Alexa's P.O.V

I watched Riley walk out of the coffee shop. I couldn't help but let my eyes wonder over her body. She was perfect. The way her dungarees hugged her hips. The way she turned up the bottoms of her leggings so they clung to her ankles. I closed my eyes reminiscing the events that haooened the last time I set eyes on the blonde. My feelings for her kept growing even when I had no contact with her. I didnt think that was possible.

My eyes re-opened as they roamed the blondes body again; she walked with a calm pace and a serene posture. She was the definition of beauty. When she caught me looking at her I couldn't help but blush. She was my student and I her teacher.

That's all I could think about since not speaking to her. I thought it would be easy not talking to her, seeing her, wanting her. But it wasn't. It was hell. I wanted to feel her like I did when we made love in her apartment. Hearing her moan, feeling her body tremble, feeling her skin, tasting her. I thought the space would help my feelings to dampen but it didn't.

It left me longing for her. I couldn't think, eat or sleep without her crossing my mind. It was my idea for the catch-up sessions and I volunteered to do it. Julia Edwards volunteered to hold catch up sessions for Yasmin, I couldn't help but feel relieved and happy that Riley and I got to spend alone time together for the next couple of months. The sessions would be after school, so it was perfect timing and I knew we wouldn't be interrupted.

I heard the bell ring and I knew I'd get to see Riley in less than 5 minutes.

I counted down the minutes and they were going slow. Too slow. Finally, the bell went, and I could get rid of my class. My class rushed in and Riley gave me a grin before entering the room.

She purposely brushed her hand across mine when she walked in; I felt my whole-body shudder under her addictive touch. I cleared my throat and told the class what they had to do.

"Riley, Can I see you for a minute please?" She smiled and nodded. She walked towards my desk and cocked her head to the left.

"Riley, I honestly don't know what to do about you and the work. The other guys are in the middle of their assignments and you've another 2 to do plus the one they have."

She stared at me in her thoughts thinking about what she was about to say. "Miss Scarlett, It's fine. I'll catch up on those assignments. If you want, I'll start the oldest on first if that's okay with you and then work my way through them. I know the circumstances of my absence will grant me a couple of weeks after the deadline was due."

I smiled. She was so mature and collected I really admired it. If I was in her shoes I'd be in full freaking out mode. "If that's what you'd like to do, I have no problem with that?"

She beamed me a grin. "Then give me the assignment and I will start on it right now."

She put her hands on my desk and her fingers ever so lightly brushed mine causing me to shudder. I looked up at her, she bit her lip. The throbbing between my thighs started to become prominent.

"See me after class. We have to discuss your work." She gave me a puzzled look, I handed her assignment and she walked off.

She got back to her seat and I couldn't help but look at her and Heather talking. Heather obviously had a crush on Riley, the way Heather pushed Riley a little and looked her in the eyes. Riley stared at Heather with a frown on her face.

She glanced to me and then started to read over her assignment. Every time I looked up I could see Heather looking at Riley, I felt a wave of jealousy, but my mind brought me back to Riley subtly touching my hands when she got a chance.

The bell went and Riley stayed put.

"Rile, you coming?" Heather looked at her with her eyebrows knitted.

The blonde frowned "I've got to stay behind and get my assignments because if you didn't notice I haven't been in for the past month." She smiled weakly playing it off.

There was something about the way Riley was interacting with Heather that I didn't like seeing. It made me uncomfortable and I didn't enjoy the feeling. I shifted in my seat until Heather left the room. When the door closed Riley walked over and stood next to me.

"You wanted to talk?" I looked at her.

"About work?" she grinned.

I couldn't help but laugh. She had a way around me that no one else did. "Yes, I did. Take a seat." I pointed to the chair next to my desk.

"Riley, you know the catch-up sessions that I was talking about earlier?"

"Well, I'm going to be sitting in with you when you have them. They're after school every Tuesday and Friday. Does that work with you?" She looked lost, distant.

She nodded. "Yes, that's fine. And what about Yas. Will her's be the same?"

I looked at her. "On the same days, yes. But Miss Edwards will be with her when she has them." She nodded. Taking in the information.

"Okay, that's not a problem." She nodded. There was an uneasiness in the room and I didn't know why.

"Riley, are you okay?" I asked.

She nodded but didn't speak. Something was grabbing her attention.

"Riley." I took her hand. "Talk to me, what's going on in that wonderful mind of yours?" She investigated my eyes like she was trying to find something.

"Please Riley, don't shut me out." She looked at me and she got up. She started walking around the room. I got up and I stood behind her. I pulled her into me. I felt her body tense up and something was different about her.

"Honey, please. Talk." I was getting scared. I'd only known her 3 months, but I hated it when she blacked out like that. It made me feel cold and my stomach tied into knots.

Riley turned around and sat at a desk. Looking behind me. "Alexa, who are those people in that photo? Where was it taken and when?"

I looked at the photo behind me. She was referring to the photo on my desk. "That's me, My childhood best friend and her sister. It was taken on Crosby beach and I think it was taken 12 Years ago or so."

She looked at me and she laughed. "This is crazy." She muttered.

I looked at her. "Riley? Please talk to me. You're really scaring me." She looked away and then she saw the fear in my eyes. She walked up to me.

"Come over tomorrow night, Yasmin's staying over her friend's house. We need to talk." She said sternly.

I'd never seen her this serious before. Not even with Yasmin. "But Riley, we can talk now." I pleaded. I didn't want this to be on my mind for 24 hours or so.

She shook her head. "Please, no. Alexa. Not right now. It's going to mess you up and I'd rather not let it mess you up on a school night where you can't focus."

I smiled at her. She was perfect. She knew more about me than I knew about me.

"Hey, it'll be okay. Trust me." She smiled as she cupped my face. She leant in for a kiss and I didn't object. I missed her lips, I missed her touch. Every time she touched me I felt the sparks igniting throughout my whole body and it was an amazing feeling that I never wanted to end.

The kiss was hard and passionate. She pushed me against a desk and I sat on it, she put her body in-between my open legs, her hands found their way down my bare thighs, she grabbed them lightly whilst nipping my lip which turned me on. I let out a moan and riley smiled into the kiss.

She pulled away. "Text me when you're on your way tomorrow, okay?"

I nodded. She walked off. I felt the warmth between my thighs and I blushed. What was this girl doing to me?
