Chapter 4 4

Bleu's POV:

It's Sunday now, there's no school, then I just remembered what asked me to do.

Jusko, it's good that I still remembered because yesterday I just lay in my bed all day because I really felt my laziness.

I just remembered the test papers because I saw the envelope on top of my study table, I also saw that yesterday and then I said I'll do it later hahaha

I got off my bed and sat on my study table, I'll check my test paper first, of course I'm checking so take the opportunity hahah

Wait, no... I'll go with Ella's first, I'll see how big her score is after she approved me last Friday.

I took out the test papers from the envelope with the answer key, I looked for Ella's.

I looked at the door when someone knocked and it opened,

"Bleu, do you want something to eat?", asked our housekeeper Cynthia, peeking in the door.

"I really like fruit, burgers, milktea and fries.. "

Manang's face was stained with confusion,

"Po? What milktea?"

I laughed. Manang doesn't know about milktea, I always forget to buy it for him to taste.

"Yes, milktea, maybe it's too."

Manang turned behind him,

"Stay there, your Dad might hear you."

Even , don't want it! That's why I'm secretly rebelling, there's a lot of taboos.

"It's just a joke, hahha, just fruit, whatever.", I said to him with a smile.

"Alright. Wait a moment.", said Manang then left and closed the door.

They just went to the grocery store for fruit again because it runs out because of me, like I said I've been eating a lot lately and I really enjoyed the fruit.

I continued what I was doing, I checked Ella's test paper and her overall score is 33/50.

For me, 33 is a high score, but I don't know high score standards. How can I score this?

I immediately looked for my test paper and it was as soon as I found it.

"Shhhhhhhtttt seriously? Really? !", I couldn't believe my reaction while writing my overall score on the top right side of the test paper.

45/50.

Why 45? Dirty! Didn't I study at 45? Come on! Wait hahahahaha

I immediately took my cell phone from the top of my bed, I don't know what came to my mind but I immediately thought to inform that the score was 45 even though I didn't study hahahaha genius! Hahahahaha

I looked for number in my inbox because I haven't saved it yet.

What should I name him in my contacts?

I thought of something hahahaha

I felt like I was possessed while happily typing on my cellphone.

"Daddy.", I stifled a wet laugh as I named number in my contacts.

Save.

Call Daddy and brag about my score hahahah

I called number and three rings before someone answered.

[What?]

I haven't even been able to say hello, but I immediately say 'what'...

"Guess my score on your quiz on Friday.", I said excitedly.

[The hell? Did you just call me to predict your score?]

I frowned. Can you answer my question right away, I'm still complaining!

"Come on, it's art. Guess since you answered the call, what the hell is that?", I answered him with a gasp in my air.

[Is that how you talk to your Professor, seriously Ms. Williamson?]

I struggled again.

I struggled again.

"Guess what you're talking about. Come on!", the tone of my voice was a bit annoyed, my poor professor always scares me, well I'm at home now and not at school so it doesn't have any effect on me.

I heard him take a deep breath on the other line, it was like his breathing teleported to my ear, I was suddenly tickled hahaha

[45.]

My eyes widened, did he guess?

"How did you know?", I asked him in disbelief.

[I checked your paper the moment I arrived in the office last Friday.]

You know it? Is his honesty speechless?

"Why?", I asked with a frown.

[You looked like the only one who didn't listen to my class so I had to make sure and checked it then.]

I didn't really listen, it just happened that my score was 45 T_T miracle.

"Tss.", was my only reaction to what he said.

He was telling me that he had something else to do but I was teasing him so we didn't realize how long we talked about, until we got to his ex-fiancee... Then about us.

"Are you serious? Why the speed?"

He just told me that his ex-fiancee is getting married to her new boyfriend, like girl, they are faster than Flash.

[She's pregnant with his child, so I guess that explains why.]

I was silent. Her ex-fiancee's new boyfriend got pregnant so he's getting married...

What about us? What about me? What will do when he finds out I'm pregnant and he's the father?

"I'm sorry...", I suddenly said.

[For?]

"You should have been the one he married if it hadn't happened to us... I shouldn't have dared then and approached you...", I said softly.

I raised my two legs on the chair, then hugged my knees.

It took a long time before he could answer, he's probably thinking of what to answer...

[It's bound to happen...]

"What do you mean?"

[Even though you didn't approach me then, there could be other women, the drug that was put in my drink is for me to make that mistake to destroy Claire and me. It just happened that you were the first to come...]

Error...

He's right tho, what happened to us was a mere mistake... But why does it sound like it hurts?

Will the child inside me grow up as a mistake?

[It shouldn't have happened. I took something important from you, it's a big mistake especially since you're my student.]

I smiled bitterly.

He's regretting what happened to us, I kinda regretted it too at first but when I found out I was pregnant I kinda felt bad to regret what happened.

I've always wanted to be a great mom in the future, I don't want my child to experience what I'm experiencing in this house. So when I found out I was pregnant, I was scared but deep inside.. There's this small happiness.. 'That small happiness, she grows every day that passes...

