One-shots (^-^) [Open orders]

🤎💉I like the rain

—

On the way out it was the same, the rain was pounding against the windows of the hall, the redhead grabbed her umbrella getting ready to leave, in the distance a person looked familiar, she wasn't quite sure but she could have sworn it was you.

-I thought you said you liked the rain- said the redhead coming to your side.

-Yeah, I like it- seeing her gesture towards your black umbrella, -I can't get wet today, I have an appointment and I don't want to have to change my clothes.

-Oh...that explains it...what subject do you teach?- she asks looking for a topic of conversation as they walk to the car park.

-I teach Spanish class

-I studied some Spanish during school.

-Entonces eres maestra, inteligente, pelirroja, alta, hermosa, sabes Español, ¿hay algo que no hagas?- you say with natural fluency looking at the woman beside you.

(So you're a teacher, you're smart, you have red hair, you're tall, you're beautiful, you know English, is there anything you don't do?)

-Maybe my Spanish is a bit rusty- she says a bit embarrassed.

-Okay, I said that you are a very interesting woman and that I would like to get to know you better- changing what you said.

-Oh- seeing a blush tinge her cheeks, -I almost forgot,- digging through her bag to hand you your umbrella, -thank you for lending it to me- she says.

-No problem- closing your umbrella as you pulled into the car park.

-Y/n! Hurry up, we're going to be late- says a female voice catching Diane's attention.

A girl in her early 20's, with wet hair leaning against your car.

-See you later- you say before getting into your car with the girl in the passenger seat.

Diane stands there watching as she loses you when she had just met you.

—

You go to the classroom where Diane is teaching to talk to Rhea, while you wait for the door to be opened you arrange your hair trying to look presentable.

-Y/n..what do you need?- asks the redhead showing a wide smile.

-I need to talk to Rhea- you say giving the redhead a smile.

Diane's smile slowly fades when she hears your words, when she knew that she was part of her class she couldn't help but get angry.

-May I know what for?- with a tone that lacks her usual cheerfulness.

-It's personal- you say without trying to sound rude.

Before she can answer the door opens revealing a teary eyed girl, as soon as she notices your presence she throws herself into your arms bursting into tears, you wrap your arms around her body pulling her as close to you as possible. Seeing her in this state breaks your heart, you too are suffering but you have to be strong for Rhea.

Diane witnesses the scene in front of her without understanding what is happening, opting to go back to her class and give them some privacy.

—

You didn't want to go back to the university but you had only been allowed three days, so you take some liquid courage and get out of the car ready to face your reality. You walk down the corridors, but you didn't expect to meet a certain redhead, her presence is like a beacon of light in your vast sea of darkness.

-Y/n- she says cheerfully, pulling you into a hug.

You feel all your tensions disappear the instant Diane's scent fills your senses, it's a combination of coffee, wood, old book and home.

-I missed you too- you say, returning the gesture with the same intensity.

-What happened?- turning away to look directly at you.

-Rhea's mother died- seeing how she tenses when she hears the name.

-I'm so sorry.

-It's ok, at least one of us will be able to go and say goodbye- feeling your eyes fill with tears.

-You know, if you need to talk you can count on me any time.

-I appreciate that, but this is something I have to face alone- with a firm voice that leaves no room for argument, -If you'll excuse me, I have to teach my first class.

Diane had asked one of her colleagues if she knew why you were absent and what she found out stunned her, the redhead thought you were in a relationship with one of the students, but it turns out that you and Rhea were sisters, daughters of different fathers but family on your mother's side. She had felt bad about all the things she had thought and said in the safety of her house, about how jealous she was that Rhea had you and that she didn't deserve you.

The rest of the day you spent locked yourself in your office when you didn't have a class to teach and honestly Diane never thought I would be there, as you always preferred to be in one of the campus gardens in your free time. She wanted to talk to you about this being her last day, her time was up and the subject teacher would be back.

You leave your office to go to your next class but the conversation of one of your colleagues caught your attention.

-So Tredson will be back on Monday, right?

-Yes, today was Sherman's last day.

-Tredson will be back?- you ask in surprise.

-Yes, Sherman was looking for you all day to say goodbye.

As soon as you hear those words you run off to look for the redhead, but then you realise that you don't know where she is.

-Where is Diane?- you ask, catching your breath from running back.

-She just left- she says not understanding your outburst.

As soon as you get out of the building you feel the rain against your skin, you run as fast as you can to catch up with the redhead, you have so many things to tell her, you can't lose her, not her. Tears stream down your face and you don't even know why, but it feels so liberating; you find no trace of her on your way to the car park.

You run faster as you recognise Diane's car pulling out of the car park and no matter how much you yell at her, the sound of the rain deafens your calls.

Diane slams on the brakes as she sees someone pull out in front of her car, and as the redhead tries to recover from what just happened you tell her that you need to talk to her.

-T/n What are you do..." she is interrupted and cut off by your lips.

She takes a second before reciprocating, this seems so unreal and Diane fears that at any moment she will wake up in her bed, alone. As you pull apart a smile breaks out on both of your faces.

-I couldn't let you leave without you knowing how I feel about you," brushing a wet lock of hair away from her face.

The raindrops fall on you, but at that moment there is nothing more than lovers making a silent promise just by looking into each other's eyes.
