LIVING WITH MY TEACHER - CHAPTER 51&52
They stopped kissing immediately, and their lips left each other as they turned their attention to the door. Mindy was standing at the door with a deep pan shock on her face. She got mixed feelings, and she felt her heart burning in ache.
“I’m.. sorry” She smiled colly.
“I will come back next time” She said and quickly closed the door.
Pascal quickly stood up from Josephine and rushed after her, he got out and grabbed her hand when she was about to get into her car.
Mindy looked back with a hurtful glance in her eyes.
“You are leaving, why?” He asked.
“I think… it’s better to give you two space” She smiled, hiding the hurt and pain in her voice, and her eyes with a fake smile which didn’t reach her cheeks.
“You shouldn’t leave because of that, let’s go in, please” He smiled, and she looked at him.
“Ok” She swallowed, staring at where his hand was touching her. She stylishly took her hand away from him.
“Let’s go” He said, and she went in with him.
“Bestie” Josephine pulled her into a hug but Mindy didn’t hug her back.
“Are you okay?” Josephine asked after breaking the hug.
“I’m fine, I miss you” Mindy smiled.
“I missed you too, so how is the lecture in the company going?” Josephine asked.
“Stressful but I’m beginning to learn” She replied, sitting down.
“Wow! You guys went shopping?” Mindy asked when she saw the bags.
“Yeah” Pascal replied, and took the bags, going in with them.
“You love him?” Mindy faced her.
“Yeah, I love him so much”
“You are….
“I know I’m older but I don’t mind, he loves me just like that, I don’t care about the age difference anymore, I fell for him more than I can imagine, I didn’t know how it even happen, sorry you are knowing this way, I plan on telling you” Josephine said.
“It’s fine, you two look good together and I support your relationship with him, first time in years you are having a boyfriend, I’m so happy” Mindy said genuinely, and stood up before pulling her into a hug.
“Treat him right, don’t break him okay” She muttered.
“I won’t, bestie” Josephine smiled.
MINDY’S MANSION*
Mindy was in tears before she even got to her mansion, she didn’t go to her dad’s mansion, she came straight here after leaving Pascal’s apartment, she is hurting deeply, and she needs time alone to think.
The car stopped in the driveway but she didn’t come out, she stayed for almost five minutes in the car.
She started remembering the moments she spent with him already, and it was the best moments of her life, she has stayed single because she dated jerks in the past but he was different. She didn’t know how she started growing feelings for him but it started the first day she saw him. Despite the age difference she was planning to confess her feelings to him but now..
How can she fall in love with the same guy her friend is also in love with, they are even dating. She got broken even before confessing her feelings to him.
f_ck…. Love hurts badly.
She placed her head on the wheel as she continued crying her heart out.
She can fight love but not in this situation, they are already dating, it would be different if they weren’t dating but she can’t fight for love if it’s Josephine.
“We love ourselves like sisters, Josephine too will do the same if it was her, I can’t break our bond because of love, I have to let go no matter how painful it’s, I love you Pascal but Josephine’s happiness is the priority. Pascal doesn’t even see me the way I see him, I can’t do anything, I should just support their relationship” She smiled sadly, wiping her tears.
She came out of the car, and walked into her mansion.
Her phone started ringing and she took it out to check.
She smiled lightly when she saw it was Julius calling.
She answered.
“Mindy” He said cheerfully.
“Julius” She said lowly, her voice filled with dejection though she tried so much hiding it.
“Are you okay? Did you cry?” He asked with a lace worried voice.
“I’m fine” She replied.
“Are you really sure?”
“I’m sure”
“Okay, I just wanted to check on you, it’s Sunday, I can’t wait to see your face on Monday” He said.
“Thank you for caring,bye” She said, and hung up.
She dropped her phone on the couch, and fell on the couch, closing her eyes.
CAMILA’S HOUSE*
Camila opened the door after getting a knock on the door, her eyes brightened when she saw Nathan grinning. She smiled widely, she was missing him so much.
“Nat…” She didn’t complete her statement when he pulled her into a tight hug.
She hugged him back tightly, she knew something huge came up with his expression.
He hugged her like that for two minutes before letting go of her.
“What is it?” She asked curiously.
Instead of replying, Nathan kept smiling.
“Talk to me, please” She said softly.