Maybe that explains why it hurts me to hear from mouth that that shouldn't have happened to us, that it was just a big mistake...

[How do you want me to take responsibility for what happened to us? I can't just tell you to forget about it...]

"No. Let's forget about it. I want graduate, let's bury what happened in the ground, it could be both dangerous for us if someone else found out. We were both to blame after all."

He was silent again on the other line as if he was thinking of something to answer...

"I'm being called downstairs. I'll give you the test papers tomorrow in your class. Bye."

I did not answer him and immediately hung up. I also put down my cellphone and hugged my knees tightly.

I heard some saying that girls would develop some type of attachment to guys who took their first. I don't know if this is what I feel about Ampa, he indeed took something from me but he wasn't the first.

Zane's POV:

"Good morning class.", I greeted everyone when I entered the classroom.

"Good morning prof!", they greeted me back, although not at the same time.

I put my manual down on my desk and looked at his chair, frowning.

Just stay with me until I graduate, nobody has to know. Nothing will happen if no one knows except us."

He let go of me and felt the sensation of his forehead,

"Oh god, I can't believe a student is negotiating this to me right now..."

"I was just telling you to stop me talking about your fellow student there.", I said annoyed.

He looked at me as if thinking,

"Are you really sure about this? Like what do you do again if we're going to do this?"

I don't know what his reaction will be when he finds out I'm pregnant, my plan is to date him until I graduate, and during that time I will do everything to make him like me. tell him the truth..

I have decided, I want to give my child maybe not perfect but a complete family.

"Just until I graduate. It's risky but it's how I want you to take responsibility since you asked for it."

He leaned on his table and thought again.

I stood in front of him with my fingers crossed, hoping he'd agree.

He stood up well.

"Nobody else should know our relationship, it's only between us. In my class, act like a student and respect me as your professor, basically show me some respect in front of everyone.", he suddenly said.

"What does that mean?", I wondered.

"Rules for dating me."

My eyes widened, a smile formed on my lips, I was so happy that I jumped to hug him, he caught me by surprise...

"Sht am I even doing the right thing? Why the heck am I doing this...", I heard him complain but I didn't care, the important thing was that he agreed.

"No unnecessary skinship in public, don't be too clingy an obvious to avoid speculations, adding that to my rules that you need to abide by.", he continued then gently pushed me away from him.

"Just be a good boyfriend to me until I graduate, that's my only rule.", I said.

"Yeah, whatever. Just leave already, your next class is starting soon.", he said as if he still had jet lag from what was happening.

"Isn't there a kiss?", I said jokingly while still sniffing in front of him when he pushed my forehead with his index finger;

"Jesus Christ, it's my office, you unholy thing. Leave."

I laughed at his reaction, I didn't tease him because he seemed still confused by what happened.

I said goodbye to him again before I went out to go to my next class.

I've accomplished the first step of my plan, now I need him to fall for me.

Zane's POV:

I'm in my office today, yesterday I was floating because I don't know if I made the right decision in agreeing to that girl's wishes.

I'm kinda worried, this is really complicated especially since she's a graduating student and even though I'm only a temporary professor of this University, a student-teacher relationship is still forbidden.

I think I heard she's 20 years old? I'm fcking turning 26 next month, that means I'll be 6 years older than her, this is just so wrong.

Well, the fact that I wouldn't really be her student if I didn't accept the offer to replace Mrs. Rodriguez this semester which I only accepted because I was looking for her and I found out that she was studying at La Sobremesa University and it turned out that I got the offer the same time I knew she was attending this school.

I started teaching when I was 21, I was ahead of my batch. I should retire from teaching after teaching for almost 6 years because I'll be taking over our family's business, I'm retiring after the semester ends but it still feels wrong to date a student especially way younger than me.

I've always been so strict and serious about teaching, I've encountered a lot of seduction and temptation from my other female students before, there even one student who tried to bribe me in exchange of dating her secretly, that is so wrong and I don't allow that kind of behavior so I informed her parents so they transferred her to a different school after that.

I was never once tempted, I hate those kind of stuffs and another one at that time I was already dating Claire but look at what I've fcking done, I messed up big time! Who would have thought that among the majority of women in the club that night, a student of mine had done that?

It's not like what happened to us was intentional, I was under the control of an arousal drug and alcohol, while she was dead drunk... It's not anyone's fault, we weren't on our right minds when we did that.

There is no secret that cannot be revealed, and I'm really afraid that I might ruin that girl's future just because of what happened to us.

I'm playing with my ballpoint pen while I'm in the middle of deep thinking about what to do, should I tell him that I'm withdrawing my agreement yesterday, as long as I don't know, I'm actually quite knowledgeable in a lot of stuffs that's why I became a teacher and why I was ahead of my batch but I'm just stupid in this situation.

I stopped playing with my ballpen and looked at the door when someone knocked, I sat down properly and put on my glasses.

