The Sex Trap

7: The Morning After

Emerald on the side :)       

        The next morning, I awoke slowly and simply stared at my ceiling, playing back last nights moments over and over in my head. For weeks now I had been telling myself that he was my instructor and the things thst he did to me were a part of my training. I fought my self daily to stop any feelings i were developing in their tracks. But it didn't work in the slightest. Everyday my feelings for him grew. But my feelings started before the second phase of my training began. Maybe it was the night he rescued me. Or maybe it was the time that i saw those beautful eyes of his. All I know is, I'm hooked, and it's not a good idea for me to be. 

       When I got tired of thinking about a man I'd never have a dream of being with and my bed became uncomfortable, I got up and got showered and then dressed. I decided since no one was really up at this hour (it was almost 7 am), that I'd go for a walk. I snuck into the hall way and looked around making sure no one was out there. When I saw that the hallway was cleared, I made a break for it. As soon as I met the dawn and the cool morning air hit my skin, I stood there taking it all in and the i began to walk. The birds were chirping, It was quiet and no one was around. The birds were chirping and the air smelled sweet. These were one of the best parts of the day. I was half way down the block from the Academy when I heard as voice behind me.

"Evangeline is that you? Hey, where are you going?" some one yelled 

Damn it.  What, was I not allowed to leave the to go on a simple morning walk? I thought I was in the clear. I turned back around slowly and saw Eric with an amused look on his face. Parts of me felt at ease. And others, like my heart, revved at the sight of him. I slowed down a little and waited for him to catch up. He was dressed in a pair of shorts and a form fitting shirt-- now wet with sweat, with running shoes. It seemed to me as if he was coming from a jog.

"I'm going for a morning walk." 

"Well I'm just fininshing my morning jog. You mind If I walk with you?" He asked

"well...okay." I said slowly, surpressing a blush.

We started walking together, and on the way also decided to go to Starbucks for coffee. We had a little while before we were to reach it on foot, and that sentiment alone made me nervous. What if he wanted to talk about last night? I wasn't sure what I'd say about it. And even though Eric rarely made me nervous about those things...last night was completley different. I couldn't put my finger on it, but things changed. Whether or not I was the only one feeling it, I knew that they had.

Finally on the way we had run out of things to talk about and my fears were confirmed by the next statementto come out of his mouth:

"Evangeline I know this is going to be akward but.... I wanted to talk to you about last night." He said sheepishly

 "What about it?" I asked, trying to hide the nervousness in my voice.

"It was something new for you... did I go too fast? or make you feel uncomfortable?" 

"Well..I enjoyed it." I said quietly, looking down 

"I did too." He said 

I blushed furiously at this. 

"Cool. so is that my last lesson?"I asked 

He looked a bit stunned but said nothing about it.

"For now. You have to do combat training as the next phase. We'll start tomorrow. For today, you have it off." 

We walked into a Starbucks and got coffee. I got a Frappuccino while he got a hazelnut blend. We sat at a table and talked, the awkwardness quickly dissolving.
