Chris stood up, no one hurt his Nicky.

Nicky looked up and saw the look in his eyes. It was like nothing she had ever seen before and it both thrilled her and made her nervous at the same time.

Nicky stood up “I'm sure he's gone now and even if he's not well he's Gregory Bryant's father you can't hurt him”

“But he can hurt you?” Chris almost sounded confused at this injustice.

“Well no” Nicky said walking over and patting his arm. Heat poured through her as he put his hand on hers, their eyes locked and she slowly whispered “Is my head al-right?”

“It will recover” He replied softly “that’s all anyone can do for it now but it will heal soon enough”

Oh god if she spent so much as another minute in Chris Williams' company she was sure to kiss him again “Right” she said briskly “I should be going then, need to get home”

Nicky tried to leave but Chris held firm not wanting to let her slip away from him again so quickly, he wanted to take as much of her company as he could before he had to go back to pretending he saw her as just a normal average student. Unfortunately he was having trouble thinking of a reason for her to stay.

Then she looked at him, those beautiful emerald eyes, which had haunted him for two lonely months, widening in shock “Please sir I need to go”

Then it hit him “I'll drive you” perfect, now he could get more of her wonderful company and make sure that she got home safe it was a win win situation and she wasn't likely to refuse.

“No you can't!”

Chris frowned or maybe she was “Why not?”

“We can't be in the same car together” Nicky said once again trying to leave and not succeeding.

“Why not?”

Nicky blushed “Last time we were in such a confined space we kissed, I don’t know how much longer I can resist you”

Chris leaned down “Then don't resist” he whispered in her ear.

She slowly moved her head so their lips were a mere inch apart, she felt his hand go limp so she quickly moved her hand free “I have to”

Nicky ran out of the classroom more than aware that the fast movement was making her head ache but she knew that if she so much as slowed down she'd walk back and kiss him with all of her newly discovered passion and that was certainly not a very good idea at all. God for one thing Chris was quite a good teacher from what her friends had told her and there was absolutely no way that she was going to ruin his career before it had even took off. She had to wait she knew she did no matter how tempting he was.

Sitting on the bench at the side of the building, knowing full well that Chris wasn't going to find her there unless he went well out of his way, Nicky took some deep breaths. It was times like this that she hated being so unfit.

What had she been thinking? She should have left the moment he had entered the bloody room. At the very least she should have sent him on his way the very second he got the first aid kit for her but no she had let him stay and almost kissed him again! Not her wisest move at all, still at least she had made things right by resisting temptation and running out when she did.

Nicky yawned, God she was tired of course she knew she couldn't sleep where she was but maybe she could rest for a minute or so before she forced herself to go home, she closed her and let out a contented sigh, a minute or two won't matter overly much.

 

Chris stared at the empty space in front of him, he'd been so close and then she had ran of the room and he knew that that was it for them. He knew that she would never let her guard down again and he'd be forced to spend the rest of his life dreaming of what could have been between them.

Sighing he started making his way to the door; it was while he was putting the chairs back that he saw her bag. Chris picked it up, perhaps he could catch up with her, she'd only been gone a minute or so. Quickly coming out of the building he walked towards the alley way with the alcove but it was as he turned to check the door had closed behind him that he saw her sat on a bench with her eyes closed, damn. Chris walked over “This is why I wanted to take you home”

“So you could see me sat on a bench?” She asked dryly not even opening her eyes.

“So I could make sure you actually got home” he returned allowing himself a small smile, he really did love her sharp tongue.

She looked up at him obviously debating whether or not to accept his offer of a lift, Chris had never in his life been so nervous about what someone might say or as relieved when she shrugged and said “Okay then, I really am tired and the thought of going home myself is making me feel even more exhausted”

Sighing with relief he helped lead her to his car. They walked in silence neither of them really knowing what to say to each other, the moment wasn't quite awkward but it also wasn't very comfortable. Somewhere in between really; both of them were scared that if the silence was broken it might not help the situation however as he opened the car door for her he bent down and said quietly “I'm sorry”

Nicky looked up in surprise, so shocked that she had to stop herself from whacking her head on the top of the car door. “Why are you sorry?” she asked as she climbed into the car. He hadn't done anything to be sorry about at all, she was the one leaning on him and getting a lift home when all he was doing was being nice.

Chris entered the driver’s side of the car and turned so he could see her “For the kiss I hate that we have to avoid each other now because of a bad mistake”

Something lodged in her chest, something that felt like almost like a large lump and it hurt so much “Bad mistake?” she echoed hating the slight sadness to her voice.

