It's All About Us

Chapter Four

Perrie's POV

When I get home I unlock the door and tidy up a bit. I've decided to have Jade work on her project a little today then over the weekend I'm going to ask her if she could help me with the guest rooms.

It's not long before there's a knock at the door, I quickly rush over to it. Definitely not because I'm in love with my student or anything... okay but that's beside the point.

Once I open the door I see Jade carrying bag with some clothes. I step out of the way so she can walk in, which she does after looking me up and down, what's that about?

"Alright Jade, you may or may not hate me after this.." I start. "Oh I could never. What is it?" She asks me. "Alright I've changed the lesson plans up a bit.. I'm giving you more time to finish the project, so I expect you to read the book" I tell her. She throws her head back groaning. "Nnooo! I don't want to read the stupid book" she complains. I walk over and rest my hand on her shoulder, "I know hun, but I forgot about the test the school gives after the term is over. There's a lot of questions about the book" I inform her. "I don't care about the damn test" she falls on the couch dramatically. "Jade if you don't do it you'll fail. You're doing it and that's that!" I tell her. She seems taken aback by my tone. "Ffiiinnneeee" she drags out.

"Thank you. Would you like me to cook or order something?" I ask her. "I don't care." She says pulling the book out. "Alright I'll order take away. I don't feel like cooking. What do you want?" I ask, She shrugs telling me it doesn't matter. I decide on some pizza, can't go wrong with that!

  Once I order I walk back into the living room where Jade is and see her on her phone. "Jade, please I don't want you to fail" I try to reason with her. "Just change my score" she jokes. "I'm not about to do that" I tell her. "I just got my job, I'm not going to lose it either." I go on to say. She throws her head back for the millionth time and groans. "I don't want to" I roll my eyes and sit beside her.

  I take the book from out of her hand and she looks at me strange. "What's so wrong with doing what you're told?" I question her. She shrugs her shoulder and cowards away from my intense gaze. "Look at me" I tell her. "No" is my response. I take her chin in my hand and make her face me. "Jade, I'm trying to help you. But in order to do that, you need to listen to me. I am your teacher, but I also consider  you a friend; I'm not about to see you fail. You will listen, and you will cooperate, understood?" I tell her. She shyly nods her head looking Into my eyes, I've just found my new favorite color.

  "I'll let you get away with it now, but nodding your head is not enough. Speak to me, I love your voice" I say to the gorgeous brunette. I see her cheeks turn a light pink shade, I smile at thought of me making her blush. She gets even more embarrassed and leans into me and hides her face in my chest. I wrap my arms around her, I wish we could do more than just this..

  "Perrie.. will we get in trouble?" She asks me in a whisper. "Shh love, don't worry. It's all about us." I rub her back and she relaxes into my touch. "It's all about us?" I kiss her forehead to confirm it. "Yeah" I say after a long pause.

I lead her over to the couch and give her the book back, "oh come on! You're really going to make me do this, we aren't even at school!" She exclaims throwing the book. I roll my eyes and go pick it up. "I thought I made it clear, you will be doing this project Jade! Don't make me have to forcefully make you!" I warn her in a firm tone. "I don't give a damn!" She tries to walk out. "No! You will sit here and do it! I'll even read the book to you if I have to, I will sit right beside you and monitor your every move! I'm trying to let you do it on your own, but if you can't do it like the adult you should be, I'll have to make you!" I pull her back towards the couch. "Sit down! Now!" I order. She looks at me and I can see she's intimidated, so she sits down immediately. "Good. Now I'm going to clean up a bit in the kitchen, if I come back and you're not doing your work. You will not be too happy. Am I understood?" I ask. "Y-Yes Miss. Edwards" she mumbled. "Thank you" and I walk into the kitchen.
