Chapter 14: Back Home

Eve P.O.V

    We are lying in bed cuddling, and after a while, we get up to get dressed and leave. I smile to myself as my mind goes back to the mind-blowing sex we just had. She was too sexy I couldn't help myself. Anything she does turns me on, like how can this woman be so hot?

    "Char, where are my boxers? I can't find them, " I yell as she is in the living room, tidying it up. I hear her giggle, and soon after, her footsteps follow. She walks into the room.

    "Which ones?" She asks, and I explain to her that I have lost my blue boxers with Skittles all over them. She rolls her eyes and points to my legs. I furrow my brows and look down.

   "Oh," I exclaim. She laughs and stares at me amused.

   "How did you forget you put them on?" She asks, amused by the situation.

"Honestly, I have no idea," I tell her, trying to think back when I put these on. "I guess your head was so good it gave me temporary memory loss." She rolls her eyes, but I can see she is trying to hide a smile.

    "Get busy, we were already supposed to be on the road hours ago." I smile with pride, not caring if we left yet. I just had amazing sex with my girlfriend, so I'm not complaining. She shakes her head and walks out of the room with a smile.

    I follow her to the living room, and she is folding blankets and putting them away in the cupboard. "Amore, come here," I tell her softly, and she looks back at me and smiles. She walks to me, putting her arms around my neck.

    "Yes, Bambina?" She asks with her smile still playing on her lips. I peck them and ask her what the plan is after we leave, but she gets a phone call.

   She looks at me apologetically, and I shake my head "It's okay it can wait, that's probably important" I shoo her off and continue picking up the living room while she talks on the phone. She walks to the dining room and sits on one of the chairs crossing her legs.

  I watch as she sits up quickly, and a shocked look crosses her features. I furrow my brows and continue cleaning the living room. A few minutes later, she comes back with the same shocked expression. She plops on the couch, looks at me, and starts to smile.

   "Well, what was it?" I ask impatiently, and she giggles.

  "I just got some pretty big news from the school," She says but stops talking. I sit beside her and grab her shoulders, gently shaking them.

   "What did they say? you can't leave me hanging like that. " The smile on her face widens, and the sparkle in her eyes shines brighter.

   "I got a promotion to be the principal because ours is retiring in a week, and they have known me the longest, and I'm the most suited for this position" She explains and I listen intently. her eyes shine with so much passion.

   She starts thinking and frowns, "What's wrong, amore?" I rub her shoulder, and she looks at me.

   "I don't know if I can take it. I mean, I've been teaching for over 12 years. What if I suck at this position? What if the kids don't like me as the principal? What If -" I stop her from babbling on by putting my finger over her lips.

    "Stop thinking about what ifs, and start thinking about if only.  If you really want to be a principal, then take the offer. You are such an amazing person, and you are very well-loved by the students at that school. I know you would make an awesome principal. amore mio. "  She smiles and tilts her head to the side.

  "I swear we switched souls or something because I'm acting like a teen and you're acting like a wise old lady" We both laugh and she pulls me into a hug "Thank you, Bambina" She squeezes me a little harder.
