Grell stood in front of her bed staring at the last of the two outfits she had chosen for the evening dinner with her professor.
A pastel pink dress that was casual but nice, and a bit more formal little black cocktail dress. She stared them both feeling a tug of disagreement in her head.
"These both look good but, I don't want it be sexy..." she said aloud.
Sebastian was being rather good to her. He made sure she was well taken care of. Why would she ever be rude to him about something like this?
The door opened up behind as Angelina came in excited with her phone tightly in her grip. "Guess who made it into the internship at the hospital of her dreams?!"
"Wait, really?!" She hugged her sister patting her back. "That's great news! Amazing news!"
Angelina smiled fluttering her tears away. "I got in! That means I'll get to be the family doctor. Don't you dare think of going to anyone else."
"I wouldn't dream of it. Have any hints as to your specialty?" She held her hands feeling a bit of saddened by the news. "How long will you be here for?"
"I'll be starting in a few months. Definitely a couple of months. But, I'll come visit. You know I will." Her focus went onto the dresses. "Are those for the date I set up for you?"
"Uh, yeah. I need I tie breaker. Can you help?"
Angelina tapped her chin picking up the pastel dress. "This one. It'll show your long legs and cute butt. Besides, it has just enough cleavage for the both of you."
She laughed taking the dress from her. "And what are you saying about the black dress?"
"It says, I'm here for a nice dinner and maybe a dance. No touching."
"Perfect." She took the pink one hanging it on one of the hooks behind her door. She began looking for accessories to match.
"What's that dress for?"
"Oh this? I'm having dinner tonight with Professor Michaelis."
"Oh?" Angelina picked it up, studying it. "Maybe you could use that cute red one that shows off more leg and shoulder?"
"Ann, stop. I'm going because, he wants to make sure I'm okay." She found simple but elegant jewellery putting them aside. "It's just dinner, not a date."
"It should be~" She went through the closet pulling out a short dress that would hug her body tightly. "Now this is a dress."
"No! I don't want to come off as someone to sleep with the professor for grades!"
"Or, you could just sleep with the professor because you can. He's totally hot. I mean, I'll take him if you won't."
"Angelina...I-"
"I'm joking...kind of. I'll still take the offer on being 'teacher's pet'. He'd definitely be a good lover."
Grell moved closer placing her hands on her shoulders. "I need to tell you something Ann. I, I actually have slept with Michaelis."
She laughed pinching her sister's cheeks. "I knew you could do it! So, how good was he?! Much better Aleistor?"
"He's- I-" She took a deep breath moving her hands away. "It happened after Aleistor died. I was lonely and desperate and...and...he was really, really good. But, I shouldn't have slept the teacher."
"That shouldn't be a problem! He's an adult and so are you." Angelina sat her down on the bed. "As long as you're not sleeping with him for the grade."
"Don't you get it! I shouldn't have done it at all!"
"Grell." she said with a more serious tone. "I know what this is and, I went through it too. You're afraid of becoming like mother. I was too."
"Ann-"
"It's okay to want a an older man. I have had my own scandalous events too. He's sweet, handsome, and cares for you. I wish my own partners wanted to care for me like he does for you."
Grell shut her mouth staring at her. She held her hands feeling the confusion still going through her head." I don't know. I just feel like I shouldn't be. I like William. I want another date. Much more dates."
" Oh god. You have a real crush...that's adorable! God, I want to call eh, my friend. Tell him it's cancelled or whatever."
"Oh no, don't do that. Like I said, I'll go on it but, don't expect me to make it to a second date."
Angelina wrapped her arm around her younger sister pushing their foreheads together. "Trust me when I say how much you've grown. You can make your own decisions. If you want to go for William, go for it. If you want to go for Mr. Michaelis go for it. I'll be here to support you."
"Thanks Ann." She hugged her up tightly feeling a bit better. "Now, I have to get ready for this dinner."
She got up patting her rear. "Just make sure your okay. If you need a get out card, text me. I'll go pick you up."
Grell groaned rubbing her butt. "Thanks for that." She shooed her sister closing the door behind her. She groaned staring at the other dress. As much as she looked good in it, she wasn't going to wear it.
Sebastian parked in front of the familiar house fixing his suit. He emerged from the car making his way to the door. His eyes scanned the nearby houses knocking on the door.
Grell answered in the cocktail dress. She smiled seeing him there. "Hello Professor." She fixed her gown getting her evening bag. "Ready to go."
He was speechless. She looked so classy and elegant. The perfect ideal look for a romantic evening. More of these would follow. Even when he decides to propose one day.
"You look amazing."
She giggled shutting the door behind her. "Thank you so much. You look really handsome."
"Thank you. I hope you like home cooking?" He held his arm out for her taking her away from her home.
He drove them away to his home. He kept gazing back at her body. Her long legs seemed to give out a silent invitation. Her hair held up for him to almost imagine the future markings of his own on the milky flesh.
"I'm really honoured that you decided to join me, Ms. Sutcliffe."
"Oh please, it's the least I can do. I owe you a lot for what you've done for me."
He smiled the whole way there. His heart fluttered like when he was a school boy. This young woman would make him the happiest he'd ever been.
He would need to abandon his flat for a home. Maybe three to five bedrooms. A large yard for a garden she'd keep. Three or more children for them to raise. A boy and two girls. The boy first to watch over his sisters.
"Professor?"
