College Affairs

Chapter 13

"Just friends?" You say a little hurt at his idea, "I think I prefer needy student."
"What? Why?" He asks surprised.
"Because I don't think I can get used to friends by day, lovers by night."
"Lovers?" He asks.
"Well how else would you describe us?" You snap. He holds his hands up in surrender.
"Look, I find it easier to be your student at uni than your friend, no offence-"
"None taken."
"It's just that I don't want people thinking- I mean I have a reputation around here for being someone who doesn't make out with her teachers." You start.
"So do I, students included." A corner of his mouth quirks up into a half smile. You can't help but smile back.
"Alright fine," you sigh when neither of you had said anything for a while, "I'll just be your student." The words tasted bitter in your mouth but that was the way this was going to go. A secret relationship had to be played well for it to stay a secret.
"My student you are then." He says trying to be cheerful.
"Hey," you say, your anger subsiding, "how about a quick make out session before you leave?"
His smile turns into a laugh, "Alright but just a quick one."
You smirk as you sit up in the edge of the bench beside Tom, his lips now sliding on yours.
