Chapter 21

I was sitting on chair, staring the beautiful woman in front of me. She was moving gracefully as she was teaching. She had reading glasses on. It was really sexy


Damn.


I was just looking at her. I already knew everything she was teaching.


She was looking at whole class as she was moving back and forth. Suddenly her gaze fell on me.


Hot damn.


It lingered a bit longer til she spoke up."Where is your book Ms. Williams?"


"Uh, in my bag?" I motioned over my bag


She crossed her arms, seemingly disappointed. "You want detention?"


I wasn't in any mood to argue with her. It won't do any good to argue when I want her to like me as before.


I shook my head "No ma'am"


She looked at me for a moment and went back to board "Open page number 90"


I ignored the rest of what she said. It was way too easy. I took the book out of bag and laid in front of me. I propped my head on my hand and rested my elbow on table.


After a while, I felt someone shaking me. I looked up and saw Octavia standing there with her hand on my shoulder.


I leaned back to sit properly and noticed drool on the desk. Gross.


"I didn't know I was boring" I heard Octavia said.


I looked up and saw a grimace formed on her face. I must have dozed off.


I shook my head as I looked around. "Nah, you're fine as hell"


No one was in room other than me and Octavia. The class must have ended.


"You do know you can't flirt with me Alex" she stated.


I stood up and looked at her. She was confusing me which was making it more complicated. I don't know what was happening in my life anymore.


"Why?" I asked firmly.


"Cause I'm your teacher" she explained.


I scoffed and took a step forward towards her as she took a step back.


"That didn't stop you before" I argued.


She sighed and turned around just to walk back to her desk.


I took my bag and went to her. "What happened Octavia?" The same question was on my mind. What made her to act this way?


She was cleaning her desk. It was lunch now.


She looked up. Her striking hazel eyes pierced into mine. I was searching for any reaction on her face but it was blank.


"Nothing happened. It was foolish of me to think that something can happen with you and me." She said monotonously while continuing packing her work.


I rolled my eyes. She's too stubborn for my liking.


"Okay, atleast tell me why you decided to help my mom with the wedding?" Is this the end of Mission Octavia?


She finally packed everything and organized her things. I was waiting impatiently for her to answer.


She laid her purse on table and sat on chair while facing me. She took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes. Must be tired.


I heard her take a deep breath then she looked at me. "You're about to get marry Alex. Your mom is so happy about it and I don't want to ruin it for your family"


"What about you? Your feelings." She really doesn't know when to be selfish.


She laughed sarcastically "It's just feelings. They'll go away"


I know she wasn't being true to herself. Who was she fooling?


"So.. How much of your feelings are gone?" I'd rather play with words here.


She looked at me for a moment "None"


I step forward and crouched down in front of her. I took both of her hands in mine . She was watching me whole time.


She didn't pulled her hands back, which was a good sign.


"It doesn't matter Octavia. All I know is that I really like you and you like me. We both have feelings for each other. Why can't you just follow your heart?" I tried to make sense. I still wasn't sure about my feelings but whatever.


She was listening "What about your marriage?"


I wish she didn't ask me that. Anything but that.


Should I tell her about yesterday? How I somehow developed feelings for Ashley.


I didn't have enough feelings for any of them to choose.


I don't even like them as they like me. It's borderline likeness for me.


I stood up "What about Rick?" I almost forgot about her boyfriend.


She shook her head. "It's over between me and him."


"Whoa when?" Then again I didn't know what was happening in her life


"The day you came to ask me for date. I wasn't home so my parents thought it'd be best to enter without permission since my sister had a spare key, they caught Rick with a different woman on couch" she giggled


I laughed at that. I can't believe they walked on him.


"Oh god!" It was hilarious


She was laughing along with me. "Yeah, I was really glad. They won't ask me consistently to marry him now."


I raised an eyebrow, confused.


She noticed my confusion "Rick proposed me." That really shocked me. "That's why my parents came. To convince me to settle down."


That means she said no. Phew.


"I can't believe he even had the balls to propose when he was cheating on you all damn time" I shook my head in disbelief


She nodded " I know, I asked for time to think about it but luckily he got caught by my parents"


I smirked."So, you single huh"


She stood "Alex, you should know when to give up"


I got closer to her, we were now face to face "I feel something for you Octavia. I really want us to try. I want to fall in love" I was looking in her eyes, pouring emotions in my gaze so she could just give in.


Which she did


"Ok, I will but you have to do something about your marriage"


I grinned in victory


I pecked her lips "Sure"


She smiled and put her hands on the back of my neck to pull me closer, just to press her lips on me.


I smiled while kissing her. I feel same as I felt with Ashley.


It was nice. Confusing but nice.


I pulled back and looked at her. She eyes were still closed. I kissed her forehead and pulled her in for hug. She wrapped her arms around me.


Yup. It's the same feeling I had with Ashley.


She pulled back and kissed me again. "You should eat, it's your lunch" I mumbled


"I don't mind" she smiled.


"But you should. I don't want you to miss your lunch" I said as I took a step back. "I've some errands to run, I'll see you later"


She nodded. I pulled out my phone "Give me your number. I don't have it."


"I have yours. I'll text you" she replied


I nodded and said bye. I left and walked in parking lot. I unlocked my car, sat inside it and drove off to Addison's house while texting David to meet me there.


It was bad. Really bad. I was in the mess created my me.


It wasn't supposed to be complicated. I wasn't supposed to go after two people.


It was so weird that I felt same with both of them.


I heard my phone vibrate. I unlocked it and saw David's text telling me that he'll be there in 10.
