Jennifer's POV:

I was in my house grading some test papers when I heard a knock on my door.
I glanced at my clock and saw that it was 7. I wonder who that could be. I thought to myself.

I got up and opened the door revealing a soaked Arielle.
"Arielle why are you here? Why are you soaking wet?" I asked.
She opened her mouth to answer but I cut her off saying "Forget it. Just come inside before you get a cold." And dragged her into my apartment.

I led her to the living room and had her sit on the couch while I got a towel for her. When I entered back into the living room she was pacing back and forth.
"Arielle stop pacing and sit down." I said handing her a towel.
She just nodded and sat down on the couch, taking the towel from me and wrapped it around her shoulders.

"Why are you soaking wet?" I asked her.
"Because it was raining." She answered.
"But it's not raining that hard outside so the only way for you to get this soaked is because you were standing outside in the rain for hours." I said to her.
"I was standing out in the rain for hours."
"Why?" I asked confused.
"Deciding whether I should've knocked on your door or not." She said.

What? I thought to myself.

"Hold on Arielle let me get you a change of clothes." I said to her and headed to my room.

While I was looking through my closet to where I couldn't stop the questions that were swirling through my head.

Why was she standing outside my door for hours? What does she have to tell me? Is it really that important that she had to contemplate even knocking on my door?

I finally found a top and some shorts for her to wear and I headed back into the living room.
"Here you go." I said handing her the clothes.
"Thanks." She said and stood up and started to unbutton her uniform shirt.
"Uh Arielle what are you doing?" I asked.
"Changing." She said bluntly.
"In front of me?"
She just stared at me for a few seconds until her cheeks turned a tint of red.
"Sorry, where's the bathroom?" She asked embarrassed.

She looks so cute.

"Uh right there." I said pointing to the door in the corner.
"Can I take a shower too if you don't mind?"
"Sure." I said and she thanked me and headed inside.

About 30 minutes later she stepped out of the bathroom. I had given her one of my baseball tank tops and some basketball shorts.

To say she looked stunning was an understatement.

The tank top didn't fit her so well around the chest area so it showed off an awful lot of cleavage. The basketball shorts showed off her slender legs and I couldn't help but let my eyes linger on them for a while. Her hair was now in curls and was a little messy which just made her look sexy.

"Thanks again." She said taking me out of my thoughts.
"No problem." I said to her and patted the seat next to me.
Instead of sitting next to me on the couch she sat at the end of the couch.
"So why were you contemplating for hours outside of my apartment, in the rain, whether you should knock on my door or not."
"Because I didn't know if this was a good idea or a bad idea."
"If coming to my house was a bad idea?" I asked confused.
"No if..." she trailed off. "Look Jennifer before I came here, I went to Jaylin's house and we had talk."

Oh god.

"About what?" I asked.
"About...us." She said moving her hands between the 2 of us.
"What about us?" I asked nervous about what she was going to say.
"She basically slapped some sense into me. Without actually slapping me of course." She said and moved closer to me on the couch.

"She helped me realize that I do like you, a lot. And me ignoring you and acting like I don't like you isn't helping anything." She said and took a deep breath and continued.
"So Jennifer if you're willing would you like to maybe start over again?" She asked.

I just looking at her silently, wondering if I was dreaming or not.

I guess she took my silence as a bad sign because then she started to speak again. "But I mean that's only if you want to, if you don't want to then I totally get it it's no bi-"

"Arielle." I said cutting off her rambling. She stopped talking and looked me in my eyes.

I raised one of my hands to cheek, cupping it.
"Of course I want to start over Arielle." I said.
This caused her to smile brightly and it made my heart flutter.

"Thank you for giving me a second chance." She whispered.
"How could I have possibly have said no." I said giving her a small smile.

Soon our lips were connected, moving in sync. I moved my other hand and cupped her other check. Arielle wrapped her arms around my neck. I licked her upper lip, asking for permission, which she soon granted. Our tongues danced together and it was amazing.

We parted and then rested our foreheads together.

"Thank you." Arielle whispered again and a tear fell down one of her eyes.
