Hidden lust

Chapter 16

We didn't end up having a tutoring session, she was still upset about something so I cancelled it and told her to go home. I just hope she turns up today or I don't know what I'll do. I also have to stay on Nichkhun's good side...don't ask why, I just feel I need him. 
My car wouldn't fucking start again though, time to take it to the garage again. But I'd have to do so after school. I called Jessica to give me a lift and thankfully she hadn't left yet so told me she'd come pick me up right away.

"Why was she crying?" She asked as she stopped at a red light.

"I don't know, I really have no idea. At one point she was trying to stop the fight, then she ran out crying."

"Hm" Jess thought for a moment "She's an odd one, very hard to work out"

"I know." I didn't know whether to tell her this but "Jess....I've been dreaming about her and I think if something doesn't happen soon I'm gonna go crazy" I admitted, it was true. Every night I had been waking up sweating after dreaming of me and her being....intimate. 

"God Tiff, you're in deep" Jess sighed. Yes, yes I know.

The rest of the ride was quiet. When we got out, we said our goodbyes and I started classes. I had Taeyeon at the end of the day with a tutoring session afterwards so that's all I looked forward to.

Each class droned on and on and I could hardly keep my eyes open. All that was keeping me awake was the thought of being with her and talking to her about what was wrong yesterday.

Lunch time approached, I sat down beside Jessica and looked around for my favourite teacher. I soon saw her and she glanced at my table. Before I could stop myself, I waved. Stupid Tiffany, stupid.

But she only went and waved back. Fuck yes! I turned to Jessica to celebrate but she wasn't paying attention. I looked back to Taeyeon to see her turn back around and then Nichkhun sat down. He gave me a peck on the lips and ruined my view of Taeyeon with his face.

"Are you busy tonight Tiff?"

"Yeah, I need to clean the house ready for my dad to come home soon" I sighed.

"Ah okay, no worries" he smiled. Okay who was he and what had he done with Nichkhun?

"I gotta go, I love you Tiffany" he smiled and kissed me before getting up.

I smiled and looked randomly to my right to see Taeyeon standing in front of the cutlery station near our table, but she wasn't moving. As soon as Khun left the table to go sit with his guy friends she frowned, bit her lip and dumped her tray full of uneaten food in the trash before leaving in a hurry.

Yeah I needed to find out what was wrong with her ASAP so I got up, said bye to Jess, bought a couple of sandwiches and some gummy sweets and followed her out the door.
I guessed she was going to her classroom so I approached the closed door and peeked through the glass window.

I saw her in her chair, head resting on her desk. I took a deep breath and knocked before entering.

"Hi" I smiled and she brought her head up.

"Hi, what are you doing here?" She asked surprised.

"Jess was being a stalker again and said she saw you leave looking sad so I figured I'd come see if you were okay" sorry Jess but I can't have her know my feelings, not yet.

"I'm fine Tiffany" she gave me a really fake smile which would reassure nobody.

I rolled my eyes and sat down opposite her desk. I then opened my bag and handed her a sandwich, she gave me a weird look.

"She said you threw away your food" I shrugged, hoping I wasn't being obvious.

"Should I be concerned about Jessica?" Taeyeon chuckled but opened the sandwich anyway and took a bite.

"Umm...maybe yeah. She has psychotic issues...."

I noticed Taeyeon stopped eating and her eyes had grown wide. I burst out laughing and she rolled her eyes in response.

"Very funny" 

"I thought it was" I said as I poked my tongue in my cheek, teasing her.

She smiled "Thanks for this" she said holding up her sandwich.

"Not a problem." Just when I was about to ask why she was upset she asked me a question.

"How's your relationship? That fight was pretty intense" 

She wanted to talk about Khun? I want to talk about you!

"Uh, we're okay. He scared me a little, he can be quite violent when he's angry." 

"I think he scared most the class. God if he had hurt y...." She immediately stopped what she was saying, looked up at me and bit her lip. "If he had hurt...anyone then he would've been suspended or even expelled, I hope he knows that"

"I'm sure he does. He gets so jealous over everything, I mean you heard him....Jess is my best friend and he thinks we're having some lesbian love affair like...come on" I scoffed

"Yeah...." She said rather awkwardly.

Okay...wasn't expecting that reaction, awkward silence much...

"Hey um, if you ever need to talk or rant to someone...I hope you know you can come to me right?" She asked, a shy smile on her face.

"Aw really? Thanks I'd appreciate it. I'm actually having a lot of problems right now" I said with a laugh which died down when I saw her grab a piece of paper and start writing on it. When she was done she handed it to me. "Whose number is this?"

"It's mine. If you need to talk about your problems out of school, don't hesitate to call or text me."

Okay, am I dreaming? Do I really have Kim Taeyeon's number in my hand?

"Wow, thank you. It means a lot" I gave an eyesmile and she smiled right back. "I'll ring you now so you'll have mine too. You know, just in case I text and you think it's some creeper." She laughed at that.

"Like Jessica" she sniggered, man she was cute.

"Like Jessica" I agreed. I took out my phone and saved the number under Taeyeon and I was so tempted to put a heart next to her name but that was suicidal. I phoned her and she took her vibrating phone out and saved my number too. We had fucking swapped numbers.

"Alright. I think it's best you finish your lunch Tiffany before class starts. Thank you for coming to keep me company" Taeyeon said before winking, hell yes.

"No problem, see you soon" I winked right back. That's right, I'm flirting with you.
