Mystery lover

what are we?

*Jamie's POV*

After I entered and took my usual seat I noticed the beauty in front of me giving me the same look she had yesterday, the on that said she could tell something was wrong and wanted to help but didn't want to intrude. Before I managed to say anything to her she spoke, "is your mood because of what happened between us this morning? We can just forget that it happened if its not what you want." I could tell that it hurt her to say what she had just said and our time together this morning was so amazing. I wouldn't change it.

"its been a long morning but the time we spent together was amazing and honestly in my car outside your house was probably the highlight if my day and I wouldn't change it for the world. Just my morning had a really big turn and its not because of you at all I was told some pretty big news and well I just I can't accept it" I felt myself crying "the person who barged into my house was my best friend she is called Chloe Briggs and well she is also a senior at this school and well after I left yours I went to see her and her mum well she sat me down and told me that she has c-c-cancer." My eyes began to stream and Laura held me tight, she didn't know what to say, whatever she was expecting would have been far from this.

*Laura's POV*

Holy shit I was not expecting that. I thought maybe she totally regretted this morning but wow that was not even on the list of things that I had prepared myself for. All I could do was hold Jamie while she sobbed in my arms. I held her close, all I wanted to do was protect her.

Once Jamie had stopped crying she looked up into my eyes, oh how I wish I could read her mind, her watery orbs glistened while staring at me, I felt as if she was looking into my soul. How can I feel so attracted to someone I met only a few days ago? What I am feeling is so surreal, I don't know what I am supposed to say in this moment, the beautiful girl in my arms opened her sweet lips as though she was going to say something but before any sound came out they shut again and her eyebrow lowered. She wanted to say something but what, why was she so nervous.

"when I said this morning that I didn't know why I kissed you because my head is all over the place well um, I wasn't totally honest with you... I was scared to ruin our newly formed friendship and make you hate me. Your one of few people that seem to genuinely care about me and well I just didn't want to loose that but the truth is that whenever your with me, I feel safe and like I can be free. I feel like I can let down my guard that I have built so high. And well lately my head has been all over the place and the past few years have been the most difficult. I just didn't want to drag you into my mess and well I was scared that you would reject me. I don't know why I'm saying this now because well we only met a few days ago. I don't know if you feel it too but well, I feel like we were meant to meet each other. Every time I see you, I get butterflies and I feel like we have a connection."

My heart fluttered at my beautiful student's mini speech, from the way that she stuttered and how her voice trembled I knew that what she had just said was genuine and that she really did have some feelings. I understand everything that the teen had just told me, and I honestly felt the same, the butterflies, the connection. There is definitely something between us but what could we possibly do, she is a minor and my student and I am her teacher. A relationship would be illegal but what we did last night, and this morning had already broken that boundary.

I confessed again how I felt but I also told her my worries, if we get caught I could go to prison, loose my job and she could face a whole lot of issues surrounding her peers, her education and her life. I really don't know if the risks are worth it. I want to get to know this beauty that sits besides me but the consequences are extreme.

Jamie asked if I wanted anything to come from this and if I wanted to see where this could go. Something deep down is screaming at me to say no, that its too risky but my heart is longing for love and I genuinely think that there could be something real between us. I told her how I felt and that if we were going to see where things go that it would have to be a complete secret and that no matter what we had to be careful. Frankly, I just couldn't tell her no, I really felt something for this stunning girl, something I have never felt before.

As a response to my comment our lips locked yet again and my stomach exploded, how could a 17 year old do this to me? This was by far the most passionate and hungry kiss the two of us had shared. Just seconds into the kiss I felt Jamie's tongue grazing my lower lip, I separated them to allow her entrance and allowed her to explore within my mouth before fighting back for dominance. As the kiss got more and more heated I could feel Jamie's hands roaming my body, boy it was hot in here.

When we finally pulled apart we were both panting for air whilst resting out foreheads together. We smiled in sync, boy oh boy this was going to be a long year. I glanced at the clock and noticed that there was 15 minutes of Jamie's detention left so I sat her down to help her with the last of the worksheet that she was assigned for the class this morning. We managed to complete the sheet with 5 minutes to spare and as Jamie was sat playing a game on her phone which I had permitted her to do I swiped the device from her hand and she looked at me confused until I handed it back with the contacts app open and a new contact inserted: cutie😉<3 along with my number. She grinned at me before dialling the number so that I would have hers on my phone.

Before she left me room Jamie asked, "you know how you said about not telling anyone well would I be able to tell Chloe, I promise she will keep it to herself, and honestly she could do with some positivity right now?" the question caught me by surprise and I honestly didn't know what to answer, I understand that the two are very close and that Chloe is not in a good situation but should she really know about me and Jamie if there even is a me and Jamie? I figured that if Jamie trusted her then I could too, besides I really want things to work out so maybe if Jamie has one person to talk to about the two of us it will make things a little less tense with us along the way.
