"Please, Elsa I won't ask you for anything else so long as we live!" Belle pleaded, tugging on my hand like a child. I seriously doubt that. I sighed, running a hand through my hair.
"Geez, Belle, why not bring your whole farm next time. Seriously, saddle up that Clydesdale of yours, bring him tomorrow instead of your Bug and you got yourself a deal." I suggested, eyeing her Great Dane with as much interest as a cat to another cat. It's got slobber pooling out of its mouth.
"I'll take care of your first two classes." She batted her eyes at me.
"Why can't you take him? He's your dog after all." I asked. Said dog suddenly reached a giant paw out to me and tilted his head in that cute way that dogs did. I felt myself swaying a bit. He is kinda cute.
"See look, he likes you." She handed the leash over and I held out my own hand to her. May as well get something out of it too.
"Why on earth did you set up the appointment today?" I groaned at her puppy-dog eyes.
"I-I don't know, this was the only day they had availible- so is that a yes?" Brown eyes lit up with so much hope you think I'd found a cure for cancer. She was so transparent it was insane.
"This is because of that hot vet isn't it?" I watched her face flush, but didn't wait for an answer. "Give me your keys. No way is this horse of a dog getting in my car." As she handed those over too, I lead her dog back to her car, wondering why she even let him out in the first place. "Oh, and I'm totally gonna set up a date for the two of you. Not to mention that we're gonna go on a joy ride, right Gaston?" I asked the dog, patting his head.
"Elsa, I swear if you do something like that-" she stuttered, flushing once more. Pfft! What a girl.
"You'll thank me, now get outta the way before we run you over." I gestured to her even before I got in the car. Seriously, that woman. Can't even take her dog in for his shots because the guy's hot.
"I owe you one!" She pointed a finger gun at me and I honked the horn at her.
"You owe me a lot more than one." I glared at her as we drove by at a snail's pace before taking off and heading to the clinic.
Once there, I checked the dog in and while I waited, I wondered how Belle was handling my students and had secretly hoped she wouldn't ask me to do something like this again. Mainly because I just wanted to see a particular redhead. Thinking about Anna quickly distracted me as I smiled dreamily, forgetting about what I was doing and when the dog heard his name he yanked me away. Whoa what a smart dog! I thought as he tugged me to a tall, well built fine-haired guy with teeth so white, I was glad I had my sunglasses on.
"There's the guy!" He exclaimed at the dog turned to a puppy that waggled all around him as the guy rubbed the beast down and when he looked back at me, he finally straightened.
"You're not Belle." He stated. No shit, Sherlock.
"Yeah, no, I'm Elsa. Belle's... busy this morning." I shrugged and when he held out his hand, I hesitated, wondering if his hands were clean. Of course not! They were all over that mutant dog. I took it anyway, hoping to get this over with as quick as possible because he was suddenly looking at me differently.
"So, how do you know Belle?" He asked when the dog jumped on him.
"Oh. She's my sister." I lied. Seriously, guy. Back off.
"She's sweet. Are you single?" Bingo! I knew he'd ask. I rolled my eyes, leaning against the wall.
"Nope. I have a girlfriend. Now, is Gaston going to get his shots, or not? I have classes to teach and my girlfriend to see later." Ooo..I think I like that. With shivers taking over my body, I raised a brow at the jerk who nodded and took the dog to the back, leaving me to my suddenly happy thoughts. That was until another ugly thought crossed my mind.
Belle had better watch who she crushes on because that jackass is a big time playboy.
"Are you hungover Ms. P? Or are you late on purpose?" Eric was the first to speak up once they settled down and I took my sunglasses off finally happy to get away from that clinic.
"No, that was yesterday and may I warn you: Do not drink. It feels good at first and then sucks when everything's said and done." I sat down, taking out a few papers. "actually, I just got back from my... smoke-break." Waiting for someone to say something, I raised an eyebrow.
"You wished you smoked." Finally Merida spoke and I threw my hands up, looking at them dumbly. Anna rolled her eyes and looked back down at the paper she was currently scribbling on.
"I thought I was the only one dragging today. Must be Monday, right?" I asked and a few students groaned in agreement. "By the way, no smoking either. I'd like to see all of you this healthy ten years down the road."
