"Our Secret"

Chapter 10

Aniya's POV

My love?

My love. I thought. Knowing that she was my student, I still couldn't help but thinking of kissing her again. I had forgotten all about the consequences and what could happen. I didn't say anything for a minute, only because I couldn't really process what just happened between me and Grace. I loved Grace. I did. Though, there's something about Mariah, that made me love her... more, dare I say.

"My love?" I said smiling at her through my eyes. "I like the sound of that."

Her eyes lit up as if she were a little kid getting the toy they wanted. Then she kissed me. I was surprised, but I definitely kissed back.

"Great." She said after pulling away from my lips. "I should really call my mom though... I've been here a while."

She was right. She's been here for quite some time now. But god she's so beautiful. Thinking of her leaving made me sad, but her hazel eyes and her chocolate brown skin and amazing long, curly hair was all I could think about, and her gorgeous body.

"Right..." I said getting off the desk. "It's almost 4:30."

I hadn't noticed that my shirt was still unbuttoned, however, Mariah definitely did. She hungrily looked at me wanting to finish what we had started before Grace had walked in. She put a hand on my waist, pulling me towards her slightly, looking at my lips, making me almost give in to her, but remembered she needs to go. I pull away and walk over to my desk.

"Not now Mariah." I say while laughing.

"I wish we could've finished what we started earlier." She said locking her eyes on me as I walked to my desk, and sat down in my chair, buttoning up my shirt.

"I agree." I said looking up at her and putting my hands down.

"Oh... my moms here." She said in a saddened tone. "I'll see you tomorrow, Mrs Parker." Before kissing my cheek.

I blushed and said "Goodbye, Mariah." Not thinking of what I had just put her, and myself, into.

I know it was very sudden and her being 16, me 22, and knowing the consequences, but I still really, really liked her, and wanted to keep seeing her. She had something Grace didn't... I'm just not so sure what. Sitting in my chair just thinking about her, and being sad at the fact that she was no longer here, my phone rang and I immediately picked it up hoping it was Mariah. Then looking at who it was, it was Grace.

I knew exactly why she was calling me, so I just ignored it, grabbed my stuff, and went home.

I walked into my apartment, and to my surprise, I walk in on Grace just sitting on my couch when I got home.

"Grace what the hell!" I say frightened at the fact she's let herself in like this. "What the hell are you doing here!?"

"I want to apologize... for the second time." She says as she stood up.

'Oh please' i thought.

"Please, let me take you out so we can talk?" She begged.

"Why can't we just talk here?" I say as I slammed the door, shrugging, making it clear I was very frustrated with her.

"Besides," i explain  "I don't want to talk to you, Grace. Not after that stunt you just pulled."

"You're my wife!! Why can't i just come in here once in a while and wait for you? It's bad enough we don't even live together. You gave me a key, Aniya. Doesn't that mean I can come here whenever I please?"

I know its weird but, although we were married, we didn't live together. Yet.

"Are you kidding me, Grace?" I ask, genuinely confused. "Yes, I gave you a key," I admitted "but that doesn't mean it's your house too!" My voice getting louder, but I then realized I was being too loud.

She pouts and says "You're right. I'm sorry baby." Putting her hands around my waist. Her trying to pull me in, but I push away.

"Please leave, Grace." I pleaded before grabbing my bag and heading to my room.
