Gym Class Love [Book 1]

We're Headed For A H-H-Heartbreak

Mr. Dobson's P.O.V

I couldn't believe the shit that was coming out of his mouth. I currently was standing in front of the man I loved. Well, I wasn't so sure any more. He was pouring his heart out to me about a kiss he had shared with Jesse Young. I at first wasn't mad at him until he told me he basically cheated! He kissed that little son of a bitch. I was beyond pissed, but years of serving in the military did teach me one thing: patience. "I'm so sorry! It just happened I don't know why and I'm just sorry!" he had been apologizing to me for the length of the conversation. I knew that he was sorry but a part of me couldn't get past it. "Look, I have to think things through, ok. I'll talk to you later."I said grabbing my keys. It was dark outside and more than a little chilly. Chris didn't physically try to stop me from leaving but I could hear him scream my name from his apartment as I pulled out of his drive. I had no idea where to go. If I went home I'd wallow in self pity and if I went out I'd do something I'd regret. I settled on just driving for as long as I needed to clear my head of kisses and gym teachers.

--------------1 month later-------------------------------------------------------------

It had been a month since Chris and I talked about that damn kiss. I have to say I took the easy way out. He tried calling that whole week and I ignored every single one of them. The next week when school was in session I avoided him in the halls and kept my classes away from his. I arrived late and left early. I know, I know. I'm a coward. Actually, I just really don't want to say what I'm going to say. It was a just a kiss, sure, but the way his eyes lit up when he was talking about it. He had the same look in his eyes then that he did when we first kissed. Love. I wiped a tear from my eye as I drove. When I reached school, I saw that my new parking space was still open. I gave up on the other one letting Phil just have the damn thing. I walked swiftly to the gym and saw my students waiting. One kid called out a greeting to me, I just waved. I had other things to attend to. I walked over to Mr. Way and grabbed his arm. "We need to talk about an error in our lesson plans right now." and I pulled him down the long hallway that adjoined the field house. "Dobson, I thought you were never going to talk to me again!" he said and immediately tried to hug me. The look of hurt on his face when I pushed him away hurt me so much, I almost abandoned my mission. I moved to the opposite side of the hallway and turned my back to him trying to steel myself for the words I was about to say.
