My teacher's obsession // S.M + C.C

15

the next day •••
"Camila", Noah skates towards me as I pen down the order of the last customer in our café

"Your order will be here in a couple minutes", I skate inside giving the chef the order

The owner of the cafe decided to jazz up the daily interactions and make them more exciting by having the bright idea of adding the skates

"What?", I remove my skates after giving the order

"Your date is in almost an hour", he says in one breath

"It's not a date", I roll my eyes

"Whatever but you're going out with a guy, kitty, it's been so long", he responds

"I go out with you all the time", I laugh

"But this is different! You're so stubborn", he sighs

"I know I know", I laugh "Anyway I'm not planning to overdo anything, I'll keep this simple", I remove the apron placing it in it's original spot

"Let's go", we walk outside the kitchen turning the lights off when we see a tall figure facing his back towards us

"Sorry sir, but the café has been shut for the day", I try to grasp the attention of the figure as he turns around

"Shawn?", I gasp

"I'll give you two a minute", Noah walks outside the café

"You're going on a date with him, aren't you?", he says in a rather serious tone

"It's not a date", I respond tapping my feet impatiently

"You shouldn't trust him", he glares at me which catches me by surprise

"I don't, yet.. he just wanted to talk", I respond trying my hardest to be calm

"He just wants to get in your pants Camila, that's all", he gets frustrated

"Well, I won't let him. I can take care of myself", I roll my eyes

"We all saw how that went last time", he laughs with disgust

"Excuse me? Are you always going to hold that against me?", I fight back the tears as the memories from that night rush in

"No, I'm just worried. Guys like him aren't mean to be trusted, Mila", he steps further as I step back

"How would you know?", I push

"Because I used to be one them Camila", he says much louder than I expected

"Shawn, I respect your concern for me but I'll be fine", I smile

"Goddamit Camila, you never listen", and with the sudden outburst he storms outside the café leaving me in utter shock

I take a few seconds to recover and head outside turning the lights off and locking the door

"You okay?", Noah places his arm around my shoulder as I nod heading home

"I'm not wearing that", I yell

"Camila you're not going out in sweats", Noah face palms

"What's wrong with this?", I pout

"This isn't something you wear on a d-", I interrupt him by throwing the pillow on his face

"It's not a date", I yell

"Anyway, I'll change into some jeans and a sweater", I grab the clothes from my closet and wear them

"So much better. WOW", Noah gasps

"Thanks", I smile

A couple knocks were heard downstairs

"He's here", Noah squeals

My mother has taken the job of an air hostess and is barely home anymore which is good and my dad hasn't returned home since the day he left a couple weeks ago

I rush downstairs to meet with the tall tan figure leaning against the door

"You look beautiful", he smiles as I blush

"Thank you, so do you", I respond mentally face palming myself

"I mean handsome", I awkwardly laugh it off

"Bye Noah", I say as we head to the movies

We saw an action movie which was actually pretty good, Cameron and I had a talk about that night where he sincerely apologized. He seemed very sweet.

"Can I walk you to your door?", he smiles as we get out of the car causing me to nod

"Today was nice", I smiled

"Yeah, we should do this again sometime", he intertwines his hand with mine

I was a little surprised but didn't pull back

"Soo", we both said at the same time as we stood by the door

"This is the part where I kiss you", he laughs

"Where'd you get that from?", I laughed back

"Books, romcoms", he scratches the back of his neck

"Then kiss me", I blush

Oh no. Why'd I say that.

He leaned in and pressed his lips against mine this time it wasn't the fusion of alcohol and mint but just mint. Our lips moved in sink but somehow I was thinking about Shawn while we shared this intimate moment

"I'll see you then", he pecked my lips one last time

I nod waving as he gets into his car and turning around getting into my house to see Noah with his arms crossed

"OH MY GOD", he squeals

"What?", I respond confused

"You two just kissed, oh my god", he paces around and I blush