“I’m going to perform at Moon fly concert and awards” He replied, and her eyes widened.
“Tell me you are joking, that’s the biggest musical show in Paris” She shouted.
“Jordan CEO confirm, here is my pass card, he enlisted my name on the special artists tag, it’s happening just some weeks ahead”
“That’s next month” She screamed happily.
“We’re recording our song before that time, guess what, my songs are getting thousand streams on all digital streaming platforms, I’m going to some height baby” He said excitedly.
Camila started blushing when he called her baby, she felt so special and her heart started banging hard.
“I can see the future already, I can see it” She screamed excitedly, and he hugged her again.
“Let’s do it” He said.
“Let’s do it” She said, and they hugged tighter.
LAWRENCE’S MANSION*
“Son” Mrs Lawrence widened her arms when Laurent entered the mansion.
“Mum” He smiled and went into her arms, hugging her.
“My child, I missed you” She smiled.
“How are you mum?” He asked.
“I’m fine” She replied.
“Son” Mr Lawrence called as he descended the stairs.
Laurent turned and faced him.
“Dad” He said.
“You are here” Mr Lawrence said, and hugged him but he quickly broke the hug.
“What is that smell?” He asked.
“What smell?” Laurent asked.
“You smoke?” He asked and Laurent’s heart skipped a beat.
“What? What are you talking about honey?” Mrs Lawrence interrupted.
“How can you say that dad?” Laurent snapped.
“I’m sorry, maybe I just took… nevermind, so how are you relating with Josephine?”
“It’s hard but I will win her over” Laurent replied.
“You engagement with her will soon happen, see you later son” Nr Lawrence patted Laurent on the shoulder and walked away.
“She will love you son, you are handsome and a good boy” Mrs Lawrence said, and he smiled.

“Where should we go next?” Landon asked Manon. They have been having fun since they left his salon shop, and it’s 6pm now. It has been filled with fun and argument.
“Let’s eat, I’m hungry” She replied.
“But we have been eating..
“Junks” She interrupted, and he rolled eyes.
“Let’s go home, you will cook at home” he said.
“Is that your way of making me go to your house?”
“You should be happy I invited you over” He replied.
“Like I’m happy to go there, I’m not going to your house to cook, I’m not your girlfriend” She scoffed.
“Use common sense, you must not be my girlfriend to cook in my house”
“Landon” She yelled and hit him.
“You want to injure me? Be soft with your hit” He said.
“Are you going with me or not?” He asked.
“I don’t have a choice”
“Let’s shop for ingredients first, I’m lacking them at home”
“Wh@??ver” She said.
They sighted the nearest shop and they went in.
LANDON’S HOUSE*
“Wow! You got a nice place” Manon said, looking around the living room.
“I thought you were not going to admire my house” He said, and she faced him with a frown.
“You are so annoying, where is the kitchen?” She asked.
“I should offer you something to drink first”
“I don’t need it” She snapped, and he laughed.
“Ok, boss lady”
“Don’t call me that” She scoffed loudly, and he laughed.
He took her to the kitchen and she dropped the ingredients on the center table in the kitchen.
“What am I cooking?” She asked. No answer.
She looked back and gasped loudly, he was standing before her.
“What…are you doing?” She stuttered slightly.
“Before you start cooking, I’m thinking about something” He said, staring at her.
“What is it? And you are too close” She uttered.
“You don’t like it” He asked amusingly, and she bit her lips.
“I’m thinking about kissing you” He said straight, and she gasped.
“Huh!!!” Her heart started beating fast.
She looked at him, her eyes blinking.
“You can slap me later, I don’t mind” He said and kissed her. Manon’s body froze as his lips landed on her lips.
He started kissing her but she didn’t reciprocate, she was still in shock to believe this was happening right now.
He slowly broke the kiss, keeping his eyes on her. He suddenly closed her eyes, and she furrowed her brows confusingly.
Two minutes later he opened his eyes and she was staring at him.
“What was that?” She asked slowly.
“I was expecting you to slap me, are you not going to slap me for kissing you without your permission?” He replied.
She looked at his lips instead.
“Can you kiss me again?” She asked in a small voice.
“No” He replied teasingly with a smirk.
“Then can I kiss you back?” She asked, taking in her lower lip.
