A Perfect Love

"Exuse me, Mrs. Scott?"1

Isabella smiled at the sound of her new last name and glanced briefly at the diamond sparkling on her finger before she put down the dry erase marker and turned away from the white board to address the teenager wildly waving his hand in the air.2

"Yes, Hayden?" she replied with a broad smile.3

The young boy hesitated then asked cautiously, "Can you explain that thing about winning grapes again?" Poor kid, he turned bright red and sunk in his seat as some of the students snickered.4

Isabella couldn't help but smile. "Hayden, Shakespeare wasn't talking about winning grapes. Listen to the first line again. 'What win I if I gain the thing I seek?' He's saying, what do I really get when I get what I want? Everything in the lines after that are Illustrating Examples. Now over the weekend I want you to..."5

As Isabella turned back to the whiteboard to formally write out the class's homework, she heard giggles erupt behind her. She ignored them and continued expounding upon the Shakespearean play they would be required to write about.6

She heard another peal of laughter. Odd, Shakespeare didn't typically make teenagers giddy, she thought. Isabella dropped the marker and turned around to ask what the commotion what, but the words never left her mouth. They were cut off by a strong arm grabbing her around the waist and pulling her into a kiss.7

The classroom erupted into cheers, catcalls, laughter, and whistles as Isabella lost herself in her husband.8

After several long seconds of being oblivious to the rest of the world, he released her and looked into her eyes, grinning. Isabella's knees almost buckled and she smiled, then blushed crimson as she realized her class was still in cheering enthusiastically. 9

"Jack!" she squealed, "You're so..." he cut off her reprimand with another kiss, then stepped away, leaving her staggering, and bowed to his audience, rallying a deafening response. He stood up straight, threw his arms into the air, and shouted over the din, "CLASS DISMISSED!!" 10

The teens let out a howl of delight and pandemonium ensued as they rushed to gather up their things and bolt out the door before their teacher could call them back. But she tried.11

"Wait! Your homework!" she pleaded, but it was too late. She wheeled around to face her husband.12

"TWENTY MINUTES early Jack?" She smacked him and he pretended it hurt. "Jack, you can't just..." he grinned and she couldn't remember what she was going to say. In the wake of that grin, she couldnt even breathe. Somewhere in the back of her mind, she registered the roses on her desk as she tried to think, tried to function. "Ah, screw it" she laughed and the world melted again as she kissed him passionately.

    Very Good

    I'll be honest...I just wish it were longer. This is, grammatically, the best story I've read on this site; and, it's also a very entertaining story. Two thumbs up for you!
