Mary My Student

Episode 31

As I arrived at where my car was Nancy was all over me.

She hugged and smooched me.
” Oh Callum, I was so afraid, how did it go? Are they letting you out on bail or did they let you go free?” She asked her questions without giving me a chance to reply meanwhile holding me tight to her body.
” It’s okay Nancy” I replied.” Everything is okay, they didn’t let me go on bail, I wasn’t just guilty.”

I was holding on my laptop tightly so I won’t drop it.

I noticed Rita emerge from the classroom and started trotting towards where we were standing with a smile, Nancy chosed this moment to plant her lips on mine and engage me in a very passionate kiss. There was many things in the kiss, it was a kiss of hunger, a kiss of want, a kiss that had waited years, she took to the kiss like a starving dog to a platter of raw meat. She kissed me like she had been thirsty for days and had just stumbled upon a cool spring.

I saw Rita stop in her tracks and a frown enveloped her smile, I tried to stop the kiss but Nancy wasn’t having any of it. Rita’s frown deepened before Nancy stopped so we can catch our breath.

I know Nancy never noticed Rita as she had her back on her and wouldn’t have cared if she has.

I tried to extricate myself from her but she held on. ” Callum, I’m so glad you are safe and sound, I have been so worried, can I come to your apartment and spent the night? I won’t be able to stay all by myself after witnessing you being arrested.”
Rita stormed off towards her classroom at this, my laptop fell out of my arm but I caught it before it hits the ground.
” Careful.” Nancy warned ” so what do you say?”

” Eh yes, I mean No, you can’t come.” I stammered.
” Why? Why can’t I come?” She asked in a small voice as if she was about to cry.
I didn’t fell for it but I was short of explanation.

” Eh I I eh, I have a meeting with a friend who wanted to buy my cousin’s land, so it’s going to take me till midnight, so if you were coming to spend time with me, I might be gone all night.”

” Does it really have to be today alone? Can’t you do that some other time? What if you were still in the cell?”
” If I were, I would have let today slide, but I’m not, and I am here in good time so I have to. Sorry about that.”

My heart was now at my throat, I stared towards the classroom and could see Rita watching us through the window.
” It’s okay I thought you would have a chance, so you could tell me everything that happened at your apartment, but no worries, there’s still another time.”
She then started to walk away and then paused as if an afterthought, came back and pulled me in for a kiss, I turned my head to avoid her lips, but she held my head and turned it back, planted a soft kiss, whispered” I LOVE YOU”, before walking off to her car. She started her car and was out of sight in minutes. I dumped my laptop at the back seat of my car and waited for Rita with bated breath.

” I hope Nancy hadn’t ruined things for me.” I thought. I was about to call out when Rita walked out of the classroom with her backpack on her back.
