17、Continuation
An hour passed but he had not seen her. He found himself restless as he had not seen her as she had said. For some moments, he found himself thinking about her. It was obvious he was missing her already.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
In as much as he wanted her to come, he had cultured his mind, ready for her.
About 30 minutes later, Jennifer walked in with a different attire. This time, she was wearing a cheerleading dress. He had forgotten she talked about participating in cheerleading. But she didn’t tell him she would be going to cheerleading practice before coming. She was wearing an open sweater shirt which was showing the red bra she was wearing inside and a short skirt. Her black lovely and well treated blonde hair was up in a cute ponytail which was dangling as she was walking towards his desk.
“Here she comes again.” Mike said within himself as Jennifer was approaching his desk.
“I’m very sorry that I’m late.” She said as she got to his desk. “I didn’t spend much time in the practice. I had to give a reasonable excuse before coming here now. I’m very sorry I didn’t tell you. I forgot” She knew that Mike would be angry at her for coming late. Looking at how she was breathing, Mike could noticed that she ran to his office. She was breathing heavily. He glanced at her but couldn’t help but admire her curved waist and her exposed thigh. He flipped his eyes direction and stylishly cleared his throat as she caught his gaze. He hoped he didn’t noticed he was staring at her.
“It’s alright. I don’t have any problem with that. it’s fine.” He replied, taking full control of himself right now.
“Are you serious? You are not angry?” She asked.
“You just explained why you came late. Why will I be angry?” He asked her.
“I thought you would be furious at me for keeping you waiting.” She said smiling at him. Mike returned the smile in a casual way, trying not to let her charm overpowers him. He’s supposed to be taking charge, not her.
“Not at all. Can we start now? I will be going soon.” Mike said. This time, his voice sounded cold and a little bit harsh but Jennifer cared less. Mike doesn’t want to sound friendly so she would guide herself around him. He knew he would respond if she makes any move while teaching her. He had to be a little bit harsh so she won’t think is doing anything naughty.
For Jennifer, she doesn’t care. She grabbed her seat and walked over to his seat and pulled it behind him before sitting down.
Mike would smell her scent again. Since she was new sitting by his side, he could clearly see her thigh as she was sitting down. He drifted her eyes immediately and told her to bring the assay.
She dipped her hand inside her bad and brought it out, then dropped it on the table before proceeding to undid her tied blonde hair as Mike was checking the short essay she wrote.
He was surprised on the essay she gave to him. It was written so well he didn’t imagined. He thought, would it be that someone wrote it for her?
“Tell me the truth Mr. Orton.” He continue. “Are you the one that wrote this?”
“Yeah, I’m the one. Is it so bad?” She asked innocently.
“you really did a good job here. Your work is getting much better.” He commented and looked at Jennifer, then returned to the book.
“Really.” She asked.
“Yeah, I wasn’t expecting something good like this.” Mike said.
“I think its started improving ever since you started teaching. You are actually a great teacher.” Jennifer said looking at Mike. Mike could notice she was staring at him from his peripheral vision.
“Well, Thank you for the compliment. You too, you are doing well. Your are actually a great student” He replied and looked at her face with a casual satisfactory smile. Jennifer became very excited as he said that. Her bright smile widened as she looked at him. As Mike watched her, he found out that was something sensual in her eyes. It looks like she was trying to flirt with him which he don’t want to entertain.
“I’m a great student? Really?” She asked, still excited. Mike’s eyes diveterd to her thigh and saw her skirt had went up more. He wanted to, tell her to adjust her skirt but he changed mind immediately since she’e leaving soon. According to what she wrote, theirs not much correction to make.
“Yeah, you are a very intelligent girl. The only thing you need now is to work in your punctuation. I can see a few punctuation error here. If you can modify your grammar, I think there’s nothing else left. You really did great in this write up.” He said.
“I can’t believe you can actually be this cool and friendly. I like the way you are talking now other than the way you use to talk to me in class. Especially when you want to ask me a question. I can say I love this version of you.” She said with her sweet voice, smiling at him. This caused Mike to start feeling a tingling affection in his heart. He felt his heart panicking in anxiety, he was beginning to loose his mean face. It was as if she was about to charm him again and take control of his mind.
Quickly, He frown his face so she won’t notice how her voice and smiles had affected his system and said with a cold voice, “What do you mean?”
He thought it would scare her this time but instead, Jennifer rolled her eyes and smiled at him before saying, “You want to return back your usual cold voice. You understand what I mean. You are always serious, mean and crabby to me in class. You always talk to me with cold scary voice. Would I say you were doing it intentionally because it was class? Because right now, I can a different personality, a different sweet voice and a calm soul.” Jennifer said. All this while, her smiles never left her face.
“Yeah I’m always serious and mesn whenever I’m in class because it’s not a play ground. Not only in class, I’m also cold here in my office. Will I say I’m being nice to you because you are somehow…. special?” Mike said without analyzing the statement before he said it out. Jennifer’s eyes brigthened in surprise and excitement. She smiled and bite her lower lips. He just said she’s special which he don’t supposed to say to her. Now there’s no way he could reverse it. Jennifer knew its time to divert the topic and strike.
