The Teachers Taboo

Present Day - Part 8

CHAPTER 31 - Hotel Room - the next day

Diana is woken up by the ringing of her handphone beside her enormous bed. She has slept fitfully during the night, tossing and turning. Her hair is in disarray on the pillow as she tries to grab her phone, so far out of reach, due to the king size bed. She tries to crawl her way to the edge of the bed and manages to answer the call. It is Carly on the line.

Diana groggily answers the call with, "Hello....."

Carly butts in, "You were suppose to call me when you arrive, wherever you were, remember? That was like eons ago. And where in the world are you, exactly?"

"First off, it was just one day ago. Secondly, I am in Malta right now, in the Royal Suite of the Grand Royale Malta hotel." 

"Are you kidding me? Please tell me this is just a joke! The Royal Suite!? I so hate you right now," Carly exclaims. 

"Not sure if you are going to hate me even more, but it is all expenses paid, like they gave me tons of cash for spending. Its like, straight out of fairytale," Diana dreamily states. 

Carly is sceptical. "Shut the front door! You sure you don't have to sell your kidneys or something? Maybe I should join you, keep you company and all. Don't want you to be bored staying in such a big suite and spending all that money by yourself." 

"Well......... I wasn't exactly alone for some of the time," Diana cagily mentions.  

"Oh my God! Did you meet someone? Did they win that prize as well?"

"No, he didn't win any prize. Do you remember one of our former student, Tyson, from about 10 years ago?" 

There is a moment of silence, while Carly racks her brain, trying to remember. "Is he the one that was mooning after you before he got expelled for fighting?" Carly asks.  

"That's the one. And no, he wasn't MOONING after me. Anyway, I met him in the hotel. He's here for a conference. He showed me around the city."

"So.... it was like a date?" Carly asks. 

Diana quickly objects. "No! No! It was not like that. We just bumped into each other. That's all. It's not like anything happened, or not really. I mean, we kind of are staying on the same floor and all." 

Carly is silent for a moment, her hands clicking away at the laptop in front of her. She lets out a gasp. "WHOA! I mean, I am looking at pictures of him right now, and..... DAMN!!! That boy has definitely turned into a MAN. Woman, you have to tap that. You aren't getting any younger you know."

"No! How can you say such a thing? I am a teacher and he is my student," Diana protests. 

 Carly counters back. "Was. You are a teacher and he WAS your student. A student from over a decade ago. Both of you are adults. Besides, there is no law against a teacher dating an EX-student." 

"No one is dating anyone and you should get that thought out of your head. And on that note, goodbye," Diana hangs up the call. 

As soon as Diana hangs up her phone, her stomach growls. She catches a glimpse of herself in the bathroom mirror. Diana walks towards the mirror and inspects herself. She stretches her skin, checks her belly, weighs her breast, combs her hair.
