It's between me and you

Chapter 22

"Wow, Elena, you look radiant." 

A slim blonde, with a Blake Lively look, met Elena at the entrance to the billiard club.

"Radiant?" The girl laughed. "Are you kidding? I've never lost so much nerve as in recent days. No gray hair?" Elena waved her long, loose hair and held it up for her friend to see.

Ira just waved her hand.

"What gray hair, Elena? You're too young. But you've got to take care of your nerves. With your profession and students your nervous system should be strong"

"That's for sure, especially with one," it flashed through the girl's mind, but she quickly dismissed any thought of Ledger. After last night's kiss, she had nightmares again, only this time even more terrifying. For some reason, this time in the dream Andrew was waiting for her in the auditorium, and when she came, he pinned her to the wall and kissed her. And the worst part: she didn't push him away. Not at all. She didn't even try. On the contrary, she kissed him back as if she'd been waiting for it. It would be better not to talk about what happened between them afterwards. The pornhub regulars would be drooling. A real nightmare.

Fortunately, she didn't have any classes in his group today, but she spotted him walking down the hall. Her pulse quickened at that moment, ready for any verbal attacks from him, but Ledger was too busy concentrating on reading something on the screen of his phone, so Elena walked past silently, not drawing attention. It was safer that way.

After the classes, she went to the police station and, as promised, filed a report against Cahlon. Such a behavior should not be left unpunished.

If this guy allows himself to set fire to someone else's house just because he couldn't let the girl go, it's scary to imagine what his actions might lead to in the future. She certainly took a lot of responsibility, and indeed, the students seem likely to drink more of her blood.

"Did you finish your cigarette?" Elena asked her friend. She nodded and yanked the massive door handle.

A small but cozy billiard club for ten tables the girls found a few years ago. They used to go here in a large group, including Dan, Kate, and Vova. But since some time ago everything has changed, Dan has no time, and it's just the two of them.

The club workers knew the spectacular girls who occasionally visited their establishment. Just as they knew that as soon as these two started playing, all the other customers smoked nervously and rushed to order more beer. No wonder. How could two attractive young girls, skilfully playing a predominantly male game, go unnoticed? It was only for the performance itself that one could charge money.

"Hey, guys" Ira, dressed in brown leather pants and a tight white sweatshirt, smiled dazzlingly at the guys at the bar. Elena nodded, too.

She decided today to move away from the recently boring image of a teacher and wear something more comfortable and familiar.

Light blue jeans and a beige sweatshirt with a triangular neckline and three-quarter sleeves turned out to be the most appropriate option. She had to be comfortable today to beat her friend.

"Good evening, we were just thinking about you the other day" The guys smiled broadly as usual.

The guys were pretty good-looking, but the girls came here to play, not to make new acquaintances.

"Oh, you're so cute" Ira said, "We'll have two beers for the beginning, as usual. Are you hungry?" She threw a question at Elena and looked at her friend.

"No, I had a snack". Elena looked around the half-filled hall.

There were usually not many people at this time. Most of all came later, when they got off work. She nodded to a couple of the regulars, and then the girls headed to the table assigned to them. It was their favorite table, by the way. The receptionists knew that, and if it was free and not reserved in advance, they always left it for them.

The corner one, with a flat screen overhead and pleasant music from the speakers, seemed to be just for them. They liked playing in the center of the room the least. It felt like they were being watched by everyone around them. But the corner one gave them at least a sense of privacy.

After a few games and almost finishing their half-liter of beer, the girls ordered another round. A light dose of alcohol spread heat through her veins, the excitement of the game lifted her spirits, and, going into the next series of strokes, Elena did not even notice two guys entering the room.

Ledger circled the room with a scanning glance and squinted his eyes as he came upon the one he was looking for. He didn't even immediately recognize Elena. Without her usual tight skirt and sleek ponytail, she seemed so... simple. Though no, it was hard to call her simple. The waitress with a tired smile on his face and dirty head, that who was simple. Elena looked inaccessible even in her normal clothes.

The guys walked to the bar and ordered a non-alcoholic beer. Andrew had a plan to make the most of tonight. He still wants to get rid of her, right? He does. Even more than before. Ledger had been thinking all night about what happened yesterday. And if their very first kiss, could be called more a desire to gag her, the one yesterday was more destructive.

The taste of the teacher's lips, as if on purpose, was lodged in his memory, unwilling to be erased. Even now he remembered how soft and plump they were. And he didn't like that. Not at all. He hadn't cared about girls in a long time, and he wasn't used to thinking about them. If he had one, that was fine. If not, he'd find another one, no problem. But to have the sound of her soft moan and the hot, slender body beneath his fingers playing over and over again for hours on end was too much.

He must get rid of her as soon as possible, and since the previous methods didn't help, he'll use others.

"Are we going to sit here, Ledger, or to come over?" Stas asked, taking a big sip of beer. Andrew decided not to bring Nate. He had enough shit of his own now. And by the way, Stas was always up for anything.

" Let's watch for now" Andrew shifted his gaze to Elena's friend. Beautiful, tall, nice breasts and ass, but he was not touched. Had seen similar ones more than once.

He returned his gaze to Elena. The girl was just about to break the pyramid. Her stance was confident, strictly at a ninety-degree angle, her elbow did not stray. She struck and immediately scored two balls. Ledger almost whistled. Holy shit. She really can play. He thought the girls would just having fun. Like, "We're not like the others, we don't go to bars, we play pool." But they surprised him.

He didn't notice how he began to watch the game. True, he couldn't see very well from here, but he could see what he needed to see. The way Elena snapped her fingers triumphantly when she successfully scored, the way she tossed her mop of hair behind her back when it fell in a wave and clung to her fingers. At one point she apparently got tired of it, and, taking a rubber band out of her bag, her nimble fingers pulled the ponytail down on top of her head. What the fuck for? That way she only reminded him more of who she really was.

"Let's go play," said Andrew to his friend, "Open that table for us," He nodded to the administrator, pointing his head at the table next to the girls.

"It's reserved" The redheaded guy politely explained.

"I'll pay extra"

A couple of seconds, and the lamps above the table lit up. Well, it's time to play a few games and play the winningest game of his life!
