Teacher's Girl 138. Hailey’s Story
“I just want, like, one good fúck. I mean, is that too much to ask?” Hailey groaned into her half empty glass of cocktail.It was her third glass of the night. She and her best friend, Cassidy, were hanging out at a bar in downtown New Jersey, as they were home from college for the summer. The reason why Hailey didn’t want to spend the summer in college was because she wanted to get away from a certain someone named Greg. Hailey had just gotten out of a six-month relationship with this Greg guy. They met in an intro to psychology class and things were great in the beginning.

Hailey was a firm believer that sex isn’t the most important thing in a relationship, but after dating two-minute-and-finish Greg, she realized that she had been downplaying the effect sex has on a relationship.“That’s the thing, though.

After his breakup with Emma, Elliott moved back to Paris and got his old job back, teaching intro to jazz at the IMEP Paris College of Music.“Look man, maybe you’re not really in love with her. Maybe you’re just in love with the idea of her,” Colin, one of Elliott’s best friends and colleagues at the university, argued.“No, I really did love her. I really do,” Elliott insisted and shook his head. “I don’t just follow a girl to the other side of the world if I don’t love her,”“Then how come you don’t realize that she’s in love with someone else?”Ouch, that stings, Elliott thought to himself.Avoiding Colin’s eyes, Elliott turned his gaze to the window. They were seated in his office, and the door was wide open since it was his office hours. Elliott

EMMA’s POV :- - - - - Two Years Later - - - - -Home is where the heart is.It had been years since I first put up this framed quote on the wall of our first apartment.

We gotta go, there’s much to do before tonight,” Tiffany replied.She had a point. She was referring to the fact that we’d be driving down to Oxford to visit my boyfriend Zach at Emory
Teacher's Girl 2. Falling Apart
EMMA’s POV:“No!” I yelped and pulled away in an instant.That was so close!Suddenly it dawned on me that I was about to kiss a random stranger in a bar. What the hell was I thinking? I should not be doing this! I needed to be with Zach!I knew that second glass of beer was a bad idea.Meanwhile, the guy looked at me, bewildered and confused. He was also still breathless from all the dancing. That look in his eyes, I couldn’t tell if he was angry or disappointed. Or both.“I’m sorry. I have to go,” I said and turned to my heels as fast as I could.“Hey—“ I could hear him calling after me several times, but I didn’t want to turn back.I spotted Tiff making out with Steve and I wasn’t gonna cock-block her, so I left her alone.

I didn’t say anything, I couldn’t. I was still struggling to slow my breathing, catching my breath.He stalked closer to me and I was taking small steps back until I hit myself back against the wall. He took both my hands and placed them above my head, pinning me against the red brick. He looked down at me with those dark eyes and said, “I have to have you now,”I swallowed hard at his words.

All I knew was that my body was heating up and there was this clenching feeling in my lower stomach, aching to be released.“Okay,” I brea
