Life Upside Down (Teacher/Student Relationship)

Chapter 16

*Ariel Collins*

I woke up to find myself extremely warm and let me tell you it wasn't from the covers. When my eyes flattered open, I came face to face with a white jumper and a chest hiding behind it. My arm was drapped over the person's waist while his hands were one wrapped on my head and the other on my hips. Smiling I slowly sat up trying not to wake Ian. He seemed peaceful and the way his hair was kind of falling in his eyes made him so cute.

Then the door opened and Heaven got in wagging his tail. It mustn't have closed well, so he probably just pushed the door and got in with his cocky attitude as always. Jumping on the bed he settled on my lap quickly, completely ignoring Ian. I smiled, stroking his soft, silky fur and stared at his green eyes.

"Morning." Ian mumbled beside me and stretched tiredly. My eyes roamed over his body for a second and then went back to Heaven.

"This is Heaven." I smiled at the cat on my lap but stayed in alert in case Heaven was bitchy to him and tried to attack. That happened a lot and mostly to Nick which was why he hated him. Ian stretched his hand and pet Heaven who's hair shot up and moved a little behind.

"Oh, oh leave him! He'll scratch you and he is a very grumpy cat!" I whinned, pulling Heaven away. But Heaven as the little prick he was connected his paw with Ian's top hand and scratched him.

"Ow!" Ian moaned slightly. I turned to see that the little scratch on his hand started bleeding a little and threw Heaven out of the room. "Out!" I yelled and closed the door at the meowing cat.

"Are you okay?" I frowned and went over to my bedside table to grab a bandage and cleaned Ian's hand. "It's okay, just a little scratch." He laughed and stared down at my hands working on his. "I'm not giving up. I'll make this cat like me." That made me laugh. Heaven didn't even like his own guts. He only liked me and Ollie but that was just because she was feeding him.

"Why are you laughing? I'm going to do it!" He laughed though and that made me definitely sure that he wasn't sure either. "As you wish." I smiled and threw the bandage away. When I sat back down on the comfy bed, Ian wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close to him, crashing his lips down on mine. My hands went up to his hair and instictively inside his shirt.

I was about to claw him a little when I remembered how mad he got every time so I pushed that thought aside. In a swift movement he picked me up and made me straddle his hips. His one hand had me pinned on him while the other was tangled through my messy red hair. We kissed for a bit when the door knocked making us break the kiss and sit down next to each other.

"Hey guys. Morning. How was sex last night?" Ollie smiled, obviously liking the fact that both Ian and I were blushing like crazy. "We didn't have sex." I grumbled and glared at her. Her smile brightened and she opened her mouth again. "I'm making breakfast. You want some?"

We both nodded and she left the room quickly. "Is she always like that?" Ian asked rolling to his side to stare at me softly.

Cracking my head and knuckles, I nodded, "Yeah pretty much."

"Don't do that." He said, placing a hand over mine. "Why? I like it and it pushes my nerves aside." I shrugged and let him keep his hand on mine.

"You're so stubborn." He smiled and snuggled close to me, placing his head on my lap. Smiling back I run my hand through his hair again.

"Can I ask you something?" I finally said. I needed to know and this whole illegal thing was actually killing me. I needed answers and I needed them now.

"Mhm.." He mumbled his hand rubbing my leg softly.

"Um, are we.. Um are we together?" I hesitantly asked making him stiffen for a second. Then he rolled over and stared up at me. "Do you want us to be together?" He shot back, giving me that eye look that made me drool endlessly. Looking down at him, unable to look away I stuttered,

"Well, uh, since I accepted going on a date with you and all.. I suppose I want?" I asked, mentally slapping myself for acting like an idiot.

"Well then." He sat up and cupped my cheeks, kissing me ever so softly when Ollie barged in.

"Breakfast's ready!" She yelled and left the door wide open. Ugh, what a party pooper! She always had to get in when we were kissing and stuff!

"Let's go." He smiled and took my hand, pulling me up to my feet. As we passed through the narrow hallway, Heaven found his chance to scratch Ian at his jeans. 

"Heaven!" I growled making him hiss and run to my room. Looking over at Ian he was chuckling and shaking his head. "Don't worry, this just makes me more eager in getting him to like me." He said in cue. I smiled and led him towards the kitchen.

"Sit and eat!" Ollie said as both Ian and I sat down next to each other. Eating slowly what Ollie made us, made the silence surrounding us more awkward after every passing second.

"Come on guys say something." Ollie groaned slightly. Both Ian and I shot our heads up, looked at each other and then over at Ollie.

"I-I have to go to work." I finally said and run to my room to change my clothes. I slipped in a pair of baggy sweatpants, a Veil Of Maya hoodie and my converses. When I got out and Ian saw me, a smiled creeped up from his face. I looked up and down my clothing and looked at him with a confused expression. 

"What? Do I have something on me?" I asked, as he got right in front of me and smoothed out my hair. "Just bed hair." He smiled wider than before and dipped his head down to kiss me. It took me a while to relax against his arms but soon I did respond to his kiss, running my fingers through his messy hair. 

When he pulled away, he blinked rapidly making his eyes look a shade of grey. How could his eyes change from bright blue to dark and end up looking grey, I would never know. "You work?" He asked suddenly as I walked over to the living room, to pick up my bag and throw things that I needed inside, Ian on my heels. "Yeah, why?" I asked confused as I grabbed an apple from the fridge and motioned for him to follow me outside.

"Where?" He asked again, trying to keep a distance since we were out. 

"I'm a tattoo artist." I told him and opened the garage door so he could take his bike out.

"Tattoo artist? Cool." He siad, not at all seeming enthusiastic. 

"I need to make money somehow mister."  I poked him in his side, making him hiss in reply. "That's the only thing that I know and can do." I shrugged while got on his bike, right after him.

"Fine, fine! I didn't even object!" He chuckled and started driving me towards the shop. When I got down, I pulled my helmet off and Ian pecked my lips quickly, making me blush in respond of his action. "Have fun." He whispered and I smiled skipping into the shop.

"So?" Josh said with a creepy wicked smile. Oh that sick stalker saw us!

"Well we're dating!" I jumped up and down excitedly.

It sounded weird saying that. My gorgeous teacher was dating a delinquent like me. But damn, I was enjoying it as hell!
