Teaching A Thing Or Two

Chapter 14 Realizations

Jameson's POV

I lean here against the wall in the hallway, just listening in on their private conversation, and I can't feel any better but actually worse about this action.

I got to hear how she is with my daughter and man to say I love their relationship is a complete understatement. They're obviously very close and trust each other, which is hard for my daughter to do with any woman, for obvious reasons.

It's such a turn-on to see her acting like a mother to my daughter, who has always craved for motherly love. But now I feel awful because I heard about her personal medical problems, that I shouldn't know about.. but now I do, and I can't take that knowledge back. That's crossing a trust barrier before it has even started to build, which makes things way harder than they need to be.

I don't know what to do.. should I go into the room making my presence known? Or should I leave to head back downstairs? Or should I actually take this new interesting step into my love life, accepting what my daughter and I have been wanting at the risk of both of us getting hurt? Or just stay lonely? I don't know how to feel at all, and man, my mind won't stop running full speed, making things so overwhelming all around.

"So, do you know if I'm being taken out of your class or not?" I hear Sunny ask Finley as she quickly replies. "I left all that up to your father and asked him to tell me either way.. but the last thing I want to do is start problems around here.. and I wasn't even around your parents for too long before chaos broke loose on multiple levels, making me feel like this is my fault.. So I don't even know if I should be your teacher.. but you know I will always be here for you.. you have had my number for how many years? You know already that I don't care when and if you call me so no matter what just know it's going to be ok."

I decide to step into the room, exposing myself to them no matter how much a part of me doesn't want to.

"None of this is your fault, Finley.. and Sunny? I told your mother you will be staying in Finley's class, no matter what she thinks." I declare to her as she smiles and bounces on her toes in excitement.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Daddy!" She says, running to me, hugging me so tight. "Ok.. that's good to hear, I hope you have a good night, and I'll see you tomorrow morning, Sunny." Finley states to us as she starts to head out of the room.

"Finn? Are you not staying for dinner?" Sunny asks as I watch Finley glance up at me, then back to Sunny before saying, "I'm sure I have overstayed my welcome for tonight. I'm just happy your father is allowing you to stay with my class.. so I won't push my limits.. but thank you." She continues to walk through the doorway trying to get past us as I feel my heart picking up it's pace not wanting her to leave either.

"Come on, Finley, I'm sure you're famished after tonight. You deserve to try to relax getting something in your system." I suggest to her as she stares up at me for a moment. You can see that the wheels are turning in her head, at least considering my offer.

"But my dress is ripped and open for everyone to see which I'm sure no one wants to see that.. I know I don't. So that completely takes away the professionalism of the dinner.." She states to me as I suggest. "Well, I'm pretty ready sure we stopped caring about the professionalism the moment you walked into the door, Finn.. So, there is no judgment here.. But I don't have any women's clothing, I do have something you could change into.. but only if you wanted."

She looks at me suspiciously as Sunny adds to the convincing. "Yes, please, Finn.." Finley shyly nods at me as I wave her over to follow me down the hall to my room.

I walk down the hallway as I open my bedroom door for Finley while she follows me in looking more nervous than ever. I make my way over to my closet, grabbing a pair of basketball shorts and a t-shirt for her.

"I'm sorry I don't have any women's clothing and nothing fancy for men's, but something is better than nothing, right?" I say to her as she nods at me.. she looks so nervous, and it's actually really cute.

"Wait.. I think I messed that up.. did I just say clothes on you are better than no clothes on you? I don't mean that at all. It's obviously been a long night." I say with so much humor to her as she rolls her eyes while smirking over at me, then scoffing at my comment.

"Ok, I'll be downstairs. If you need anything, just yell, and I'm there." I say to her as she quickly states, "Hey Jameson?... I just really wanted to say thank you.. you know.. for everything that you have done for me." She takes the clothing from my arms, setting them down on my bed beside her as I softly state in response, "Anytime Finn." I turn walking out of my bedroom, closing the door behind me then realizing I forgot to grab my cell phone from the bed.

I turn back around, opening the door as my gaze locks onto Finley, who is letting her dress go as it falls to the ground, showing me everything I wanted to see before.. and man, it doesn't disappoint one bit. She is so beautiful that I can't even tear my gaze away from her gorgeous frame. She has a lacey teal bra and thong set that hugs onto her voluptuous curves, making me wish I could just take a bite with her looking so delectable.

My gaze slowly trails up over her body, enjoying every last inch of her masterpiece frame until I get connected into her gaze. She is smirking at me but not objecting to me being in here with her.. she continues to just grab the shirt I gave her as she drapes it over her head until it covers over her body like a dress because it's so much bigger.