He broke from thoughts looking at her. "Yes Grell?"
"Are we here?"
"Yes, yes we are." He parked the car helping her out. "I hope you don't mind my tiny flat. I plan on getting a house soon."
"I don't mind it at all. What kind of house are you planning on getting? I hope it won't become an inconvenience for you to get to the university?"
"It won't be a problem at all. I think it's about time for a change in my life."
He took her to the elevator keeping his eyes on her. Someone of her age could have a long happy life at his side. 'She's so beautiful. Our children will be beyond so with our genetics.' he thought.
She turned her head seeing the way he looked at her. The guilt still very present in her heart. "Do I look alright?"
"More than alright. You look perfect."
He lifted her chin slipping his arm around her waist. He dipped down kissing her passionately. Her body felt weak to his touch kissing back. The words of her sister still in her head.
She pushed him off on her better judgement looking at him. "Sorry, that was a bit of a surprise."
"I hope it wasn't too much." He kept his arm around her waist. That kiss wasn't enough for him. It was just gave him a taste to increase his hunger for her.
The elevator stopped making him release her. They walked to the flat having him unlock the door. He took her coat and bag." I hope you like my small home."
"Are you kidding?" she replied scanning across the room. "This place is so spacious for a flat." She walked towards kitchen taking in the scent of the food hidden away in the oven. "Smells amazing."
"Just wait until you taste it." He moved passed her pulling out a chair for her at the table. "Please, rest a bit and I'll get everything together."
She looked around at the sleek interior. Black, white, and dark grey colours lined the walls and furniture like on the pages of some magazine. The design was more than enough to give it the vibe of a single man.
A digital frame was visible off the nearby counter top. Photos of himself at different locations in time. She smiled feeling a bit jealous. "I guess you travelled a lot?"
"Yeah, I have have a bit of money from family so, once a year I take a month long trip...it would've been more pleasant to have a someone with me."
"I can imagine travelling alone isn't as nice as with someone else." She sighed dreaming of what romantic getaways she's always wanted to be on. "I've dreamed of going to Italy and Australia."
"You've never been?"
"No. I've been to France, Germany, and Ireland. My family would stay no more than a few days to a week."
Sebastian brought out the plates of food and a bottle of merlot. He made a mental note to make sure they would travel before starting a family or even afterwards.
"I hope you like it. I made crêpes stuffed with ratatouille. Just wait for the second dish." He lit the candles making the atmosphere much more romantic.
The first course was amazingly pleasant with no hints of sexual tones within it. It was like a real dinner date between them. It was blessing to Grell, making her more comfortable.
Sebastian brought out the second dish. Ricotta crêpes with honey, walnuts and rose. He placed them onto the table giving her a glass of moscato. "To us, and all of our happiness."
She lifted her glass up giving his a small bump. "To our happiness." She took a small sip before cutting into her food. "You're an amazing chef, professor."
"Oh please, this is nothing. Like most people, it took a couple of tries to get it this good. And please, call me Sebastian outside of school."
Hearing her praise was enough to make him melt. His love was pleased with his meals. If he would make it happen that evening, he'd take her as his bride.
" Okay. Thank you for all of this, Sebastian."
He could have cooed in adoration. He decided to hold off any further action of his affection until after they finished eating.
They finished the meal with a good three empty bottles of wine resting on the table. Grell had taken most of it feeling her head get a tiny bit too fuzzy. Too much of a lightweight.
"Are you alright?" asked Sebastian holding her hand in his.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little too much wine."
He helped her up moving to her side. "Would you like to get more comfortable? We can relax for a bit?" His arm wrapped around her waist.
"That would be nice."
That was all he needed. He picked her up bridal style, carrying her to the bedroom. An image of her in wedding dress filled his head. A perfect way to ending an evening such as that.
He placed her onto the bed hovering over her. Licking his lips he removed her heels, making her comfortable.
"Sebastian?"
The light sound of her voice made him hard. "Yes Grell?"
She sat up gazing at him. "You're so handsome..." Dragging him down, crashing her lips on his.
He moaned kissing her back. This is what he wanted. Her wanting him like this. He'd being sharing his bed with her. His home. Slipping his tongue into her mouth, his hands moved up her thighs.
She had a moment of clarity. She pushed away licking her lips. "We should stop this."
"Should we really?" He kissed down her neck playing with the lace of her panties. "I don't want to. I want all of you." In one move, he removed them tossing them somewhere behind him.
Her breath stopped getting more aroused. The delicious way her body felt made her fall deeper under the spell of bad decisions and alcohol.
He undid his pants pushing into her before she could even think of making him wear protection. He began to thrust, distracting her with kisses and groping her body.
Grell's body was so willing in the pleasure it was given. Head spinning and fogged with no care. Her legs hooks around his waist helping him get in deeper.
Sebastian gave her all of the attention he could as he continued to thrust. After some time, he released with all of his intent. Kissing her over and over, caressing her face.
"I love you."
Grell lifted her head still out of it. "You love me?"
"I do. I love you."
She didn't know what do you. What to say. She kissed him deeply holding onto him. "You're so amazing."
Sebastian took it as a positive answer. He pulled out stripped them down. He tucking her into bed with her fast asleep. He kissed the top of her head cuddling with her. He slipped himself back inside her. Intoxicated or not, he was going to make sure he poured as many loads as he could before helping her go home in the morning.
