Teaching love

9: Does Tim have a big dark secret ?

*Tim*

Monday morning I swing by Amelie's house, as I don't have any lessons before 10 o'clock. She looks surprised when she opens the door wearing an oversized T-shirt and fluffy socks. "Oh Tim. I didn't expect you here".

"I just wanted to check if René is still sick". I tell her. She is pulling down on her T-shirt, like she is trying to make it longer. "If I could help with anything".

She smiles softly, a smile that makes my heart flutter slightly. "Yeah he is still sick. But you didn't need to come by Tim. It is so sweet of you to think of us. You want a cup of coffee ?"

"Sure. And really it's no problem, I have my first class at 10". I follow her into the kitchen, trying not to appreciate the sight of her to much, but damn it is hard not to.

In the kitchen she grabs en extra cup and pours me a cup of coffee. "I am sorry about the outfit, I didn't expect guests". She says shyly. Her hair is pulled up in a messy bun and she has no makeup on, she looks absolutely stunning.

"I think you look beautiful, you have nothing to apologise about". I say, hurriedly taking a sip of my coffee to hide that my cheeks are blushing. It just slipped out.

She bite her lip, smiling as she look down in her cup. "Honestly Tim, I think you might be the sweetest man I have ever known. How you ex could leave you is a mystery to me".

"I.. you..". I am lost for words, then I put down my cup and reach for her hand and she lets me take it. "Thank you. And to be honest I don't know how your husband could leave you either. Maybe we just picked the wrong people".

She nods. "I hope you are right. That the real ones are still waiting for us somewhere". She glaze up at me and I squeeze her hand, telling her. "I am sure they are".

I feel a sudden urge to change the subject. "You know what, write a note with everything you need. I'll get it for you and bring it over around lunch. I have 1,5 hour free there".

"Thank you, if it isn't to much trouble. Maybe René is awake there too, he would love to see you". She says and gently pulls her hand from mine to write a note.

After handing it to me she walks me to the door, she smiles softly at me. "Thank you again Tim. What would I do without you ?"

"I am only happy to help. And before I can stop myself I lean down, letting my lips just ghost over hers, hearing her gasp slightly. Then I smile at her and hurry to my car.

*Amelie*

I spend the next couple of hours floating around the house, feeling elated, butterflies flapping around in my stomach. Tim kissed me, very softly and sweetly, but definitely not at 'we are friends' kiss. I am a bit confused too. Am I ready for this ? To move on. But how often do you meet a man like Tim ? I can't let him slip away.

To be honest I might have been developing a crush on him from the first day, but I have been afraid to give in. And honestly I have been waiting to discover his big black secret. I mean who would let a man that perfect go. Maybe he is a freak in the bedroom ?

By lunchtime I have turned myself into a nervous wreck, wondering what to do and say when Tim gets back, an thinking about what his flaw can possibly be. I am just in the process of making some lunch for René who has woken up, when I hear the front door open and Tim's voice. "It's just me".

"Come on in". I call back, feeling my heart in my throat, my hands are getting sweaty, what will happen now ? Did he mean anything by that kiss ?

He walks into the kitchen a grocery bag in each hand, smiling softly. "Well hello again darling and good morning René".

"Tim !" René almost screams, jumping down from his chair.

Tim only just have time to put down the bags and catch my son as he comes flying into his arm. "Hi there little man".

They have a man to man talk, as I unpack the groceries and puts them away, and I can't help watching them. It warms my heart to see them together. René is usually a bit shy around new people, but he seems to have opened up to Tim instantly.

"Come here you little bandit". I walk over to take René from Tim's arms and give him his lunch. As he hands me my son he leans in kissing my lips softly, like it is the most natural thing in the world.

I take my son and puts him on his chair, placing his lunch in front of him. When I turn Tim is standing right behind me, a small smile spreading on his lips. "Well I think it is about time I do that for real". I don't have time to answer before he steps up to me and his lips lock with mine, kissing me slowly and sensually, making my world spin.

He don't break the kiss before he has to breathe and then he rest his forehead against mine. "I am sorry I have to get back to school, but.. maybe I could come by after school ?"

"I would like that very much". I say softly and he kisses me again before going to kiss the top of René's head. "See you later little man".

*Alex*

"Better get down to rehearsals now baby". I kiss Harmony one last time. She had come to see me in my small office after school ended and before rehearsals. And well it had gotten a bit heated. I mean I have always enjoyed s*x quite a lot, but it is like she has some power over me and I can't control myself at all.

She smiles at me. "Of course my conpar, can I see you tomorrow evening ?". Her hand running gently up and down my arm.

"That sounds like a really good idea". I say biting my lip, thinking about what that would bring of pleasure. "Actually that sounds like an exceptional good idea".

She giggles and gives me a swift kiss before slipping out, ten seconds later the door creaks open again and I chuckle. "Did you forget something baby ?"

"Eww never ever call me that again". Will grins as he comes inside. "I guess my plan worked as I saw your hot little MILF sneak out of here before, straightening her clothes".

"You can say that.. but please do not call her that". I say smiling happily. "Oh by the way, what does conpar mean ?"

He look at me a bit confused. "Well it has a couple of different meanings, but partner, mate, beloved, perfect match, so something like soulmate I would say".

Honestly I don't really know how to react to that, that is a big word throwing out there this fast, but maybe she just like it and don't mean it like directly.

We are trying out my idea with Alex at the piano playing and singing and I have to waltz around the piano with Adam, the guy who plays The beast, which is quite a funny coincidence.

Will has instructed us how to dance waltz. I am having a hard time, looking at Will, remembering the feeling of his lips on mine, not really knowing what to say or do.

"Auch". I can't help crying out in pain as Adam once again steps on my foot, he might be a quite good actor and singer, but apparently he can't dance.

Will is rubbing his face in frustration. "No, no, no Adam. A waltz should be floating, you need to lead and guide your partner. Not step on her".

We try again, but Adam keeps stepping on my feet. Not that I am perfect at this, but at least I don't step on him. I got a feeling this is never going to be good enough.

"For God's sake". Will walks over. "Flowing, graceful Adam, is that words you ever heard ? A good dancer can dance a waltz with a lit candle in his hand without the flame going out. Let me show you".

Will gracefully bows to me and I feel my heart hammering like crazy and my head going light, as he places a hand on my waist, taking my hand in his. Alex starts playing and Will twirls me out into a perfect waltz.

With him as a partner I suddenly feel much more light and graceful. He is truly leading me here. It feels like floating on air and when he looks into my eye it is like everything else cease to exist. There are only Will, me and the music.

I think I could do this forever, let Will twirl me through a world of beautiful music. But the music stops, and we stop, still looking into each others eyes. And suddenly I realise that he is going to kiss me, right here, right now. And I can't even fight it.

Suddenly there is a big bang as Alex slams the lid to the piano. We both jolt back to reality, staring at Alex who smiles. "Sorry it slipped". But his eyes boring into Will. "I think we are done with rehearsals for today. Thank you everyone".
