"Come on Jason! You have to stop obsessing over that girl" Mike groans.

Theresa Newton, she's eighteen, she's gorgeous, funny, talented, broken and my student. Since the first day I saw her almost pale skin, brown hair and green eyes walk into my class I was captivated.

Mike here, is my older brother and co-worker. He's been bugging me all afternoon to go to that damn strip club.

"Come on man! Please?" I sigh, he said please. He never says please.

"Okay, give me ten minutes to change" I mumble. He grins and pushes me all the way to my room.

I slowly take off my top, grabbing a black blouse to replace it with. I take off my shorts to replace them with dark blue jeans. Putting my work shoes on I look in the mirror. My black shaggy hair is a mess as usual and falling slightly into my green eyes.

"Hurry up" Mile whines. Rolling my eyes I make my way back to the lounge room.

We arrive to the venue. It smells like sex, boos, sweat and vomit. Mike takes a seat in front of the pole dancers as I head to the bar.

"What can I do you for?" The bar keep asks.

"A glass of whiskey please" He nods his head and gets me my drink.

I hear music start and cheers erupt with wolf whistles. Looking up at the stage I see a beautiful set of green eyes, green eyes that look all too familiar.

Her body danced around the pole as though her life depended on it. With such passion and fire dancing in her eyes.

"That's $8 mate" I hear the bar keep say.

I couldn't take my eyes off the lady on the dance floor. A small chuckle from my left brings me out.

"What?" I ask the bar keep.

"That's Blue-Ivy she's the newest dancer and tee most popular" He says pointing to the lady on stage.

"Does she do private shows as well?" Shocking myself by asking.

"Yeah, but she's expensive"

"Can you hook it up for me after her dance?" I ask.

I don't care about the price, I need to know who that lady behind that wig and make-up is. I watch her some more as the bar keep goes to organise a private show for me. Her eyes catch mine and she stumbles slightly. I couldn't help but smile to myself, she stumbled because of me.

Once her dance was over I was escorted to a back room where I waited next to the door for her to walk in. As she does, she goes right past me and stops in the middle of the room. I take this opportunity to walk behind her and place my hand softly on her shoulder.

"Hermoso" I mumble softly into her ear.

She shivers and turns around, shock evident on her face. I kiss her lips tenderly. At first she responds but soon she pulls away.

"I can't" She whispers. Her voice so soft yet so familiar.

"Why not?" I lift her chin up so her beautiful green eyes are looking at me.

"Because I'm...I'm your student Mr Ronaldo, it's Theresa Newton" She pulls off the wig to show her beautiful brown hair.

She looks so insecure all of a sudden, in nothing but a bra and undies. This is Theresa Newton. The gorgeous, smart, talented broken student of mine. Even with the consequences of telling me who she is, she did anyway.

"Theresa, why do you work here?" My gentle tone surprised her.

I watch as she starts to go teary. Every time I see her cry it breaks my heart. I pull her body to mine, wrapping my arms protectively around her body.

"I need to pay the bills somehow" I barely heard her but never the less, I did.

"Don't your parents pay the bills?" She shakes her head

"I haven't seen my parents in years. I ran away when I was fourteen" My body goes stiff, she's been on her own for that long?

"Why?" I ask through clenched teeth.

"Because they abused me Mr Ronaldo. My mother would beat me and my father would rape me" Her cries became harder. Her body shaking with sobs.

"You dance like a queen, despite of all these things, your silhouette captivates me, you're gorgeous Theresa. I've always thought you were, even before today... in fact the only reason my brother and I came here tonight is because I couldn't stop fussing over you. I knew there was something wrong but I didn't know what" I kiss her forehead softly.

"I'm sorry I couldn't have helped you" I murmur.

Looking up at me she leans up and goes to kiss my cheek, I quickly move the last second so she kisses my lips. Her eyes wide as she blushes.

"I-I'm sorry" I laugh softly as she stutters.

"I did that on purpose" She blushes and playfully glares at me.

Chuckling, I take hold of her cheek softly, caressing her skin as her green eyes look I to mine. Leaning forward slowly with a stomach full of butterflies and a fast beating heart I lean my forehead on hers.

