Sheba Hart (Just Us III)

・❈ Luella's POV ❈・

The next day, I wanted to talk to Jonathan, but he was bloody absent! When school ended and I finished my ice skating practice, I swiftly took out my phone from my pocket and dialled Jonathan's number, then placed it against my ear "C'mon, pick up. Pick up!"

"Lu, what the hel-"

"No time to explain! Can you meet me at the park?" I quickly said and cutting him off

"I-Okay, fine. This better be good. Calling me this late at night" he mumbled, then hangs up the phone, I went straight to the park near his house and waited there for what seems like an hour "Where is this guy?" I looked at the time and only 2 minutes had passed 

Then I heard footsteps coming closer to me, I turned around and he was walking towards me in his pyjamas and a frown upon his face "Girl, what do you wa-"

"What does it feel like to have a crush?! Or at least a sign when someone has a crush on you?!" 

"Okay, first; stop interrupting me and secondly; where is this coming from?" he asked 

"Can you just answer the question, please?" Jonathan can see my emotions when I'm pleading, so sighed 

"You get overly excited when you're around a specific person, you wanna know more about them, interested with every little things they do, you get goosebumps when you see them smile, heart thumping widely when you're near them and you blush and stumble on your words when you try to speak to them. That's only some of the things you feel when you have a crush on someone"

"Okay...what about the signs when someone has a crush on you?" I asked, he frowned, confused by everything that is going on 

"Um...they could be a little protective over you, more touchy, flirty I guess, they're more active when you're around and....I don't know, I don't really know much about the other player" he shrugged and I saw down on the bottom-end of the slide "Now, can you please tell me what's going on with you?"

"I really don't know, Jonathan...I may or may not have feelings for this person...But it's so wrong" I mumbled 

"Woah! There absolutely nothing wrong with having a crush on someone! There's no need to get over yourself!" 

"What if that person was a teacher?" 

"Look, teacher or not, it is fine to-Wait, what?!" his eyes widen and pure shock came on his face "A teacher?!" he yelled in a whispering tone and I nodded "Wow...This is...God!"

"I know. I don't have words either..."

"Wait, who is this person?"

"You remember...that teacher I told you I bumped into a few weeks ago?" he pursed his lips and began to think for a second

"That new art teacher?" I nodded, he stared at me for a second, not getting the hint, then it hits him "Her!?!" 

"Yes..." my face turns completely red 

"I mean, she is a pretty good looking woman though"

"Jonathan! This is serious!" I screamed

"Yeah, alright! I was just trying to lighten up the mood" he defended "Okay, I don't think anything will go bad if you don't make a move"

"What if I wasn't the one to make a move first?"

"SHE KISSED YOU?!?!"

"WHAT?!? NO! I mean s-she did, b-but it was only on the cheek!"

"SHE STILL KISSED YOU!" 

"ON THE CHEEK!" he and I exclaimed, both sounding like two mad people screaming at each other

"Oh my god! Luella Everlyn! Hold on, when did this happen?"

"Y-Yesterday..." I admitted

"Yesterday? Weren't you at work?"

"Yes, but after that I went to a laundromat and she found me there, sitting on the floor and I guess she was...concerned?"

"Concerned?" he asked and arched an eye brow

"She said that I looked like I needed some company, so...she stayed"

"Then what happened after that?"

"W-Well, we chatted and um...sh asked if I wanted to go have dinner with her and I said yes-Please, don't freak out!" I quickly called out cause I saw him looking like he was about to burst and let his emotions out 

"I wasn't going to!"

"Oh, but you were about to"

"Okay, let me get this straight; she asked you out on a date and you said yes?"

"IT'S NOT A DATE!" I screamed 

"Yeah, whatever, honey. Why would you agree though?"

"We both are in a tight spot with our lives and we needed a break from everything so..."

"When?"

"This Saturday..."

"Wow! This is escalating good!"

"Jonathan, I don't want you to cheer me on!"

"Then what do you want me to do? Tell you not to go?!?"

"YES!"

"YOU'RE TOO LATE, HONEY! YOU ALREADY YES TO THE LADY!" I then grunted and covered my face with my palm 

"Have I made a mistake by doing what I just did?..." I questioned "I mean, what if things actually happens? What if things got out of hand? What if I got expelled from the school or-or she loses her job? My mother is probably going to disown me! What then, Jonathan?!? WHAT THEN?!?" 

"Okay, Luella, I need to breath, breath with me" he held my shoulder and crouched down to my level, inhaling and exhaling visibly "Follow what I'm doing. Inhale" we then inhaled together "Exhale" then exhale in the same time "Calm down, Luella"

Once I calmed myself, I looked into Jonathan's gentle and beautiful eyes, then he holds me hands "I know that having a relationship with a teacher is wrong and against the law, but know that some people were in a student and teacher relationship and had gotten out safely, without getting caught and are probably living there lives right now. It's okay and everything could go okay if you stay low and careful. I know you're old enough to understand the responsibility you have to take especially now, but you'll be okay"

"Will you be with me?" I asked, he chuckled and nodded

"Of course, I'd always be by your side" then he hugs me, his comfort and reassuring really helps me out and a smile on my face, I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I didn't have him in my life 

"I love you, Jonathan"

"I love you too" he pulls away and I can see he's getting quite teary "God, look at the time. I'd let you stay, but my parents are here, so why don't I give you ride home on my bicycle?" I agreed, we went back to his home so that he could grab his bike 

He hopped on before I did, then he started pedalling and we cycled away. I held onto Jonathan's waist, cold night wind blows at the both of us and cold air fills my nostrils, it doesn't even feel cold, it just feels very feeing, I closed my eyes to savour the lovely moment
