Did she want her very hot teacher and neighbor looking where she had gotten a boo-boo?
Yes and no. This was embarrassing.
“It’s fine.”
“Teal, let me look.”
When he spoke like that, how could she argue?
She bent down and pulled up her jean leg as far as she could. Her track pants were a mess. She’d completely wiped out the knee part.
“Ouch,” Jaxson said.
“Yeah, it’s fine.” The bleeding had stopped quite quickly. “It looks worse than it feels.”
“It looks like there is dirt in this. We need to clean it up. Do you have a first-aid kit?”
She thought about it and shook her head. “No.”
“No cleaning kit? You’re a teenager.”
Did he see her wince? “I’ve never been the clumsy kind of kid,” she said.
“Lucky parents.”
Yeah, and she had no idea why she was falling now. It wasn’t like she’d truly been lost in thought. Not that being in her own head had ever been a problem before.
She fell, and the class had laughed. So much fun. She’d cleaned up her leg as best she could and had forgotten about it. Until now.
“I’ll be back,” Jaxson said.
Teal watched his retreating back and heard the door open and close. He’d left.
Her jean leg was still pulled up to just her knee. Did she keep it like that?
The door opened and closed again. Seconds later, Jaxson stood in the kitchen and held a bag on his shoulder. “Come on, have a seat and turn the stove off.”
“It’s fine, honestly. It doesn’t even hurt.”
“I’m still going to clean it. We don’t want that thing to get infected.”
She had no idea if there was a risk of infection. Eitherway, his commanding voice struck her hard and fast.
Teal brushed past him, heading into the dining room. Still no pictures in the room, and there were a couple of boxes up against the far wall.
“Sit,” he said.
She lowered her butt to the chair and waited.
Jaxson crouched down in front of her.
Holy wow, this was… She had no choice but to focus and to hope that she didn’t make a fool of herself.
****
This was a big mistake.
Jaxson knew he shouldn’t have come to her door.
