Chapter 20- After Effects

Emily's POV

Restlessly, I laid awake next to Danni. Her naked body was lazily sprawled beside me, with her leg resting over mine and her hand against my chest.

I hesitantly turned to check the time, trying not to rouse her at all- the cheap travel alarm clock read 3:22am. Danni had no long since fallen asleep- I did not actually realise how long we had spent in the shower, before we moved to the bedroom and carried on.

I untangled our legs enough so that I could move slightly and slipped out from under the sheets. I couldn't see Danni stir in the pitch black hotel room, but the sound of her light snores still filled the room so she was still resting.

Noiselessly, i made my way over to the bathroom and locked the door behind me. Once the door was closed, i switched on the light- I didn't want any rays to pool into the room and wake Danni.

I lowered myself down onto the toilet seat- with the lid closed- and put my head in my hands. I had practically given up on any chances of sleeping and wasn't at all fatigued so allowed myself to get lost in a stream of thoughts.

This entire situation with Danni was one of the weirdest things i had managed to get myself caught up in- if not the weirdest. But it also felt like one of the most natural things ever.

I had never before even considered being with a female, but to think of the female at hand being my English teacher was absolutely absurd. We are two completely different people, at two completely different stages of life. However, after talking today about the future- our future- everything just seems to fit together perfectly. My completion of school is just around the corner and she is planning to change the school she works at, which allows us to have a complete fresh start. Eventually we will be able to tell our parents when the entire school ordeal is over.

But it just seemed too perfect.

I never have to second guess myself around her, it all just feels completely normal and natural. I can be completely me in her presence and we are both so similar. I cannot recall a time i have ever felt so strongly about a person.

I eventually got up and went back into the bedroom. As i turned to face the room after making an effort to silently close the bathroom door, Danni was sitting up awake beside the table lamp, with the slightest amount of light gently illuminated her face and her tired eyes.

"Hey, how come you're awake?" I moved next to her and wrapped my arms around her waist.

"I had a weird dream. But since I am awake, we should talk, Em."

Her vagueness instantly filled me with panic and dread, which I tried to swallow down before speaking. "Sure, what's up?"

"You make me happier than i have ever been before. You're an absolute gem and and fill me with warmth whenever you enter the room." She paused briefly and seemed to consider.

"Why do I sense a 'but', Dan?"

She took my hands off her waist and held them in her own before turning to face me, she looked into my eyes for a while before she chose her next words. "Because you do." She looked away as she said this and my mind raced to the worst case scenario. She didn't want to do this anymore, for certain. "This isn't enough for me."

I almost choked on nothing but despair as she spoke, it should have been much more obvious to me before that this was too much for her. She was a grown woman, why would she wish to spend her time chasing after a child? Her student?

"Danni, I don't-"

She instantly cut me off mid-sentence and I was glad because I didn't really have any words. "No no, let me finish please." She paused for a while before continuing. "I want more. We've been seeing each other for a few months now, and they have been some of the best months of my life. And tonight was amazing. I want you to be my girlfriend, if you would do me the honour."

I had never seen her so awkward and shy, it was the most precious thing I had ever seen. The conversation had taken the complete opposite turn to what i had expected and the relief I felt was indescribable.

"I would love nothing more." I pulled her face to mine and kissed her deeper than i ever had before.

The happiness i felt in that moment was immense.

A/n: I'm still struggling to grasp if this was an expected turn of events or not?? I guess it was a bit of an impulse inclusion but their entire relationship is pretty impulsive so shh.
Things are looking up for the pair but it will not always be this easy for them- sorry about that :))
