Christmas in the loop

Chapter 4- December fourth

-Alma's POV-
It was snowing outside and it had been a very dull day. The children had been out all day but i had asked them to come in as I couldn't have them getting sick. I was sitting in the parlour when i hear footsteps running towards me.

"No running insi-" i looked up and cut myself of seeing as it was y/n.

"Oh- sorry dear. I didn't realise it was you" i say with a soft smile. She looks at me with a confused grin.

"What does that change the matter? I was still running" she says laughing. I feel my cheeks tinge pink but cover it up with a nice smile and chuckle a little.

"Anyways, the children asked if i wanted to play hide and seek, and i told them yes." She says and i shoot her a confused look.

"I feel a 'but' coming up?" I ask and she giggles stepping a tad bit closer.

"Buuut i said i would only participate if you did too" she said with a wicked grin.

"And they'll just be so disappointed, that i won't play with them" she says with a fake pout.

"You are evil" i say faking a glare making the both of us laugh.

"Fine then. Why not?" I say and excitement sparks in her eyes. I get up bug quickly get dragged with, making me almost fall.

"Great" she just says and we go to find the children.

"Great!" Emma says when she had gone through her rules and everyone agreed. Hugh was seeker and when the game started, everyone scattered in different directions. To your surprise Alma pulled you along, a big smile on her face.

"Come along dear" she said and you ran into the spare room as she opened a closet. You were hesitant seeing as the space would be propped but went in. Who knows maybe she would take hiding elsewhere in the room. But she didn't. The two of you were pressed against each other tightly your eyes being the hight of her collarbone. You just looked straight ahead, meaning at her collarbones but when looking up saw her smirking at you. Your breathing hitched and you had to look away both to control it, and because you were blushing immensely. The taller woman chuckled.

"Oh, don't tell me i make you nervous" she said pushing you tighter against the wall of the empty wardrobe. She took a hold of your chin turning your gaze back at her as you refused to do so yourself. When your head was fully turned to looking at her, you gave up on trying to control your breath and tried not to let out a whimper. She was towering over you her face slowly dropping to the hight of your neck, as she let out slow warm breaths against it. You leg out a whimper and your hand shot up to your mouth. She pulled backwards and laughed at seeing your flustered state.

"This is so much fun" she teased.

"Oh just you wait. I'll get you back." You said pushing her against the walk making her eyes widen in shock. You came closer to her neck stroking your lips against her bones and feeling her breathing hitch you knew you'd hit a soft spot. You chuckle a little before pulling back.

"So when did you find out?" You ask her and she knows what you're talking about, though was still struggling with her breathing.

"A while ago. That your gay, that is" she said making sure. You smile at her of course knowing -like everyone else in this house- that your headmistress was too. She had casually 'admitted' to it once at the dining table a few years ago. What made this whole situation better. Was that you now knew she had... some sort of feelings towards you too. As you had towards her. She smiles and gives you a short peck on the forehead.

"This could be interesting" you say as she just smirks.
