I Kissed My Professor And He Liked It novel Chapter 349

Ella’s POV

2 years later

Asher woke me up bright and early as he did every morning. He’s lucky I love him so much. Colton wasn’t in bed when I woke up, which made me worried for about 2 seconds before I remembered that he told me he had to clean up his stuff from the arena that morning.

It was his last day as a professor and as much as says he’s happy and relieved about it, I can still see the sadness in his eyes. He was going to miss this job. I told him that he could continue being a teacher even after I graduate, but he said his pack needs him more than the school does and now that the boys are going to be living in the packhouse full-time, he wants to be there too.

I was secretly happy when he said that because I didn’t want to return to our home without him.

Asher’s screaming grew louder and soon, Cooper was awake and babbling way.

I sighed and slid out of bed.

“I’m coming,” I announced to the open room as I made my way into the hallway, shutting the bedroom door behind me.

Once I reached Asher and Cooper’s room, I turned the knob and stepped inside.

“Mama!!” Cooper cheered excitedly from his crib.

I smiled at my happy boy and then went over to Asher’s crib where he was still whaling. His face was all red and tears poured out of his eyes.

“What’s wrong, baby?” I asked him as I scooped him out of his crib and held him close to my chest.

He buried his face in my chest and his little body trembled. I bounced him a few times until he calmed down and all that was left was some soft sniffles.

When I felt Asher’s head, I frowned.

“You’re burning up,” I said, worried lacing my tone. It took a lot for Volana wolves to get sick, but I suppose it was different for babies and toddlers.

I carried Asher out of his room and into the kitchen; I opened the cabinet I kept the medicine in and frowned at the little selections that I had. We really didn’t need medicine often, so there wasn’t much in the cabinet.

I sighed and leaned against the counter, holding Asher tightly as he shivered into my chest. I needed to do something, or he was going to be miserable today.

It didn’t take long for me to come up with an idea. I walked down the hallway and into my bedroom where I left my phone charging on the nightstand. I grabbed the phone and I saw Colton’s name flash across the screen.

I smiled at the text he sent me.

Colton: If I don’t see you until later, good luck today! I love you.

His text made my heart swell, and I couldn’t help the goofy smile on my lips. I couldn’t believe that he still had this effect on me a few years later. With a pounding heart, I scrolled through my contacts until I came across Rachel’s name.

I clicked her name and pressed the phone to my cheek while it rang.

“Hello?” She answered the fourth ring.

I was honestly surprised she was even awake right now, but I knew she was close to the school nurse and could help me out.

“I need a favor,” I said without any other greeting. “Asher is burning up and I need fever reducer.”

“And you want me to go to the nurse and grab you some?” She finished my sentence for me.

I nodded but then felt ridiculous because she couldn’t see me.

“If it’s not too much trouble,” I said, biting my lower lip and feeling bad that I was pulling Rachel away so early in the morning.

I could hear her shuffling out of bed, and I winced knowing that she was in bed relaxing, and I just disrupted her morning.

“I’m sorry,” I murmured. “If you’re busy, I can—”

“I’m already out of bed,” she said stopping my words. “Let me just get some clothes on and I’ll be there as soon as I can.”

“I appreciate you so much, Rach,” I breathed, feeling a wave of relief washing over me.

“I told you I’d help you whenever you needed it and I’m true to my word,” she reminded me.

“Mama!! I’m hungry!” I heard Cooper yelling from his room.

“I’ll see you soon, Rachel. Thanks again,” I said to her as I hung up the phone.

I carried Asher into the living room where I sat him on the couch and put on Cocomelon, his and Cooper’s current favorite show. Once the living room was filled with little kids’ music, I went into their bedroom and scooped up a very eager Cooper.

Cooper was the happy and hyper boy and Asher was a bit more mellow. But they were pretty wild when they were together, and Asher isn’t sick.

“What would you like for food?” I asked him as we stepped out of his room and toward the kitchen.

“Pancakes!” He cheered.

I smiled at my toddler as I placed him in his highchair.

“Pancakes it is,” I said fondly as I went over to the freezer and pulled out the pack of frozen mini pancakes.

I put a few on a plate and popped them into the microwave. After I sent the timer, I made both Asher and Coope a juice cup and I gave Cooper one before I went into the living room to check on Asher.

He was curled up on the couch with his stuffed bear, staring mesmerized at the television.

“How are you feeling, sweetie?” I asked as I bent down beside him.

I felt his head and frowned at how hot his forehead was. He groaned miserably as his eyes found mine.
