Talia's campus fun (closed)

[Asa]

It's also not right they way she tries to manipulate you?

She listened more. Are you wanting to end this because of everything and her and this town? As for the future I... I guess I don't think too far in advance outside of what I want to do once I graduate. Archaology ancient studies dance. I... I always pondered going to live in Santorini or anywhere along the Mediterranean really. Maybe I always guessed it would be with you too.

 

[Homerun2611]

I don’t want to end thi, if you mean you and I

I want to end my engagement, she may try to manipulate, but I am using her, I have no intention of marrying HER

He looked at Talia, he did not say the rest of what he was thinking

 

[Asa]

You still want us after what happened to me?

She stared into his eyes searching for any answer that made sense and didn't scare her of being alone

 

[Homerun2611]

He looked directly into her eyes as he walked over towards her

Of course I want you, I never stopped, why would what happened to you affect that

I am the only man you have ever made love to, and I want to be the only man you ever want to

I love you, and I just want there to be us, no other...let your body eventually learn to trust and let go again to me

I love you, only you

Lip or no lip he gently took her into his arms and kissed her with the passion of a man in love, but caring for his lover

 

[Asa]

She whimpered but curled into his embrace hugging him close.

I love you too

 

[Homerun2611]

He hugged her, and kissed her again

I'm glad...I'm not sure what I would do if you didn't

I'm going to pick you up, it's okay

He carried her over the the couch and sat down with her on his lap cuddling...it felt a bit like before

He knew she loved him, but they could only stay like this, under the auspices of her recovery so long, was there any way, they could stay together?

And what should he tell Megan, didn't she deserve to know he didn't love her?

 

[Asa]

I don't want you to do anything to risk your career.

She curled up there in his arms as she traced fingers up and down his arm.

 

[Homerun2611]

Help me think this through, I want to be able to be together somehow

I don't want to lead this girl on forever

And I would like to keep my career as a professor

I am just not sure all of those things are possible

Her fingers felt good up and down his arm, sending tingles and sparks he hadn't felt it quite a while

 

[Asa]

I don't know... apply to other universities but you need to be more established to do that. I... I don't know.

She curled up wondering if coming to this school had been the right idea at all

 

[Homerun2611]

I have even wondered if I want to stay in teaching at all

I enjoy teaching, but all the research and need to publish, publish, publish is not what I enjoy

I could easily go do consulting or move into private industry

He sensed her withdrawl

What's wrong Talia, talk to me, is it us or something else?

 

[Asa]

Had I not come here to this campus... You wouldn't be so divided right now. If you leave her and teaching for me I have to leave school too

 

[Homerun2611]

He shook his head

That would be the worst answer

Talia, I would not have married Megan whether I met you or not

Now whether or not I end it now or we see each other on the sly until I have tenure secured is a different question

But if you leave I will take it that you don’t want me for whatever reason and then I am gone, no matter what. You are what keeps me here

Is that what you are trying to tell me, that you don’t want and need me like I do you?

 

[Asa]

If you dump her for me and quit teaching here how will I be able to stay. They would come after me too.

She sighed

That is what I was trying to say

 

[Homerun2611]

I see what you mean

So we enjoy this while we have cover, and then go back to sneaking around until you are through with college?

Or something different?

 

[Asa]

Let's just play it by ear and see what happens. But let's enjoy this for as long as we can.

She smiled to him

 

[Homerun2611]

He cocked his brow

Play it by ear?

He decided to go take a shower before dinner, her statement hadn't exactly inspired confidence in the future of their relationship

 

[Asa]

She didn't know what to do. They had this time and couldn't even enjoy it because of her so he was over thinking everything and she didn't know what to say or do

 

[Homerun2611]

He took a hot shower and came out in a towel

Listen Talia, let's enjoy each other...I want to forget about Megan, I have wanted us to have nights together and just be a couple

For at least a couple of weeks we have that, and then your right, we will see...what do you want to do for dinner? Go out or should we whip something up here?

 

[Asa]

Something here

The idea of going out to eat at night spooked her still a little

 

[Homerun2611]

I’m sorry, I thought you might enjoy it

I’ll go to the market, what are you up for?

He owed the dean a call, and would make it on the way

 

[Asa]

Surprise me but definitely something with strawberries

She smiled softly to him.

 

[Homerun2611]

He hopped into the car and called the Dean

We did get her out today and met with Megan for ice cream and to get her phone

She is incredibly skiddish though sir, and I don't think that is going to change anytime soon

I agree, I think my being here does help her feel safe, she seems very frightened if I am out of her sight and I hear her wake up all through the night with nightmares

They hung up and he went to the store...chicken breasts, linguini, and a spinach salad with strawberries and a sweet dressing, he smiled at the items as he checked out

He wanted to please her, even if it was just the little things, he just wanted to try to make her happy again

 

[Asa]

She waited opting for a nice hot bath.

 

[Homerun2611]

He walked in happy with his purchases and looking forward to a nice evening

He heard her in bathroom and peeked his head around the corner to let her know he was home

But she looked amazing

He smiled, "do you need help with your back or anything else?"

My God, in all the pain of the last few weeks it was easy to forget how absolutely stunning she was

[Asa]

She bit her lip but nodded. She wanted them to be close but wasn't sure.

Yeah
