Miss Harper's POV:
Just a couple more hours and I watched as she filed out of the room with everyone else. My eyebrows knitted in confusion and I wondered how my efforts to get her attention all day hadn't been enough for her to know that she should stay. I wanted her to stay so we could repeat our moment yesterday over and over again. I knew I shouldn't be feeling like this, but it wasn't a big deal, right? It was nothing more than harmful fun. I frantically looked around, collecting everything back up into my arms and wobbled out of the classroom, following after her like some kind of lost puppy.
I wanted to call out for her, my short legs unable to keep up with her long ones but she was surrounded by other kids and I knew better, mulling over in my mind whether there was a reason she couldn't stay back to see me. Nevertheless, I picked up my speed and met her at her car, readjusting everything in my arms. "Hey, what's going on?" I asked with a soft smile, instantly regretting how lame I was sounding. "Um.. nothing, just going home" she replied, opening the car door and putting her bag on the back seat. I sighed, not knowing what else to say. "Oh.." I said and we both just stood there in silence. "Don't you have faculty meetings tonight?" she asked and I realised she had left because she thought that I'd be busy. "Oh, no no..." I told her. "Well, we do, but we don't have to attend, it's just for the heads of the faculties" I finished and she nodded her understanding, smiling at me. God, she had such a beautiful smile. "Do you want a ride?" she asked me and I almost fell over, remembering that I didn't have a car and I hadn't texted for Jase to come and get me yet. "I, err" I knew that I shouldn't agree, but I was going to anyway. "Umm, if you don't mind..." I said, looking down, shy almost. "Of course I don't mind" she laughed, walking over to me and taking everything out of my arms. She put it all neatly on her backseat and opened up the passenger door for me to get in. The gesture did nothing to help me not want to kiss her, but I didn't, smiling and getting in.
I gave her directions and admired her as she drove. She was a natural driver, a good one and it surprised me because she couldn't have been driving for very long, at least not as long as me. "Did you have a good day?" she asked me as she drove towards my house and it briefly registered as something Lilly used to ask me, well really what any couple asks each other. "Yes, I did thank you. What about you?" I asked and she nodded. "Ehh, it wasn't bad. One of my teachers kept making eyes at me and it made it kind of difficult to concentrate, but apart from that" she nodded and it took me longer than it should have to realise that she was talking about me. I swatted her thigh and found that it was difficult to drag my fingers away from her lap, so I let them linger there, watching her surprised eyes find mine for the smallest of seconds before I felt her fingers move down to intertwine with mine. SHE WAS HOLDING MY HAND. Oh, god... she was holding my hand and I knew that my palms were probably sweaty and disgusting and they were probably even shaking by now. She looked at me and laughed at my facial expression, forcing me to smile at her with a deep rouge blush on my cheeks.
I couldn't tear my eyes away from her and it made me want her that much more, noticing things now that I hadn't before like how defined her cheekbones were and how long and slender her fingers were and I was touching her thigh. Oh lord, my hand was on her thigh, so close to where I'd dreamt of them being. I was getting flustered again and I pulled my head up to stare out of the window, then back at her and she laughed again, spotting me out of the corner of her eye. "What on earth are you looking at?" she asked and I blushed even darker. "O-oh nothing" I told her and she raised her eyebrows. "You're checking me out... again" she stated and it made me embarrassed that she had caught me doing it countless times before. "N-no.. I'm just, I'm just looking" I said, sounding dumb. "..checking me out then?" she asked and I nodded, unable to deny it a second longer. "Maybe when you get your new car you should give me a ride and I can return the favour" she told me but all I heard was 'ride' and 'return the favour' and I mentally slapped myself, feeling like an idiot for unable to think as an adult woman.
Luckily, or unluckily she pulled up outside my house and unbuckled her seatbelt, turning to look at me with a smile. "Well thanks for the company" she said and I nodded although all I was thinking about and looking was her lips. That was until I felt cold fingers beneath my chin, lifting it until my eyes met hers. "My eyes... are here" she said and I laughed, embarrassed. "I'm sorry" I replied and she shrugged as though she wasn't really bothered about it. "See something you like?" she asked and I didn't offer a reply at all, just letting my eyes fall back down to her lips for a second or two. She moved hers closer to mine, teasing me and I groaned, moving my fingers from her thigh to her shirt, balling it up in my fists and dragging her closer to me. I didn't stop until her supple lips were resting on mine and I sighed into them, letting go of her shirt and wrapping my arms around her neck, leaning closer to her. She gave me soft kisses and pulled away, wrapping her arm around my waist and looking at me, raising her eyebrow. "Happy now?" she teased and I laughed, shaking my head and leaning in for more. "Easy tiger!" she said, patting her lap, telling me that I could sit down on it. I was sure that it had probably been years since I had sat on anyone's lap, but I agreed, moving over the console rather ungracefully and landing in her lap. "Hey" I husked, wrapping my arms around her neck and smiling when hers tightened around my waist. "Hey" she replied, leaning in and kissing me again and I knew that I could keep this up all night.
