Apparently Olivia had her own beach house located down at the beach, which was four hours away, and I was completely shocked when she asked me to spend the whole Spring Break with her at it.

Yes, Spring Break started and I was beyond excited. But not because I get a break from school and everything, but the fact that I'm going to be staying at the beach for a whole week with this gorgeous woman. It was a dream come true.

She told me that we could leave Monday and stay until Saturday and I was bouncing with joy. I spent the weekend with Matt, and when I told him about what I would be doing, he screamed and was freaking out. He couldn't believe it and he nearly bursted my ear drum from his excitement.

He said it was the perfect way to get away from everything in this town, and finally be with the woman I love, and I believe he is right because I need to get away from everything that I went through the past month. I deserve to spend a week away, and better yet, with Olivia.

I had to pack Sunday night and get Matt to drive me over to her house Monday morning. I couldn't sleep that night because of the excitement but I didn't care. I hardly believe that I will sleep during this break, but we'll see what happens.

After Matt dropped me off, he wished me the best Spring Break and not to forget to tell him all about it. I told him that I would surely tell him everything as I was grabbed my bags and shutting the car door.

It was around nine in the morning and it was already hot. I made my way up the driveway and to her door, but before I could open it, it opened on its own to reveal Olivia smiling at me.

"Right on time," she offered to carry my bags to her car and I watched her as I was walking behind her. After she laid the bags in the trunk, she shut it and looked at me. "Are you ready?"

I smiled and nodded. This was going to be the best week of my life and I couldn't wait. This felt too good to be true.

After she locked the door to her house, I sat in the passenger seat of her car and waited. After she got in and started the engine, she told me to put my seatbelt on as she was backing out of the driveway.

It only took a few minutes to get out of town and when we did, I decided to break the silence, "How did you afford a beach house?" I know for sure that they are not cheap.

She glanced at me then back at the road, "Well, Alex bought it years ago when we first got married," I stared at her. "He signed it in my name, so it's mine and not his," she smiled at me and I smiled back.

"That's amazing. How often do you come down here?"

She sighed, "Not that often. I never could get away and go down there to spend a day or whatever," she shrugged and continued to drive.

I wonder if the reason why she couldn't get away was because of Alex. Well, if that's it, then she doesn't have to worry about that anymore.

The ride there wasn't that boring. We played some car games and it was funny. We talked about some things here and there, but nothing too big. When we finally made it, I could smell the salt water.

I haven't been to a beach in years, and finally being able to see it again makes me happy. I loved the beach and everything about it because it's like a getaway from the world, even though there are other people here, they never mess with you. It's like you can have a peace of mind.

We pulled up to the beach house and I was in awe. It was beyond beautiful and I couldn't wait to see the inside. I helped her with our bags as we grabbed them from the trunk and I followed her up the stairs.

There was a small porch that over-looked the beach and I was completely mesmerized. She got the front door unlocked and I followed her inside where my eyes scanned over everything as I was speechless.

It wasn't huge, but it was beautiful. The living room was connected with the kitchen, which was on the left with a small dining area. The living room had four huge windows that over-looked the beach and I couldn't think because it was so amazing.

"Do you like it?" I heard Olivia say and I looked over at her as she was setting things down. I nodded but nothing came out of my mouth. I heard her chuckle, "I'll show you the rest of the house," she held out her hand and I just now realized that I had dropped the bags that were in my hand.

I smiled and grabbed her hand as she showed my the rest of the house. It was seriously amazing and I couldn't get over it. It had three bedroom and two bathrooms. It was breath-taking in every room.

She finally showed me the last room and she let my hand go, "This is our bedroom," I nodded and looked over the room until my mind finally clicked.

Our bedroom.

Wait a minute.

I looked at her, "We're sleeping together?"

She looked at me and I immediately saw a small blush across her face, "Uh, yeah. If that's ok," she stared at me waiting for me to respond.

I nodded, "That's fine," she smiled and I could feel my heart stutter in my chest at the thought of us sleeping in the same room, and the same bed.

This is going to be the best week ever.

We ended up putting everything away then taking a walk down the street. It was pretty hot, but there was a breeze going so it wasn't terrible, and the places on the beach aren't that far from where we were staying.

She bought me a bathing suit when I told her that I didn't own one. She thought it was crazy for me not to have one but she must of remembered about my life, so she didn't ask anymore.

I picked out the cutest one but I wanted Olivia's approval. I walked up to her while holding the bathing suit and held it out for her to look at it.

Her eyes scanned the bathing suit then looked back at me, "It's cute," she smiled. "Suits you,"

I felt my stomach do flips as she was smiling at me but I just nodded and held onto the bathing suit as we were still looking around the store. We didn't buy anything else but the bathing suit.

After we left, she asked if I would like to go get some ice cream before going to the beach. I looked at her as she was staring at me and wondered why she asked if I wanted ice cream.

But then again, who doesn't agree to ice cream?

I agreed as we were leaving the store and I looked out the window at all the different places as we were passing them by. It was amazing how there was so many different things down here, and so many different people.

We stopped at the ice cream shop and I was like a little kid because I couldn't wait to get ice cream. Olivia thought it was cute as she was chuckling from the smile on my face when we entered the shop.

