Garnet gave a sigh and rubbed at her eyes. She groaned and looked at her alarm clock, checking for the time. 2:35 stared at her in flashing green. She sat up and looked at the woman sitting at the foot of her bed.
"Do you 'ave any idea what time it is?" She mumbled, hand pushing her hair away from her eyes.
"I… I have to leave… This was a mistake…" The woman stood and grabbed her shoes, making for the door. Garnet jumped out of bed and grabbed her hand, stopping her from fleeing.
"Pearl, please… Why do you 'ave to leave?"
"Because, Garnet! I'm your TEACHER! Do you have any idea how much trouble we could get in if we-" she broke off into sobs, collapsing against Garnet's chest.
"Pearl… I'm 24. You're only 29. It's completely legal," She tugged her gently towards the bed, sitting down and pulling her onto her lap. As she cried she looked her over, knowing exactly what she'd done to her. Dark blue blotches marred her neck and shoulders, small bite marks spread here and there. Garnet was quite proud of her handy work.
"I know, but still! I'm your teacher and we can't change that and I just- I love you Garnet!" The confession caught her off guard and she froze, stiffening noticeably. This only caused Pearl to cry harder, sobbing uncontrollably. "A-and I probably just ruined everything! You probably d-don't even feel the same about me, who could!? I'm boring, and I don't-" Garnet stopped her rambling with a kiss, cupping her cheeks and kissing her with desperation. When they broke apart, Pearl's eyes met hers and she smiled, completely entranced by the baby blues.
"I love you too, Pearl." She pressed another kiss against her lips, resting their foreheads together.
"I… I-I still really need to leave… If anyone sees me, we'll- And I need a change of clothes or people will know I've been…" Garnet nodded and set her back on the floor, grabbing her hand and leading her to the front door. Pearl stood in the open door, clothes half on, shoes untied, and bag hanging half on half off her shoulder. She fiddled her fingers for a moment before looking up at Garnet through her lashes.
"Thank you. For everything… The sex was…" Her mouth broke out into a sideways grin and Garnet chuckled, leaning down to give her a kiss.
"I know. We should do it again sometime. Maybe we could go for longer next time too." Pearl's eyes widened and she blushed dark red.
"I don't think I could survive…" Her voice was barely a whisper and Garnet laughed.
"Only kidding! We'll work our way up to it," she gave her another kiss and walked with her to her car. "I guess I'll see you in class later today, Miss White." She winked and opened the car door for her, closing it after her. Pearl shook her head and waved, starting her car and driving away. Garnet watched until she turned the corner and spun in place, walking back into her house. She fist pumped and grinned goofily, making a high pitched whooping sound. "Oh, God, I'm in love with that woman!" She sighed and headed back to bed, heart filling with warmth at the thought of seeing her again. She climbed into bed and sighed happily, pressing her nose against her pillow. It smelled like her. She hoped it would stay that way.
