PREGNANT FOR MY BOYFRIEND'S UNCLE, MY HOT PROFESSOR

Episode12

Chapter 12

Daniella's POV

My eyes stung with tears as I stumbled into the bathroom. I gripped the door like I was holding on for my life. Somehow I knew what I had seen but even then my brain was slow to catch up. Both of them.

Professor Kent and her, Freya.

Somehow, in her own particular way she had found her way to him. The both of them coming into school together, he opened the car door for her, whatever they had said then. I had seen him staring at her as she walked away.

Suddenly, everything that I had planned to tell him disappeared into the wind. The courage I possessed before had gone. She had stolen it in her own way. Now that he had her would he even care about me?

There was a knock on my stall door, “Is anyone in there?"

The knock startled me, causing me to close my mouth and muffle my sobs. “Yes, I'm in here. Sorry" even though I didn't need to apologize given the bathroom had six stalls.

There was a sigh before they moved on and left me alone again. Once I was sure she had gone, I released the breath I had been holding. This time I didn't let my tears build too much. Even if I wanted to back off, I couldn't.

Not at this point.

“I have to do this" I muttered to myself as if I was my best friend, trying to encourage me.

I looked myself in the mirror, cleaning the tears and ensuring that it wasn't obvious. Once I looked preventable enough, I looked at the time. There were about twenty minutes left until the end of the school day. Which meant that if I wasn't quick enough,I would miss him.

There wasn't any other choice and a few minutes later, I stood in front of his office door.

Just as I raised a hand to knock I heard a loud voice come from inside and stopped. Immediately, my attention was on what could be happening inside.

Unfortunately the words didn't come in clearly through the door.

"You can't….dude"

Then his voice, the one I recognized so well, caused shivers down my spine. “I'm not….I can't believe….. f**k”

I couldn't help but wonder what they were talking about. If it could be Freya. Maybe Professor Kent was telling someone about whatever happened between him and her.

I had zoned out when a word caught my attention, it wasn't him that said it but even then.

"A fiance…" nothing after that.

My body froze as I heard it. Somehow that was the last word I had expected to hear. Even then I couldn't understand what it meant in any context.

I was in the middle of deciphering the word when I heard someone clear their throat behind me. My body shook slightly in shock as I turned back to see who it was, trying to pretend I hadn't been snooping around.

His familiar dark eyes stared into mine and I startled at who it was.

Gareth stood there, a smirk on his face. I looked around him quickly for his minion or rather his master. Freya wasn't anywhere in sight. I sagged in relief at that, at least the torture didn't have to be double of it.

“You" he looked at me and then at the door. “Here" he said the words with a mischievous look on his face.

I felt a rising annoyance that surprised even me. Still, he was the last person I wanted to encounter. “He's my professor," I lied. He didn't have any stand to question me anyway.

He smiled, “We both know he's not. Maybe you've come to meet him for another round like the w***e you are?" He stepped closer, the strong cologne came off him. “Do you think he'd pay you again or this time for free?"

My face burned with embarrassment, I looked away, "I never took that money” my voice shook. "I didn't even intend to do anything”

He looked me over, "Sometimes I wonder what he could have possibly seen in you. Maybe he was too desperate, I mean if I've been starved of s*x way too long then I'd take you as well”

His words stung harder than I wanted it to. I had convinced myself that he didn't matter to me anymore but now, I couldn't help myself. Before he said anymore, I began to push past him, unable to bear anymore.

He didn't let me go far, soon he was in front of me again. “Where do you think you're going? I haven't even shared half the good news in fact"

I raised a brow at that. So far, my life had been bad news after bad news and now this. Even then, I wasn't sure how exactly it was my concern. “I don't care to know. Just let me go" I stopped, “Please" I couldn't help myself, not caring that it made me sound weak.

He shook his head, "Oh I will. I just wanted you to know” his eyes went behind me. "You see Professor Kent went and did something truly surprising today”

My heart stopped for a second at his words. Aside from what I had seen, I had no idea what he could have done. It wasn't even my business.

"He just got engaged to Freya, they're going to be married soon”

Suddenly the sounds around me died slowly, the whirr of the air conditioner, the slam of books on desks and the sound of shoes as they tapped the ground.

His words stunned me, I felt my mouth open and close on its own volition. Gareth still stood in front of me, a satisfied look on his face. The thought of slapping him found its way into my head and I imagined it perfectly. His head turned to the side with the force I used to hit him.

Finally, I found my voice, pushing the shock away. "I didn't need to know this. It's none of my business” I managed to force out even though it was fully my business especially because I was carrying his baby.

He shrugged, "I didn't want the news to shock you too much when it hits the school tomorrow, thought I'd do you a favor” he stopped but then looked like he remembered something. "Oh and to ensure you don't disgrace yourself any longer in front of the school by sleeping with an engaged man even though you're probably that cheap"

I felt my eyes sting with tears again. Quickly, I blinked them away and met his gaze directly. “I don't care about any of it" I didn't wait for him to say anymore, walking away just as he opened his mouth.
