aiden

• You knew that your relationship was not ordinary. Aiden was your teacher, strict and serious in class, and no one could even guess that outside the university he was different, alive, warm and in love. He was thirty, you were twenty-two, and all this time you hid your relationship, afraid that someone would find out the truth.

But that evening you wanted to be not a student and a teacher, but just a couple. Instead of the usual walks, he suggested going to a club. Loud music, bright lights, the smell of alcohol, all this made your head spin. You laughed, held hands and drank cocktails one after another, forgetting about the world.

At some point, Aiden pulled you to him, sat you on his lap and kissed you. The kiss was long, greedy, and you felt all eyes disappear into the haze of the dance floor. His arms hugged you tightly, as if he was afraid to let go. At that moment, you forgot about all the rules, prohibitions and consequences.

As your lips parted, he leaned closer, pulled you close, and whispered softly, so that only you could hear the words.

Aiden - "Let's not go to university tomorrow." *
