Dominance

apologies

Yesterday kept running through my mind like a broken record. God I wanted her to kiss me again, I wanted to see her again. I craved her touch. There was something about her, and I still can't explain it to this day. She was just perfect in every single way. And even though I knew that she knew how I felt about her, I wanted her to feel the same. But I had to move on because it wasn't like I would have a chance with her anyway.

The next day I had to teach a lesson in the morning. Of course it was with her. I do admit now that maybe I had overreacted a bit but at the time I didn't even want to see her face.

I got dressed into a silky white blouse and left three undone. I buttoned up my corset and tightend it a lot more than usual, put on my trousers and heels as usual and made my way to class. Great, another day like every other one that never seems to end. As I walked into class I noticed Lesso trying to make eye contact with me but I quickly looked away at the floor and refused to look at her again. It was hard not to, but she had made me so mad.

The class finished after what felt like hours. Somehow we managed not to talk to each other the whole time. As I was getting ready to leave I felt her hand on my shoulder.

"Venelia." Lesso said in an almost caring way, which I honestly thought was impossible for her.

"No." I dismissed her. I was literally burning with rage. I think that maybe part of me was afraid to talk to her because if, like she said, heightened emotions strengthen powers then I might accidentally use them on her and even though I was annoyed, that was the last thing I wanted to do.

"Please can I talk to you?"

I don't know if it's because I really liked her and I was just looking past all the negative shit she had done to me but he seemed like she was genuinely feeling remorseful so I let her say what she needed to.

"Fine but you better make it quick because I am not staying for long."

"Staying for long?"

"Yeah, I put my notice in to leave the school. It's just not the job for me anymore. And I mean if we can't work as adults then maybe it really isn't."

I said quickly, just to get the worst part over and done with.

"You're leaving? Really?"
"I am, and yesterday just proves that this school can't thrive as well with two deans who can't get along."

I really didn't want to leave but I knew it was for the best, for the both of us and the school.

"Anyway what did you want to say?"

"I was going to apologise for the way I acted towards you yesterday."

"Apologise? Hm, that's very unlike you."

"Yeah well, here I am, apologising, giving you what you want. Are you happy now?"

"You used me."

"Yes and it was wrong and I am so sorry, it wasn't fair on you at all and it wasn't because I wanted to see if your powers work."

"It wasn't?"

God I was getting so angry she used me even more than I thought she did.
"It- it was because maybe i-"
"You what?"
"Maybe i-"
"Just fucking spit it out Leonora-"
I stopped myself. I said her name. When i came to this school one of the teachers came up to me and told me never to refer to her as 'leonora' even though that was her name, apparently it was one of the only things that she was sensitive to. I didn't ask why but i followed her rule and in the heat of an argument i said her name by complete accident.

The room fell silent for what felt like minutes. Was she going to lash out at me? My heart began to race in fear of what she was going to do. She inhaled sharply.

"Leonora?"

"Shit. I am so sorry. I genuinely didn't mean to say that."
"Nobodys called me Leonora for years."

"Im so sorry"
"No, I don't really want to talk about it, but when you said it, it didn't make me feel like it used to. It made me feel kind of... warm, which is odd."
It was an understatement to say that reaction surprised me. I was still so pissed off at her but I felt like I couldn't be because she was being so calm about it.

She grabbed my hand.

"Look , I am so unbelievably sorry about yesterday. It was completely wrong and immature for me to do that. Can you forgive me?"
This eye contact thing was getting out of hand, she knew what she was doing and she knew the effect it had on me.

"Well?"

She whispered, staring deeper into my eyes.

"Yeah fine whatever."

I pulled her closer and pressed my lips against hers, she traced her hand up my waist and placed it against my chin, the feeling of her cold rings against my face was enough to make butterflies form in my stomach. For those few minutes, everything felt like it had fallen into place, like the whole world seemed right when she was with me. I ran my fingers through the soft curls in her hair. She moved some papers off her desk and sat me on it. I pushed further into the kiss, hoping it would last forever. Hoping it would turn into more than a kiss.

"Well I guess I am forgiven then."

"Well what do you think?"

I laughed, out of breath.

"I have to go but I'll see you later. Oh, and please don't leave, I'll miss you."
She admitted, which is a strange thing for her to do, actually admit to something.

"I'll think about it."

I shouted as I was leaving the room.

I was a bit annoyed that that kiss didn't turn into something else but i guess it was still good

I wasn't actually going to leave, I just said that so that she would feel bad, which I admit now that it was a petty thing to do. But I guess it worked.
