Cold love {teacherxstudent, wlw}

Part 62

*Danielle's POV*

I stand before Valentina's mirror, she said I should dress in a comfortable outfit, so I went with a jean and one of Valentina's hoodie, it's definitely comfortable.

I go downstairs when I see Valentina in her outfit, she has the same outfit as me, a hoodie and jeans, her combat boots already on her feet, she smiles when she looks at me.

"You are beautiful" she says, honestly she would say that even if I was in a potato sack, but I always appreciate it.

She comes closer to me, she starts playing with my hair "You know I always love these bows in your hair, they are so cute" she says.

I blush, my bows mean a lot to me, they are usually my favorite part of my outfit if I put one in "Which one is your favorite?" I ask her, I only know realise how much of a stupid question this was, she probably doesn't even remember-

"The pink one, but not the small one I love the bigger better on you, also the white with stripes or the plain one is adorable too, or wait your baby blue one or black one those are amazing too-" I cut her off with my lips.

"You are perfect" I tell her, she looks down blushing, wait did Valentina Powers just blush?

"Did you just blush?" I tease her, she looks down blushing even more.

"Shut up" she playfully says, "It's okay baby, you can admit that I just made you blush" I tease her further.

She shakes her head "Okay I think let's just go" she says taking my hand as she leads us out to her car.

She starts driving "Wait you said you have a garage, but you also have cars outside?" I say more like a question I already know the answer to.

"Yes, my cars in the garage are more for fun, the cars I keep outside are for more practical reason" she shrugs.

"Do you have a sport car?" I ask her, I always wanted to ride in one, more like race I don't think there is a moment when you feel more alive then when you are car racing.

"Yes, I have a few" she says "Why? Do you want to try one?" she asks me, looking over at me, her hand is already at my thighs, rubbing me through the fabric.

I blush "Actually yes, I always wanted to try racing" I say.

"Against other people?" she asks me surprised, I shake my head.

"No not really, more like alone, you know they have those long roads where you can just speed and let go but also against other people, I guess" I explain it to her.

She takes my hand and gives it a kiss "We'll do that then" she says "But I will be driving, I'm not letting you do anything remotely dangerous by yourself" she quickly adds, I smile widely.

We drive for another 20 minutes before I realise where we are "Oh my god Valentina" I jump in my seat.

"You remembered" I whisper as I see the helipad we come face to face with.

I jump out of the car as soon as  Valentina parks, she gets out smiling.

"You remembered I told you I wanted to see the city in the dark" I say stepping closer to her.

"I remember everything you've ever told me" she says taking my hand and leading me to the helicopter.

"Where is Sam?" I ask her, I can't see Sam anywhere maybe he just arrives later.

Valentina chuckles "I'll be your pilot tonight Ms Wilson" she says, I part my mouth slightly, I remember how she told me she could fly the helicopter herself but she won't.

"How?" I ask her "Well once you get the hang of it it's actually easy-" I cut her off "No, I mean how did you learn to fly a helicopter while working and going to law school" I ask her.

"I wasn't in law school when I started, you can start doing your license once you turn 17, so I did, of course I couldn't do it all in the summer, but it doesn't take more than 2 years, and I could finish it just before everything got hectic at work or law school" she explains it to me.

I nod "Does that mean you can fly a plane?" I ask her, this might be a stupid question but I never met anyone who knew how to fly a helicopter.

She laughs "No it doesn't, you give me too much credit darling" she says before giving me a kiss on the cheek.

I roll my eyes "Actually not really, I'm not the one who all of a sudden can fly a helicopter-" I get cut off when Valentina starts getting the gear on me, I roll my eyes playfully again.

Once we are both in our gear we sit in the helicopter, this time I sit in the front, Valentina in the driver's seat, she talks on the radio to someone before we take off.

Once the helicopter starts going up I'm back in that state I was in February, it's breathtaking just this time it's dark outside.

You can see all the lights when you look down, everything is breathtaking especially when I look beside me, a beautiful woman flying this, she looks so focused, she takes every turn so smoothly.

I swear this is my favorite place ever, being up in the sky, you can see everything so much better, like you are at the top of the world because you look down on everyone, it makes you feel a little powerful.

The air hits me over and over again and I love it, we go through the city, flying over everything, I was right this at night is definitely breathtaking.

I look over at Valentina who focuses but every once in a while she looks over to me and gives me a small smile.

I feel it this moment to, that love I have for her, I don't think I've ever felt love like this before, she is the only one I will ever feel like this for.

"I love you Valentina" I whisper, the wind is loud and Valentina's gaze in on the route before us so she doesn't hear, but I didn't want her to hear.

I just wanted to say it because of my selfish self who is so in love with her, I had to at least tell her in a way.

We keep flying through the city before we land, this time still in Philadelphia not in Boston.

I can't stop smiling as we get our gears down and get down from the helicopter.

Valentina immediately takes my hand as we walk back to our cars.

I can't seem to stop smiling "Thank you" I tell her before I kiss her, she smiles into the kiss.

"Of course-" she starts "No, not just for this, thank you for making me feel alive Valentina" I say.

She gives me a gentle smile, her hand caresses my cheek "Oh my beautiful girl, thank you for making me feel alive" she emphasizes the 'you', I smile before we get into the car.

"So this was my congratulation gift because I got into Harvard?" I tease smiling.

"You could say that, but not just for getting into Harvard, but for the road you took to get here, this is a really big deal Danielle, I really am so proud of you" she says, I wipe away a tear thinking about my mom again.

My phone rings all of a sudden, I answer it "Hello?" I say.

"Danielle you stupid piece of shit, get your ass back home now" my father yells on the other line.

"I- I can't now" I say maybe he'll leave it be then.

"You can and you will, if you are not back home in 5 minutes there will be consequences" he yells before he hangs up.

I look over at Valentina who now has a worried look on her face, we are still 20 minutes from home, maybe if I'm only 15 minutes late he will understand and won't hurt me that much.

"I-um could you please take me home?" I say to Valentina she shakes her head slightly "Danielle.." she starts her voice laced with pity.

"Just take me home" I tell her looking out of the window.

I feel more tears coming, he ruined our perfect moment, I know I shouldn't but I hate him so much and I miss my mom so bad.