"But, you just admitted you were hungover yesterday." Aurora complained, making Anna glance at her before looking at me.
"That's 'cause I'm an adult and need some sort of release. You try teaching a class of yourselves first and then we'll talk." I grinned. "Besides, I don't drink all the time."
"You can't tell us what to do." Sebastian muttered somewhat arrogantly. I held back another grin when I suddenly dropped my sunglasses on the floor.
"Oops. Clumsy me. Sebastian, could you get that?" I asked innocently, making whoever was paying attention, snicker. Even Anna had picked her head up, watching Sebastian with amusement.
"B-but asking is different than commanding." He crossed his arms, though I could tell he was itching to get them for me. Am I allowed to call you a dork?
"Sebastian. Get my glasses for me. Right now." I tried to sound harsh but when he laughed, I had to too.
"Yes ma'am. Have mercy on me." He continued to laugh but got up to give them to me anyway.
When he put them on my desk I nodded at him and made my way around my desk to look at them. "So, coming back to the original topic. No drinking. Understand?" I said as sternly as I could. "Until you're twenty-one and can pay your own way." I added.
"Aye, aye. Now is there somethin' we could write about in there?" Merida asked, on the verge of boredom. It had been mainly the boys that I'd been talking to anyway. The girls just seemed a little more out of it than they normally did.
"Well, not really. Unless you want to write about what you're going to do when you turn twenty-one, or how horrible I was at trying to command, but other than that, I'd say its a free topic kinda day." I shrugged.
Today is an off day. I didn't get hit on all the time but still. Ass-face, now I gotta steer Belle away from you. I sighed, logging on to my computer and not even that interested in lunch. When lunch doesn't call out to me, that's saying something. Then again, leftover pizza was only good so many times before the taste settled in. Especially if Belle made it. I swear Sven was a better cook than the two of us combined. Now that's saying something else entirely. Pushing those thoughts away, I went to my playlist and when that old-ass computer refused, I brought out my ipad. Yes I had one. The computers here could use a serious update.
Since Sunday night, I'd had a song in my head that refused to get out, so what better way to extinguish it than to listen to it? Ah, there it is. I leaned back, closing my eyes as the saxophones suddenly blew to life and before I knew it, I was already on my feet. I waited for the lyrics to start but when there was only the instruments, I remembered I had two different versions. Karaoke? Why not? I slid to the door and closed it before gliding back to restart the song. Something's totally wrong with me today. Why am I so pumped? I blamed the song, actually.
"Girl, to be with you is my favorite thing, yeah" again, I started shyly, hoping nobody would walk in, but at the same time, my feet had already began to move on their own as adrenaline spiked in me.
"I can't wait till I see you again yeah, yeah" lifting my hands above my head, I spun on my toes before jumping from side to side, quickly mixing the line dance with other steps that came to me on the spot.
"I wanna put on-" I threw out my hand, surprised to see none other than Anna leaning against the closed door with a mischievous smirk on her face. I was wondering when you'd show up. I grinned and without so much as a second thought, I turned, moon-walking my way back to her.
"my, my, my, my, my Boogie shoes-" I took her hand, pulling her away from the door to join me and she laughed.
"just to boogie with you, yeah" she started after she settled down enough to sing, but continued giggle to as I spun her around, gesturing for her to follow my mixture of line dancing and jiving.
"I wanna put on my, my, my, my, my Boogie shoes" I started again, loving the way she was blushing, but still keeping up with my steps.
"Just to boogie with you" she finished with her own little twist and took my hands as we pulled apart and then she pulled me back to her. We didn't finish the rest because she'd ended up kissing me.
Girlfriend. It stole whatever breath I'd had left in my lungs away and I felt my legs go weak. Again, you let your guard down! At the moment, I didn't care, I kissed back but only for a short moment as she then rested her forehead on my chin.
"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to catch you off guard." She chuckled and moved away from me. With the biggest grin ever, I caught my breath, turning the music down before turning back to her.
"Well, it definitely wasn't unwelcomed." I commented, looking around to make sure nobody else was out and about. Anna saw me scoping and went to open the door once more. "It was you that declared until December, remember?" I complained like a kid.
"But aren't you supposed to be the responsible one?" She asked innocently, making me roll my eyes.
