Ms. White

leslie pov

night time came around pretty quickly and i was slightly surprised to find that the sky was already littered with stars by the time 8pm hit but then again the days did seem like they were growing shorter all of a sudden

kelly came from the bathroom dressed in black shorts and a white tank top with her braids in a low ponytail 

i gulped at how good her shaven legs look, especially with that golden anklet wrapped just above her foot

"where am i sleeping?" i asked. "i noticed you didnt have a spare bedroom"

i thought she did with how big her home was but i quickly learned that her garage took up most of the space and the only other room she had was changed into the laundry room 

"with me. we are two adults. we can share a bed" she laughed a little. "i hope you didnt think i was going to put you on the couch"

i swallowed hard 

"with you?"

"mhm"

"whats wrong with me sleeping on the couch? i dont wanna make you uncomfortable"

"les, sleeping on a couch is disgusting. do you know how many asses touched that? i clean my couch but not as much as i should"

"ive slept on the ground where people walk and spit, i can handle a couch" i said, still trying to convince my former teacher she didnt have to share a bed with me

"leslie i said no and thats final" she hissed as she glared at me

once she said my full name, i knew to leave it at that

saying anything more would- i dont even want to think of the consequences of daring to argue with her

"okay im sorry"

"its fine. come on lets get you into something more comfortable. i made some space in my closet and already hung up your new clothes"

never in my life would i have ever thought i'd be here, in this position, laying next to the teacher i had a crush on since i was a junior and still a have a crush on now 

my stomach wouldnt stop twisting and turning no matter how many times i tried to make it stop by pushing my hand down on it 

kelly was turned on her side, facing a way from me while strolling on her phone. i was just looking at the ceiling. i dont have a phone, it got a stolen a year or two back when i started sleeping on the streets

i just woke one day to it being gone and not tucked beneath my head like it was once i went to sleep

i dont even know how i didnt feel it being taken

it was cut off and useless anyway. i had no way of charging it so it stayed dead majority of the time 

then after that a lot of my other things kept getting taken no matter how many times i tried to hold them tightly in my grip, i never felt when it was being stolen through out the night 

even though i had no phone with me right now it still felt nice to be on a bed. i havent felt one in a while

i felt like i was sinking but not in a bad way. in a way that was telling me to not go pee even though i had to so badly

eventually i sighed and decided to go pee before i wet the bed 

i would die if i did 

"where are you going?" kelly asked as soon as i sat up

i turned around to look at her and saw she was already staring at me 

"um.."

"im sorry if that sounded weird. your just warm and i suddenly got cold when you sat up" kelly said sheepishly

i chuckled a little, "i have to use the bathroom. ill be back quickly for you"

"okay" 

i walked to the bathroom feeling myself blush at the thought that she was actually waiting for me to come back 

i quickly used the bathroom, washed my hands then made my way back to her bedroom

i tied my hair in a knot so it wouldnt be in the way. i had no hair tie so doing a knot was the best thing i could do especially because i had semi long hair 

i slipped back in bed and scooted a little closer then i was before so she could feel more of my "warmth"

when i heard kelly let out a content sigh and i tried to fight off a smile but ultimately lost that fight
