"You did wonderfully. The kids really liked you." Ella smiled at the beautiful blonde across from her.
Simone had always been beautiful, it seemed as though she was even more beautiful as time had passed.
"Aria used to really look up to you." Ella commented with a smirk.
"What's that look for?" Simone laughed as she moved around Ella's desk to stand beside her.
"What look?" Ella laughed as she shuffled some papers on her desk.
"You know exactly what look I am referring to Miss Montgomery." Simone smiled sheepishly.
Ella knew from past experience exactly what this conversation was leading to; she was just as powerless to object as she was any other time. Even despite knowing it was wrong and that the consequences could be severe.
"Do you mean the look that says if-she-knew-what-we-were-doing-she-wouldn't-have-looked-up-to-you?" Ella smirked as she walked from behind her desk and shut the classroom door.
"That, Ella, is exactly the look that I mean." Simone smiled as she approached the mother of her former charge.
It had been a long time since either had seen one another, but things seemed like they hadn't changed at all. Simone had been about the age Aria was now when she had offered to babysit for the Montgomery's. At first things had started out just as normally as anything but then something between Ella and Simone changed. It hadn't mattered that Ella was significantly older or married and it didn't matter that Simone was working for them and that Aria had looked up to her. No one but them had needed to know. No one but them ever did.
Now that Simone had returned to Rosewood to visit her parents after becoming a published author things seemed just as chemical as they had all those years ago. So chemical, that their only catalyst was being together.
"I've missed you Ella." Simone breathed as she approached the older woman.
Ella felt her hands become engulfed by Simone's slender fingers which squeezed her gently.
"I missed you too." Ella sighed.
Simone lifted Ella's chin with the tips of her fingers and placed a tender kiss upon her soft lips. A sigh escaped both as they came apart.
"I've missed that too." Simone smiled before leaning in for another, more passionate, kiss.
As the kiss deepened, Ella found herself being willingly pushed so that her back lay against the wall. Each woman's hands had moved eagerly to the others waists with a gentle pressure and kneading thumbs against hips.
"We shouldn't be doing this..." Ella breathed before leaning back into the kiss and moving her hands towards Simone's breasts.
"You're right... we shouldn't be..." Simone husked as she hurriedly began to unbutton Ella's shirt which promptly fell loose on the brunette's shoulders.
Ella felt that same electric feeling exploding inside her as she had years ago at the touch of Simone's soft fingertips. The electricity inside her continued to grow as Simone rid herself of her own shirt and threw it to the ground. A moment of brief appreciation of each woman's body passed before Simone gripped Ella's face and took her in another passionate kiss. Ella responded by pulling the blonde against her with the encouragement of fingers on her bum.
"I need you." Simone whispered hungrily as she broke their kiss.
"Not here." Ella breathed with a struggle.
She wanted this too. One last time before Simone went away for good. One last time before they continued with their separate lives.
"Later?" Simone asked hopefully as she looked into Ella's dark brown eyes.
Ella bit her lip before smiling.
"I can't say no to you." She laughed.
Simone leant forward and stole another kiss before tugging on her shirt and leaving the Rosewood classroom with a smile.
Ella breathed a sigh of relaxed happiness before letting a large smile spread across her face. She threw one last glance towards the door that Simone had left through before buttoning her shirt and exiting out of it herself.
