"I got a b?" Elizabeth exhaled loudly and gripped the sheet of paper tight in her hands. "I got a b?" This time feeling sad and a little disappointed. Taking her feelings out on the piece of paper she crumpled it up and shoved it in her bag. This was the first B she had gotten in a long time and it had to be the last. She packed the rest of her belongings up and went to meet Henry in the quad for lunch. Still fuming and totally caught up in her thoughts she didn't notice a group of students sitting on the grass and fell right into the middle of them. Standing quickly she felt flushed with anger and embarrassment she strode quickly towards Henry who was waiting patiently on the bench under the tree with a smirk on his face.
"Hey babe, what's going on?" Henry's voice was soft and warmed her heart. His hands held her shoulders rooting her to ground.
"I got a B" is all Elizabeth could say.
"Ok, that's not a bad grade baby. Most of these students here would love to get a B." Henry couldn't help but smile at her. She was flushed in the face, red creeping over her cheeks and down her neck. He planted a soft kiss on her warm cheek and held her in his arms.
"Henry, I don't get B's. I've never gotten a B ever... it was on a practice paper as well. It won't count towards my grade but if I perform like that in the exams I'll just... eurgh... I can't even think about it" she relaxed into his arms letting him hold her up. With his body against hers she felt whole. She felt complete. Home. They had been dating for 6 months and had taken things further a couple of months ago. Since then they spent all their free time together naked. Every time they were alone, they were naked and it was incredible. The passion was unrelenting and all consuming. It was totally incomparable to anything they had experienced before and was like a drug. They just couldn't get enough of each other.
Elizabeth looked up and met Henry's eyes as their lips met in a soft gentle kiss. His tongue slipped over her lips and into her mouth where they met in unison. Her body starting responding to Henry's kiss as she slipped her hand around his neck, tangling her fingers in his hair, pulling him closer. She felt the familiar wetness start to pool as her stomach did a flip. His hands became more urgent running over her body desperately seeking skin.
They broke apart because they remembered where they were. "Shall, we go to your room and have an active lunch?" whispered a breathless Henry.
She took his hand and led him away...
