Emily's pov

I looked up at the clock only to realise a had ten minutes till the end of the lesson, ten minutes till the catch up session with Danni. I was trying to be cold and blunt with her simply because I wanted her to know that kissing her was desperate and stupid, I wanted to keep some of my dignity.

The fact that she hadn't mentioned anything yet striked suspicion, she was probably hoping to speak about it afterwards. Why else would she ask me to stay back? If it was me in her position I would avoid the situation as much as I can and I'm sure anyone else would too. I looked up to see her typing away at her computer again, just like she was at Starbucks that day- classy. She lightly nibbled the tip of her pencil which she didn't need because she was on a laptop. I watched her move the pencil from her perfectly sculptured lips, carefully placing it down and tapping her nails on the desk. She seemed anxious and I was happy to see that I wasn't the only one who was a ball of nerves.

I wasn't sure what I was actually meant to be doing, Miss didn't set me a task so I just remained in silence, taking in my surroundings.

When the bell finally rang, I gathered my things and stood to leave behind Isla in hopes of avoiding the next hour. I was halfway through the door when her voice called me back. "I'm starting to think you really don't want to be around me." Heat crept up to my cheeks as I swallowed and turned to face her. Damn she looked so pretty. She had a cheeky smirk on her face as if she was trying to test me. "Well?" She said after a while, I cleared my throat awkwardly.

"No, I do want to be around you Dan- Miss Wilson, but, I just, I don't know."

"You can call me Danni if you want." She spoke without hesitation. How did she do that?

"No, it's okay Miss." That damned smile still plastered across her face. I was starting to think there was something wrong with my appearance that she was trying not to laugh about. Insecurely, I looked down at my outfit, I thought it looked okay but I guess she didn't.

"You're awfully shy, Emily." She raised a quizzical eye brow at me before standing up from behind her desk, walking around the front of it and leaning backwards. "Did I do something wrong?" Ok. I could've sworn she was flirting on me. Not good.

"I'm the student, I should be asking that surely?" She looked down at her palms before looking up again, "Miss, we need to talk about-" she groaned like a child halfway through my sentence.

"I know I can't avoid this so lets get it over and done with. I had a rough day, saw you, and I don't know. Something clicked. If I knew you were my student I wouldn't of made the move." That in itself was painful to hear. I felt for this woman, and to hear that she pretty much regretted ever coming near me was just upsetting. "But-" she said, as if she could read my mind. "Technically, you weren't my student at that time." That was true but it sounded like more was to come. "I like you Emily and I know it's wrong." I felt my heart speed up in my chest. How was she so open about this.

"I like you too D-Miss Wilson, but this can't happen." Her eyes instantly filled with pain and I felt like a bitch but I am not worth getting in all that trouble for. "I wish it could but."

She sighed. "This is a mess."

"Would it be rude to ask how old you are, Miss?"

"Not at all, I'm 23" how was she so young? Were you even allowed to teach at that age?
Considering I was 18, it wasn't a big age gap at all and I wasn't a minor either so it wouldn't be as bad.

I don't know why I was even thinking about this.

"Shall we start with the work then?" I asked, breaking the awkward silence that had surrounded us.

"Sure, take a seat." She gestured to the one that just so happened to be next to her's, behind her desk. I timidly loitered over to the seat. Once I was seated she came and sat down next to me, adjusting her serious expression to a smile.
"So, let's get started."

Time went to fast and before I knew it the bell had rung to signal that the hour was up. Honestly, I was disappointed. I had come to realise how great Danni's company really is. I didn't want to leave.

"Same time tomorrow?" She looked up at me with hope in her eyes and it felt good knowing that she wanted to spend time with me as well- even if it's work related and professional.

"Yeah, why not?" Her smile grew with that and she rose from her chair and stood in front of me.

"This was fun." Ok, my ounce of confidence had suddenly left, leaving me feeling awkward and anxious again.

"What? Work?" She sighed at my killing the moment. She slowly leaned in a brushed her lips against mine before quickly pulling back. I could feel the predominant absence of her lips and it was depressing. "Bye Danni."

I left the classroom, closing the door behind me.