“What do you want me to say?” he asked starting up the car because he couldn't stand to look at her stricken expression for another moment “Of course the kiss was a mistake but you must realise how much I care for you”

“Actually sir I didn't” Nicky looked down “I suppose that is my fault though, avoiding you and all”

There was silence for a few moments before he said softly “Believe me Nicky I do care, perhaps a bit too much”. Before she had time to properly ponder that statement they pulled up at the top of her road “Well perhaps now we can form a better teacher, student relationship.”

“I think I care too much too” Nicky said patting him on the arm “but I think I can manage getting to know you better as a teacher”

Chris wasn't sure why he wasn't surprised by the rush of desire he felt as Nicky touched his arm but he swallowed and placed his hand over hers “I'm glad. It would be nice to communicate with a decent student for once”

At last a smile broke through “I'm glad I am able to help with your sanity Mr Williams”

He couldn't help himself; Chris leaned forward and gave her a soft kiss and while it wasn't as passionate as their first it also couldn't be called chaste.

Nicky drew her head back and whispered “Two mistakes isn't so bad is it?”

He shook his head unable to find any words, Good God it was just a kiss, it shouldn't be playing this havoc with his mind.

“Well thank you sir” she smiled.

“You're welcome” he replied.

Nicky opened the door and went to leave but he couldn't let her without one more chance. Surely three mistakes wasn't so bad, he called after her and she turned around her expression filled with question and confusion.

“What are you doing tomorrow?”

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter Two

To say that her sanity was a bit impaired was a very large understatement. In fact Nicky was absolutely certain the sane part of her brain had well and truly gone out the window and was not likely to be coming back any time soon. That was surely the only reason to explain why she was currently waiting in a field on the outside of town for someone who could ruin his career if they were even seen together in this kind of capacity. So much for waiting until the time was right.

“Nicky!”

She turned around and saw him smiling at her “Hey Mr Williams, did you manage to get here ok?”

“The directions you gave me were a bit confusing”

“Oh sorry” she looked sheepish “It’s hard to give direction for where you’re born. I always just assume people know what I mean”

He started laughing “What am I going to do with you Miss Bennett?”

She gave him a small smile, the anxiousness of the situation gone from her mind “Well that certainly is the question”

Chris took a step forward “Indeed it is and one with many multiple answers”

She raised her brows “Is that so?”

He nodded “Yes many different answers and no real rule about just choosing one but I believe I will start with a kiss”

Oh thank God, Nicky had spent the last minute trying not to stare at his lips and hoping he would kiss her.

Stepping forward she put her arms around his neck, letting him lean in and give her an affectionate kiss which made all her nerves stand on end. God how she wished they were inside somewhere so she could let him strip off her clothes and take her right there.

Chris moved his hand back and chuckled “You looked flushed.”

Nicky's hand reached up to her face “Oh God, do I?”

He pulled her hands down and lightly kissed each of her cheeks “You look beautiful”. Her cheeks burned even redder making him chuckle again. She really was beautiful especially with her eyes twinkling like they were now. Shining with- he frowned they were shining with barely contained tears “Hey, what's wrong?”

She stepped away “I'm not beautiful”

“Of course you are”

Nicky shook her head “I'm not; I mean I'm cute and I do have some sexy qualities but I am not beautiful”

Chris walked up and spun her around “Listen to me carefully. You, Nicola Bennett are quite possibly the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. You have a cute nose and eyes that shine like emeralds, nothing at all could ever compare to your beauty both in your appearance and in your soul”

She blinked “Wow”

Wow indeed what had possessed him to do that? He had meant every word but surely there had been a better way to say it than the way he had chosen. Good Lord he really must be falling for her.

“No one has ever called me beautiful before”

Chris ran a finger along her cheek “Well, I am very glad to be your first”

Nicky knew he was talking about calling her beautiful but she couldn't stop herself from blushing. She wished he really could be her 'first' but that bridge was crossed long ago.

“You have colour on your cheeks” he smiled “what are you thinking?”

Nicky looked down “Nothing just thinking about normal things”

He laughed “Normal things don't normally make people blush”

“Maybe not normal people”

“Good point”

“Thank you”

Then there was a comfortable silence both looking at each other wondering what they should do now. Nicky was more than aware that they couldn't stay in the field all day but worried that if she mentioned it they would have to part soon and she certainly didn't want that to happen.
