Mr. Mendes

5

"Mr. Mendes you really didn't have to pay for the pizza my mom gave me enough money!" I told Mr. Mendes as he handed the pizza guy the money. "Yes, I did, so top complaining and for the final time when it is just us call me Shawn, Mr. Mendes makes me feel old." he said with a bright smile on his face. "But you are old" I uttered under my breath, Mr. Men- Shawn held his hand to his chest in mock offense "Hey I am not that much older than you!" He said with an adorable pout on his face. "Whatever helps you sleep at night Shawn." I said and then turned to realize he was grinning from ear to ear, "What are you smiling about?" I questioned, "You called me Shawn, I like it." He said grinning shyly and scratch the back of his neck, he looked like a three year old, and it was adorable. "Well, you kind of told me to so..." he smiled and nodded his head shyly, "I know, but I just like the way you said my name." He said nervously why was he so shy around me all of the sudden. "Oh... ok" I said turning my attention to the pizza that we had oddly forgotten about.
Forty-five minutes later me and Shawn were sitting next to each other on the couch with an empty pizza box on front of the coffee table watching some romcom that just came on the tv. We weren't cuddling but we were definitely close, our legs were touching as they both rested on the coffee table. I was getting pretty tired but I didn't want to fall asleep just yet cause I felt really comfortable just in the presence of Shawn, although soon enough my body gave in to the sleep and darkness took over my vision.
When I woke up it was dark outside and the tv had been turned off. I went to get up to go to the bathroom when I was stopped by an arm that was wrapped around my waist. I looked up to see Shawn holding me and nuzzling his face into my neck where I could feel his soft deep breathe. oh my god I'm cuddling my teacher. I tried so many times to get out of his grip but every time he would just pull me closer, if possible, until I finally gave up and shifted closer to him to get more comfortable. Soon sleep took over once again and I was out like a light.

Shawn's POV
I slowly opened my eyes, pulling myself out of my slumber. I felt oddly warm and incredibly comfortable, I looked down to see what pillow I was using and was shocked to see that I was holding Jessica. I must be dreaming again, I pinched myself on the wrist in hopes that it would wake me up from the heaven like trance I was in while holding Jessica. I didn't wake up, this was real, oh my god it's real, I couldn't help the involuntary flutter of my heart as I looked down at the beautiful girl in my arms. I tried so hard to stop the way that I felt, but I just couldn't, the way I felt when just simply looking at Jessica was enough to make me want to break any rule that was stopping us from being together. I tried to stay away, treat her like any other student, but when she walked into that classroom with Nate, I was absolutely enraged. Then, she comes down the stares in her bra, her bra. Do you have any idea how hard it was to control myself. If I've already been tempted in the first day, how in hell am I going to be able to resist her for two weeks. I shook the thoughts out of my head and just focused on her breathing. I have never felt such a strong urge to protect something in my life, when her mom told me that she would be leaving her alone for two weeks my mind went wild thinking of all the possible ways that she could get hurt in those two weeks and I immediately offered to watch her. It was only then that I realized that I would be alone with Jessica, the girl who put my moral into a whirlwind. The girl who makes me question every single relationship that I've been in. It's only been a week and I have fallen so hard, but I know that I would do anything for her, even if it meant risking everything. I had to know, I had to know what it felt like to wake up next to her, I had to know what it felt like to feel her lips on mine, I had to know what it felt like to call her mine, I just had to know. I sat there for a couple minutes just basking in the feeling of holding this beautiful girl in my arms. I knew I had to wait for her, and I would wait for years just to be able to call her mine. I didn't want to fall back asleep because I knew when she woke up, this moment would be over, and as much as I wanted to be able to pause time I couldn't, but I definitely could enjoy this precious moment when nothing else mattered but her, my girl.
