Her Darling | L.W.

Chapter 15

"Oh my god!!" Dani screams as I run up to her, taking her in my embrace. We're finally here at the airport, picking her up.

"You're here!!!" I say, hugging her tight.

Larissa clears her throat from behind me. I let go of Dani and turn back to face the blonde. She raises her eyebrows expectantly at me, smiling with the work-smile. The one that's a bit fake.

"Oh, sorry. Dani, this is-"

"Larissa Weems, the principal of Nevermore." She says proudly, cutting me off. I frown at her, I hate being cutted off.

"Of course! It's a pleasure, I'm Daniela, Y/N's bestest friend in the world!" Dani says, shaking my secret lover's hand. "Thank you so much, Ms Weems, for letting me stay at the academy!"

"The pleasure's all mine." She says. I take one of Dani's bags and we leave back to Larissa's car.

"So, what do you want to do?" I ask Dani as we sit in the car. She sits at the backseat while I sit at the front with Larissa.

"Oh, everything! I want to see the town of Jericho, do some shopping, party..." She starts exitedly. Larissa shoots me a deadly side eye as she mentions the partying. Before I can say anything to Dani, Larissa answers instead. "Oh, I'm afraid Y/N isn't that much of a party girl."

"What? Of course she is! You should've seen how she was like back at home. We were partying so much!" She explains enthusiastically, clearly not realizing how embarassing this is for me.

Dani gasps and start giggling. "Oh my god, Y/N! Do you remember when you ended up kissing that one-" She says, but Larissa clears her throat loudly, cutting Dani off. The older blonde puts her hand on my thigh, I glance at her and then at Dani, hoping the girl wouldn't notice. Larissa doesn't seem to care about that. She keeps sliding her hand upper and upper on my thigh, leaving it at my very inner thigh. I let out a shaky breath I didn't realize I was holding. She just gives me a furious look every now and then.

"Girls, how about I take you to Jericho? You can do your shopping in peace while I take care of a few things." Larissa explains.

"Yes, that sounds good. Thank you, principal Weems." I say, feeling weird to call her that. And Larissa seems to feel that way about it too, because of the brief, sad eye-contact we share before she drops us off.

"Let's go!!" Dani squeals in excitement as we leave the car.

——

"We still have a little time... Oh, do you want to go to the Weathervane? It's the best café in town!"

"That sounds good!"

As we enter the café, I tell her that she can go sit down and I'll order. "The same as always?" I ask and she nods.

"Hey, Tyler!" I walk over to him to the counter.

"Oh, hi Y-Y/N.." He stutters a bit, looking even more nervous than usual.

"Are you okay?"

"Y-yes of course I am! What would you like?" He says, it's visible that he's gathering all the courage he has.

"Uhm, okay. Two cappucinos and two donuts." I say, pulling my card out of my wallet.

"Thank you, I'll start making your order." He says. I frown in confusion, asking: "Don't you want me to pay for it?"

"It's already paid for."

"What do you mean it's already paid for?" Now I'm really confused.

"Don't you know?" He asks. I shake my head no.
