Something Extraordinary

Chapter 13

She whispered, but Rachel stirred and Cassandra shut up. Cassandra couldn't sleep this way, she had a tingly feeling right where Rachel's arm was.

"Gosh, this is ridiculous..." She was whispering and if Rachel had been awake she probably wouldn't have understood it. Cassandra moved her arm and tried to put Rachel's arm back to Rachel, but then she stirred again.

"Okay, not that big of a deal Cassandra." She closed her eyes and tried to sleep, then Rachel turned around, with her back to Cassandra and she missed the feeling.

That's why she just moved closer to Rachel, cupped her from behind and laid her arm around Rachel's waist. It was pretty comfortable and she quickly fell asleep.

When Rachel woke up, she had a smile on even though she knew she'd overslept, but she didn't mind. She was just happy. In the middle of the night she woke up and felt Cassandra hugging her from behind and loved it.

She wondered neither her nor Cassandra's alarm went off, but she heard Cassandra talking to somebody in the living room. It was on the phone, because she couldn't hear anybody else than Cassandra. Rachel got out of the bed and realized, that she had slept in her clothes.

She knew she had to call the school and lie to them, but she wanted to take a shower first, so she just took a tank top and a pair of boxers out of Cassandra's closet and walked in the bathroom. After a quick shower she wanted to walk to the living room, but Cassandra was still talking on the phone and Rachel didn't want to interrupt. She eavesdropped and felt a little bad about it, until she figured out what it was about.

"-no, no, no, no, no. That's not what I said! She slept here. I did not sleep with her!... Exactly. ... I don't know. ... I called the school and said I was sick. ... Yes. ... So what should I do now? ... I won't do that. ... Where I met her? Um, well she's kinda one of... One of my students." Rachel heard Cassandra walking up and down. "I know! ... Don't judge me alright, she came on to me. ... I know, but I can't break up with her. ... I know. ... I won't. ... Izzy I gotta go, I call you later alright? ... Okay, bye."

Rachel didn't know what to think right now, but when she heard Cassandra coming to the bedroom, Rachel quickly opened the door to walk out. It would have been awkward if she just stood there, Cassandra running into her and realizing Rachel was listening.

"Oh, hi." Cassandra flushed a bit.

"Good morning."

"Ya, good morning. I didn't want to wake you, we've overslept anyway."

"Oh that's okay, I'll just call in and pretend to be sick."

"Ok, here's the phone."

"Thanks." After Cassandra handed her the phone, she turned around and walked towards the kitchen, to get Rachel a cup of coffee. When she returned Rachel had already called the school.

"I got you coffee."

"Thank you." They sat down on the couch. "You know, I slept very well last night. Did you hear our alarms?"

"Ya. Me too and no I didn't, but I didn't set mine, so well that's why we didn't hear it."

"Oh okay."

"So you just call in sick?" She teased Rachel a little.

"I missed the first-" She looked on the clock. "-the first half anyway. Who'd you call?"

"I, oh I called the school too."

"You had a long talk with the school then. When I woke up you were talking and I took a shower and you were still on the phone."
