When Saturday came I still hadn't answered my question. I found myself thinking about her in the middle of class, during my errands, and especially at home. About us alone, in my bed, doing things that would horrify a mormon. But most of it wasn't even in a sexual way, just thinking "she'd love this" or "I wonder what she'll think of this" you know, the cheesy romance stuff. We'd been texting all day everyday for the past week, and I'd noticed something. I really like her, and I think she feels the same. She gave the type of butterflies you get in high school, and I wasn't complaining.

I was going to cook chez noods, a term I coined myself. they're really only cheesy noodles, but they're so good, simple, but great. I think she'll like it, at least I hope so. As the time got closer and closer I got more and more nervous. Maybe she'd change her mind. Maybe she'd think I was annoying. So much could go wrong. Just as I finished that thought the doorbell rang. Okay, go time. I opened the door and smiled as soon as I saw her. She had on a simple v neck, jeans, and a denim jacket. The things that v-neck does to me, but that'll be for later. Hopefully.

Jokingly I said "Okay okay, lemme see the fit." She smiled and spun, striking poses along the way. I got down on my knees and pretended to take pictures with an invisible camera. We laughed and I let her inside. When she stepped in she made a beeline to the 'good smell'.  I followed her into my kitchen that I was proud of. All along the walls there were many untencills all organized by use and need. On one wall there were two 5' shelves full of spices and seasonings, all sorted in alphabetical order. Granted I had cleaned before she came over but even before that it still looked great.

I gave a brief tour of my house before leading her to her seat. It wasn't much To a lot of standards, only a medium apartment but when you're a broke teacher, or student,  it seems like much more.

I moved away from the stove and headed towards the cabinets, as the noodles were done and  I only needed to plate them.  She sat down and looked at me weird, not weird but, endearingly?

I grinned back at her and said "What? Do I have something on my face?"

"No, I just," she paused, looking for the right words, "I seem to learn something new about you everyday, and I really like it." she said, that look of endearment never fading.

I blushed and turned away saying "There's so much you don't know about me darling, so much that you'll just have to wait and find out about." I said as I turned to find her grinning like an idiot.

"Is that a statement or an invitation?" She asked slowly.

"Its whatever you want it to be, rose." I said not looking up from my dish.

I looked back after a moment and she was watching me with a bewildering look on her face. I just smiled and looked back at my food. After I finished getting the plates and silverware,  I set the table and started serving the food. As we ate we kept a playful banter up, we talked about everything and nothing. Even after we finished eating we sat there and talked. Eventually I asked if she wanted to watch a movie and she said why not.

"I don't have anything to do tomorrow anyway." she said, implying something more.

I ran with that, "That implies something more."

"Well what if i meant for it to?" She replied slyly.

"Well I'm stunned, you of all people should know that I am just a holy sister of the church and would never do such things." I said so innocently it made us both wonder why I pursued teaching and not acting.

"You're right sister Evilyn I don't know what I was thinking" she said trying to keep a straight face.

We failed, and went into a laughing fit. She reached for my hand and I clutched my stomach, as it hurt from laughing so much. We smiled at each other and I led her to the bedroom.

"Welcome madam." I said Bowing.

"Why thank you miss." she said as she courtsed her imaginary skirt. I blushed slightly at the term, but let it roll off me, hoping she didn't notice the effect.

We got on the bed and I laid against the headboard, and she laid next to me, her head on my shoulder, our hands still interlocked.
She picked out a movie, and we started watching. I wasn't paying attention to the movie at all, only to her. About halfway through she got up, only to get on top of me.

"Forward I see." I said smugly.

"Spread your legs." she said keeping eye contact.

I swiftly followed orders and she sat in between them, facing away from me, then laid in my chest. Not what I expected but I'm not complaining.

"This is better." she said, cuddling into me. I smiled and wrapped my arms around her.

Before kissing her head I pulled the blanket over us and said "Much better."

Within minutes she was asleep, thankfully the lights were off so all I had to do was turn off the Tv. As I did so I thought to myself,  why I felt this way so suddenly, how was she, of all people able to make me melt? I wondered if this was all artificial, just college lust that she'll forget about within 2 weeks, or if this was actually the beginning of something. This was my student. They're graduating this year though right? That's not until summer though. Will we be together that long? I sighed and tried to stop thinking about it and tried to go to sleep. Before unconsciousness took over I said one thing, instantly melting all my worries.
"I really like you, rynn schide, I wanna see where this goes."
