Life Upside Down (Teacher/Student Relationship)

Chapter 18

*Ariel Collins*

As I woke up my whole body was sore. It felt weird and beautiful at the same time. Standing up, I stretched my legs, arms and back making it crack slightly. Ian sound asleep and seeing his cute face relaxed I decided against on waking him up. So I slid in his blue hoodie that he wore yesterday, which fortunately reached my thighs, and then I decided to wander in his house a little.

I thought I'd get on his library and see what books he liked. When I got inside the wooden floor creaked under my bare feet, making me cring. I didn't want to wake Ian up. I sat slowly down on his big chair and made a few circles, but stopped before I'd get dizzy. There were papers neatly placed on the center of his desk, a picture with him and a couple who I assumed were his parents. The woman had bright blue eyes just like Ian's and the man had noticable angles on his face that matched perfectly with Ian's There was also a girl and boy that were hiding behind Ian laughing. Smiling, I remembered my own parents. The troubles we had in the house and how everything fell apart slowly, then my smile turned into a deep scowl.

I'd love to meet his parents though.

Shaking my head at the awkward thought, I continued to look over his desk. There was a computer and a lamp. Also a modern pencil case and other little desk stuff. I opened the computer and looked over to his books until it was fully open and updated. There were Stephen King books and he had all the Harry Potter and The Lord Of The Rings ones. Wow we had the same taste. When I sat back down on the chair the computer was open and was full of games.

Gamer huh?

I checked all the games. He had Call Of Duty, Brothers In Arms, The Walking Dead, Cry Of Fear, Slender, Amnesia, Heavy Rain and other ones. I smiled widely as I have played each one of these games at least at once. I clicked on The Walking Dead and started playing through episode one.

"Damn you, you freaking zombie!" I growled and slashed his neck with the axe.

"What are you doing?" Ian yawned and ruffled his hair softly.

I blushed as I looked up at him and paused the game. "S-sorry, I just woke up and wanted to do something." I stuttered slightly and looked down at the desk.

Ian chuckled and picked me up, sitting down on his chair and placed me back on his lap.

"The Walking Dead huh? Haven't played it in a while." he smiled and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I have played all the games you have. You have a good taste.." I smiled and pecked his cheek then got back to playing. Ian stared at the screen, while his hands rubbed my hips, slightly distracting me.

"What are you going to do in New Year's Eve?" He asked out of the blue.

"I don't know. Ollie is probably going to be with her parents, Josh will go to his and Ryan left today back to Australia to spend his Christmas with his parents. I guess at home." I shrugged and avoided another zombie.

"Won't you be with your parents?" He asked softly. Instead I stiffened and glared at the screen.

"My parents are divorced and remember? My mom kicked me out of my house." I said. He then dipped his head and kissed my shoulder blades and whispered softly.

"I am sorry Ariel.. I-I forgot. But I think you should give a chance to your mother." He said and turned me to the side so he could kiss my cheek.

"No. And there is no way you make me change my mind so save your words." I said and wrapped an arm around his neck.

"Then how about you come with me and meet my parents and siblings?" My head shot up towards him and my following sentence came out so raggedy that I don't think he'd make out.

"What?Areyousurewhatiftheydon'tlikeme?" I looked at him as he chuckled loudly.

"Don't worry about that. I just don't want you spending New Year's Eve alone.." He pouted like a puppy and batted his eyelashes.

Groaning loudly I rolled my eyes and pecked his lips.

"I'll think about it okay?" I smiled and squeezed him on me. He slowly nuzzled my neck and kissed my neck.

"Ian, I have to go to work now.." I whispered and kissed his head softly, taking in his scent.

"Oh, but why? It's Christmas!" He pouted and blinked at me. I smiled and kissed his nose standing up, earning a slap on my ass from him.

"Ow! I know it's Christmas but I need the money.." I frowned a little and took off his hoodie, being completely naked. Thankfully he could only see my back.

"Oh now you are not going to work!" He laughed and run after me. Laughing as well, I run towards his room but before I was able to close the door behind me, he grabbed me by my waist and crashed me against him, kissing me fiercely.

"Ian! I have to go!" I giggled against his lips as he kept holding me close.

"Fine" He grumbled and settled me back on my feet, letting me get dressed.

"Come on let's go. I'll drive you there.." He said and grabbed his bike keys. Oh the gentleman!

Quickly, I slipped my shoes on, grabbed my backpack and followed him outside cautiously. When I saw people passing by, I hid my face with my hoodie and felt my heart ready to break in a million pieces.

"Don't worry, I'll be fast and no one will notice us together." Ian said, making me jump up, completely terrified that we got discovered.

"Damn it, you scared me!" I growled and got on the bike, burrying my face against his back.

After working for six hours I finally got back home. When I opened the door Ollie was there with her friend who I thought his name was Destiny. As I recall she really liked this guy.

Quickly retreating to my room I thought of how I should spend New Year's Eve. I should go visit mom for a bit and then tell Ian to come pick me up and we should go to his parents.

Sighing loudly I dropped on my bed and fell asleep as soon as my eyelids closed.
