Boundaries (girlxgirl)

Unknown Number

It was November 23rd the day before Haley went to visit her family for the Thanksgiving holiday when an unknown number called Haley's phone. She ignored it like she would any number that she didn't recognize. A few moments later there was a voicemail and a text from the same phone number. "Haley, I need you please call me." How her mind could interpret that in so many ways Haley didn't know.

Tess's POV--

I was supposed to be going out with my brother and sisters for my birthday, but it looks like that isn't going to happen with this piece of shit car not starting. I hope Haley calls me back and can come figure out what's wrong with it.

"Haley! Thank you for calling back. My car won't start and I'm supposed to be going out with my family to celebrate my birthday today. Could you come take a look at it?" I knew it wasn't right to have my student coming over to my house to fix my car, but none of the car shops could get me in today and I was desperate. 

She got out of the car with a white v-neck shirt and a pair of sweatpants on and didn't hesitate getting right to work. I shut the garage so it would stay warm and turned on the lights so she could see. I waited impatiently in the house listening for her to call me name. An hour went by and nothing. I walked out to check on the progress and see if there was anything she needed. She was on her back under my car to which I noticed she had gone from her sweats down to a pair of short black shorts. She had obviously been using the bottom of her shirt to wipe the dirt away from her face as it was black and pulled up to her belly button leaving her stomach exposed. Her skin was fair and her red belly ring caught my eye against her skin. I admired her body and listened to her curse as she messed around with the underside of my car. I couldn't help but smile and was startled when she wheeled herself out from under the car and about took my legs out from under me, although I deserved it after what happened a few weeks ago. She had grease and oil stains on her chest and face that I could't stop staring at. She was bigger in the chest area and how she looked was making it that much more difficult to look away. I couldn't believe I was allowing myself to look at my student this way, but she looked so.. so.. sexy. When she realized I was staring at her she asked for a glass of water and some paper towels. Obeying everything she said, I quickly grabbed everything and ran it out to her. She was in my car when I returned and was leaning over the passenger seat. Unaware of what she was doing, I continued to let her work while I got dressed and then I heard my car jump to a start. 

"I owe you big time, Haley thank you!" She cleaned off and brushed my comment off like it was nothing. She turned to face me for the first time since cleaning off and almost seemed stumbled over a chair. She stood there for a moment just looking at me without saying a word before she broke the tension by saying, "I'll see you later, be safe tonight," and taking off in her car. I'll never forget the way she looked at me after she turned around. 

I was disappointed that she didn't say happy birthday, but I tried to push it from my mind so it wouldn't ruin my night. I got in my car and went to put my purse on the seat beside me and saw flowers with a note that said. "Happy birthday Tess. I hope these make your day better. PS. I gave you a free birthday oil change. -H" That's why she was leaning over the seat that little sneak. I felt knots it my stomach, good knots, but I also knew everything about today crossed the line.

Haley's POV--

I stopped by the store on my way to Tess's to pick up some flower. I'm sure she's feeling discouraged after all this happening on her birthday so hopefully this will make her smile. I know knew where Tess lived and sure enough it was around the area I had ran into her when I had the boys.

I got straight to work on her car, trying to fix the problem so she could be on time to meet up with her family. When I'm in the zone I don't think about anything else or at least I didn't until I heard her walk out of the house. She was silent but I knew she was there. I shifted my position to where I could see her face between the metal and wiring. She was staring at my body as I watched her eyes travel from my thighs to my stomach. She bit her lip slightly as she fixated on my stomach and folded her arms in a way that she was trying to restrain herself. I fixed up the loose wires and replaced the old oil with new before asking for some water and a towel. I used the opportunity to grab the flowers from my car and place them on her seat. She went back inside to change her clothes while I cleaned up and inhaled a bottle of water. I couldn't help but think that just a couple feet away from me she was taking her clothes off. My heart started pounding at the thought before i had to compose myself hearing her footsteps coming towards me in the distance.

I turned around after at least getting the oil off my face and hands to see her standing there in a tight little black dress with heels and her hair curled a little more than usual. My breath caught in my throat and I was at a loss of words. I was closer to her now and noticed her tattoo was a ribbon for some type of cancer. My eyes worked their way up her body quickly before it was too obvious that I was checking her out. I wanted to take a snap shot of this image and remember it forever. I didn't say what I wanted to say, but I knew if I didn't get out of there I would have made a fool of myself and went places I knew I shouldn't have gone.

THIS IS MY FIRST STORY GUYS, BE PATIENT WITH ME. I'M FINISHING UP MY LAST SEMESTER OF GRAD SCHOOL AND I'M WRITING IN MY FREE TIME. THE NEXT COUPLE OF CHAPTERS SHOULD BE PUBLISHED IN THE NEXT WEEK OR 2. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.

Best,