"Can I kiss you?" my request shocking her, she blushes and nods her head.

Smiling softly to myself I kiss her lips, bringing her closer she wraps her arms around my neck, tugging at my hair softly. I give her bottom lip a small bite. Slowly, she parts her lips for me. My tongue and hers dancing together as my whole body erupts with tingles and desire.

Gently, I move her so she's against the wall. Without breaking the kiss, it bring my hands to her thighs, making her wrap her legs around my waist. I detach my lips so she can breathe, trailing kisses down her neck softly as she plays with my hair and gasps.

"Come home with me Theresa" I whisper huskily into her ear.

"W-What about your brother?" I smile softly.

"He'll end up at someone else's house for the night no doubt" She takes a shakes breath and nods her head softly.

I set her down onto her own two feet, taking her hand in mine I go to lead her out but she stops.

"What's wrong?" I ask

"I need to get changed and get my money from my desk" She says softly.

"Right, and I believe this is your bosses, and some more for you" She goes wide eyes as I give her the five hundred for the hour and another four hundred for her. smiling I kiss her lips softly.

"Did you want me to wait here? or outside the front?" I ask.

"Come with me?" She offers. Biting her lip softly.

I nod my head and let her lead me back stage. Since other girls are getting changed I had to wait outside the door, soon enough Theresa walks back out in track suit pants and a hoody.

"Hermoso" My voice soft, but she heard it anyway and blushed.

"Mr Ro-"

"Call my Jason" I interrupt.

She nods while blushing, her cheeks so warm as I caress her skin.

"What was it you were going to say beautiful?" I ask, taking hold of her hip softly.

"I can't remember" I chuckle as she blushes once more.

Taking her hand in mine I lead her out of the club and to my car. Texting Mike, telling him not to come home tonight.

"Tell me beautiful, are you still a virgin?"Her eyes go wide as she blushes.

"Well my father took that privilege from me, but I don't have sex for money" She mumbles slightly hurt.

"Sweetheart that's not what I meant to insinuate. You're a gorgeous eighteen year old, most girls your age and with your beauty would have gone to that level of a relationship" She looks down at her lap in my car.

"I'm not like most eighteen year olds" I smile and nod my head.

"Yeah, you're better" A small smile takes form on her beautiful features as she blushes.

"Thank you" I smile and kiss her cheek after parking the car.

"Nothing to thank me for beautiful" I hop out if the car and open her door for her.

Taking her hand in mine I lead her up the stairs to my apartment. I look to see her standing nervously. I kiss her lips tenderly, wrapping my arms around her torso.

"Sweetheart relax a little, I didn't bring you up here for a one night stand, or for sex in general" She looks up at me in shock.

"Really?" I smile and nod my head.

"A beautiful girl like you shouldn't be home alone. Watch a movie with me and stay the night. I'll sleep on the couch if you're my comfortable sharing the bed" She kisses my lips softly.

"Thank you Jason. This is more than what I deserve" I frown slightly.

"Theresa you deserve all of this and more. Now come and watch a movie with me" She nods her head and let's me lead her to the couch.

Sitting down I wrap my arms securely around her as she lays down in front of me. I kiss her cheek softly.

"How long have you had feelings for me?" I'm taken aback by her question.

"I took an unprofessional interest in you since the day you walked into my class in year ten. My romantic feelings for you started to appear when you were in year eleven and they became unbearable during this year" I confess.

"I've liked you since the day you became my teacher" I smile and kiss her temple.

"Do you know how old I am?" I ask, she shakes her head and bites her lip.

"I'm twenty-five" I whisper huskily into her ear. She shivers softly, making me smile.

"Seven year age gap doesn't bother you?" She asks while looking at me.

"It did, but not anymore, what about you? does it bother you?" She shakes her head.

"No, doesn't bother me and I'm not afraid of what people will say because it's not their lives"

Chuckling softly I kiss her nose.

"I love you Theresa" I mentally curse as her eyes go wide.

"I love you too" I smile and relax as I hear those words leave her mouth.

She snuggles into me as we lay in bed, her small form fitting perfectly in my arms I kiss her head goodnight.