Santana's POV:
I kissed her like I knew she wanted me to, my tongue running against her bottom lip until she permitted its entry. It was noisy but the kisses were surprisingly slow and without much purpose. It didn't feel like we were trying to have sex with each other, just kissing. But she did moan against my lips and I pulled away slightly until our lips were simply resting against one another's in recognition of the sound. She gasped and I tugged on her lower lip, sucking on it whilst she got it together and we carried on kissing. I let my body fall back against the seat and she melted into me, resting against me whilst I put my hands on her ass, making her laugh. "Shh, I want to hold it" I told her and she nodded, kissing me again and again and again, going from teasing me to pressing herself up on me until I thought we might take it a step further.
We didn't though because we were interrupted by a knock on the window. She buried her face in my neck and I wasn't sure whether it was done in frustration or perhaps panic. I wrapped my arms tight around her and looked to my right, seeing a man that I didn't know. He opened the door and leaned in. "Hey, Dani" he smirked and Dani raised her head, groaning. "Go away, Jase" she said, trying to get even closer to me. "Can't do that I'm afraid" he said and she sighed, frustrated. "Why? Please.. you know the rules about cock blocking and stuff" she told him, sitting up but keeping her arms around my neck. "Oh, so you really were about to fuck your student? Kinky" he said and my eyes widened in surprise. She had told someone about me? She rolled her eyes and introduced us. "Santana, meet my asshole best friend, Jase. Jase, Santana" she said and Jase smirked at me, reaching around Dani's back to shake my hand. "Nice to meet you, Santana" he said and I nodded, telling him the same back. "Now, whilst I'd love to leave you here to break the law. Dani, you have a guest... an important guest and you need to come inside right now." he said seriously and Dani furrowed her brows. "Could anything be as important as this?" she asked, gesturing between the two of us. He nodded, looking ahead at the car in front of us. Dani turned her head to look at it, her eyes widening in surprise. "Oh, shit" was all she said, scrambling off of my lap and retrieving her things from the back seat. "Oh god, I'm sorry... I've got to go." she told me and I nodded, surprised when she leaned in to press a hard kiss on my lips. "I um... text me" she said, slamming the door shut and hurrying inside. It wasn't until I drove away that I realised I didn't have her number.
Miss Harper's POV:
Lilly. It was her car and I felt as though all of the blood in my body drained away when I saw it. She was obviously inside and I felt apprehensive, wondering how long she had been there and whether she had seen what was going on between me and Santana in the car. Either way, I was nervous about seeing her and frustrated about having to leave Santana.
I didn't have time to process what had just happened and what was about to happen because Jase marched me upstairs to my bedroom where Lilly was packing up all of her things. "What's going on?" I asked, hurt even though I'd expected it. "I'm leaving" she told me, stopping for a second to look at me. I didn't argue, nodding softly. "We're done" she continued as though her intention was to hurt me. I nodded again, having already accepted the fact that things between us were done. She got irritated, pushing on me lightly. "I said we're done, Dani. I don't love you anymore" I nodded once again and gave her back my ring. Tears were stinging my eyes and I was struggling to keep them away. Turning on my heel I walked back downstairs, sitting on the couch with my arms wrapped around my legs. I couldn't wait for her to get out of my house, even the thought of her sending me into fits of tears. If I had expected it, why was I so emotional?
She walked downstairs with one bag after another, demanding that I help her carry them out. I refused, staying in my seat. "I don't know what I ever saw in you... piece of shit" I heard her mumble and I wondered what had gotten into her. Standing up I went to slap her harshly around the face but she beat me to it, punching me and making me fall to the floor. "Thank god I had a lucky escape" she said before she left but really, I knew that I was the lucky one.
Santana's POV:
I went home with an uneasy feeling in my stomach. Why had she freaked out so much when she saw the car? Was it her fiancé? God damn, her fiancé. I was so caught up in Miss Harper that I had forgotten about everything else. I felt uneasy and I hoped that I hadn't gotten her into any trouble, knowing that I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I had. It made me feel worse that she would be expecting me to text her and I had no means to. What if she thought I didn't care? But most importantly, what if she was in trouble?
I thought time and time again whether it would be a good idea to go back to her house, but not really knowing her situation, I thought better. I was worried though and I, like the day before couldn't wait to get back to school tomorrow to see her, make sure she was okay before picking up where we left off. God, this woman was making me crazy.
