Age is just a number

As if he sensed my tensed body, he quickly placed his hands on my waist. Feeling uncomfortable, he pulled away.

"Sorry about that," he said and left, leaving me worried about what happened. I placed my hand on my chest, trying to calm my pounding heart, then followed him, meeting him up, then I asked him "Bar?"

"Good idea," he nodded. He needs to pour his emotions out.

.....

I looked at him nervously as he finished his second bottle of wine, not just wine, but the one with a very high alcohol level. One small glass would knock me out!

Just as he was about to open another bottle, I snatched it from him and rolled my eyes. "That's enough, Kelvin."

"I want to drink more..."

"No more drinks, Kelvin! I don't know why you want to destroy yourself over her. She isn't even worthy of you," I gritted my teeth. I'm the one fighting for my husband's attention in a relationship. My husband doesn't love me, but I love him. Kelvin loves his girlfriend, but she's into someone else. Not balanced! This life isn't even balanced!!

I checked his chest bag and took some of his money, paid for the drinks. I don't have extra money to waste! Pulling him up, after what felt like ages, we finally reached home. I didn't see Mrs Donovan.

A maid helped me take him to his room. When we entered his bedroom, I was stunned, the same decoration as Timothy's room was same has Kelvin's room. In fact, his curtains, wall brackets, and other decorations were even more expensive.

The first time I entered Timothy's bedroom, I thought it was heaven and imagined we'd be there forever, cuddling on his huge bed. Who knew it would become my nightmare?

Kelvin sat up the moment we placed him on the bed. "Are you okay?" He stayed quiet, probably because of the maid. I giggled and looked at her. "Excuse us for a bit, I'll be out in a minute."

"Okay, ma'am," she said, but she looked worried. "What happened to the young master? Why is he drunk?" She frowned. "It's rare to see him like this."

"He's going through a lot, so I took him to a bar to pour out his emotions," I sighed.

"Really? And madam accepted..."

"Who is this? Get your ass out!" Kelvin hissed.

The maid flinched and bowed. "Sorry, young master," and then ran away.

Kelvin hissed again and lay on his back, placing his hand on his forehead and closing his eyes.

"How are you feeling?" I chuckled, checked the time on my wristwatch, and shook my head. "I should be on my way. I hope you'll start focusing on your studies tomorrow."

No response. I rolled my eyes and turned toward the door. "Okay, Kelvin, I'm off."

"Wait," I heard his low voice. I took a deep sigh and turned back. "But I'm late."

He got down from the bed and walked toward me, staring straight into my eyes.

"Is there something you want to tell me, Mr Kelvin?" Well, I can't wait to hear him thanking me, since it will benefit both parties.

Seeing how close he was, I frowned and stepped back. He kept following until my back hit the wall. "Uhmm," I laughed awkwardly and pushed him lightly.

"Distance, please. Are you okay?"

In the next moment, he held my jaw and lifted my face. I stared into his green eyes in shock. "What are you doing?" Was that even a question? He's drunk and clearly not in his right mind!

I was even more surprised when his thumb brushed my lower lip. I blinked several times, trying to read his expression. I frowned and tried to push him away.

"Respect, please!" I said in disbelief.

Suddenly, he grabbed my hands and raised them above my head. "Cynthia..." he murmured, then placed his soft lips on mine and kissed me.

I froze. Cynthia? That must be his ex-girlfriend's name. Ohhhh...he mistook me for her? From experience, I knew it wasn't easy, but he had no choice but to move on.

"Hmmm," he moaned as he deepened the kiss, slipping into my mouth without warning and devouring my lips. When have I ever been kissed like this? I was about to respond when I suddenly realised, what the heck am I doing?!

"Hmmm... It's been a long time since we kissed like this," his moan made me even more uncomfortable. I was once married, and my body is sensitive.

Lisa! This is forbidden!

Using all my strength, I pushed him away. I raised my hand to slap him but stopped midway. Calm down, he's drunk and only mistook you for his ex. I shoved him back onto the bed and rushed out of his room.

What he did at his ex's house still bothered me. How could he suddenly touch me like that and act like it was nothing? I'm not even the type of woman he should mess with. I'm old enough to be his elder sister. I'm very sure his ex is his age.

Nineteen dating nineteen!

By the time I reached home, Sofia was already asleep. I intentionally walked home to clear my head. I can't believe this. I'm insane.

"Lisa, you're a terrible person. How can you crush on your student on the first day?" I grunted. "You don't deserve this job!"

Sitting in front of the mirror, my gaze fell on my lips. Those lips on mine... they were so soft. "Now I understand," I nodded.

At first, I was only amazed by his good looks. Then I became curious about why he touched me like that. Now he kissed me. That isn't even my fault!

Thinking about how passionate the kiss was made me feel things I shouldn't. Maybe they're right, someone's body becomes sensitive after being touched before.

I rarely feel like this when I'm still a virgin. I rushed into the bathroom, hoping it would subside. I can't believe I reacted this way over a nineteen-year-old boy!

After standing under the shower for a long time, I finally felt better. I came out calmer. "I should put him in his place."

....

The next day.

"Why do you have dark circles? Didn't you sleep?" Sofia asked in confusion. She sat beside me as I ate absent-mindedly. "Did you cry?"

Then she added, "I understand it's not easy. Are you sad because you couldn't handle him? You aren't the only teacher who failed to teach the dragon son!"

"Hmmm," I chuckled. Wouldn't it be better if I were rejected? I wouldn't be happy, but at least my mental health would be fine, and there won't be sleepless nights. "Actually, nothing happened. I'm just stressed because I never reached before."

"Really?" she smiled happily. "Your job is still stable! Then why are you ohhh, you stressed yourself too much, hehehe. I was wondering why you came back almost at midnight."

Unable to bear the teasing, I quickly grabbed my bag and left. Stepping down from the taxi, I stared nervously at the Donovan's gate. Jeezzz... I'm about to face this boy again!!
