Unexpected neighbors

After a rich lunch in Mineralsk, Nastya and Katya went for a walk in the city center. Soon they were in a group of their classmates, and Nastya, wanting to approach the headman, pulled her friend's hand, trying to break through the crowd. But Katya's attempt to have a conversation with him was unsuccessful, and she hid behind Nastya's back.

The headman noticed them and turned around, causing Nastya to feel awkward, and Katya, pretending that Nastya said something funny, laughed loudly. Trying to hide her embarrassment, Nastya realized that she was doing everything possible not to think about her teacher, who seemed to interest her. At that moment, Ksyusha Korenko drew their attention, causing Katya to look dejected.

After a walk through the museum, Nastya thought about how she could get into the networks of her teacher. She was brought out of thought by the sound of laughter behind her back and realized that she had been standing near the stand for a long time about the health benefits of mineral springs. Nastya looked around in search of her class and was surprised that they had already left.

They went to dinner together, and Nastya was looking forward to meeting her teacher. But he was not there again. At the Mineral Plaza Hotel, they were divided into different rooms, and Nastya had to find out who she would live with. Unable to find her name at the meeting, she reached out to staff and learned her room number.

However, when Nastya came to her room, she found her teacher there, who turned out to be naked, wrapped in a towel. Instead of a long explanation, the teacher greeted her with confidence.

An unexpected meeting with a teacher in a hotel room made Nastya freeze in shock. She felt the paint roll over her cheeks like huge red spots, and tried to pull herself together so as not to betray her embarrassment.

The teacher, it seems, did not expect her to come at all and continued to talk calmly, as if nothing unusual had happened. Nastya could not take her eyes off his towel, which seemed less and less a reliable barrier between them.

Words didn't come to Nastya's mind, and she stood silently on the doorstep, feeling every second add to her awkwardness. The teacher approached her, uttering the phrase that "knocking, apparently, is no longer fashionable," and Nastya had the idea that perhaps he had specially arranged this situation.

Nastya had hundreds of questions in her head, but she could not formulate any of them. She felt that moment could change everything, and simultaneously had mixed feelings of fear and excitement. A sparkle flashed in the teacher's eyes, as if he understood her inner conflict, and this only increased her embarrassment.

At that moment, Nastya decided that she needed to act. She let go of her breath, trying to find the strength to overcome the tightness, and took a step forward. Her heart was beating faster than ever, but she knew this was no time for fear.

With a confidence that she did not expect from herself, Nastya looked up and met the teacher's gaze. She smiled and his smile in response was the warmest and most genuine she had ever seen. At that moment, Nastya felt that everything that happened was fate, and she was ready to accept it.

The embarrassment began to dissipate, leaving room for something new and unknown. Nastya realized that this random moment could be the beginning of something more than just a meeting in a hotel room.

The sudden intimacy between Nastya and her teacher in the hotel room created an atmosphere of tension and suspense. Nastya had to contend with an internal conflict between the desire to leave and the thirst to stay and talk.

The teacher, although he maintained an external calm, could not hide the suppressed expression on his face. There was a mysterious glint in his eyes, as if he were reading her mind.

Nastya understood that she needed to make a decision, and quickly. She quelled the panic by focusing on breathing, trying to find the courage within her to break that ridiculous silence. Suddenly, words broke out of her:

"Hello, teacher... I am a... I didn't expect that... what will I find you here.."

Her voice sounded trembling, but she was proud of herself for finally being able to say something. In response, the teacher smiled, his eyes still, as if he were penetrating the very depths of her soul.

"And I didn't expect to meet you here, Nastya," he said softly, his voice sounding somehow warmer than usual.

It seemed to push Nastya to the next step...
