Opposites Attract (Student/Teacher Romance-Arranged Marriage)

chapter 22

The phone rang in the middle of the night. "Jeff. Answer the phone" I mumbled into the pillow.

"Mmm..." he reached over to the night stand on his side, where the phone was, and hit the speaker button. "Hello?" he answered, sleepily.

"Heeyyy Jeff"

I jumped up and turned on the lights. Jeff slowly rose up. "Ciara?". He asked, rubbing his eyes To get used to the light.

"Yeah, baby. It's me." she replied.

"Why are you calling so late?"

"I wanted to talk to my baby. I miss you."

I shot Jeff a look, telling him to get rid of her. "Ciara, there's NOTHING between us. I told you to stay away from me."

"But I am away from you. You never said I couldn't call you.". She giggled.

"It was implied." he said, raising his voice.

"Awww but Jeff, we could be so happy together. I can do more for you than that little girl can. Come over and I can show you what I can do." she replied, seductively.

"Ciara, leave me alone." Jeff authoritively told her, and then hung up. He sighed and fell back into his pillow. "Scar, I will never second guess your judgement again. Next time you say you don't like someone, I'll believe you."

Then the phone rang again. Jeff looked at me for permission to answer. "Check the caller ID this time."

He nodded and did. "It's Ciara again."

"Give me the phone." i snatched the phone out of his hands and answered it. "WHAT!?"

"Jeff wants me. He just doesn't know it yet."

"GO TO HELL!!". And then I threw the phone against the wall, breaking it to pieces, and leaving a visible mark on the wall. My breathing became heavier because I was so angry. Jeff wrapped me in his arms, hugging me tightly, trying to get me to calm down.

"Scar, what did she say?"

"She said that you want her. You just don't know it yet."

"You don't believe her, do you?"

"No, of course not. I'm just angry because she wants you."

"But she can't have me. I already belong to you." Jeff said sweetly.

Then the doorbell rang. I gave Jeff a knowing look. "Should we answer it?" i asked.

"I think we should. It might not even be her, Scar. It could be someone In trouble."

The doorbell rang repeatedly after that. I sighed. "Let's go."

We both went downstairs together. I stood behind Jeff when he answered the door. Ciara threw herself at Jeff. "Jeff, do you know what your mean wife said to me?"

"yes. I do know what she said to you." Jeff replied, aggravated.

"Well, aren't you gonna do something?" she asked, hoping Jeff would punish me.

Jeff took a deep breath and cracked his neck. "yes, Ciara. I am gonna do something. I'm gonna throw you out.". He pushed Ciara out the door, and closed the door, except Ciara stuck her foot in before the door could close, and she waltzed back in.

"Jeff, I think you might've confuse me for your wife."

"No, I didn't. I meant to throw you out.". Jeff said, wrapping his arm around my waist, and pulling me close to him.

Ciara stamped her foot. "But Jeff! I could be a much better wife than that child! I love you! Think about it!! If you never met that tramp, we would be married right now."

That did it. I ripped myself away from Jeff and pushed Ciara against the wall with full force. " LISTEN TO ME! YOU STAY AWAY FROM ME, MY HUSBAND , AND THIS HOUSE!! DO NOT EVER CALL HERE AGAIN BECAUSE IF YOU DO, I WILL DO A LOT OF DAMAGE TO THAT UGLY FACE OF YOURS!"

"Jeff! Help me!". She begged. "Jeff!!!! Please!!"

"Sorry Ciara. Actually, I'm not sorry. I agree with my wife." he said nonchalantly.

"Jeff! I love you!"

Then I slapped her. She screamed and fell to the floor. "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE NOW!!!". I shouted at her.

"Jeff, did you see what she just did?!"

"I'll do more than than that if you don't leave right now!!!!!!" I threatened.

Ciara scrambled out the door in terror, and I slammed the door closed behind her and locked it. Jeff came up behind me, wrapped his arms around my neck and gave me little kisses on my neck. "That was the most epic thing I've ever seen"

"You'll beg to differ if she comes near you again."

I felt him smile. "Come on. Let's go back to bed. I'm gonna take you out tomorrow as a reward for getting rid of her."

"Take me where?" I asked, starting to calm down.

"New York City. We'll see everything there is to see there, and we'll even stay over night so you can see the city at the brightest and liveliest.". Jeff picked me up bridal style and started carrying me up the stairs. "I'll take you to a broadway show, Times Square, the empire state building, the statue of liberty, the fashion district, all the designer stores, central park, the museum of modern art, the museum of natural history, we'll go on a picnic in riverside park...you're gonna love it Scar.".

"It's impossible to do all that in one day." I chuckled.

"Then we'll stay a week. I want to do everything with you, Scar. Anything and everything only with you."
