The Educator novel Chapter 41

The next morning, I wake up earlier than usual. Elliot is still sleeping next to me. My eyes squint a little and it takes me a few moments before I am able to recognize where I was. I am no longer in paradise but I am home. I Look over to the side table, no phone. I look to the end of the bed, straight to the table underneath the flatscreen. I slowly stand up and carefully walk up to the table. I was careful not to make too much sound. I look for my phone and pick it up. There are several messages. My parents still don’t know that I flew it last night. I take my phone with me and settle back next to Elliot. Elliot then moves and grunts a little as he stretches. I rest my back on the headboard of the bed and subtly watch Elliot toss and turn as he stretches.

“Hey” Elliot says in sleepy voice

I smile down at him “Hi” I greet him back. Elliot slowly sits up, stretches his arms out and yawns.

“So” he starts to say, “what time should we get our puppy?” he asks

I smile, “You’re really serious, aren’t you?”

He yaws as he nods, “Yeah. Someone who could take care you even if I’m not here” he says. I sigh a happy sigh. I move closer to him and straddle him. I place my long hair on my right shoulder. “

“You better stop spoiling me” I whisper in his ear. I place soft kisses on his neck to the back of his ear. I hear him grunt and sigh as I do this. His hands meet my hips and he motions it front and back. I knew he was insinuating something but I didn’t budge. I continue to kiss him and when I felt something harden underneath me, I stopped and reclaimed my place on the bad next to him.

“Why’d you stop?” he asks

“Because something was starting to harden there” I look down on the sheets that were draped over his lower half. He rests his head against the wall where the headboard could no longer reach and he sighs. I place a soft kiss on his cheek and decide to take his shirt that was on the floor. I wear it and step out of the bedroom for a moment. I walk over to the bedroom next to ours and get the luggage where our fresh clothes and bath kits are. I walk back in and Elliot I see Elliot standing in front of the flatscreen, naked. I pull our luggage in and rets them on the floor. I open them one by one and pull out our things.

“What do you want for breakfast?” he asks

I look up at him whilst pilling up the clothes on the side, “Uhmmm maybe just a cup of hot chocolate would be fine” I tell him. I continue pilling up the clothes, separating his from mine.

“We need to drop by the Mac store later, I need to buy a new laptop. Do want to get a new one too?” he asks.

I sigh and nod, “Yeah, I think that would be good”. I start walking into the close area more and I see a big make up vanity, complete with lights and various drawers. I look back at Elliot and he just smiles at me.

“Elliot” I call out his name, “this is … I mean … Elliot---” I wasn’t able to find the right words to say.

“Eli, I didn’t know how to stock up your things. I don’t know about these things worked so I just had to wait for you to uhhhh … you know” he tells me. I smile at him and run towards him. I wrap my arms around his neck and hug him so tight. Elliot’s arms are around my waist, his face buried in my neck.

“Thank you” I whisper in his ear. I pull away and our foreheads meet. Elliot pulls may face and kisses me lightly.

“Anything for you” he whispers.
