Colleagues to lovers

Chapter 22

"You're always there for me Avery. I'm so glad I have you as a friend," Sarah said. "If you ever want to say anything else, Lyanna is also here for you. She already sensed you weren't feeling well, but she didn't know what to do. You know you also have other friends who love you very much," Avery said. "I know Avery, but I just feel so weird talking to her about it. I'm used to saying it to you, but I'll try to say it to others too," Sarah said. "Well Sarah, I have to go to class now, because there is a class waiting for you here too," Avery said. "Good luck yet, and let them in. See you soon," Sarah said. "Bye Sarah," Avery said. 

Avery let Sarah's class in and Sarah picked up her phone. She opened her phone and she stared at it. She wanted to tell her, otherwise it would continue to bother her for the rest of the class. And she didn't want that to happen. She just wanted to tell Lyanna what she wanted to tell her. Nothing more. Yet she found it very difficult to send her a message anyway. She couldn't find the right words and she thought about what she wanted to write for a very long time. Then she sent her the message anyway.

"You can just ask how I'm doing next time Lyanna. And, of course, you can always tell me how you're doing, too.  I am willing to tell my story to you as well and not just Avery," Sarah sent. "Okay Sarah thanks. I could already sense you were feeling a little down but didn't dare ask anything. You can tell me anything. And if something bothers me, I will tell you," Lyanna replied. "Thanks Lyanna. I have class now, but I'll talk to you again in the next break," Sarah sent. "See you then," Lyanna replied. 

Sarah put her phone away and she began the lesson. And the class noticed the difference from before the vacation. They felt that their teacher felt better and they were happy about that. Because she was very moody before the vacation. But the class is not too happy now. The class didn't go as fast as Sarah had hoped. The class she taught has a test in a week, but they are not very well prepared. So she had to come up with a quick plan. But overall the lesson went very well. After that class, Sarah had a break time with Avery. That was quite a coincidence because normally they never have free time at the same time. They sit with a few other teachers in the teachers' lounge. Only Avery and Sarah are sitting together at a table. It's quiet though, so they don't talk very loud. There were other teachers working.

"Have you heard from Lyanna or said anything to her yet?", Avery asks. "I told her she can always ask me how I'm doing and vice versa," Sarah said. "That's good of you Sarah. I'm proud of you. I'm sure Lyanna will really appreciate you telling her these things. You guys have been friends for a long time now anyway," Avery said. "Yes right, friends," Sarah said. "Wait what? Are you serious? Is she your girlfriend?", asks Avery. "Uuh no," Sarah said. "You are so lying. That's why you feel so much better all the time. I'm so happy for you Sarah," Avery said. "Thanks. It's not very serious or anything yet, but I do think what I like her in a way," Sarah said. "Oh my god this is so cute! I'm so happy for you. Then I should come up with some good news too," Avery said. "'Please spill the tea," Sarah said. "So I met a lovely woman the other day. We're not seriously together or anything yet, but we've been on three dates," Avery said. " So super cute. But I still have a question, you don't have to answer it if you're pussy. But do you still like men now? I mean you've been married to a man but you haven't been dating men for a while now," Sarah said. "I guess I'm not interested in men anymore. When I started dating women, only then did I feel my real self. Why do you doubt yourself," Avery said. "I think I've been with a man for so long and I've really felt a connection, but still I feel like he hasn't really made me happy. You know," Sarah said. "That's how it feels to me," Avery said. "But what it is, I don't think I only like women, but I guess I still have to figure that out," Sarah said. "Give yourself some time with this. It's hard enough to figure this out," Avery said.

They looked at each other and both walked to the bathroom. They walked into the stall and Sarah was pressed against the wall. Her hand glided over her face. Avery kissed Sarah on her mouth. For a moment, they felt very good. They kissed each other. Their warm lips touched. They didn't feel bad, not even for a second. It felt good. Avery apparently wasn't quite over Sarah.  But then Sarah thought of something. At that moment Sarah realizes that they didn't lock the door. Someone opened the bathroom door. Fuck, shit, fuck. Who opened that door? They don't actually want to know. They are watching in fear to see who is about to appear.
