You're mine

Chapter 8: T is for Talia

Leah's POV

"Talia?" I said to which she nodded. "That's a beautiful name."

She smiled and looked down, and I'm pretty sure I saw her blushing. "Thanks."

"You're welcome."

"Now it's my turn to ask a question."

"Oh, we're having turns now?" I asked to which she laughed a little.

"Yeah, my turn." she said to which I nodded. "Was Cam your first girlfriend?"

I nodded. "My first everything." I said, looking down but quickly looking back up, I wasn't going to get upset over this anymore. "My turn." I said to which she smiled and nodded. "Are you dating someone?"

She shook her head. "Nope, like I said, it seems I can't keep them."

"Maybe you haven't found the right person yet." I said without thinking it through.

She looked at me and blushed again. "Maybe..."

I smiled at her. "Your turn."

She nodded and seemed to think about a question. "What do you like to do? Your hobbies."

I thought about that one, what do I like? "I like to hang out with my friends, I love to help people and I love to think about stories."

"Stories?"

I nodded. "I have these ideas in my head, I can see them in front of me, like a movie."

"What are the stories?"

I looked at her. "About girls, it's mostly based of my real life but with a little twist."

"Like what?"

"I don't know. Like, magic or fiction."

She looked at me and nodded. "So your dreams actually."

I nodded. "One story is about two girls, having a one night stand. One girl runs away the next morning, dumping the other girl."

"That's not very nice."

I laughed a little. "I know."

"And how does the story continues?"

I smiled, she seemed very interested. "The girl that got dumped, she's pregnant."

"How's that possible? You just said they were two girls."

I nodded. "Yep, that's were the fiction comes in."

"Oh alright, so how's it possible?"

I shrugged. "I'm not sure yet. Like I said, it are all ideas in my head."

"Why don't you write about these ideas?" she suddenly asked to which my mouth dropped.

"You mean like a book?" I asked to which she nodded. "Why would I do that?"

She shrugged. "I don't know, your ideas just seem interesting."

I looked at her and smiled. "Thanks." I said and smiled. "Anyway, what are your hobbies?"

She seemed to think about it as well. "I guess I just love what I'm doing now."

"Which is?"

"Listening to people, helping them if I can."

I smiled. "And I'm happy you are."

"So am I." she said and smiled. We sat there for awhile, smiling at each other, looking in each other's eyes... "Anyway, I guess we should go home." she said and got up. "Your parents must be worried."

I huffed. "No, they're not."

"Don't say that, I'm sure they are."

I looked at her. "No, they're not, they're not even home."

She looked at me and dropped her stuff again. "Where are they?"

"On a trip for work, like every school week. They only come home during the weekend." I said and sighed. "But don't worry, I'm used to it now."

"Well, let me give you a ride home to make you feel better."

I looked at her and smiled. "I think you're doing that more for yourself than for me."

She smiled and took her stuff. "I'm not denying that."

We got to her car and drove to my house. I gave her directions while she just followed them and was quiet. I had expected her to say something, but I don't mind her being quiet.

"Thanks for the ride, T."

"T?"

"Yeah, that's how I'm calling you now." I said and smiled.

She smiled too. "Well okay. You're welcome, Leah. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yeah, bye." I waved at her until she was gone. After that I entered the house.

I started making dinner and watched some tv. After that I did my homework and got to bed. While I layed in bed, I couldn't stop thinking about Miss Jacobs, or T as I'm calling her now. It was really nice talking to her like we had done today.

I kept thinking about what she said. Every day and every night, I had these ideas in my head. Maybe if I write about them, I'll have a good story... But how do I start a story? Which one will I choose first? Where will I write?

I sighed deep. T certainly had given me things to think about. She definitely has become a friend, she's more than a teacher to me. And I don't know if I'm right, but I think I've become more to her too. I think we're friends...

Talia's POV

As I drove away from her house, I watched her wave at me. She was really nice.

As I arrived home, I immediately started making dinner. I ate dinner while I graded some papers. After that, I got in bed and sighed deep. I looked besides me, there was an empty spot. Thinking back at what Leah had said: maybe I hadn't find the right person yet...

Who would be my right person? And why was I thinking so much about her?

I kept thinking about the talk we had in my classroom today... It really was a nice talk, I really enjoyed talking to her. I wonder if she enjoys it just as much. But I do think she does, she always smiles and gives me compliments...

Cam certainly was a lucky girl for having Leah. I can easily understand her for wanting to fight for Leah. Leah's amazing, she's so nice and caring. I do hope Cam stays away though, from what I've heard, she isn't the right person for Leah.

One thing was sure though, Leah is not only a student to me, she's more, she's a friend.
