Deeply In Love (gxg)

Chapter II - Concern

I could hear conversations but I couldn't understand what they are saying so I tried to open my eyes and get up. Dizziness shot through me and I have no choice but to lie down again.

"She's awake!" I finally manage to comprehend.

I tightly close my eyes hoping it will vanish the dizzy sensation but it didn't. I am getting frustrated.

"How are you feeling?" I guess that's the nurse.

"My head is throbbing. So dizzy." I mutter under my breath.

"It's already 5:00, I don't think she can drive home." The nurse spoke and I'm sure she's not talking to me.

"Don't worry, I'm really planning to give her a ride if that's okay."

My eyes opened automatically to find the owner of that dazzling voice. There she was standing in front of my bed with her poker face.

"Carmina." I mumbled and I saw her frowned. Ugh. Why did I even say the name of the woman in my dreams?

The nurse helped me to get up and Ms. Villanueva held me. My eyes find its way to her and she took my breath away. I was trembling and I couldn't take a step.

"C' mon Carla, we could use some help. Start walking." Ms. Villanueva uttered and I almost faint again because of her voice. It tickles the side of my neck because she's damn near and the fact that she's holding both my arms, almost hugging my back is too much for me to take.

"I'm sorry." I voiced out and the nurse let us go. She guides me towards the school parking but we are walking in a different way, which is the teacher's parking lot so I stopped.

"M-Ms. Villanueva, my car isn't parked here." I stood straight removing her soft hands from mine. I stumbled but she managed to catch me just in time.

"I'm not letting you go, just hold unto me." She said with her serious expression. My heart is beating so fast though I know there's no pun intended on what she said.  "I'm giving you a ride." She's too near and I could feel her breath, I shiver.

"You don't have to, besides why do you care?"

She stared at me for a moment then spoke, "You collapsed during my class, you are my responsibility. If this happened to any of your classmates, I will do the same thing."

I studied her features wondering if she's telling the truth but I couldn't read her. "But I'm not a normal student, I am a trouble one."

She became silent but still replied. "So? What's the difference?"

I sighed in defeat and just let her drag me to her car. She opened the car door for me and fastened my seatbelt, our face almost touching before she proceeds to the driver seat. How can you expect me to react? I was frozen in my seat. Her perfume lingers inside the car and I closed my eyes enjoying the moment.

This feels so surreal. Imagine, 8 years of dreaming about the same mysterious woman and now meeting her and I am with her. Wow. Just wow. Too much had happened today but I just found myself drifting to sleep again. I hope she'll find the way home. I smirked at that.

I woke up with someone tapping my face. I opened my eyes and I automatically smiled. "Carmina" I mumbled still sleepy.

The goddess in front of me frowned and looked puzzled. "Carla, you have to wake up, we reached your home."

I straightened and I come into senses. Here's Ms. Villanueva and she's too near. She's phenomenal. "Get up. Do you want me to accompany you toward your house?" She asked sounded innocent about the fact that we are so close right now.
