Crushing on Miss Grayson

Chapter 7

It's Thursday. I haven't been to Uni in a few days but I've been studying from home. It's not because I don't want to see Harper because I don't care if I see her or not, I just haven't been bothered really. I love being in my own space and studying in my own time. Lauren didn't go Monday or Tuesday because she saw her family and Eric. Those two are starting to get really close now. I think the term is "seeing each other" because they aren't officially in a relationship but they basically are? Whilst working on my MacBook I received an email.
Hope you're coming in this afternoon for your tutor lesson.
- Harper Grayson
I replied;
See you there Miss Grayson.
I definitely forgot about the lesson so I better go to it.

The lecture was just about to start. I walked in there just in time. Harper gave me a look to say, you're lucky you showed up. I took a seat next to Lauren.
"Didn't think you were going to come" She whispered
"I wasn't going to but I have a tutor lesson today and she'll get pissed if I didn't come" I stated
"Have you even seen her since last Friday?" She asked, I shook my head.
I sat, listened and worked throughout this shitty lecture. I was so tired, I actually thought I was going to go to sleep.
Luckily the lecture was over but unfortunately for me I have to stay for tute.
"Don't get too handsy" Lauren winked
"Pffft barely" I replied.
I sat next to Harper.
"Miss Grayson" I nod my head
"Miss Moore" She replied
"You weren't at Uni earlier this week?" She added
"Naw, did you miss me?" I replied
"You're being too kind on yourself. No, I just happened to check the roll today and I saw you were absent" She explained
"I doubt it. You definitely noticed me gone" I smiled
"This will probably be our last tutor session so make it count. By the end of this tute you might actually be in front of most students" She explained, hmmm "make it count" what's that suppose to mean?
"I'm glad!" I replied
"I bet you are. Don't have to put up with my wining much longer" She stated
"You're a good teacher, I've learnt a lot" I replied
"I'm a lecturer, not a teacher remember" She stated
"Well actually right now you're my tutor and I think you fit the part well" I smiled
"You think I'm a good tutor?" She asked
"Definitely" I replied
"You just think that because I chat to you and no one else does" She joked
"Oooh Miss Grayson made a joke, you must've had humour in your cereal today" I winked
"You're just... So quick witted aren't you" She replied, scrunching up her face a little. I could tell she wanted to smile but obviously didn't want to let her guard down.
Half an hour later and we smashed out some work and didn't talk too much. I think I can sort of push her buttons, I know her well enough now that one of her weaknesses is compliments. So I want to test the waters a little.
"Thankyou" I looked at her
"For what?" She replied
"For being a good tutor. I really appreciate you taking time out of your day to help me and now I'm in front... It just means a lot" I smiled, she looked hesistant of my comment but happy.
"You're very welcome. I want nothing but success for you Kaede. You're so bright, you just hold yourself back sometimes" She replied. Wow maybe I'm the sucker for compliments. No. I'm not letting her have the last word.
"We've had some good and interesting conversations at times" I said
"I've probably told you things I haven't told anyone else" I added
"Like what?" She replied, crossing her arms. Oooh she might be onto me.
"Well I can't remember right now but I feel comfortable talking to you. I don't like talking to people..." I stated
"What do you mean? You're always with girls. How could you not talk to them?" She asked
"I resolve to other things..." I replied, she then caught on.
"So you don't really talk to them you just..." She looked at me...
"It's just me. It's what I do best and girls like me for it. Except sometimes they like me a little too much and then they can't handle the fact that I don't like them that way so they end up hating me" I explained
"Like Bella?" She asked
"Like Bella" I replied. She stood up and went over to her desk drawers. She bent over a little and I just couldn't help myself but to look at her ass. She was wearing that tight black skirt with those black heels. She turned around and I shifted in my seat, looked at her and smiled like I wasn't just starring at her ass.
"You just can't help yourself can you" She stated, oh fuck...
"Hm?" I mumbled, acting dumb
"I know exactly where you were looking" She stated, I shrugged my shoulders still acting dumb. She walked over to me, my heart beat picked up a little. She grabbed the sides of my chair and leaned over me, her face close to mine. I really, really wanted to kiss her. I looked at her lips back to her eyes.
"I wasn't looking at anything?" I shrugged trying to act cool but I was struggling. She bent down a little further, I could almost see down her shirt. Her face closer to mine.
"Hmmm..." She raised one eyebrow. I swallowed and slowly moved my hand. My fingers slightly skimming her knee. I was aching to touch her. I slowly went to grab her leg, her eyes still on mine. Even though she was acting all tough and boss-like, I knew she was extremely nervous. My hand is now on the back of her leg. She was looking at my lips. Was that an indication? I lifted my head a little closer to hers... She suddenly stood up and started gathering her things together. My heart felt like is was going to jump out of my chest in excitement.
"I'll see you in tomorrow's lecture!" She stated as she pointed me the way out. I stood, adjusted myself, grabbed my things and quickly walked out. As soon as I got around the corner I stood against the wall. Fuck. What was that!? My heart is still beating fast and my adrenalin was high. She likes me! I knew it!! Why did she stop? Is it because we are at Uni? I wasn't too sure but I know she wanted to kiss me as much as I wanted to kiss her. I then saw her walk past me, she didn't notice me. She looked too flustered. She kept straightening her skirt and fixing her hair as she was walking. Wow she really is so beautiful. I then started to walk home. On the way I was replaying what happened in the lecture room. How she bent over to my level, her slightly unbuttoned shirt, her ass, her perfume, when I touched her leg. I was so turned on and I couldn't do anything about it!

I spent the rest of the night trying to distract myself from what happened today. I also didn't tell Kate and Lauren about what happened. I don't know why? Considering I've been trying to get them to see that she flirts with me but now that she actually is, I guess I don't know if I should tell them? Should I go to Uni tomorrow or should I skip it and just go Monday? I was laying in my bed looking at her profile on Facebook, contemplating if I should add her or not. I wanted to talk to her. Wait! I know how I can talk to her. I can email her.
Since I'm ahead now, does that mean I can stay home tomorrow? I'll do just as much work... I promise!
She replied about ten minutes later.
Completely up to you.
Damn... Not the reply I was hoping for. I am lost for words when I talk to her. I never know what to say.
I suppose I'll come in. I replied. Ugh, this was so frustrating. I'm usually so confident and know exactly what to say and do but when it comes to Harper. It's like she takes all that away from me, almost like a confidence killer. I'm going to remain strong though, I can crack this and get to her. Just have to be more confident.