"So, are you just going to stand there staring? Or is there an actual reason you came back in?" She asks me as she bends over my bed, grabbing the shorts I left her. I can't help but stare at her exposed ass that's showing from her thong and the shirt that's not completely covering it.

"Um.. yea.. um.. my phone.. that's it.. I came back for my phone." I declare as she bites her lip gently, making me jealous. I'm not the one biting it. I watch her gaze glide around the room as she sees my phone in the middle of the bed. She turns back around, bending over to reach it for me, and I let her, not even attempting to get it myself, because I'm just enjoying the view. She has a nice plump bubble butt that looks even better in my shirt, so why would I ever interrupt or object to that.

She grabs my phone, getting off of the bed and slinking back over to me, handing me my phone. "You know you're making this way harder than it has to be to resist you." I inform her as she gives me a cheeky smirk, then says sarcastically, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Well, I'm trying to be a good dad and not maul my daughter's teacher that I just officially met.. and yet I have already done it once tonight, and it looks like it might happen again if you don't stop being so sexy." I say in a rumbling tone, practically purring to her as her smirk gets bigger before stating.

"Well then, you better get downstairs with your daughter before I let you maul me." She bites her lip after this comment, making me smile bigger.. I don't know how she keeps having this effect on me, I feel like she is sucking the oxygen right out of my system, like I'm running out of oxygen while my heart races as if I just ran a mile.. it's astonishing, really.

I smile big at her as I walk backward, away from her, but still being locked into her gaze. Well, that is until I run into my door. I am groaning in pain as I pay attention this time to getting myself out of the room before I embarrass myself more. This makes her giggle as I'm completely embarrassed now.

I get out of the room, shutting the door behind me, saving myself from her gaze, giving myself some time to recover.. But no matter what, over the past couple of days, I just seem to keep thinking about her, and nothing can take her from my mind, but for some reason, I really don't care.

I make it down the stairs and back into the kitchen to put the now cold dinner out for us to chow down on."So..... Do you like Finn?" My daughter asks from behind me. I turn around, glancing in her direction, sending a smile at her as I state, "Yea, she seems like a nice teacher for you.. A very good fit for the both of you, actually.. I do like the relationship that you both seem to have."

"Ok, if that's the direction you're going to take the conversation, then fine.. then yes, she is a great teacher, and she has been there for me when things were tough, and I just needed a woman to talk to.. you know about women things.. I can trust her with anything." She replies as I nod at that, plating up some food to heat up for us.

"So if you're not going to say it, Daddy, then I will.. I know you like her." Sunny states to me as I smile back at her. "Yea, I said she seems very nice for you."

"No.. I'm not that naive, Daddy. I can tell you like her.. like her.. I see the way you look at her.. I just want to tell you I don't mind one bit.. I want her to be a mom to me over my actual mom." She states as I stiffen up, turning around.

"Well, are you sure you want something like that? I mean, she is your teacher now.. and if I did, hypothetically start to see her, that means you would have to see her all the time, too. At school, then here or wherever." I explain to her just trying to test the waters with that comment.

"I don't mind at all, actually.. but Daddy, it shouldn't matter what I think because you would be the one dating her.. I just want you to be happy.. I don't even know if she would be the woman to make you happy, but it's worth a try, isn't it?" She states to me so sweetly as I nod.

"I'm just nervous, honestly.. I haven't done this in a while, and I don't exactly know what to do anymore.. I'm am older than her too.. also, your mother already hates her, so I'm sure I will hear about that from her." I explain my worries to her as she gives me some sound advice.. which is nice, we never get to reverse the roles of our relationship, so refreshing. "Oh come on, you can handle anything, so my mother should be no problem for you, no matter how stubborn she is.. I'm sure Finley doesn't care about the age difference at all, so I don't know why you do.. and I know you're nervous, but isn't that the normal situation for new relationships? But if she likes you and you like her, then you will get past all these new relationship steps.. and things should get easier over time, but that's something that takes time.. or that's at least what I hear.. and Daddy she is a good woman. She is so good at heart.. you deserve a woman like that, don't short yourself because you're worried about these little things.. I know you're stronger than that."

My mouth drops open in shock. Not because of the deep thoughts she has explained to me but because of the thought that she is right, and I do just need to actually try if I'm going to do this.. I can't half ass something like this. It's either all or nothing.. and I just got my daughter's approval, so the next step is figuring out how to talk about it with Finley.
