Alexa's P.O.V- Present day

After I shared my story with Riley, somehow the connection we share got deeper. I knew I wouldn't be able to live without her again if she wasn't in my life. We stayed on the hammock for a couple of hours and Riley left to make another coffee for us.

I got lost in my thoughts for a while before I heard shouting. I jumped out of the hammock to see what the commotion was about. Riley was stood in the kitchen glaring at Heather whilst Yasmin was being held back by Jacob. Heather caught my presence e tering the room and she shot me a cold glare.

"You and Miss Scarlett? Really Riley? You know I could fuck you better than she can." My eyes narrowed. I can't do anything, she's my student and I'm in Riley's house.

The blonde took a step closer to Heather. "Get out of my house, or I will personally throw you out." I'd never seen Riley so angry before, it really turned me on.

Heather laughed. "Oh riley, baby. You know I can destroy all your lives if the principle ever found out about this. And Yasmin, I can get all your friends to turn on you like your shit on the floor. You- whatever your name is. I don't give a shit." Pointing to Jacob.

He was angry. "Look, lady. You need to leave. You're clearly unwelcome here. I will escort you out."

He let go of Yasmin, heading for Heather who stood her ground. He put his arms around her arms, picked her up and placed her on the doorstep, locking the door behind him.

We all shared a look before Riley turned to Yas. "I like this one, you can keep him." We all chuckled together. It was almost as if we were the cast of an American comedy boxset where the audience would chuckle at us.

"Guys, sit down we need to figure this out and you need to know everything." Riley got onto the floor and patted the glass coffee table.

"Right, okay. Firstly, yes Alexa and I are dating. But because of obvious reasons we can't go public about it. Secondly, that's Heather. She has a weird obsession with me and she somehow found out that Alexa and I are dating and she's using it to her advantage. Thirdly, Yas, I've got your back no matter what happens and whatever she does to your friends. You'll rise above it because I know that everyone thinks Heather is a sadistic sociopath."

Yas, Jacob and I all stared at Riley, trying to process what she had just said. "Are you all okay? Your looking at me like I just killed someone?" she asked.

I smiled. "Just taking everything in." I grabbed her hand and squeezed it. She squeezed it back and shot me a warm smile.

Jacob chimed in. "I love you guys being together and all but why don't you like keep low for a while till the psycho get's bored?"

Riley smiled. "That's what we've been doing but she's everywhere. How she got our address is beyond me."

I chimed in this time. "Maybe he's right. What if we just don't talk. Don't look. We don't do anything until heather thinks that it was a fling and we've moved on?" I looked down, I felt my stomach drop saying that, but I hate the fact that I'm partially putting Yasmin and Riley in danger.

Riley looked at me with a quizzical glint in her eyes, I had to strongly resist the urge to lean across the table and kiss her for comfort.

Yasmin slammed her hand on the table. "You guys can't stop being a couple, I don't care what that bitch does."

We all laughed in unison. Yasmin and Jacob excused themselves, Riley and I were left alone. Riley jumped up and asked me if I wanted a coffee, I nodded. I'm not getting any sleep even if I tried. The blonde walked to the kitchen, a moment later a smash of mugs could be heard. I turned around to Riley darting to the front door.

My instincts kicked in, pushing off the sofa and chasing after her, but she was halfway up the road. I caught up with her and she was following a silhouette. She pounced on them like they were her pray.

My jaw dropped, that heroic action turned me on and I wanted to pounce on her. I shook my head and I joined the pair. Heather was on the floor. Riley was whispering threats into her ear.

"If you ever come to my house again. You won't be able to live to tell the tale. Leave me and everyone that I love alone, Heather." She said her name like it was poison in her mouth. I even flinched at the raw bitterness.

Heather laughed "I'm usually on top but i'll let you top me tonight." She winked. The blonde was about to haul a knock out, but my arms were wrapped around her waist hauling her up before she knew it.

"Heather, go, now." I shouted sternly. Heather nodded her head and walked away.

I looked at riley, "Do not stoop that low, she-"

Before I knew it Riley had punched a wall. She shook her hand, she looked at me.

"Fuck." She muttered.

I took a step closer to her and she darted away. You're lucky I go to the gym once a week, Riley.

I sprinted after her, I have great stamina and it appears so does she. After we ran around 9 blocks she started to slow down drastically. I saw a patch of grass, last minute instinctively; I pounced on her like a hyena would with a gazelle causing her to drop whilst she had the brunt of my body weight.

We both laughed into the chaotic fall. "Can't you just grab my arm like a normal person?" she asked inbetween breaths.

I looked at her. "It wouldn't have been as theatrical." I laughed inbetween my panting.

We sat in silence for a couple of moments catching our breath. I looked at Riley's hand; it was bad. There was blood everywhere and I swear I could see her knuckle bones.

"Riley, we need to get that patched up." I nodded at her hand.

She looked at it. "Ouch." Her hand started shaking and she stared at it. Her adrenaline was wearing off. "C'mon, I'll drive you down." I laughed. She stared at me and then her mangled hand. "What's my excuse for the mess? I don't think 'there's a psychopath stalking my house and threatening everyone I care about including my teacher' is going to be a good excuse." She sighed.

I looked at her. "C'mon, I'll drive you down."

She looked at her hand. "Alexa, I can't go to the emergency room. I have an advanced first aid kit in my house. I know how to patch up wounds. When I clean it up, it probably won't be as bad as we think it is."

I stared at her, I leaned over, and I placed a kiss on her lips. She kissed me back harder deepening the kiss. She placed her good hand around my waist and her tongue asked for entrance to my mouth. I could feel my body temperature rising.

I pulled her on top of me as I let my hands wonder around her waist, then up her top. She let out a soft moan when she felt my hands on her body. Her good hand slid up my waist to my back.

She pulled away and jumped up. "First one to the house has to make the coffee." she chuckled. I jumped up and I used all my energy sprinting away from her.

Tonight has been a very eventful night.
