Chapter 18: Life or Death

The rest of the day went eventful. 

The majority of it, Aurora remained in Randolph's office, doing all different things. For a brief short of time, he tried to teach her how to play the piano but, very often she'd miss the key and ruin the melody; they'd laugh it off and resume trying again. But, it wasn't all fun and game. Some tasks couldn't be put on hold, not even on day-offs. So, while Randolph had to sort out some essential school documents, Aurora would occupy herself with reading a few books from his private library. But quickly, she'd got fed up with it and bore herself to death in the office. For lunch break, they'd drunk a cup or two of tea along with a few freshly baked cookies while chatting a bit, probing deeper about their life-stories, mostly about Aurora's. By the end of it, he returned once again to his headmaster's duties so, the girl decided to help by index the documents he no longer needed. And, just like that, a couple of hours passed by. 

At last, they decided to make a tiny break and relax in the seatcraft swivel couch. But, of course, that was not all they did, from time to time, a kiss or two would be stolen.

"Aurora," His soft, mellow voice called out to her in the distance."It's already nightfall, we've dozed off."

"What?" Aurora slowly rose up from his embrace, still rubbing and yawning off the sleepiness from her body."That can't be, I just closed my eyes for a few seconds."

"You can look outside the window if you don't believe me." He said with a cocky grin while making direct eye contact with her.

Aurora tugged a strand behind her ear, "Don't need to, I believe you." and, slammed her lips on his for a quick kiss."And I guess that's my cue."

As her hair hung loose he ran his hand through it, sliding it back her shoulder; the back of his fingers so softly brushing against her neck, earning from her a lip bite. She held in a moan at the pleasure of his touch."I would hate seeing you go but, you have to."

"Then, I'll come tomorrow!" She cheerfully said.

His right hand stretched towards her, reaching out for her, "I can't wait." and, caressed longingly her cheek with his thumb, lips stretched into a pleased smile.

(...)

"Where have you been, Aurora?" Louise asked, curiously watching the girl's hotfoot movements throughout the room, sprinting from one spot to another. "I've been worried sick, ya know?"

Aurora came to a sudden halt."Oh, just here and there." And, resumed the last of her chores while sweetly humming to herself.

She rolled her eyes at the vague response."You're not going to tell me ever, are you?"

Aurora shook her head and, felt her face growing warm just by remembering the shameless scene that had happened against the door of his office; she closed her eyes and, her fingers traced all the spots where he kissed her, starting in her lips and ending on her collarbone line. It felt like his touch still lingered in her skin. A shaky sigh exited her slightly part lips.