We both got the ice cream in cones and I ordered vanilla as she ordered chocolate. We sat down outside on the balcony and looked out over the beach as we ate our ice creams.

I watched her as she was eating her ice cream and I couldn't help but smile. She caught me staring at her and smiled back, "What?"

I shrugged, "I'm just happy," her eyes held something as she smiled at me and I felt a million butterflies in my stomach.

"Me too," she smiled at me. "The happiest I've been in years,"

I knew that her happiness had something to do with me and I felt my heart pound against my chest as I stared at her. It's crazy how this woman makes me feel everything in my body with just a look or a smile.

I felt my face burn as I broke eye contact and ate my ice cream. I knew she was staring at me, but I wasn't looking up because I knew my face was red.

"Sam," I looked up and met her eyes as she was smiling at me. "Can I ask you something?" I nodded and watched her. "Why'd you get vanilla flavor?" I looked down at my ice cream then looked back at her.

"I like vanila," sort of obvious so I didn't understand why she was asking me that. "Why?"

She shrugged, "I don't know. I guess I always thought everyone prefers chocolate over vanilla,"

I smiled at her, "Well, I'm not like everyone else,"

She smiled at me, "I know, and that's a good thing," she kept staring at me and I wondered what was going on through her head. "You know, I've never met anyone like you," I watched as she kept staring at me. "You're different from everyone that I have met, and it didn't matter what age they were, because even if you are eighteen, you act more mature than your age," she stared at me, "Well, minus all the running away you have done," she smiled and I couldn't help but chuckle.

"Yeah, I know I ran away from my problems a lot," she nodded as I stared at her, "But, I'm done because there's nothing else to run from," I slowly reached across the table for her hand, "I'm where I want to be. So what's the point in running?"

She smiled and squeezed my hand. I knew that this is where I was always meant to be, and looking back on all the shit that I have been through, I know that I came this far and I couldn't be more happier.

After we had ice cream, we decided to go back to the house and change into our bathin suits. I couldn't wait to go out to the beach and just feel the breeze and sand between my toes.

I went into one bathroom to change as Olivia went into another one. After I got changed, I looked in the mirror and instantly fell in love with this bathing suit. I couldn't wait to show Olivia.

As I was walking out, I saw Olivia walk out the other one and I immediately stopped in my tracks when I seen what she was wearing. She looked over at me and smiled, "What do you think?" she went around in circles to show me the full body of her bathin suit and I was left speechless.

I stared at her and couldn't get any words to come out. She chuckled and stood there while watching me, "I'll take that as you like it?" I nodded and she chuckled. "I like yours also, very cute," I caught sight of a wink but I wasn't too sure if I was imagining it or not.

She grabbed two towels from a bag with some sunglasses and I could feel my insides burn from watching her in her bikini. It was like, my eyes couldn't stay away from her and they were roaming her body.

My eyes traveled back up to meet her eyes and she smiled at me. I felt my face burn as she probably just seen my check her out, but damn it, I couldn't help it. Not when she's wearing that.

We walked down the stairs and down the street to the beach. It was amazing how we were so close to, and that we could simple walk down the street and be at the beach.

When my feet finally hit the sand, it was like I was in heaven. It was warm and cold at the same time, and it felt amazing that I wish I never could leave from this place.

I'm going to enjoy this week.

We walked along the beach for a minute until she spoke, "Do you want to get in the water or lay out on the beach?" she asked as she was staring at me.

It was hot, but I didn't want to swim. I shrugged, "I could lay out for a few minutes," it didn't sound like a bad idea, plus, I could use some tan.

She nodded and walked a little ways until we found a spot and she handed me a towel as she laid her towel down on the sand. I watched her for a moment until I realize that I should be doing the same thing.

I laid my towel out and got down on it as she was laying out. I laid down and turned my head towards her to look at her. She put her sunglasses on and turned her head towards me and smiled.

I smiled back and turned my head a little to look down the beack. This was great and it was only the beginning of this week. I couldn't wait to see what we were going to do, and I hope one of those things include something that I've been thinking about the whole way here.

My mind seems to wander off when I'm around her, whether it's good or bad. Bad being thoughts that include her and I alone in a bedroom and it seems to make me embarrass myself everytime I think of it.

But, I can't help it. Ever since that night we shared, I've been thinking about that a lot, and hoping one day we can actually go far enough. We didn't do anything that night, although we did finally see each other in a whole new sense, but I want us to go all the way.

I'm ready for her. But the real quesion is; is she ready?

I looked back over at her and noticed she has her eyes closed since I can see through the corner of her glasses. My eyes travel down her body and I feel my own body quiver just by the sight.

I try to get my mind off of her as I sit up and look around the beach. I see a lot of teenagers, since it is Spring Break, playing with a beach ball or swimming. I also notice that they have a ping pong table set up on the sand with red solo cups on it. So, they must be playing beer pong.

I never drink and never did, because I was afraid. I was afraid of touching alcohol because I knew that addiction ran in my family, and I was scared of ending up like Jessica. I knew she had an addiction, and that's why I never touch any drug or alcohol.