"What, did you want me to slap you so would wouldn't kiss me? Because, that's how I operate." I paused. "Unless you're into that kinda thing, I can find some other way to stop you."
"H-hey!" She ducked her head, face starting to glow. Oops.
"I'm only joking, Anna." I tried to mimic Merida's accent and she snorted. "Are you hungry? I surmise you didn't eat lunch." I held out a slice of pizza as enticingly as I could to her.
"Have you tasted the cafeteria food? It's gotta be imported from the prison." She muttered, getting up so she could take the pizza from me.
"Been to prison have we?" I teased. Her response was a gigantic bite and a playful glare. Totally adorable. "But yes, I agree. That's why I bring my own." I sat at my own desk, searching for a different song. Seriously, I needed to tell Belle about that creep. Not to mention that I sort of already called Anna my girlfriend. That was careless, but not entirely untrue either. December. December!
"So, you can dance." She said after a moment of comfortable silence.
"I'm a little rusty, but I suppose I can." I gave up searching and put it on shuffle. "I didn't know you could, though. N-not that I- I was trying to embarrass you or anything-" I tried to defend myself and she laughed, looking up at the ceiling in mock superiority. "You're just full of surprises, Miss St. James." I stated in slight awe, switching tones as fast as lightning. How have I not noticed you before all of this?
"So are you." Anna brought her pretty green eyes to me and I gulped.
"N-not at all." I stammered, wanting to get away from this topic already. We're not supposed to be like this until- aw, hell there just no way of telling that we'd evidently last that long, without touching. But all the same. Right now, all I wanted was to kiss her again, but the better part of me kept me glued to my seat.
"I know what you're thinking." Anna stated quietly before she got up to saunter to the back of the classroom. When she got there, she turned, looking at me expectantly, waiting. I bit my lip and hesitantly followed, but not before poking my head out of the door and down both directions of the hall. No one. All clear. With a shaky hand, I closed the door once more, locking it as well. god, I've never been so nervous before!
In fact, I was so nervous that when I eventually got back to her, I stumbled. She caught me before chuckling and whispering that for someone who could dance, I was quite awkward and clumsy.
"Whatever. I'm just really concerned for your safety is all." I said, trying not to shiver as her hands rested lightly on my shoulders. Just a little lower...
"How considerate." She said and I gasped when her hands suddenly dropped to my waist. Ohgodohgodohgod! I licked my lips, trying to slow my racing heart. "I'm also concerned for your safety, you know. This is dangerous." I watched her pull her lower lip into her mouth and the world seemed to fall away when she looked back at me with uncertain eyes.
"It sure is." I whispered, leaning in a bit. "But maybe I like living on the edge." Bringing my hands up to cup her cheeks, I'd just about kissed her when she spoke again.
"Okay, that was corny. Even for you." She pulled back to chuckle at me. I rolled my eyes.
"Gosh, kill the mood much?" I wanted to lean away but it felt like her hands were melting into my hips. Plus, now that I'd finally got to touch her, I wouldn't let her go so easily either.
"Someone had to say something." She whispered back and before I could try to be witty, she pressed her lips to mine. Oh. Yeah, forget wits. I immediately wrapped my arms around her neck, sighing contently as she drew small circles into my hips. I could do this all day. Feeling her tongue gently glide along my lips, quietly asking for permission, I quickly opened my mouth and tentatively met her tongue with my own.
Omigod. Images of her little smirk and the way she was dancing filled my mind as I suddenly backed her up to the wall behind us. She let out something between a moan and a growl as she then, slid her hands further up my back to press herself firmly into me. Our kiss took a very heated turn and she quickly jumped back, leaving me to make-out with thin air instead.
"Wha-" I turned to see her rushing for her bag. What? Did I do something wrong?
"I-I'm so-sorry. I g-gotta go." She stammered before rushing and trying to open the door. Then I saw it. She was indeed covering her groin, but I managed to see it anyway. My eyes widened as she finally threw the door open and fled, leaving me to stand there, shocked and turned on at the same time. It. I-it looked s-so- big- ahhhh! I ran both hands through my hair as a heavy blush settled on my face.
I went the rest of the day with a light flush on my face. Not to mention the dopey-est grin known to man was also plastered on it.
Dibs. Nobody gets Anna but me.
