"okay ready to go?", Holland asked as we jumped into the car
"yeah, ready", I smiled
Holland and I were leaving New York for Philadelphia tonight, after a week together. Holland and I had left the hotel at about six, expecting to get home at eight.
I wanted to go home.
I had a great time, but after the night of the first banquet I had been in nothing but a state of confusion. Holland had never seemed so beautiful before, everything she said was worth hearing.
I couldn't understand. I felt like I was in a trance. I had never had a friendship like this, yet I wasn't complaining.
"Sarah wake up", I heard holland say lightly shaking my shoulder
"are we home?", I groaned
"I wish, the car broke down", she groaned
"fuck really", I sat up quickly
"yeah can you believe it, I guess my old auction car was on its last legs", she cursed
"where are we?", I looked around
"where in some random town thankfully"
"so what do we do now?", well I went for a walk and there's a mechanic, however they won't be open till nine tomorrow", she explained
"is there a motel or something?"
"yes there is, but I might put you in a cab", she said
"how far are we from home?"
"about an hour"
"that will be expensive, I'll stay with you"
"No, you should get home", she smiled
"I can't leave you here, we don't even know where we are. I'm staying", I stated
"are you sure?", she asked uneasily
"Yes I'm sure.. what time is it?"
"seven thirty"
"should we go?"
"I wouldn't want us to freeze", she grinned before we both hopped out of the car
"god its freezing", I shivered
"here", she said taking off her coat
"no holland its okay"
"come on just take it", she smiled "the motel is just down the street", holland said before beginning to walk
"well the vacant sign is up, thats a good sign", I said hopeful
"Can we have two rooms please?", holland spoke calmly to the receptionist
"were booked ma'am we only have one more room available", she said plainly chewing gum loudly
"are there two beds?"
"what do you think this place is, there's one double bed", she said quite rudely
"Sarah, let me put you in a cab", holland turned around
"I'm not leaving you here, it seems a little dodgy", I leant in whispering the last part
"there's only one bed", she explained
"I don't mind, if you don't"
holland sighed, thinking to herself for a moment
"fine we'll take the room", holland turned back to the woman
"how long will you and your little friend be staying?", she chewed pointing to me with her pen
"just the night"
"here's your key", she said dropping the key into hollands palm
"thank you", holland smiled before turning to me, rolling her eyes and miming the words 'what a bitch' making me laugh, only to be looked at by the woman
"well its not awful", I spoke as we walked into the room, placing our bags down
"I'm glad someones looking on the bright side", she laughed
"I might take a shower"
"you sure you want to do that here?", holland smirked
"not really, but what have I got to loose"
"I don't know.. dignity", holland giggled as I walked off into the shower
even though the shower was small, the hot water on my skin still relaxed me
'shit'
"Holland I forgot my towel, could you pass it?", I asked though the door
"sure sweetheart", holland responded before knocking on the door
"thanks", I smiled opening the door slightly taking the towel
Hollands eyes dropped, I followed her gaze down to my breasts and stomach, before slamming the door, not realising how much I had opened the door
"god I know its only eight, but I'm exhausted", holland sighed flopping on the bed
"same", I smiled walking out of the bathroom
"sleep?", she sat up
"I will never say no to that"
"let me just go put something on", she said walking to her suitcase, before entering the bathroom
while Holland was getting changed so did I.
"we're wearing the exact same thing", Holland laughed as I put away my clothes
"I didn't have anything else", I smiled, both of us standing there in panties and oversized shirts
"neither", she said sheepishly
holland had never been nervous.
she had always been strong and independent
we both smiled at each other before climbing into either side of the bed keeping a distance between us
"I know this isn't ideal, and that you should be home by now, I'm sorry", holland said facing the other way
"don't, I've had a great time", I whispered

Holland pov
I slightly stretched waking up. I checked the time seeing that it was almost seven, I didn't have to be up, and I didn't want to.
I began to roll over but was quickly stopped, Sarahs body was tucked in closely behind my back making me halt.
She must have moved in her sleep.
Considering that I was almost falling out the bed, I once again attempted to turn around, slowly moving her body. Once I was facing the other way, I looked down, Sarahs face being so close to my clothed chest.
she was beautiful.
I smiled to myself, moving the hair out of her face, deep breaths coming from her slightly parted lips. Sarah moved at my movements, her arm laying lazily over my waist. I froze, only relaxing once I had drifted back to sleep.
"mmm", Sarah groaned moving her legs, waking me up
"Sarah", I whispered
she whimpered in response, her bare leg brushing against mine, sending a shiver up to my core.
'holland what are you doing'
I quickly got out of bed, throwing on more clothes, before sitting on the small couch and reading
'she's your student, you're not supposed to feel things when she accidentally touches you. You're not supposed to think about how perfect her body is once she's slammed the door in your face. You're not supposed to notice she's beautiful. You're not supposed to care this much'