"Come in.", I said.

The door opened, I thought it was him.

He entered and closed the door.

"What are you doing here Ms. Williams-", I couldn't finish what I was going to say when she glared at me,

"Don't call me Ms. Williamson when it's just the two of us.", he said.

"Don't call me Ms. Williamson when it's just the two of us.", he said.

I got used to calling her Ms. Williamson, I can't even remember the girl's name because of that reason.

"Call me by my name, try it.", he said while sitting in front of my table.

"What's your name again?", I can't remember, that's why just came with his face as if I was afraid of my life and in an instant I immediately remembered his name...

"B-bleu, right?", I asked.

He smiled when he heard her name.

Women, see how fast their mood changes? They can be mad at you for a second, and the next second they're already smiling like nothing happened.

"What are you doing here?", I asked again.

He can't always come to my office, the other students might find out.

He put something on my table that I didn't notice he was carrying when he came in.

Is that a lunchbox?

Bleu's POV:

I brought her lunch, I didn't cook of course, the food was cooked by Manang Cynthia for me, I just opened it earlier and I felt nauseous, so instead of throwing it away, I'll just give it to .

"Why are you giving this to me?", he asked while opening the lunchbox in front of him.

"Ohhhhhhh", I reacted as I stepped back because I didn't like the smell when Manang cooked, looked at me with raised eyebrows.

"What's with the reaction? Are you giving me a spoiled food?", he smelled the food inside the lunchbox and frowned.

"This smells delicious, why can you react like that?", he asked in surprise.

I moved the seat I was sitting a little far from his table and he just followed me with his eyes.

"I'm not a fan of that food.", I just lied.

He covered the lunchbox and looked at his watch.

"Thank you for this, I'll eat it later. Anyway,..."

What will he say again?

"... Stop going here in my office frequently. If you keep doing that, many people will immediately notice and maybe wonder, I told you, we should avoid speculations... It's not good for the both of us if a word gets out ."

I was exhausted. Seriously, is that how a boyfriend talks to his girlfriend?

The way he talks to me is like I'm still his student even though we're both here.

"Is that how you talk to Claire?", I answered far from what she was saying.

"What do you mean?", he asked with his eyebrows furrowed.

"I mean, when you and Claire were still... How did you talk?"

"Why are you bringing her up? I'm trying to move on.", he said with a hint of annoyance.

I just looked at him as if I was waiting for his answer to my question;

"We talk normally, what answer are you expecting? Just like how other couples talk."

I crossed my legs.

"So it's not like you're talking to me?"

"She was my girlfriend and you're my student, of course, there's a big difference on how I talk to you and how I talk to her."

I narrowed my eyes at him, I gave him a very unpleasant look... I didn't like his answer, he said, he still thinks of me as a student.

He understood the look I gave so he immediately explained.

He understood the look I gave so he immediately explained.

"Okay, I'm sorry. We're indeed in a relationship now, but Claire and I are different, I loved her, while I don't have feelings for you."

Yeah right, loved... Past tense even though I know he still loves me to this day.

"I can't help it that I only see you as my student."

At first, I was well versed in the word mistake, now it has increased, I am well versed in the word student.

This can't be it. This man's stubbornness, if I just let him treat me as just a student then maybe that won't change even though we're in a secret relationship right now, I need to do something.

In order to make progress in this relationship, I have to find a way to get out of that student zone.

I stood up from my seat and walked towards him, stopping in front of his desk.

"What?"

"Do you remember every detail of what we did that night?", I suddenly asked, I even surprised him with my question.

"I don't. Which is a good thing.", he answered me.

I smiled at him. I placed my two hands on his table as I leaned closer to him, he stepped back a bit;

"Then maybe that explains why you talk to me like I'm a kid, that I'm just your student because if only you have remembered every detail of what we did that night you wouldn't be able to see me as a student anymore."

I saw him swallow his saliva so my smile grew wider.

"I would appreciate it if you could lean back, maybe someone will see us.", was the only answer I said.

"We're dating because I like you, but I'm not really happy on how you treat me so I'm going to change that."

He frowned.

"And how do you plan on doing that?"

Is he challenging me perhaps?

"I'll be someone you won't be able to resist."

I held up his necktie and kissed him on the lips.

It took a long time before he could react, I was there kissing him for almost a minute until he pushed his table with all his might so that the swivel chair he was sitting on moved back with him.

He immediately stood up and grabbed his necktie.

"You're insane! That was dangerous!", he said in disbelief.

I laughed.

"You're blushing, Prof."

"My ass is red."

I just laughed more at his answer.

"I'll give you more kisses next time but as of now, I still have classes to attend. I'll see you around.", I said and winked at him.

I walked out of his office laughing but when I got out of the library I immediately sat down in the first chair I saw.

A while ago my knees were weak because of what I did, it looked like I was brave earlier but my heart was about to explode from being so nervous.

I actually did that.

I touched my lips and like a fool I didn't realize that I was smiling too wide.
