Fourteen | Mistakes & Painting

✺ Kira's POV ✺

I get that she feels bad but I made a mistake in the moment. At least that's what I told myself.

In the moment, kissing Aberdeen felt so right and it was. Her lips were soft and the moment was right, her hands on my torso and my hands softly placed on her cheeks, it felt so good in the moment.

I'd even forgotten she was my student, I'd forgotten about the large age gap we had or the fact that any of this would affect either of us outside of the file room.

However, the moment I did realize I felt like I needed to put some distance between us. That couldn't happen again, not at least while she's in my class.

On the other hand, I didn't want to think about her as my student more like she was one of the most gorgeous girls I'd ever seen. I wanted the moment to last long, the moment we had. Even just for a moment.

But unfortunately, the situation is complicated, more than I'd be comfortable with.

Aberdeen left in a visibly annoyed state and the second she did, I sat down and let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding in. I sat with what had just happened between us for a moment before I made the decision that it was definitely a mistake.

A big mistake I didn't want to spiral.

Letting her wallow in whatever she felt was for the better. She'll get over it eventually and we won't have to talk about it. I don't want or need to talk about this with anyone.

I decided to throw myself deep into the work I had to do for the rest of the day and only left to go home when the sun had long set.

Driving home was always peaceful to me, I lived in one of those suburban houses that are set right next to the seaside.

This means when I drive home I get the best of both worlds, in the morning it's a serene calm ocean with the landscape to back it up and in the evenings, I get sunsets that stretch past the horizon offering a soft range of colours.

However, the only downside is that I recently bought my house. Since Lucy and I used to live together the house we had was mainly hers so I moved out and bought my own place.

Now I'm left with a bunch of renovations to do, thankfully my family and friends had helped me do most of it and now I'm left to do the painting myself, and let me tell you, it's a drag on of an experience.

I've only been able to cover the kitchen and living room. They're currently white and no longer the appalling brown color they originally had.

I pulled into my driveway and sighed before stepping out of the car. I loved my driveway, I had a simple black gate at the front and a small garden light lighting the pathway. Small plants and flower beds add character to my place.

I unlocked my door and was immediately met with my pets, Juno, my Siamese cat, and Loki, my two-year-old Dalmatian. "Hi guys," I smiled as I saw them.

They are truly the only other people in my life that I love fully and unconditionally, they're my everything.

I said my hellos and set my stuff down before I made my way upstairs to change into something more comfortable so I could get to work and paint some more of my house.

My doorbell rang twice and I knew it was Sasha and her kids, Skye and Serenity. I went back down to open the door and I was right.

Like always Serenity was angry at her mom for something new and Skye was in Sasha's arms.

"You look pissed," I said to serenity.

Serenity is eight and is in that phase where she thinks she's old enough to make certain decisions that she isn't old enough to make yet. "Mom woke let me go to Dani's sleepover. Talk to her for me?" She pleaded as she walked in.
