Please Talk to Me
Coming into class the next morning, Theresa stole a quick glance at Ethan, then looked away when she noticed him staring at her. God, just let me get through this semester…
Once everyone was sitting down, Ethan began his class. "Everyone, I have your papers for you, which will be returned at the end of class." Continuing with his lecture, Ethan kept stealing glances at Theresa, sighing inside hoping that his plan would work.
Later on, when class was ending, Ethan began to pass out the papers. When he came to Theresa's desk, he turned her paper face down, and moved on. Turning over the paper, Theresa sighed as she saw the words "see me" written in red. Great. Now what have I done? Waiting till everyone left class, Theresa made her way to see Ethan at the front of the room.
"You wanted to see me?"
Hearing her voice was like a sweet melody in Ethan's ears. Taking a deep breath, Ethan turned around and faced Theresa. The feelings he had for her came crashing back so fast inside him, that he had to grab onto the desk so as to not reach for Theresa.
"Yes, I did."
"What was wrong with my paper?"
"Nothing. I did that so we could talk. You've been avoiding me."
"Can you blame me? I had no choice!"
"You always have choices in life, Theresa. I just wish that we made the choice together to end our relationship."
"We never had a relationship! It was a fling!" Exasperated, Theresa begins to turn around, when Ethan's hand on her arm stops her.
"If it was just a fling, then why do you look away every time our eyes meet? If it was just a fling, why am I so jealous that you're moving on, and I'm stuck admiring you from a distance?"
"This isn't right, Ethan." Don't give in, Theresa, you can't be with him, no matter how much you want to.
"I realize that. But you can't be denying your feelings for me."
Turning around, Theresa glares at Ethan. "I can, and I will. Now, let me go. I have to go to class."
Feeling defeated, Ethan moves back as Theresa passes him. How can you deny the feelings you have for me Theresa, when I have these feelings for you?
Outside class, Theresa wipes the tears from her eyes. "I do still have feelings for you, Ethan, I just can't be able to act on them right now…maybe not ever." Taking her phone out of her purse, Theresa calls Whitney.
"Can you meet me somewhere? I need help."
Agreeing to meet up with Whitney, Theresa quickly goes to her car, and takes off.
