Chapter 5 5

She didn't want to make Erick understand that she was still in love with him, but she also didn't want to make him understand that she was thinking of someone else.

I sighed.

In the same way, I should not be interested since we are both divorced. But a part of me still has the tiny little hope that he still thinks of me.

To be honest, everything was a little more difficult than I thought, and soon I can see Teo: the teacher turning around in a hurry.

Curiosity got the better of me, despite the fact that I told myself that I shouldn't get into where I didn't belong.

I was already running after him. I wanted to know why you had such a sad face and apparently he was heading to the roof. Where I had found it before. Curious, I start up the remaining steps until I reach his side.

"Here again" I speak slowly.

He looks up from his eyes are a little Aprilght.

"Yes... here again."

"Are you OK? I actually saw you quite pale and with a sad countenance. I just worried.

"You must be the first and only person who cares about me...thank you.

"Why wouldn't I worry about you? you look like a good person; Besides, I like you as a teacher and you are very patient. Who made you sad? I can... get a shovel, will you? "I want to know.

"A shovel?

"Well yes, to bury the one who hurt you.

Teo laughed, although later, apparently remembering, his face became sad.

"I always wanted to fit in among the teachers, you know? I always go into the staff room, have a cup of coffee hoping that someone will talk to me, but it's not like that Aprilana, most of them ignore me and I shouldn't be telling you this, you're a college student. You will think the worst of all. Although Erick, if he talks to me.

＜＜Erick always so sweet＞＞

" Don't worry. I have my own self-judgment and it seems wrong to me that they do that. Besides, you're handsome, I don't understand why.

"You just told a teacher: that he is handsome" he comments amused.

"Well, I just told another teacher that I liked someone other than him and he is my ex-husband.

"And how did they come to this conversation? "He says confused.

I open my eyes in surprise, I'm not going to be telling him either: it was because I put his name and Erick's.

I stayed silent, he looks at me curiously and begins to approach me. I took two steps back, until I collided with the end wall. My eyes widen in surprise in his direction; The truth is that I don't know why, having him around: it makes me nervous.

Not even with Hernan has this happened to me.

"Well... that's not something that matters to you," I say defensively.

"You are right, but since you have worried about me; I'll worry about you too" he comments with such sweetness that I melt.

"It's... because I wrote Erick with many hearts and on the left side I wrote Erick or Teo" he declared without stopping to speak.

The professor looks at me in surprise, and he walks away from me taking small steps, quite nervously, it seems.

＜＜I screwed up all the way＞＞

"Is there another person named Teo...? "he wants to know something confused without looking at me.

He approaches the edge of the half wall, where one leans out and may fall.

"No, it's because of you.

He turns, his cheeks flushed. Even at that moment he seems adorable to me.

＜＜It's very cute＞＞

"Why my name...? "he wants to know.

"I don't know Teo, but from the first time I saw him: it's like my heart was beating. It's been a long time since that happened to me; as well as with Erick. Not even with... Hernán. He was the closest person I was, the truth is that I don't even understand myself.

I smiled weakly at him and he, at that moment, looked at me even more confused. He came taking small steps to my side, held my hand and squeezed it hard. I looked at him surprised by that gesture: it was partly insignificant but it meant a lot to me at that moment.

"It is the first time that someone tells me that I am handsome and that I make their heart beat.
