To Be Loved (Teacher/Student)

Chapter 15

Jessie’s POV

I heard a toilet flush in the connected bathroom and the sound of the faucet running followed by Andrew with sweatpants and no shirt on.

I blushed and turned my head to the side. He must have noticed because he was over my bedside in flash.

“Are you OK Jessie?” Confused, I raised my eyebrow and thought for a second. Was I OK? What would be wrong with me? Why is this not my bed? Where is James?

“U-uh-um, yeah I’m fine. Where is James?”

“He’s fine.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah, he’s downstairs with Austin eating breakfast. Is there anything else you need? I really wish I could stay but I have to get ready for work.”

“I don’t really need anything but I would like to know one thing.”

He walked over to his closet and started gathering his clothes for the day.

“How did I get these clothes on?” When I got finished asking the question, I heard a crash and the sound of someone falling.

I ran over to where the sound came from and seen Andrew on the ground surrounded by a box of clothes that spilled out. “Are YOU OK?” I emphasized the you, echoing what he asked me earlier.

“I’m OK, your question just caught me off guard as you can see.” He stood up, gathered himself together and picked the box up. “Look I didn’t mean anything by it and I didn’t look at anything, but I was the one who changed you into my shirt.”

He blushed and for once I wanted to call him out on it but decided against it. “It’s alright, as long as you didn’t do anything I’m fine with it.”

He stared at me with his too blue eyes and I felt like I was swimming in them. I could get lost in them forever and wouldn’t even care.

He cleared his throat, “look I’m really concerned for you right now and the last thing I want to do is go to work and be away from you but promise me you won’t do anything you will regret while I’m gone.” He had bags under his eyes and looked extremely tired.

Staring in his eyes there was nothing I can do but comply. “I promise you I won’t do anything I’ll regret.”

“Alright! Now if you don’t excuse me, I have get ready for work. Off you go!” He turned me around by my shoulders and pushed me out of his closet and room.

“But I was just wondering-” I was cut off by the door slamming in my face. “Jerk!” I turned around and went downstairs going to find something to eat.

“Ah, she awakens!” Austin got up and came over and buried my head in his chest.

“Get off of me you skinny bear.” I pushed him away and walked towards the figure who was sitting on the couch too absorbed in the TV to realize that I walked into the room.

“Jerk!” I laughed at the fact that I said that not a minute earlier.

I crept up behind James and was an inch from scaring him when he turned around and yelled “BOO!” He had on a scary clown mask on.

“AHH!” I jumped and immediately put my hand over my heart, “You scared the crap out of me James, and where did you get that mask?”

“That wass the point, DUH! I got it from Austin.” I stuck my tongue out at him and plopped on the couch.

“Of course you got it from Austin.”

To the left of me I noticed a small kitten come up to my leg and start to rub against it.
