Mirthful Circumstances

4: i love you

“I'm sorry” I said while keeping my head low.

Kim looked at me with wide eyes, surprised. I almost scowled, did she really not expect me to apologize.

“I have found my soul mate, I love Joseph and I would do anything for him. He makes me the happiest person in the world…”

“Ok, stop rubbing it in.” she said with an angry tone.

I shook my head. “I wasn’t trying to gloat, what I was saying is that Joseph makes me happy. And I love you, like the sister I’ve always wanted. You deserve to be happy, so I won’t discourage your affection towards Landon. But I will say this…” I said while pulling her into a hug. “Be careful”

I glared at Paris who was standing next to her brother, entering josephs classroom, class was about to begin.

“I should get going, we have class.” I said while pulling away from her.

She was smiling. “Thanks Emma, this means a lot.” She said happily.

I smiled. “Go, you have a class to attend.”

She chuckled. And left. I put on a serious face as I walked into Joseph’s classroom.

“Oh Emma, Great to see you.” He said as soon as I entered class.

Paris was standing next to him with a scowl on her face.

I couldn’t help but smile. “Ok” I said while walking towards his desk. He had told me he was changing our seats in class today.

“Where do I sit?” I asked him politely.

He smiled. “Right there” he said while pointing to the desk closest to his desk.

I smiled “ok, thanks” I said before walking back to my desk.

“Why does she get to sit in the front of the class? Why can't I sit in the first seat?” she asked him with, what she might have considered a seductive tone.

“I’m sorry, but I’ve always seated everyone. It would be rude to change someone’s seat just because you feel like sitting in the front.” He said with a serious tone.

I smiled. Way to go Joseph.

“But...” she said while trailing her hand up his arm. “I’d rather sit in the front. And close to you.”

My smile immediately turned into a scowl and thoughts of murder popped into my mind.

I am going to kill her.

Hell no, she cannot do that and get away with it.

He turned to me with a serious look. On that read ‘don’t even think about it’

I continued to scowl, I probably shouldn’t have told him about the anger I felt towards all of the girls in the other school. And my impulse to murder every single one of them.

I put on a forced smile as I looked at him.

“I'm sorry, I am happily married and I'm sure my wife would not appreciate you touching me” Joseph said while moving away from her touch, but like a desperate pray, she just continued to go after him.

“But, Mr. Night. I'm sure I am much better than your wife.” She said with a cocky smile.

“Seriously, we are in class. Leave your stupid flirting until after class.” I responded before Joseph had a chance to reply.

She turned to me with a deathly glare. “I'm sorry; this is none of your fucking business.” She said with an angry tone.

I chuckled. “Actually, you’re making it the classes business by being so freaking loud. Now can you please leave him alone so that he can begin his lesson.” I answered while glaring at her.
