to my senses when he moved away from me. That's when I realized that he might have regretted this whole misfortune even more than me.

I was having a terrible day. Levyn wanted a break and I was sharing most of my schedule with him. Cherry on the top, the guy I nearly-but-not-really cheated on my boyfriend with was my English teacher. How worse could it be?

Well... It could get worse and it did get worse. And I had Mariann to thank for that.

See, Mariann always wanted to date Levyn. Not fuck, but date. He never showed her any interest but somehow she kept sticking to him like a goddamn post-it.

All day long, I had to endure seeing the two of them like they were besties. And I couldn't say shit. Levyn avoided me all day. He never once looked my way. After that little chat in the morning, he acted like we actually already split up.

"What does he mean by 'a break'? It's either you guys stay together, or you guys split!" Candace got angry after I reported the content of my conversation with Levyn. She came to my house after school to cheer me up a bit.

"I guess it's like a breakup rehersal before the Grand Breakup." I admitted, defeated, wiping off the remaining tears I had left.

"Well, fuck him! He doesn't deserve your tears and you deserve better. I suggest you call that phone sex guy and forget L, even if it's for one night"

"It's not that easy!"

"Oh come on! I'm pretty sure you were not thinking of L when that guy talked dirty to you. Am I right?"

"Oh god! I should have told you!"

"Don't be such a goodie-goodie, Harp! It's ok to have fun!"

Well, it would have been ok if I was not in love with Levyn and if Zane was not Mr. Jackson, my English teacher. But I definitely couldn't tell her that part. As sure I was she would never told anyone, I couldn't take that chance. I wouldn't have wanted to cause him any sort of trouble. I was the sole responsible for what happened.
