Me & My Teacher

Onika

"Ms. Knowles?" We heard. We turned our head and saw my math teacher Mrs. Williams.

"Uh hey Mrs. Williams." We said at the same time. She looked between the both if us suspiciously. "Where have y'all been and why in the world would you be all up on your teacher like that Ms. Maraj?" She asked me. I looked down nervously before speaking up. "Uh well I had some sort of... family issue-"

"Like what?" She said cutting me off. I just looked at Bey and she leaned down to my ear. "Just tell her, she not gone stop til she gets an answer." She said before coming back up giving me a reassuring back rub.

"Well if you must know, me and mother's houses were broken into and trashed and the person that did it took my mother with them. I told Ms. Knowles and she took me in. The day she did that, while I was unpacking, I got a call from officers saying that-" I choked trying keep back tears while Bey hugged me rubbing my back and I laid my head on her chest. "Saying that they found my mom beaten to death. She took time off with me to help me recover. I was just giving her hug thanking her for everything cause she didn't have to do what she did." I said full blown sobbing.

Bey just held me while I cried and I enjoyed it, happy I had someone who cared. I felt Mrs. Williams rub my shoulder. "Oh my Lord I'm so sorry. I'll tell you what, since you got all this going on I'll exempt you from everything you missed in class and catch you up after school and I'll tell your other teachers to do the same. I won't tell them what you told me because I know it's sensitive information but I'll tell them there's a pretty doggone good reason as to why they need to do it. Is that ok?" She asked as I tried to catch my breath. I nodded and she gave me a sympathetic smile.

"You take good care of her ya hear?" She told Bey. I felt her nod against my head. "Hey let's go get some ice cream." She said to me barely audible. I smiled while nodding.

We walked to the car and she put the music on blast while she took the top off.

Nika looked a little shooken up from earlier so I decided to take her to her favorite ice cream place while blasting her favorite songs with the top down.

When we pulled up, I saw the goofiest smile spread across her face. That made me smile. I let the top back up and turned off the car. "Well I see I made someone happy." I said giggling. Luckily all our windows including the windshield were tinted black because she leaned over and kissed me. Passionately. On the lips. In public. Where anybody from school could possibly see.

"Ok ok calm down we in public." I said as she pulled away. "I could give two fucks." She said smiling. I smiled back shaking my head before getting out and helping Nika out. We went inside and ordered. We waited about 2 minutes before we got our ice cream. I paid and we sat down. As we ate our ice cream, I admired her features, every last one.

"You so beautiful you know that?" I asked her. She blushed and put her head down. I lifted it with my hand. "Aht aht no. Keep your head up. You're too gorgeous to do drop it." I said to her. She stared into my eyes before nodding. I let her face go continuing to admire her.

My thoughts were rudely interrupted by my phone ringing. I saw it was Tune.

"Yea?" I answered.

"Aye Bey. I just got this nigga and I'm taking him to the warehouse right now." He said.

"Alright. Thank you Tune. I'm on my way there now." I said before hanging up.
