Mr. Schmidt

Chapter 18

Enjoy.

Katelyn POV

I was looking through papers for the upcoming fashion show. I was making sure everything was in order and which collections would come out first. I had been taking extra time at work, trying to get my mind off of what happened a week ago with Kendall.

I was still pretty upset that he didn't want to celebrate our moments together as frequently as I do. I may have overreacted a little bit, but the anniversaries we would have meant the world to me. I love every moment that I was with him and I wanted to celebrate those moments. I guess he didn't feel that way.

Often, I would see him getting the mail every morning, but he never once looked my way. Ever. We haven't called each other in a whole week. I saw him when I was picking up Kaylie and I knew he saw me, he just never looked my way. I was distancing myself from him, but he wasn't even taking a glance in my direction.

Was he mad at me as well? Did he not want to be with me anymore? I still want to be with him, but I don't know if I can see past him not having an anniversary every month, let alone him saying our anniversaries meant nothing. I don't know which one of us was going to make the first move.

I would want to talk eventually, I wouldn't just want to have this silent treatment thing between us forever, then that would mean it's really over for us. Maybe I should go talk to him. Maybe he hasn't talked to me because he doesn't know how, or he's afraid. He says this is his first real relationship, maybe I shouldn't be so hard on him.

I sighed to myself, I'll just talk to him myself. I looked at the time, it was 4:00pm. I had to go and get Kaylie, but I doubt he would be there this late. He basically leaves the same time as his students. I put everything back into my folders and began to leave the building. I was going to go and talk to him before I went and signed Kaylie out.

Eventually, I pulled up into the parking lot of the school. I was stalling because I was afraid of this myself. What if he didn't want me to talk to him? I watched parents pick up their kids and drive off, trying to waste time. I scolded myself and got out of the car. I went up to the front door and went in.

I waved at the secretary. She seemed like that's all she did all day, everyday, even when everyone went home. I went up to the second floor and went to the end of the hallway, where Kendall's classroom was. He wanted the room with the view he told me. I stopped before I hit the open doorway to his classroom and gained my composure.

He was indeed here because his door was open, which he always locks it. I slowly put one foot in front of the other and walked in. There he was playing on his phone at his desk. He didn't notice me. I closed my eyes and sighed a bit.

"Kendall." His head snapped up and his eyes widened a little. He put his phone down the desk and sat up.

"Oh, I wasn't expecting you." I nodded slowly.

"I wasn't expecting myself to be here either." He crossed his arms.

"So why are you here?" I sat in the chair in front of his desk.

"To see how you are, we haven't talked in a week." He shrugged and stared at his desk blankly.

"Does it matter to you?" I was taken back a bit. He didn't think I cared anymore.

"Of course it does." He looked up, then looked at his hands, fiddling with them.

"I thought we were over..." He said lowly. So he did think that I dumped him. I mean, I didn't think that I dumped him. I was just really pissed at him.

"We're not over." He looked up and there was glint in his eye. Like I had just relieved him of all his worries.

"Really?" I smiled slightly and nodded. He leaned forward on his desk, resting on his elbows. "I'm sorry if I upset you. I just...this is my first real relationship and I'm trying so hard not to fuck up, but...I end up doing that anyway..." I grabbed his hand and he looked up at me.

"You're doing just fine. You're a great person. I love you." I did not expect to say that today. It just sort of slipped out. My heart was beating fast as it just came out my mouth so casually with no thought about it before. He gave me a serious look.

"You love me?" I really did love Kendall, I just thought everything about him was perfect. It just seems like we're opposites. He's not for surprises, I'm all for surprises. He was quiet, I would just be able to strike up a conversation with anyone.

"You don't have to say it back..." I looked at him.

"I love you." He said. "I mean that too. I love everything that...you...do for...yourself. I'm not very good at expressing it, but I really do love you." I chuckled.

"I know, you're not much of an expresser..." He got up and I looked at him very confused. He came around the desk and bent down to kiss me passionately on the lips. I grabbed his face and brought him as close as possible.

Before I knew it, his shirt was off and I was on his desk with him hugging and kissing me close. A few minutes later, I stopped him. "We probably shouldn't be doing this where you work." He shrugged and kissed me even more. I pushed him gently and he groaned. "Uh, we are not doing this where you work Kendall."

"I want so badly for Ms. Kelly to walk in here. Her face would be priceless."
