Teach me to love

Mark's pov

Another long day of work is in the past, Amy didn't have any classes today so she stayed in my apartment. I have been getting cute pictures of Chica all day. The students here are getting better at leaving Amy alone, there is nothing that they can do. She is of legal age. I am not breaking any laws by being in love with her. Some people may not find it morally right, but they will live.

I pulled into the driveway of the apartment taking a deep breath letting all of the frustration from the day.

There was music playing from the kitchen I heard as I walked into the living room, I took my shoes and tie off then followed the music. Amy was in one of my shirts as she danced to the upbeat song, something was cooking on the stove.

I leaned up against the wall watching her dance around the kitchen, Chica was sitting next to the stove smelling whatever was cooking.

"Now this is what I want to come home to for the rest of my life." I said smiling.

"Hi." She turned to smile at me.

"Having fun?"

She walked over to me wrapping her arms around me as a slower song came on.

"I like this more." I said low then pulled her in for a kiss.

"I like that more too." She giggled then rested her head on my chest.

"What smells so good on the stove?"

"I am trying a new recipe, it has rice, chicken, peppers, and a bunch of other yummy things in it. It's done I just had the heat on low so it will stay warm."

"That does sound good, thank you."

We stood there in the middle of the kitchen slow dancing for a while.

I covered her face in kisses then slowly let her go.

"How was work?" She asked as we sat down to eat.

"Eh, the normal. So glad that tomorrow the whole campus is closed for that water pipe thing."

"Yay, we can lay down and cuddle all day."

"That sounds wonderful. I do have a trip planned for us to disappear too."

"I thought we were just going to stay here?" She looked at me confused.

"I got word that your mother is being released in two days. I want you to be far away from here incase she comes here."

"Thank you." She said low.

"You are safe, we will be a state away looking at art and if you are up for it, going to the beach. And before that horrible lie enters your head, you are beautiful, your body is NOT ugly and you will look amazing in whatever swimwear you wear."

"I want to try to wear a two piece." She said a little louder.

"Okay, we can go out shopping before we head out."

"I have money from my paintings to pay for them."

"Amy, you know I am not going to let you spend that money on that, plus I can use new swim trunks anyways. That money needs to be saved just incase I can't keep you safe, that way you can get somewhere safe."

"I am not leaving you, I don't care what she says or does. I am not leaving you."

I gave her a small smile, we have this fight all the time, I want her to run someplace safe but she doesn't want to run just incase I need help. She is scared that we will never see each other again.