As I was staring at them, I heard a voice, "Hey," I looked up to see a guy smiling at me.

I smiled back, "Hi,"

"What's your name?" he watched me waiting for an answer.

"Sam," I seen his smile grow wider and it kind of freaked me out.

"Nice to meet you Sam. I'm Tommy," he held his hand out and I shook it. I then saw his eyes glance over at Olivia before coming back to me. "Is that your sister?"

I held in my laugh as I shook my head, "No," I looked over at her then back at him, "She's my girlfriend," after I said that, his eyes grew wide and the look on his face was priceless.

"Oh," he didn't know what to say and it was funny as hell. He said his goodbye and left. I couldn't hold it in anymore as I started laughing.

"What's so funny?" I heard Olivia ask and I looked towards her as she was sitting up.

"Oh, there was this guy who came up and thought you were my sister," I thought it was so damn funny.

She took her glasses off, "What did you tell him?"

I shrugged, "I told him that you wasn't, and that you were my girlfriend," I don't even think she made us official yet, and I'm hoping that telling that guy that we were together wasn't too much. I stared at her, "Is that ok?"

She smiled, "Well, I am, aren't I?" damn, this woman.

I felt my heart speed up in my chest and she chuckled then sat her glasses down. She looked back at me and I seen a hint of something in them, the same hint of something I seen when I saw her at that restaurant when Matt took me to eat breakfast.

"Olivia," I stared at her as she was staring back. "Remember you told me you had feelings for me?" she nodded and I took a deep breath, "Well, you never answered me when I asked how long you had those feelings,"

She smiled slightly and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, "Well," she paused and was thinking. "I guess you could say that I always admired you. But, these feelings weren't present until last year,"

A whole year.

"What made you have feelings for me?" I wanted to know if they were the same as my feelings for her.

"Everything about you," she smiled. "You stood out and I couldn't help but admire you for being different," I felt my cheeks burn and she chuckled. "And the fact that you could never look me in the eyes, or when your face would turn red,"

I smiled, "I couldn't help it, although I'm getting better at it," she nodded. "You're just perfect in everyway,"

She smiled, "What about you?"

"Ever since you became my teacher," she raised her eyebrows and I chuckled. "Ever since you walked through the classroom doors, I was immediately falling for you,"

Telling her that now felt like I had the biggest weight lifted from my shoulders from all the years that I had kept that from her, and now telling her as made me finally realize that this is real.

She smiled at me and scooted closer to me. I watched as she placed her hand behind me and leaned towards me. until our lips connected. I felt everything set off in my body as I slowly found her face and cupped it to bring her closer to me.

It felt amazing to be able to kiss her in front of this beach without anyone calling the cops. They didn't know us, and they sure didn't know that she was my teacher. It was an amazing feeling.

She broke the kiss and looked at me, "This is going to be the best Spring Break ever,"

I felt my body quiver and she must have seen it because she pulled me to her and wrapped an arm about my waist as we both enjoyed the waves.

We practically stayed on the beach for hours, but we did walk back to the beach house for a few then walked back down. She said that she wanted us to watch the sunset together and I couldn't stop smiling like an idiot.

It was getting late, and the sun was about to set. We sat down on the towels, practically in each others arms, and was watching the sun set together.

It felt too good to be true because everything was perfect right now. There wasn't anything messing with our lives anymore and it felt weird, because my whole life has been nothing but bad luck. I couldn't remember when my life was perfect, because it never was. Maybe before my dad and mom got a divorce, but after that, my life turned to shit.

I lost my mom, and my sister abused me for four years. I was a mess, and I hid my life from everyone. Matt is my best friend and I should have never lied to him in the first place, but I was scared and I didn't want him telling the police about it.

After I told him, it felt like a weight has been lifted and it felt amazing to know that he still loved me and wouldn't leave me because of my shitty life.

The year that Miss Shuler came into my life, I knew that this was the beginning of torture, because I knew I liked her from the moment that she entered those doors, and I knew how wrong it was to be thinking about her.

She was married at the time, and even though it killed me, I knew that I shouldn't have those feelings for her. But I couldn't help it because she was just so amazing in every way. She brightened my day when I entered her classroom, and she made my heart stop every time she spoke to me.

I finally told her my feelings for her, and she turns around and tells me she has feelings for me. That day was the start of something that I knew I wouldn't be able to handle, because as my teacher, I knew she wouldn't embrace those feelings, so she pushed me away just to bring me back in.

I found out that she lived the same life as me and it threw me off. I couldn't believe that what I went through, she went through the same thing. I knew there was something special about that woman from the day I seen her.

The day we told each other we loved each other, I knew that we both meant it, and I knew that no matter how bad our lives get, we would always be here for each other.

Now, here I am, a month later, on the beach with the woman I thought I would never have, and a somewhat perfect life now that my sister is in rehab and is doing a lot better, and I still can't get over the fact that this is my life.

I looked over at the woman sitting next to me and I kissed her cheek. She turned to look at me and smiled, "What was that for,"

I shrugged, "To say thank you,"

She gave me a confused look, "For what?"

I smiled, "Loving me,"
