Again, sorry about the delay. I haven't had much time to myself over the past week to work on this. I hope you enjoy it…I think the next chapter is going to be the last chapter.

Teacher's Pet
Chapter 17

Following Morning –Michiru's POV-

I smiled as I awoke the following morning. Last night was so perfect; I finally felt relaxed enough to make love to Haruka. It was incredible. Even with all her insecurities it was amazing. I leaned over Haruka and smiled more as I watched her sleep. I brushed a few strands of hair away from her eyes and leaned down to place a warm kiss on her lips.

"I love you." I whispered to her. It was the first time I was able to say those words to her. It felt right to finally say them.

She slowly smiled and opened her eyes. "I love you too." Before I was able to blush she pulled me down into a deep, passionate kiss. I shivered when she slid her hand down the front of my body, her wonderful fingers cupped my breast and gave it a light squeeze.

"Mommy! Why can't I come in!" We both jumped apart when Rune pounded on the door. "Mommy can I come in!"

I blushed and pulled the blanket up to cover my body. "You should let him in." I kissed her softly as she stood up. "Mm." I grinned as I watched her quickly cover up her nude body. "My god you're gorgeous." I curled up on her pillow as I watched her go to the door.

"Well good morning honey, why are you up this early?" I leaned slightly to watch them at the door. I waved to him when he looked around Haruka's leg.

"I heard a lot of noises, I tried to get in all night to see if you were OK." He frowned at her. "Are you OK?" He hugged her tightly.

She picked him up and moved back to me. "I had Michiru here to keep me company."

"OK. As long as Michiru-mama was here with you." We both blushed when he said that. "I'm hungry mommy." He looked up at her and she smiled.

"Alright, what would you like honey?" She set him back on the floor.

"Pancakes!" he smiled and ran from the room.

Both of us looked at each other, confusion plastered on our faces. "Michiru-mama?" I spoke first. She simply shrugged and left the room. I got up and got dressed in order to follow them.

-Haruka's POV-

"Why did you call Michiru that?" I grabbed the pancake mix from the shelf

"But she is my mama too isn't she? You two were in the same room all night. I remember kids telling me that their parents sleep in the same room together." He pulled himself up onto a chair at the table and watched me.

"Sometimes you're too smart for your own good." I looked over my shoulder to see Michiru standing at the doorway, wrapped up in one of my robes. "Just like your mommy." She ruffled his hair then leaned up to give me a kiss. "I love pancakes by the way." I smiled at her and started heating up the skillet.

Later that same afternoon

"So are you ready for your audition?" I leaned over in my seat to look at her. She looked absolutely beautiful in her navy dress. Her hair was done up perfectly, a few diamond pins holding it in place.

"Will you come in with me?" She cupped my cheek and looked into my eyes. "I want you with me for support."

I smiled and nodded. "Of course." I grabbed her violin from the backseat and followed her inside the building. I took a seat as she approached the receptionist to let her know she was there. "Are you nervous?"

"I'm always nervous when I play in front of other people." I gently took her hand in mine and gave it a reassuring squeeze.

"Good afternoon Ms. Kaiou. How are you doing today?"Mr. ((((())))) came out of the hallway and extended his hand to her.

"I'd like you to meet my girlfriend." I smiled and extended my hand to his which he shook generously.

"Haruka Tenou." I introduced myself.

"Would it be alright if she sat in on my audition?"

He smiled and nodded. "Not a problem, whatever will make you feel comfortable." I stood up and took her hand in mine. We followed him down the long hallway and into the music room at the end. Inside sat two other people, a man and a woman. "Michiru I'd like to introduce you to our music advisor as well as the assistant dean of student affairs. Along with me, we'll be deciding whether or not to offer you the job."

"Just relax, you'll do fine." I leaned down to give her a long, reassuring kiss, and then sat down behind the other people to watch her play.

She took a deep breath and knelt down to take out my sheet music and tune her violin before standing back up. "Whenever you're ready Michiru." I glanced over at the woman who sat poised with her pen and paper to take notes on her technique and skill.

She nodded and set the music on the stand, after playing some notes to warm up she began playing. I watched her hands carefully, they were shaking. It was only expected, it was a long time since she's played in front of others. When she finished she opened her eyes and looked at them. They quickly moved closer together to talk.

"We'll be right back Michiru." They all stood up and went into an adjoining room.

"I was horrible…" I caught her head in my hand before she was able to look down at the floor.

"No you weren't, you weren't watching their faces as they listened to you. Michiru they stopped taking notes after you started playing, they were too engrossed in the music. They loved it honey." I leant down and kissed her again.

We jumped when we heard the woman speak. "We'd like you to start on Monday. You'll be given a tour and assigned to your office." She moved closer to us and extended her hand to Michiru, who gratefully shook it. "We'll see you on Monday."

"Thank you so much!"

"See I told you." I watched her leave and turned back to her. "I told you they loved it. Let's go out and get something to eat to celebrate.

I think that my next chapter is going to be my last chapter. I don't know what else I can do to them…Don't be mad at me for ending it next chapter. I promise it'll be a longer chapter then this one.

Don't forget to review…I mean…since you made it this far you should at least tell me what you think.
