Colleagues to lovers

Chapter 33

"Calm down, Sarah. Sit down and I'll get you some water," Avery said. "What the hell just happened? And why aren't you teaching right now? I think all three of you should be in front of the class right now," Sarah said. "Calm down Sarah. Do you even know what happened?" asks Daisy. "I heard something about sexual assault, someone trying to kiss someone else when they didn't want to," Sarah said. "You don't know which people," Avery said. "No, they didn't say," Sarah said.

Avery sat down next to Sarah and handed her a glass of water. Sarah's face changed from angry to concerned. She looked at Lyanna and then at Avery.

"Is anyone going to tell me what's going on? You know something I don't. Come on, just say it," Sarah said. "Who's going to tell her?" said Daisy. "Actually, Lyanna should tell her," Avery said. "I don't care who says it, as long as someone says it," Sarah said. "I'm sorry," Thomas said. "What the hell are you doing here," Sarah said angrily. "Oh, she hasn't told me yet," Thomas says. "What hasn't who told yet," Sarah said. "The one who tried to kiss someone. The one who thought someone liked him. The one who didn't know what "stop" meant. The one who traumatized not only two students, but other people as well. The reason the five of us are here now," Daisy said. "Did that sleazy bastard attack someone, try to kiss someone against their will?" asks Sarah angrily. "Yes, Sarah," Avery said. "It's my fault. It's my fault. It's my fault," Lyanna said. "Calm down Lyanna, breathe in, breathe out. Try to stay calm," Daisy said. "What's going on now?" asked Sarah. "He grabbed me by my hips and my neck. He tried to kiss me. He thought I was flirting with him. It's all my fault. I feel so bad," Lyanna says. 

Sarah slowly stood up. She stared into Thomas' eyes. She was so incredibly angry.

"He did what? You touched my girlfriend. You bastard," Sarah said. "Come on Sarah, we can talk about this," Thomas said. "Talk about it? You think you can talk about this? That you can just walk in here and touch my girlfriend without her permission. That's sexual assault, Thomas. I won't stand for it," Sarah says.

Sarah takes another step forward. She stands in front of him. She makes a fist with her hand. She punches him in the face and he falls against the wall and then to the floor. Avery runs over to Sarah. She hugs her.

"I understand it's a lot to take in, but this is going too far, Sarah," Avery said. "The bastard deserves it," Sarah said. "Guys, what's going on?" said Jackson. "Nothing's going on, boss," Avery says. "Then why is there a man on the ground? And why is Sarah crying?" asks Jackson. "A lot happened today, let's leave it at that," Daisy says. "Does this have anything to do with Lyanna's situation?" asks Jackson. "Yes, it does," Lyanna said. "I'd better not ask any more. I'm going back upstairs. I haven't seen anything," Jackson says. 

Sarah and Avery sit back down. Thomas slowly gets up and leaves without looking back or saying anything. They all stay seated and talk some more. What just happened was pretty intense. After a while, Avery and Daisy went back to teaching while Sarah and Lyanna went home. When they got home, Lyanna went straight to the couch to lie down. Sarah lay down next to her.

"I don't want to talk anymore, Sarah," Lyanna said. "Neither do I. We're home alone until seven. So we can watch a movie or do something else," Sarah said. "A movie or something else. What else did you have in mind?" asks Lyanna.

They looked into each other's eyes and both knew what they wanted. Sarah placed her hand on Lyanna's face. Lyanna saw Sarah glowing all over. She could feel the positive energy.

"I'll always protect you," Sarah said. "How super sexy you are when you say that," Lyanna said. "I've been practicing," Sarah said. "You've done your homework well," Lyanna said. "I haven't even started yet," Sarah said.

Sarah playfully kissed Lyanna's neck. They kissed each other. They thoroughly enjoyed it. Lyanna's lips were even softer than Sarah remembered. So this is what you call loving, huh? That's what Sarah and Lyanna thought. 

"I'm going to take a shower. It's been a long day," Sarah said. "Is that an invitation from you for me to come with you?" Lyanna said. "Only if you want to," Sarah said. "What are you waiting for?" said Lyanna. 

Sarah and Lyanna step directly into the shower, handprints on the glass. They kiss each other. They want more of each other. They enjoy each other like crazy. They forget what a horrible day it actually was. It makes everything instantly better. Sarah stroked Lyanna's wet hair as she kissed her lover.
