Outlawed Love

Chapter 5

When we got back to school it was slightly awkward between me and Shawn as I could still see him lay on top of me, kissing me passionately. Don't get me wrong, the way he threw himself onto me was such a turn on. But still, in here, I'm his student... He's my teacher. Nothing more, nothing less. When I got into class, I couldn't help but notice his slight smile as he saw we walk through the door. It made me feel special. I walked over to sit next to Bailey. "Girl, your heart eyes are so obvious for him." I gave him a shocked look, "What No! I don't like my own teacher?!" But I couldn't help but wonder, maybe I really did love my teacher. Maybe he loved me too.

"Alright class dismissed, Layla. May I speak to you for a second." I looked over to Bailey. "Don't worry I'll catch up later." Shawn closed the door and walked towards me. "So Layla, about last night..." I already felt awkwardness fill the air like a layer of smoke, consuming my lungs until I could barely breathe.. "It was just a slip Mr Cohen, it wont happen again." I hoped so much that I meant what I said, I knew deep down I wish I could have more slips with him, I smiled and left the classroom, astonished about what had happened up to now. I went from a nobody, to being the teachers new slip.

I knew that it was bad, I was certain I was falling in love with my teacher. It broke all the rules that I once followed. I just wanted to push him against a wall and smash my lips against his one last time. Each day it got worse and worse. We both knew that we liked each other, just from the way our eyes would meet in situations in class or how he would always be there if something had happened. I always felt like I made the wrong choice, but I still decided to say "Shawn... I want you, I want this..." I grabbed his hand. Surprisingly this time he didn't shake it off, instead he grabbed my other hand and pulled me to the other side so my back would hit the wall. I let on a lost laugh as I didn't know what else to do. "You don't even know how long I've waited for this for so long, from that moment I saw you I knew you were perfect in every possible way."

That was it, he kissed me so passionately I forgot that we were still in a classroom anyone could walk in but I never wanted to leave his lips again. The more we carried on the more love was shown before I knew it I was in love all over again. This time I felt like it was going to last!

Here we were all over again, we were at Gracies. The day he saved me from dying, he must of really cared. But this time it was different, we was sat across from each other, sharing a milkshake and meeting his eyes, I felt like I was falling so deep. The only thing keeping me from falling was the one rule we had, not to show our love in public. His sister owned Gracies (this was the first time I realized the shop was in memory of his sister) so we could have our daily drinks behind in the backroom, there we could be us. One of the limited spots we were allowed to be us. "Remember that day when we bumped into each other, and you wouldn't leave my side... Who was that girl, is she your ex wife now?" He looked sad "Layla, she was Gracie, my older sister." Straight away I knew that she was dead now. I held him tight and close "I'm sorry, I assumed that you and her were together and now I feel bad for being envious." He laughed a little, "So then, you have liked me for a while" I gave him a little push "Get over yourself." We both sat there laughing. Before I knew it, the sun was up. It was time for school again.

Schools was starting to get better as I got to see Mr Cohen everyday but it had its limits as I could barely talk to him or students would get so suspicious of what's going on between me and Shawn. I couldn't even tell Bailey, he was like a brother to me and I never kept anything from him. I will tell him eventually, just not straight away.

When English came along I could barely keep my eyes off him, he was so amazing and made me feel like the luckiest girl to ever be alive. I felt a slight tap on my arm. It drifted my attention from Shawn, it was Bailey. He handed me a folded up note. *I know somethings going on between you and Mr Cohen, just remember you can tell me anything. Love you lil sis <3* I smiled "Layla... Ill take that." I knew it was Shawn. I was scared for him to find out that Bailey knew, he wouldn't tell anyone. Would he?
