glass touch

Chapter 19

Throughout the rest of the day, I still felt Aaron's kiss on my lips, my neck,my collarbone, everywhere his lips touched me. I kept rubbing my lips to make sure he wasn't actually there.

It was odd. Ever since he kissed me. I've felt different about him. I can't complain about his weird attitude anymore without feeling even just a little bit guilty. Every time I think about him, my heart beats a little slower and I can't help but sigh. I don't want to say I'm in love because I know I'm not....i don't think I am. We just haven't known each other long enough, no mater how long it feels like. But he has this affect of me that I cant place... something that cant be defined.

Im still thinking about it when I knock on the door to Kieran's office in the Fencing Room.

"Come in!" Kieran's voice muffles through the door.

I open the door. Kieran is sitting with his feet up on his desk, using his ankles to push himself back and forth a little in his desk chair. His hands are folded over in his stomach and he eyes me with curiosity though he still gives me a kind smile. He points to the chair across from his desk.

"Sit"

I drop my backpack onto the floor and slowly lower myself into the seat.

"What did you have to talk to me about?"I asked him a little nervously. I still don't know if I was in trouble or not.

Instead of answering me, Kieran stood up from his seat and walked over to the end table in the corner of the room. There was a coffee pot there that was filled with freash coffee. I watched him as he grabbed a mug from beside the pot and started pouring coffee into it.

"Aaron is...interesting isn't he?" he asked me then put the pot back where it was and leaned against the end table. He looked up at the ceiling as if he was daydreaming as he talked. "I've always marveled about how different he is from everyone else. Of course its okay to be diferent, but he's just not different, he's....different in his own way. Which reminds me how are your tutoring sessions going?"

He took a sip of his coffee. I watched as the liquid dripped from his lips,

I shrugged.

"I mean... they're okay." I answered, even though truly I couldn't wait to see him again.

"Okay?" Kieran pleaded. Setting his coffee cup down on his desk and sitting back down again. He kicked his feet up onto the corner of his desk, just like before. "I would expect a little more of a description."

I sighed I didn't want to talk to Kieran about my boy issues. I was already frazzled enough about all of the confusing shit that Aaron gives me. Kieran would just give me more. I decided to be as short as possible with him, just so he wouldn't badger me even more.

"Well... I mean he's alright." I mumbled nodding at him.

Kieran sighed and shook his head.

"I guess Aaron doesn't really matter in this. Just know that I put you two together for a reason," he purred. Then took another sip of his coffee. I was about to argue with him to get him to tell me what that certain reason was but I was just too tired to care. "Have you been learning a little more?"

"Yes I have been, Aaron is a good teacher." When Aaron's name came off my lips my heart skipped a beat.

Suddenly the door opened and Vivian walked into the room, her gorgeous golden blonde hair flowing behind her. Today she was dressed a little more casual with a foral skirt and striped top. I know she had to be older but she didn't look like she'd aged a day over twenty. She dropped a stack of papers on Kieran's desk.

"You really shoudlnt put your feet up on your desk. It's unsanitary. And I need these papers filled out ASAP." She teased then saw me. she gave me a little wave. "Hello Caitlyn."

I grinned at her.

"Caitlyn and I were just discussing her tutoring sessions with Aaron." Kieran informed getting up and walking towards Vivian.

His face was close to her's and for a second they locked eyes. Then Kieran leaned in and pecked her softly on the lips. I could tell just by the way they looked at each other that they were deeply in love and deep down on the inside. I wished I could have something like that with someone. Cass was someone I was interested in yes but he didn't really seem like the kind of guy to have a steady relationship with someone. It was too hard to take him seriously at times. And Aaron is just too confusing.

"But I still don't think you should be letting Aaron tutoring her." Vivian scoffed, then turned away from Kieran and began sorting out the stack of papers that she'd put on his desk. I was a little offended. I hated it when people talked about me like I wasn't in the same room as them.

Kieran rolled his eyes.

"You know who I think should leave Caitlyn alone more? Cass. The kid butts in on things way too much." Kieran spat.

Vivian looked over at me. I was wondering why my relationship with Cass and Arron matter when she nodded towards the door to Kieran's office then eyed me carefully.

"Caitlyn, Kieran and I have some business to take care of. I'm excusing you to go back to your room." Vivian concluded.

I picked up my bag and threw it over my shoulder. At this point I would use any excuse I could to get the hell out of that room.

"I wasn't done talking to her."

I looked back at Kieran. Now instead of looking at the oblivious Vivian who had her back to him and was pouring herself some coffee with a look of love and compassion he looked at her as if he could envelp her small neck within his grasp and squeeze the life out of her.

Before anything else could happen I rushed out the room though I still heard Vivians voice echoing behind me.

"Kieran you know how Aaron is when it comes to Caitlyn..."
