The Teacher's Secret

Chapter 12

-Alison-

“Happy new year love,” Francine greeted me with cheek kisses as I alighted from my car.

“Happy new year to you too, Fran,” I beamed at her, returning her kisses.

“There’s something different about you,” Fran said leaning back a little to take a better look at me. “Hmmm…I can’t put my finger on it but something is different.”

“You’re seeing things,” I chuckled as I winked at her and linked my arm into hers as we walked to our favourite department store.

Fran laughed and promised me that she would get to the bottom of it by the end of our day out. The store was a bit crowded but we decided to go ahead with our shopping trip. We took the elevator up to the men’s department where Fran bought some things for her David. On a whim, I picked up an outfit for Jade. I wasn’t sure how he would respond to me buying him clothing or even if her would like what I had picked out for I was only accustomed to buying clothes for Gary -  who was way older - but I would find out, I guess.

As I stood at the cashier with the clothes in my hand, to my surprise, Gary came up behind me to ring up his purchase.

“I see you’ve found someone else to shop for,” Gary remarked.

“Is that any of your business?” I asked with a high degree of faux sweetness.

“I guess not,” Gary responded. “But now I see why you did not want to get back together with me.”

“Are we gonna get into this conversation here, Gary?” I asked.

“Nobody is listening to us,” Gary said, even as he looked around at the number of people behind him.

The store associate indicating that it was my turn ended the conversation. I paid for the merchandise and walked over to Francine who was waiting for me to go to the women’s department. We took the escalator up and we spent over an hour getting an array of stuff. I updated my wardrobe for work and was pretty pleased with my selection. I had got all my usual type of clothing but Fran made me put back several pieces, saying that I needed to look younger if I were going to date a younger man. I laughed and blushed when she indirectly referred to Jade.

“Ah, now I know what is different,” Fran observed. “You are glowing! You did it, didn’t you?”

“I don’t kiss and tell,” I laughed.

“You did it!” Fran exclaimed, forgetting that she was in a crowded store, and then clamped her hand over her mouth when a few persons turned to look at us.

“Shhh,” I said. “I’ll tell you all about it over lunch.”

“Now let’s go get some lingerie,” I said with a serious face. “Hmmm, I wonder what Jade would like?”

Fran and I laughed. This was turning out to be one seriously exciting shopping trip.

When lunch came, Fran was all ears. I laughed and blushed throughout the entire conversation. Fran was like one of those persistent reporters at a press conference who kept firing questions at whomever was giving the briefing.

Talking about making love to Jade made me feel all gooey-gooey inside and I could feel Lady Yum-Yum getting excited, so I crossed my leg and squeezed hard. Both she and I couldn’t wait for another opportunity to mate with him again. Jade and I talked several times on the phone since our s****l encounter but we had not make any definite plans as to when we would meet up again privately. Both he and I knew that school would re-open soon and we were bracing ourselves for the possibility of awkwardness or a whole lot of blushing and secret looks. Whatever happened though, I knew that this between me and Jade had to remain a secret.

“Welcome back my lovely students!” I beamed at my class a few days later.

“Thank you Mrs. Clarke,” they chorused. And soon thereafter, they were chatting among themselves and catching up on the social happenings.

The holidays were over and I was a bit happy to get back into a routine. Work is like a fountain of bitter and sweet. It brought me so much joy but at the same time, it brought me alot of stress. The only problem I had now was trying not look at Jade without revealing to his classmates that something was going on between us.

Hey Jade

Hey Ally…sup?

Hmmm…a spanking huh?

Sorry Ally but I have to run…latr

Ok

The chat had ended and I had made my way to bed, wishing that Jade was with me. After being married for so long and having someone in my bed all those years, I missed having a man with me. I missed the companionship and the mating. I wondered if one day I will have Jade beside me for always.

I turned my attention to my class and introduced them to the topics that they would be doing for the semester. The second order for that class was to have them present their History projects. I was mightily impressed by the presentations and everyone received an excellent grade. The bell rang and announced the end of the class and the end of the day. I was relieved to have the students leave but I had a few lesson plans to write and a PowerPoint presentation to create before I headed home so I sat at my desk toiling away.

“Hey sweet lady,” I heard and I smiled for I knew to whom that voice belonged.

“Hey Jade,” I replied, stopping a moment to look in his direction. “What are you doing here so late?”

