S is for the simple need
E is for the ecstasy
X is just to mark the spot
'cause that's the one you really want
Sex is always the answer,
It's never a question,
'cause the answer's yes
Oh the answer's Yes
Not just a suggestion
If you ask a question
Then it's always yes
Nickelback – S.E.X

"No, Jesse. I can't just forget this ! Kissing your teacher is never a good idea, why would you think I could just pretend it never happened ?" Shelby felt the butterflies in her stomach try to beat her for stopping him, but she needed to ignore them. She needed to get out of that situation and think it through. She needed some time alone, some time far away from him, where she could get a clear thought, without stupid butterflies attacking her. But getting away wasn't as simple as it could have been, if she just had her keys with her.
Trapped in the auditorium with him and ONLY him, she had no chance but face him and fight her inner butterflies.
Cursing silently she went off of the stage and sat down in the first row.
How did we even get into this situation?
Getting them stranded in the auditorium was easy. She was pretty sure the butterflies had trapped them there, because while she was going through the school again, thinking she was the last one there, making sure she was, her mind wandered to Jesse and his last performance that day. Normally she never entered a room without her keys, just in case the cleaning lady closed a room up without looking in first. Today wasn't a normal day. Jesse's performance had been more than flawless and he had performed Nickelback's S.E.X, which left her totally distracted and not able to function properly.
She had gone to the auditorium, because she saw one of the doors shut, just as she looked around a corner. Finding Jesse inside, she was a little surprised to see him still in school. It was almost midnight and the cleaners might be closing up every room already.
Jesse had been searching for her, trying to ask her why she had ended rehearsal so abruptly. She never did that ! Telling him she had thought her kids might like some more freetime, she hoped he would just go home and never ask again. He knew her well enough to know when she was lying and in that moment, he knew.
"You would never ! Just tell me the real reason, you know I can keep my mouth shut. If it is because of Rachel, she loves you... She just needs time ! If it is because of me… I can work harder, I can be better if you want me to !"
"No, nothing like that ! I … I know Rachel needs time and I fully understand it, I can wait ! You were flawless today, there is no way you could actually do better ..." Don't sound so enthusiastic! He's a kid ! "... ehm … I just think the others can't keep up with you vocally, we need to work on that ! Maybe some freetime will help them focus !"
"It wont ! And you never say things like that, you always told us, we could only get better if we worked harder. This is your way of doing things and it became our way of doing things, too. I don't understand why you act so weird right now ! You said it yourself... I was flawless, so why let them go home ? You should have kept them here 'til tomorrow, or at least until they pass out ! That's how you do things !"
"Just go home Jesse, I don't need to remind you that I am the adult in here and I can make decisions like these on my own, without you telling me what to do !" That came out a little more defensive than she wanted and Jesse was surprised to see his coach break eye-contact. She never acted this way. He saw she was uncomfortable and decided to let it slide, for her own sake.
On his way out, he acted like nothing happened: "See you tomorrow in rehearsal !"
She was relieved that he had no intentions to make everything even more complicated and watched him make his way to the door.
When he couldn't open it, both of them took a deep breath. It might mean they would have to spend the night at the auditorium.
"Please tell me you have a key ?", he asked tense. She looked down at her hands, being surprised about herself, knowing she never went anywhere without her damn keys.
"I... I think I left them in my office."
"Maybe the other doors are still open." He went to the one of the other doors, she tried to open another.
Five minutes later, they hadn't found a way out. They weren't even able to get backstage, every single door was closed.
Shelby was angry at herself for getting into this. She was even more angry at herself for being here with Jesse. If she hadn't let them go home early, he wouldn't have come here, she would be trapped alone. That would have been way more comfortable, considering the fact that she couldn't get his performance out of her head.
"So we might need to find a way to get through the night. It's five after midnight so we only have... what … five or six hours to fill?"
"Six ! I'm the only one who's here at five. You wanna sleep?"
"No, I'm good ! You trained me to need music more than sleep, remember ?"
"Don't even start !" She got defensive again, leaving him stunned at how fast he could manage to make her uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry. I … I didn't want to hurt you with any of that ! I just don't know why you changed so suddenly !" He sounded really concerned, which made her stomach fill with butterflies. They danced just because he cared so much.
She needed to get them under control before they made her do something really, really inappropriate. Mentally slapping each and every one of these freakin' butterflies, she tried to find an excuse for her actions.
"I... I... I just don't feel good today. That whole situation with Rachel was a little stressful. Just... can we just talk about something else ?"
He looked at her, not knowing if he could believe her right now, but stopping himself from asking any more questions. He needed to calm down. He needed to find a way to make her comfortable again.
For almost an hour they talked about setlists and choreographies and she really felt better in that time, still having butterflies in her stomach, but she was able to shut them up a little or at least ignore them as good as she could.
"Maybe we should do S.E.X for invitationals, you said it was flawless !"
That made her jump a little, reminding her of his performance earlier wasn't the best idea.
This time he saw the expression on her face clearly. She had closed her eyes for a second, trying to erase the image of him standing on that stage, singing that sex was the only answer. She was tense, breathing deep and shivering under his touch, when he put his hand on her arm. She just wanted to make sure she was OK, that she wasn't mad at him for bringing it up, even if he still didn't know why she had been mad in the first place.
When he felt her shiver slightly, his own little butterflies screamed in ecstasy, knowing she somewhat felt that connection between them, too. These butterflies might have been the reason for the next thing he did.
He leaned close to her, giving her a light kiss on the lips. There was that little spark, that tiny little spark, telling him he did the right thing. He knew she felt it too, because she wasn't pushing him back, yelling at him how wrong it was. He even felt her lean into the kiss, just a second before she backed away, standing up, yelling at him.
"No, Jesse! No, this … no … we can't... no... it's just not right ! I'm your teacher for Christ's sake !"
"I...I'm sorry, maybe we could just forget this ! I was stupid... I'm so sorry !"
"No, Jesse. I can't just forget this ! Kissing your teacher is never a good idea, why would you think I could just pretend it never happened ?"
Right, that's how she got into that situation, but where was the way out ?
