The last few days had been hell for me, not being sure whether I'd just be fired or if I'd also have to face trial. I tried my best to act normally in school, but each time I saw Stephanie, each time she asked a question, was like a knife to my gut. She acted exactly as she usually did -a bit of a smartass, a bit of a flirtatious minx-, which made me wonder at some point if what happened had just been a figment of my imagination due to stress, but no, it DID happen, I was certain. Now it was just a matter of--
"Are you even listening to what I'm saying?"
These words thankfully brought me back from my doom and gloom. Unfortunately, I came back from it just to see vice-principal Francesca glowering at me.
"I'm sorry," I lowered my eyes "I must have been daydreaming".
We were in her office, and as usual she was wearing her form-fitting office attire: a tight black tube skirt that emphasized her well-toned legs (covered in the sexiest black stockings I'd ever seen, I must add), an immaculately pressed business shirt with two buttons undone and a gold necklace that tastefully brought attention to her amazing cleavage. She wore just enough makeup to emphasize her full lips and brown eyes, and her auburn hair was cropped short, just above her shoulder, kept neatly in place by two metal pins in the form of butterflies, the only thing even remotely resembling joy or playfulness I'd ever seen from her. Despite being in her late 30s, there was no denying her killing figure. I silently said a prayer of thanks to whoever had made the insulation system for the school: despite outside being a freezing hellhole, inside everyone could dress casually.
"Pay more attention then. If we make any mistakes in the arrangements for the trip, the parents are going to eat us alive".
She was completely right: the spring celebration was a tradition in the school, with the students, teachers and a few parents spending a long weekend in a secluded private beach to celebrate the beginning of the warm season. I hadn't participated in one yet, but I was certainly looking forward to seeing all those beauties in their tight, skimpy swimsuits.
"Of course," I replied "You don't have to remind me. I'm doing my part: I've already talked to Angela and confirmed she'll go, so no need to worry about getting a substitute nurse. The only matter now is coordinating to make sure we bring enough supplies for any emergency that could happen. We've also started conversations with the local health services, just in case we get any serious problems".
That at least seemed to mollify her.
"Keep at it, then. If anything happens, at least we'll be able to say we did everything we could".
"Indeed," I replied "How's your sister? Stephanie came to see me a few days ago about her still being sick and needing an extension for their final assignment".
For a few moments, the mask fell, and I could see anxiousness in her face. It didn't take her long to recover, however.
"Loretta's almost completely recovered, fortunatelyIf everything goes well, she should return to classes next week, thanks for asking".
She stood up, meaning the meeting was over. As usual, she walked to open the door, giving me a glorious view of the way the skirt hugged her ass. I thanked her for her time and left before she noticed my growing erection.
Things seemed to be moving with alarming normality. All signs seemed to show I'd gotten away scott free, but my brain refused to believe it.
I went to my office and started marking assignments. I wasn't expected to turn these in for a good while, but I needed something to take my mind off things.
The routine exercise -the girls' lines of reasoning rarely varied much- helped me clear my head. What I'd done to Stephanie was both wrong and stupid: she was already 18, that was true, and the experience left me feeling strong and powerful, but there was no universe in which a teacher fucking a student was right, no matter how much they asked for it. This had been borderline criminal, and there was no way I'd make the same stupid mistake again.