“I am a member of the quiz team,” Jade replied. “We have a match next week. Why are you here so late?”

“I have work to do,” I answered. 

I stretched and a yawn escaped my lips. I was too tired on this the first day of school. Jade came to stand behind me and started to rub my shoulders. I relaxed a bit and allowed him to rub some of my weariness away. Suddenly, I remembered that I was at work.

“Stop, Jade. Remember we are at school,” I said gently.

“But we are all alone,” Jade said as he took my hand and pulled me to my feet.

“You may think so but people are always about - like the watchmen and sanitary workers. We have to be careful. I want this to remain a secret, ok?” I cautioned him

“Alright, but you are so tempting. Take me home with you Ally. Let me ease some of this tiredness I feel in your shoulders and see on your face,” Jade said temptingly.

“You’re such a teaser, Jade. You know your mom would never let you out of the house on a school night, worse, school has just begun,” I replied as I walked away to the small office to gather my stuff.

Jade followed and closed the door behind him. He held me from behind and started to kiss my neck. It felt so good and I was so tempted to tell him to continue when he used one of his large hands to squeeze my breast and pinch my n****e; however, I pulled away from his embrace and reminded him that we ought not to be taking such a risk but Jade was not listening. He stepped forward and put both of his hands by my jawline and to the base of my neck. I looked up at him and I was immediately drawn into the desire I saw in his eyes. I lowered my eyes to his lips and tilted my head to receive his kiss. It was as if we were destined to be forever interrupted as there was a knock on the door. We jumped apart as the door opened to reveal Jessica standing there.

“Jade, what is going on here?” she asked, suspicion evident on her face.

“Nothing is going on,” Jade replied.

“Then why is the door closed and it feels like I interrupted something?” Jessica persisted.

“We weren’t doing anything,” I offered but Jessica glared at me.

“Was I talking to you?” she asked. “Stay out of this. This is between my boyfriend and me.”

“I didn’t know you were still here, Jess,” Jade said as he moved towards her. “I thought you had left.”

“I had a meeting with Mr. James and my parents,” Jessica replied. “But that is beside the point, Jade. I just feel like something is going on here.”

“Nothing is going on, Jess,” Jade refuted. “Let’s go. I drove to school today so I’ll drop you off.”

Jessica gave me one nasty look before she exited the small office with Jade following close behind. I took a deep breath and sank down into my chair. That was just too close for comfort. Jade and I would have to be extra careful, especially at school.

After a well-needed shower, I entered my bedroom to my phone indicating that I had a message. I smiled at the phone when I saw the message.

Hey sexy (wink emoji)

Hey handsome

Sorry about today….I should have listened to you….I won’t let your sexiness distract me while I am at school

Sml….yeah…we nearly got caught…I think we should just try to be as normal as we can around each other when we at school

Aiite….that’s a promise…so what u up to?

Gonna go eat something and then go relax

Same…well…see you tomorrow

Bye

The week dragged by. Jade was true to his word and we did not see each other outside of class that entire week. When Friday came, I was happy. Fran and I had made plans to go to happy hour at our favourite bar and I was looking forward to it. Teaching could be such a tedious, hectic job at times but it was so rewarding, especially when you see your students succeed beyond anything you could have imagined. Tonight I would dance a little, laugh a little, drink a little and enjoy myself. I wish I could invite Jade out but we wouldn’t be able to enjoy ourselves completely as we wished.

Fran, the designated driver, picked me up and we were off to have some fun. The bar was a bit more crowded than usual and we had to look hard to find a space to sit. We were laughing and doing shots when I noticed a few glances our way. Jessica and her friends were seated at a booth not too far from where we were and I could see that she was pointing me out to her friends. I turned my head away and continued to take the shots but I felt mightily uncomfortable. I knew exactly what all that pointing was about. Try as I might, I just did not feel like laughing or enjoying myself anymore. Luckily, I was able to mask my emotions and I didn’t spoil the night for Fran.`

When Fran let me off that night I was glad for the time to think. What was I doing? Look at me. A teacher. In love with my student, having a standoff between me and a teenage girl over her boyfriend. Was it really worth it? I sighed. Maybe it was time to call it quits. Maybe I should deny myself the sweetness that my and Jade’s mating brought. There were many men who were interested in dating me but I had shun them, for Jade was the only one I wanted between my legs. Another sigh escaped my lips. This was going to be so difficult.
