As I closed my eyes, focusing on calming my breath, my eyes fell upon something written on the stall's wall. Squinting, I read the words, "Bella Smith. Call me I am desperate?" followed by a phone number. A mixture of surprise and curiosity filled me.
Holding my phone tightly, I thought, "Let's see how desperate you are, Bella Smith." Without wasting a second, I dialed the number written on the wall.
The realization of what I was doing hit me, but the bell was already ringing on the other end. I decided to give it a chance - after all, what else was there to care for in that moment of chaos?
A muffled sound echoed from the other side of the line. "HELLO, who is it?" a voice inquired.
I took a moment, hesitating for just a breath before responding. "This is Elijah," I said, the weight of the evening hanging heavily in my voice. "I saw your name and number in a restroom stall. Is this Bella Smith?"
And without beating around the bush, I directly asked, "Are you desperate?" There was a moment of confusion from the other end, and I heard her say something like, "Who is..." but I cut her words.

Behind Classroom Doors II- Excerpt:
I press my finger against his lips to shush him. He stares at me, watching my hands fumble over my buttons and undo each button. I move it off of my shoulders and let it slide to the floor. My bra is the next to go, I undo it and take that off too. Then I untie the jaw string of the joggers, all while watching his reaction. I pull it down and step out of it but not before my shoes and socks. I'm down to my panties, but it only takes me a few seconds to take them off too. Completely bare in front of him, I walk over and turn the shower on. "I'm sorry that I showed up in men's clothes but I will tell you everything." I open the shower curtain and get inside. The water hits me, running down my whole body. "You need to talk to me too. Because the way that you felt when I walked into your office, is how I felt when I saw you scared on the bathroom floor. I make assumptions and lose the bigger picture."
"What's the bigger picture?" He asks.
"That we're in love with each other." I hold out my hand for him. "Come in here, so I can show you how much I love you."
Shawn stares at my hand. Meanwhile my heart is beating so fast, I've never done anything like this before.
Thankfully, he takes off his clothes and grabs my hand.
