Chapter 20
Christian's POV:
brrring, brrring, brrrring
I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. Fuck what time is it? I thought to myself, getting annoyed. I picked up my phone and went downstairs, so I don't wake Anika up.
Start of the phone call:
Christian: "Hellllo?"
Peter: "Hey Christian, sorry to call you at 6.45 in the morning, but the school is closed today due to a gas leak in the P.E Department. I'll be sending out a message to all the students to let them know, and I will see you tomorrow morning."
Christian: "Hey, Peter, that's fine by me. I'll see you bright and early tomorrow morning, bye."
End of conversation.
I went upstairs and brushed my teeth as I'm not too fond of morning breath after I was done with that I went straight back to bed. I looked over at Anika to check if she's still sleeping and she is, so I was okay.
"I hope to god you are sleeping if not I'm toast. Ever since you came into my life ten years ago, you saved me. I fell in love with teaching because of you. I would come into school stressed out and sad, but then I would see you and everything would change. Who knew a few years later, fate would bring us together, and we would both fall in love with each other? I love you so much Anika you don't even know." I spoke to myself out loud tears falling down my face.
"I love you so much babe, please don't cry," Anika said, startling me.
"How long have you been up? " I asked her helping her to sit up.
A while, I got a text from the school about the power cut. I know it's rude of me to listen in to your conversation, but you sounded hurt," she said, leaning over to hug me.
"I fucking love you, Anika you saved me without you even knowing it," I said, kissing her forehead.
"Now what do you want to do?" I asked her since we have a free day.
"Could you help me go to the bathroom to brush my teeth and use the toilet then come back into the bed?" She asked, looking at me for an answer.
"Of course I will Anika," I got out of bed and walked over to her. I pulled her by her hands and helped her to stand up, and we carefully made our way to the bathroom. I sat her down on the toilet, closed the door, then walked back into the bedroom.
"Just call me when you are done," I said getting out of my pj's and into some casual day-time outfit.
