My Teacher's Heartbeat

Chapter 4

Rowan’s POV

I couldn’t stop thinking about Clara , her body, her soft thigh, and her perfect lips as it was stuck in my head. I knew I started this and placed myself in a situation.

This couldn’t work out as it dawned on me that I started developing feelings for her already. She was my student so it was wrong and it just couldn’t work.

No matter how good I felt when she was around, in a week things would go back to normal and we’ll have to act like nothing existed.

Why did she have to be so perfect? I couldn’t resist the urge to touch her at any opportunity I got.

I became less and less scared that we might get caught with all of these, she made me fearless, and I felt it was my responsibility to protect her.

I wanted her, but I couldn’t have her!

I heard a knock on the door invading my thoughts when I paused wondering if it was Clara . It wasn’t closing yet so she wasn’t supposed to be here.

My heart pounded slightly as my body built up the urge to touch Clara once again.

“Come in,” I said, clearing my throat.

To my disappointment, I was shocked to see Bella walk into the room with a very bold smile plastered on her lips like she just won the lottery.

She stood there and kept staring at me without uttering a word. I hated her type of personality so much as she was a bully who would always get on Clara ’s nerves. How can someone be so miserable Anyways?

I blamed Clara for always meeting up to her insults and not speaking up for herself because she was far better than Bella in all aspects.

“How may I help you, Miss Bella?” I strictly wanted her to leave my office as soon as possible. I detested her if that wasn’t even an understatement:

“Oh, it’s nothing, I just came to check up on you.” She said calmly walking closer to me when I stretched forth my hands stopping her.

“Why…”

“Go back to your class, you should be having a lecture right now,” I said, shunning her.

She was frowning but then her face paved the way into a smile again.

“I don’t know why you’re so difficult anyways, you know how much I love you so why do you keep on pushing me away?” She uttered with a very serious countenance on her face.

“Are you okay? If you don’t go back to your class now, I’m going to report you to the principal for skipping classes and you’re going to get into trouble.” I declared sending out a threat to her.

“Trouble?” She chuckled.

“Did I say anything funny?”

“No, you didn’t but you should know people like me don’t get into trouble.” She said, chuckling further.

I didn’t forget the fact that Bella’s dad was a very wealthy business tycoon and was one of the sponsors of the school. This was what prompted Bella to be untouchable even when she committed tough offenses, she was always pardoned.

“I hope you know that your dad's influence won’t get you everywhere. With that being said Miss Bella got out of my office.” I roared out with a cold countenance on my face.

“Take a chill pill. Why do you always act like this towards me?is it because of Clara ? That brat! What has she used on you that got you so loved up? Wake up, she is not worth you.” She muttered gently, placing her hands on my cheeks.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about and I think you’d be smarter in your academics if you learned to mind your business. Look around, no one likes you.” I said, flinging her hands from my face.

She retorted and I knew my words got to her and it was to my very satisfaction.

“Whatever she did to you she must have done a very good job, it’s obvious that you’re blindly in love with her. So is that it? Is that why you give her preferential treatment in class? Is that why she scores so high? Because you love her.” She said with disgust evident in her countenance.

“I do not owe you an explanation and if you focused more on your school work than fashion trends, you might also get a good score.” She stared at her keenly wondering how she got this sort of attitude.

She felt she could say anything she wished to anyone and still walk on a platter of gold.

“I know deep down that it’s not her head, we all know what she does behind closed doors shamelessly to get those scores,” Bella murmured but loud enough for me to hear.

“Your presence here is causing me nothing but discomfort so I would appreciate it if you walk out. And you don’t know anything about Clara or I so don’t jump to conclusions to give yourself a fault of hers which makes her better than you.”

“You can keep pushing me away but I won’t go, maybe one day you’ll realize how much I love you and how I can’t do without you.” She said and blew a fake kiss into the air sending it in my direction.

Disgusted, I brought out a spray and sprayed the area right in front of her.

“How dare you?” She roared out in embarrassment as her face was flushed.

“I said leave my office.” I roared at her.

“I..”

“Leave!”

“But you..”

“I said leave!” I said, slamming my hands hard on the table.

I could see the tears that gathered up in the corner of her eyes as she sniffled hard. But I care less about how she felt.

“I won’t let this go easily, and the more you push me away, the more pain I’ll make your beloved go through.” She spat out and stormed out of my office slamming her door hard behind her.

Such a pest she was!
