Finally , after what seemed like centuries not just a few hours , the final bell filled the stingy little geography classroom. A smirk appeared on my face as I thought about what was going to happen in the next couple of hours. "Ok, so I want to take advantage of your happy mood want to go to the cinema or something?" Tom chimed. If he found out about staying behind with Mr.Sykes , He would torture me about it. I'd never live it down. Think of a lie Callie, Oh who am I kidding he'd find out when we sing together anyway. "Ehm I actually cant today I've got to see Mr. Sykes after school for a bit," I mumbled. "oohhh swit swoo you and Mr.Sykes huh?" he winked. I couldn't help but laugh. "Oh god Tom were singing a duet together we have to practice.Got to go I'll talk to you later."
I smiled as I walked down the corridor. I paused outside the door to the Music room and took a deep breath before knocking on the door. "Come in," his soft voice called through the wooden door. I softly twisted the metal door knob and quietly entered the room. He turned around as soon as he heard me close the door. "Ah Callie there you are," he smiled. "Sorry I'm late Mr.Sykes i got held up talking to a friend," I blushed. "Oh while were outside school hours you don't have to call me Mr.Sykes , you can just call me Nathan." he smiled. "And you went that late so relax." "Ok Nathan," I laughed.
"So any ideas about what song to sing," he questioned. I couldn't help but take a moment to marvel at him. His hair was blowing in the slight afternoon breeze coming through the window. "Callie?" he questioned. Crap the staring thing. I was really going to need to fix that if I was going to be spending time with him by myself. "Sorry kind of slipped into a daydream there eh I really like that Lady Antebellum song Need You Now." "No worries," he chuckled lightly. "Yeah thats a great song. Come over here and we'll give it a go," he said ushering me over to piano. I sat on the piano seat beside him as he began to play. I soft Music filled the room. God he is amazing. He turned to look at me as it came to my que to start singing.
"Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor," I sang gazing into his sparkling green eyes.
Not once during the song did I tear my eyes away from his. I could feel the gap slowly closing between us.
"Oh baby I need you now," we harmonized on the last line. He finished the last few piano notes. We sat there for a few silent minutes staring into each others eyes. He inched slowly closer and placed a warm hand on my cheek. My breathing increased rapidly as he slowly leaned in. I closed my eyes then I felt his lips on mine. I now knew what they talk out in books and films. It was like lightning , sparks , fireworks all in one. My first kiss. Oh my god my first kiss! With my teacher.
We both pulled away and looked into each others eyes smiling. "I probably should get going," I whispered. "Oh right ehm good work today you have a really beautiful voice and ehm that song should be fine we'll work on it more tomorrow," he replied smiling at me. I smiled back. His smile was infectious. "Ok thanks Sir ill see you tomorrow," "Please call me Nathan when were not in class," He laughed. "Right , sorry Nathan," I chuckled.
I slipped out the door and practically skipped down the school corridors. Did that just really happen? Have I just had my first kiss with my teacher.
All I know is I definitely don't regret it
