29、Hurt
He never knew she will still have the courage to approach him again after confronting her for sending her nudes. He focused on the book he was arranging and tried not to raise his head up and look at her as he heard her footsteps coming towards his desk.
His mind was racing, wondering what she was coming to do when she’s supposed to leave with other students. He couldn’t remember having any business with her on Monday and he was thinking of suspending the private lesson. He doesn’t want what happened in his office to repeat again. If not that the door was locked, Juliet would have caught them red handed and that would be the end of his teaching career.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
“Maybe she’s coming to help me take the books to the office.” He thought to himself and hoped so.
She got close to him and stop. She was so close that he could smell her perfume. There was a total silent in the room. He can’t think of what to say to her.
“Should I apologize to her for confronting her?” That was the first thing that came to Mikes head. Its true that he did his Job as a good teacher but he took it too far. Its just an innocent girl who is craving for his attention.
Jennifer was waiting for him to talk first but since it seemed he will never talk, she decided to break the silent herself.
“Can I come to your office after school?” Jennifer asked.
“Today is Monday. Private lesson is on Tuesday.” Mike replied bluntly and finally looked up to her face. He could see she was never in a good mood. She looked weak and there was sadness in her eyes.
He hated to see her in that mood and cursed himself for been the one behind her sadness. She was too beautiful to be kept in that mood. He wanted to apologize to her but he changed his mind Immediately. He thought he was right for confronting her even though it hurt her. He was just trying to do the right thing. They have boundaries which they were not supposed to cross. She crossed boundary by texting him with his home mobile number without his consent and made is worst by sending her nudes to him.
He knew if everything turns out the other way, it’s going to ruin his reputation. He knew that Jennifer was smart enough to keep their relationship under the carpet and never let anyone know, yet, he didn’t want to push it forward. He still want to keep relationship off school.
He knew if it wasn’t because she is his student. He won’t have been able to control himself. He would have had sex with her. He glanced her outfit. She was wearing her regular tennis shirt with a pair of white thigh high socks. She was a perfect example of a naughty school girl.
Mike never see her as a school slut or a girl who sleeps around with boys even though she wear cloths that represents it. He has never seen her pestering around boys. He was the only person she was drooling and pestering around.
Mike sighed and lowered his head before saying, “I think you will need someone else who will help you out. I will recommend another teacher. Her name is Stacey. I’m sure you will know her very well. She have thought for more than fifteen years with lots of experience in this course. I’m sure she will like to guide you. I will tell her about you and you continue with her.”
Mike heard her sharp intake of breath, and he was overwhelmed with guilt. He knew that his suggestion was the last thing she wants to hear from him. He knew that her interest was not about the teaching, that she instigated the private lesson so she could be able to be talking with him. He knew quite alright that she pulled the private lesson because that was the only way she could be talking to him privately. But he thought it’s better to keep her away from him. If he didn’t, she might put him in trouble.
He looked at Jennifer and saw she was getting more sad. Mike himself was not happy even though he was trying to push her away. He loved her, he wants her. He wants to have her around him. He’s also craving for her body more than she was craving for him but the problem was that all was happening in an environment it wasn’t supposed to. He hurts him that he couldn’t have what he wants because she’s a student and he’s her teacher. The worst was that his wolf loves her.
“But what if I want you to help me and not any other person?” She asked with a slow sweet innocent voice. Even though she was hurt, she still controls her voice.
Mike closed his eyes, opened it and replied, “I’m sorry, but I can’t continue with you.” He forced himself to say it even though that was not what he wanted. It was hard for him but he had to say it in other to be save.
The word hit Jennifer in her chest. It hurt her heart so bad that she felt as if an arrow was shoot inside her heart. She felt her knee getting weak. It was getting obvious to Jennifer that who she was dying to have doesn’t want her.
She had many boys dying to date her, ready to spend their fortune on her body. But the one she was ready to give everything she have was rejecting and torturing her along which she doesn’t thought she deserved.
Mike glanced up and looked at her when he didn’t get her response. Her head was bend to the floor. Mike started feeling guilty again. She raised her head up and looked at Mike. Looking at her eyes, it looked like she was pleading for something. He saw that she was no longer the happy friendly girl but a sad crushed innocent girl. He never knew his word could hurt her so bad to the point of reddening her eyes.
“Jennifer….” He was about to say something and Jennifer cuts in and said,
“Fine, whatever.” She turn and started leaving the class. Mike wanted to rush her and hold her back but he couldn’t. He fought the urge to pull her back till she got to the door and slammed the door shut.
