Crushing on Miss Grayson

Chapter 17

Today was graduation day and it dragged. I thought it was going to be more exciting and it probably would be for the students who actually studied interesting fields. Kate for example, she would be proud of herself considering she's finished her Bachelor in Peds but she's going to Uni again next year to do a masters degree or something, to get in a higher position. Whereas Lauren and I just studied communications.
Once we received our certificates, had photos taken we were standing around having a few drinks with the other graduates. Harper was there as well as some other lecturers. She looked so fucking stunning. She was wearing a dark grey pantsuit with black heels. Her hair down and wavy along with her glasses. Our eyes have pretty well been inseparable but we are trying not to make it obvious.
I was having a drink with Lauren and Kate, I was bored out of my brains.
"Guys, I literally want to get out of this fucking gown and have a real drink" I spoke
"I second that" Lauren added
"Why don't we all go out tonight? We won't get smashed because well... That didn't exactly end well for me last time. We'll go somewhere nice, some where we don't usually go" Kate stated
"Yeah I'm in, where though?" I asked
"There's a few places in the city that have semi-decent priced drinks and is nice" Lauren suggested
"Alright, we'll suss around and head there tonight, let's say around 7.30?" Kate added
"I'm in!" I stated.
Harper approached me while I was by myself getting some juice.
"Well hello Miss Grayson" I smiled
"Kaede" She replied firmly
"So listen, I had a think about what you said last week... About the dating thing and I haven't exactly decided but I would like to have a date with you so are you free tonight?" She asked, I was caught off-guard.
"Oh, the girls were planning to go to town tonight and celebrate graduation..." I spoke, she seemed disappointed.
"But I'll cancel, I'll go out with you!" I added
"No that's okay, enjoy a night out with your friends" She replied
"No, I rather be with you... Come with us?" I suggested
"I'm not exactly a Uni graduate. Don't think your friends would like a 29 year old lecturer ruining their night out" She replied
"They won't give a shit... Trust me and even if they did have a problem, I'd just ditch them to hang with you" I smiled, trying to make her feel wanted.
"Okay... I'm in. What time would you like me to be over? Should I drive?" She asked
"No, drink with us. Have a night off. You don't always have to be deso you know" I smirked
"I don't really drink... Trust me, you don't want me to drink" She replied
"Oh and why's that?" I smiled
"I can get pretty... Wild" She replied
"Pffft, old Miss Grayson? Wild... Please..." I joked
"Old! Excuse you!" She giggled as she shoved me.
"You two should get a room" Kate mumbled as she walked past. Harper immediately straightened herself up.
"Don't worry, I've graduated now. Nothing to be worried about" I stated
"Yes but we are still technically at Uni and I am working" She replied
"You worry too much. Can't wait to see you loosen up tonight" I smirked. I grabbed her ass quickly as I walked off. I turned to her smirking at me.

The night came quick. It was 7pm. Harper will be here any minute.
"Can't believe you actually invited Harper out. I'm proud of you, dating and all" Lauren stated
"Yeah, well she makes me want to change for the better..." I replied, I actually couldn't believe I just said that to be honest.
"Wow, Kaede is stepping up" Lauren spoke
"We'll see how long you last" She smirked
"Lauren..." Kate stated
"Nah it's fine..." I replied
"I know it's different for me and you're probably not going to expect it to work. Heck, I don't even know if I expect it to work but I'm going to try" I replied
"I'm proud of you Kaeds" Kate smiled.
I heard the doorbell.
"I'll get it!" Lauren stated, oh god.
Sure enough, I heard Harper's voice. She walked down the hallway and entered the kitchen. Wow... She was wearing this short white dress, it wasn't heaps tight but it still looked amazing and it really pushed her tits up. Her hair was still down and wavy. Although she wasn't wearing her glasses, I was surprised.
"Hey" I smiled as I gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"You look amazing" I whispered, she blushed.
"Just ordered our Uber, Praheet will be here in five minutes" Kate spoke
