I couldn't believe that little tease! I wanted her so badly it wasn't funny. I heard the door open and hurried for my discarded panties. I shoved them into my coat as the principal opened the door. He looked uncomfortable. "Maria," he said firmly. "I need you." I had heard rumors about him. How he used women for sex and at times he'd take them by force.
I tensed up and grabbed my stuff. I jumped up, feigning innocence as I hurried for the door. "Sorry, Mike, but I have to get home to my husband." He nodded his head sadly.
"I'll be in here during lunch on Friday." I nodded my head and locked the door behind him. I hurried to my car and drove home. I saw a hooded figure sitting on my porch. I parked the car and they turned their head to face me. They got up and stood by the door. It looked like they had a gun in their pocket.
They motioned for the door and I unlocked it. The person shoved me through the door and I tumbled to the floor. My hand stung as it smacked the hard wood floor. The person now stood over me, and I froze as they slowly reached up to remove their hood. I kicked them in the knee and bolted up the stairs, locking myself in my bedroom. The door rattled as the person banged on it forcefully. I tried to shimmy the window open, but it wouldn't budge.
"Maria, it's me. Open up," the voice said from the other side of the door. I froze. It was Page. I hurried to unlock the door and she stood before me, the hood down. I was livid with rage.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?! You scared me to death!" I smacked her arm repeatedly. She looked indifferent as I did so. I tapped my foot impatiently. "Do you have anything to say for yourself?" She reached into her pocket and pulled out a long box. She handed it to me and walked away. She was gone and out the door, before I could even open it.
I flipped the lid and gasped at the gorgeous bracelet that laid against the velvety inside. I closed it quickly and ran after her. She was already gone before I could find her, but I saw her truck driving away from my house. I climbed into my car and tailed her. She was leading me outside of town to the grounds of the old haunted castle. The sun had already begun to go down.
I parked my car on the other side of the trail and continued to follow her on foot. She had parked her car and just sat there, the car still running. I hurried to her but was stopped by a man with a shotgun. "Hello there, pretty lady," he said as he took my arm in his hard grasp. I yelped in pain and the gun came into view. "Make one small noise and I'll shoot you."
I nodded my head and he led me towards the castle, taking me pass Page's van. I heard the door open. "Hey!" she shouted. We spun around.
"Oh, hi, Page," he said kindly. I was shaking with fear.
"What are you doing with my teacher, Ronald?" she asked forcefully. I heard him gulp in fear.
"This is your teacher?" he asked, his voice shaky.
"Yeah. Now let her go." His grip on my arm loosened and I hurried over to Page's side. "Go home, Ronald." She turned and shoved me to the other side of the truck. "Get in." I did as she said and she got in on the driver's side. She was silent for a few moments and then she bashed her fist against the steering wheel.
"Are you okay?" I asked quietly. She turned her gaze to me, her eyes hard and scary.
"No, I'm not fucking okay! You almost got yourself raped! Do you know that?! Why the hell did you follow me?!" she screamed. I gulped.
"I wanted to apologize for attacking you earlier...I shouldn't have done it and I'm really sorry." I started to cry. Page sighed.
"Come here." She opened her arms to me. I shook my head. "Maria, it's okay." She leaned forward and took me into her arms, wrapped me in her warmth. I cried into her shoulder.
"I'm so sorry! Lo siento mucho!" (I'm very sorry.) She cooed into my ear.
"It's okay. Stop apologizing." Her voice was beginning to crack. "I almost lost you from my stupidity. Don't you dare apologize for something that's not your fault." She began to shake as she sobbed. I moved my head to look at her.
"Why are you crying?" She wiped away the tears.
"Te amo. Te amo." (I love you. I love you.) I smiled at her as she hid her face. I took her hand in mine.
"Te amo, Bonita." (I love you, beautiful.) I turned her head to look at me and moved the hair from in front of her face. Her eyes were puffy and red, and her cheeks were flushed. She was still shaking. I pulled her closer to me and brushed my lips over hers. She was surprised at first, but then she responded.
Her fingers found their way into my hair. We pulled away and I tucked the hair behind her ear. "It'll be okay from now on. Okay?" She nodded her head. I kissed the top of her head. "I have to get home now, Page. You're more than welcomed to stay with me. Todd won't mind." She smiled and started her truck. She drove me back to my car and she followed me back to the house.
*Page's Pov*
I was wrapped in a soft warm blanket, in a seperate room from Maria. She didn't want her husband to come home and find us like that. I was almost sound asleep, when I began to hear moaning coming from the other room. Of course, it was Maria and Todd. Their screaming was annoying, and I covered my ears with the pillow.
The next morning, I didn't get out of bed until noon. I padded down the stairs to find Maria sitting on the couch, sipping her coffee. "Shouldn't we be at school?" I asked. She jumped slightly, turned, and smiled at me.
"I called us both in. I didn't want to wake you," she said as she got up. She appeared to be having issues walking about. I approached her and held her hands in mine.
"Is there a reason why you are walking funny?" Her face turned bright red. I laughed. "It doesn't help when I was laying in the next room." Her eyes widened and I laughed again. I kissed her cheek and picked her up.
She squealed in surprise and I plopped her on the couch. I sat down next to her and she threw her legs over me. She crawled into my lap and straddled me. I giggled. "Maria, what are you doing?" She smiled.
"Trying to thank you for being so kind to me. I didn't get a chance to thank you for saving me last night either." She had a mischievous gleam in her eyes as she started to unbutton her shirt.
We heard the door open and she jumped off my lap, re buttoning her shirt. A tall man with a full head of black hair walked into the room, swooped down, and kissed Maria's cheek. She smiled. "Hi, honey," he said.
"Hi, baby." She turned and they kissed. Todd turned his head and held out his hand to me.
"You must be Violet. Hello, I'm Todd." I smiled and shook his hand. "Maria has told me a lot about you." I forced a smile.
"I've heard a lot about you too." He turned back to Maria and picked her up.
"I'm going to borrow my wife for awhile if you don't mind." Her face was in pure shock as I nodded my head and they headed for the stairs. Nearly an hour later, Todd came back downstairs. "I'm going back to work. Maria is in the shower." I nodded my head and he left without another word.
After I heard his car back out of the driveway, I went up stairs. I snuck into their room and heard the shower running. I quietly peeled off my clothes. I walked into her bathroom and pulled the curtain aside. Maria screamed in surprise, but her eyes widened at the sight of my naked body.
"Mind if I join you?" I asked. She moved aside and I climbed in beside her, closing the curtain behind me. The warm water hit my back and soaked my hair. She covered herself up and back up against the wall. "Are you okay?" She nodded her head and I came closer to her.
I went to wrap my arms around her, but she threw the curtain aside, and got out. She wrapped a towel around herself and hurried to her bedroom. I sighed and followed her out, grabbing a towel on the way. I watched as she got dressed and climbed into her bed.
"Everything okay?" I asked as I wrapped the towel around me.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just go away please."
"But I-"
"Go away, Violet!" I ran out of the room and got dressed. I grabbed my phone and went for a walk, dialing Eden's number.
"What's up, baby girl?" she asked. I broke down.
"Eden, I don't think I can do this anymore."
"Trouble in paradise?"
"Sort of." I started to explain everything to her.
"I'm coming to get you. I'll be there in another week." With that she hung up.
