Chapter 7

I had to go get changed before the class to freshen up. I changed into a white blouse and light blue pencil skirt. When Beatrice entered the classroom she sat right at the back, this probably is a signal that I should back off a little. The whole lesson I couldn't stop staring at her, and all the work I gave her she completed twice as fast as the other students, like I expected she is extremely intelligent.

I have backed off for a week now but its getting harder and harder to contain my feelings for Beatrice and I have never fallen in love this fast and its gnarling away at my brain every day I'm separate from her. I'm finding it extremely difficult to get over her, seeing her everyday makes my heart race. I need to tell her my feelings because judging by her body language and the way she acts around me there is a possibility she might feel the same way. I write a letter addressed to her it read:

"Dear Beatrice, I apologize that it's so late at night and I'm hoping you get this as soon as possible. But my dear could you please stop by my office? Thank you xx J"

As I held the note in my hand I went over in my head if I should actually send it to her room or not. I did. I waited for over an hour pacing back and fourth in my office. She won't come. I shouldn't be doing this. If she does come then I can back out easily and talk about her grades or something. No don't chicken out you fool. I hear a knock at the door. My heart stops.

When I open the door it takes a long time for either of us to say anything until Beatrice's melodic voice escapes her mouth and says:

"People are going to start wondering why you're with me all the time Jeanine ahha"

I laugh a little and reply with

"Come in Beatrice."

She sat on the royal blue sofa and I sat opposite on my usual chair. I gulp hard as I pluck up the courage to say; "Uh... so… Beatrice, I wanted to ask you something or um more like tell you something." I said this and stuttered on my words, I bit my lip with doubt of what I've got myself into. I trail off thinking about what I should say next when my thought process is interrupted with a slight cough followed by; "Uh yeah sure."

"So, Beatrice, ever since I met you at the choosing ceremony I uh…"

"Are you alright?"

"Yes, don't worry, anyway I think I have feelings for you."

Shit I just said that out loud. Oh god what do I do what do I say?

There was a long horrible silence so I continue

"I'm so sorry Beatrice, I didn't want to tell you but I couldn't keep it in anymore."

She didn't say anything so I decided to sit next to her on the couch to break the tension.

"I hope I didn't make you uncomfortable"

"No you didn't, I'm just surprised because I think I really like you and I didn't realize you felt the way about me, so I'm just shocked that's all, Ms. Mathews.

I took that opportunity to lean in and whisper "Call me Jeanine". That set both our lusts for each other on fire as I kissed her neck she groaned and this made me hungrier for her love my heart was racing so fast and I was out of breath. She traced her hand along my arm sending goose bumps all through my body. I grab her closer and we fall as she lies on top of me.

She jumps off me out of breath, did I do something wrong?

"What's wrong Hun?"

"I can't do this right now I'm so sorry."

I gave her a worried look as she fled the room. I sat there alone in silence thinking about the events that just occurred. I am shocked that she actually felt the same way and I am overjoyed we had that moment of embrace.
