Confrontation

Looking up, Ethan sees the eyes of the woman he wants more than life. "Theresa."

Turning away fast, Theresa tries to get away, but fails, when she feels Ethan's arm wrap around her.

"Please, Theresa, don't go."

"Let go, Ethan, I have to go."

"No. Not until we talk."

Huffing, Theresa turns to look at Ethan, and gets caught into his blue gaze. God, why me? "Fine, Ethan, you have five minutes to talk. Although, I tell you right now, we have NOTHING to say to each other."

"You may have nothing, but I have everything to say to you." Holding her hand, Ethan brings Theresa into his office. "Please, sit down." Sitting down, Theresa shakes her head as she watches Ethan sit next to her. "What do you want, Ethan?"

Staring into her mocha eyes, Ethan sighs. "I want us to be together, Theresa. We belong together."

"No! Oh, no! You're not doing this to me, Ethan! You're my teacher! I can't be with you!"

"Theresa, calm down. You asked what I wanted, and that's it. I can't forget the summer, Theresa. This past summer was the best of my life. And I know you can't forget it, either."

"That's not true, I have forgotten it."

"Really? Have you forgotten this?" Without thinking, Ethan takes Theresa's face in his hands, and kisses her deeply. God…heaven….

Feeling his lips on hers, Theresa sighs. I can't do this…I have to move away…after….oh God, why do I still want Ethan?

Stopping the kiss, Theresa slowly pulls away from Ethan, letting herself take a deep breath.

"You see, Theresa. We still have that chemistry. You can't ignore me, or that."

"You're my professor, Ethan. You are older than me."

"By four years, Theresa, that is not a lot. Yes, I am your professor, but what if I wasn't?"

"What are you talking about, Ethan?"
