The Educator

Chapter 41: 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.

“Yeah, sure” I tell him, ”anyway, school starts next week and I’m close to my thesis term so I need all

the memory for my laptop” I tell him.

“Alright, you want to get a new phone too?” he asks waiving my iPhone 8. I roll my eyes and shake my

head.

“Hot chocolate, please?” I ask him. He chuckles and places the phone back on the deck. He leaves

and doesn’t even bother to cover up. He comes back a few minutes later with two giant mugs. He sits

on the floor and hands one to me whilst he drinks from the other. “You’re so comfortable in this house

you don’t mind walking around naked” I tell him.

“I don’t mind walking around naked in front of you” he says

I roll my eyes, “Okay, where do I place our clothes?” I ask him because from how I remember last night

I did not see any closet.

His eyes point to the hallway, “Before you reach the bathroom there’s a wooden sliding door, it’s going

to lead you to the his and hers closet” he tells me but immediately takes the plie of clothes from me and

brings it there himself. I walk up behind him and I could see a bigger side to the bathroom. Elliot was

right, there was a hidden gem to this house and it was the walk-in closet. There’s a his and hers side of

the closet and in the middle, there’s a long chair and its primary function was to hold everything that

you were too lazy to place back in the closet. Elliot’s closet was filled with his clothes whilst mine

needed work.

“We can go shop for clothes today” he tells me”

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.
