The heartbeat of everyone spreads through the principal room. I even have this feeling that the floor beneath us is shaking. Just a few seconds ago, I said the most shocking thing I could think of in my entire life.
She's my wife
I still hear the echo of this sentence in my head. I look into their faces and the only thing I see is their real shock drawn on their faces. They certainly don't believe with their ears what I just said. I immediately feel a strong grip on my left hand. I turn my head and see clearly what is written on the teacher's face.
What are you doing?
I really want to explain it to her. Explain my audacity in this situation. But this is the only thing that can save us. Even if it's a lie and it can complicate things more. Gradually, we all return to reality, because I immediately hear the shaking voice of the school principal.
„Wha...What did you just say, boy?“ the principal is visibly confused and mad at the same time.
„I said Miss Springfield... Mary... is my wife.“ I am trying to say it with confidence.
The school principal looks confusedly at his son, who has visible veins on the sides of his face. Definitely going to burst from anger. I watch Mathew as he want to jump on me, but his father's hand stops him.
„Are you serious ? What is this nonsense?“ the school principal frowns.
„You know...“ turned my attention to the principal „...It all started before I came here to school. Actually... before we both came here.“ I am looking at the teacher while holding her delicate palm.
The teacher says nothing. Just watches me in silent shock. Her eyes are wide open. I can still see the sentence on her forehead. What the hell are you doing?!! But she froze and can't say it out loud.
„This is the greatest nonsense I've ever heard!!... You're just a teenager, boy... How can you be married to Miss Springfield here?“ principal is visibly upset and his hand on the desk is clenched into a fist.
„But I'm not a teenager...SIR!... I am twenty years old. I know it's unbelievable but it's true.... My parents and I moved a lot and it did happened that I missed school... So now I'm older than the others in this school. My teacher and I met long ago, but we didn't expect to both end up at the same school... That's why we tried to keep our distance. So now one knew the reality... But your son was harassing my tec...I mean... Mary so I intervened... I know I shouldnt but I'm not going to let anyone hurt the love of my life.“ I speak with confidence in my voice so no one notice that I am so scared right now.
The school principal says nothing. He rests his back carefully on the chair. His son looks in silent astonishment. After a while, they look at each other and they both start laughing uncontrollably.
/ They don't believe it... FUCK... my thoughts are overhelming me.
„Hahahahaha...“ they are laughing like monkeys.
„I have to admit, I believed you for a moment, son...“ says principal with tears in his eyes „...But I know the truth. What you say can't be true, because here at school we check everything and everyone... It is true that the teacher came here for certain reasons and evidently, our conversation was not enough for her. Am I right, Miss Springfield?" principal looks sternly at the teacher.
„Yes...“ she speak with shaking voice.
The teacher let go of my hand and just lowers her head. I think she can't look at the school principal. From the side I see writen defeat on her face. As if she had given up or something.
„But it's true...“ I spat on them.
„ENOUGH...*BAM*...!“ the principal stands up, yell at us and slam his fist on the table.
I admit that I did not expect this reaction. So far, he was so calm and reasonoble. I guess he just probably lost his patience. I look at the teacher and she visibly shakes.
„Completely useless to continue this... LIE. You are young and I understand your love for this type of women. I really do... but you were only seduced by this young lady here who just uses her appearance to manipulate males around her...“ the principal is moving away from his desk towards teacher.
/ WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?... I want to scream.
„I'm right, aren't I? Miss Springfield?“ and principal puts his hands on her bun.
„Aah...please dont“ she begs.
He removes a hair stick from her bun and her black hair automatically untangles. Using his hands helps her hair loose nicely behind the chair on which she is sitting. My heart beats like crazy. Even in this situation, my desire is stronger than me. I feel restless in my crotch and blush on my cheeks.
„You see?... I was right...“ principal is looking at me.
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
The sound on the door. I immidiatly turn around directly toward the door behind us. The principal go rigth to the door and opens it.
„I have a witness who has already told me everything.“ principal is smiling at us.
/ What does he mean by that?... Besides Mathew, who else? my head is going to burst.
One of my classmate enters the room. A man I wasn't expecting here at all. Thomas. The person who first helped us at the party is now betraying us like that?
„YOU???“ I am looking at him with horror in my eyes.
Thomas didn't even look at me. He turned only to the school principal.
„You called for me?“ he speak with sadness in his voice.
„Yes... Please stand right here next to them and tell us again what you told me before.“ the principal speaks calmly, pointing with his hand where Thomas should stand.
Thomas carefully moves closer to us but still does not look in our direction. I can see his body is little shaking.
„What are you doing?... and... Why?“ my voice trembles with fear and disappointment.
„Sorry Neil... I truely am... I don't know what happened... I guess I was probably overwhelmed by jealousy towards you...But I didn't want this to happen... In my anger and jealousy, I talked about your relationship with our teacher in the hallway and principal heard me... Then he start to ask all those questions... pushed me and I had to tell him... There was no choice. Otherwise I wou...“ Thomas speak out of fear, but the school principal interrupts.
„That's not what I wanted from you. For you both to understand. He basically confirmed your relationship to me. That you are meeting secretly in her office. And when I see Miss Springfield hair... I thing... I understand it now. That is enough for me...“ principal speak in calm voice but with serious face „...That is all. You can leave now, Thomas. You are no longer needed here.“ the principal gestures Thomas to leave this room.
Thomas turns slowly in our direction and on his lips I see the words: Forgive me. But I just can't even look at him. I'm so angry. My face is so red out of pure rage towards him and this situation.
/ How could he do this to us?... How could he betray us like that? For stupid envy?... And what will happen to the teacher now? Now we are done... teacher... Now she is really doomed... I feel tears flowing into my eyes.
"Dad... Why don't you do what I suggested to you... PUNISH HER!!" Mathew is trying one of his schemes.
"Haircut? I already told you ... I understand that is the reason for many things but... NO! I cant do that even if I wanted to..." principal speak with annoyance.
"Only through my dead body..." teacher shouts at them while tears flowing down her cheeks.
"But you deserve it !! Look at that hair... Beautiful short cut... At least you will stop teasing m... my classmates with your appearance..." Mathew and his slimy smile again.
"Mathew, I'd rather stick those scissors in one of your eye than let you touch teacher's hair." I threaten Mathew.
*THE DOOR FLEW OPEN*
Me and teacher immidiatly turn towards an open door. We cant believe our eyes.
„Who ARE YOU ? And what are you doing?“ the principal shouts towards them while standing.
„Principal... We come to you... because we need explain the whole situation...“ Peter speaks and Mark is standing right beside him.
„Guys... Why? How?...“ I am speachless.
„We met Thomas... He told us everything. So we came here to help you guys...“ Peter is looking at me with serious face.
„Such audacity!! You come in here as if you were at your own house or something! Leave my office immediately!!“ principal is yelling at Peter and Mark and pointing his finger at them.
„No. First... I'll show you one video. Then you change your mind.“ Mark speak with confidence.
„Which video... I dont understand...“ principal is visibly confused.
„DON'T LISTEN TO THEM DAD! THEY ARE TRYING TO MANIPULATE YOU!“ Mathew is screaming into whole room.
„SILENCE!“ principal shout at his son who is visibly scared.
„Here. Look at this, principal. This is what actually happend at that party...“ Mark is showing his phone to the principal.
/ I cant believe this... They filmed it?... I am so confused right now I feel dizzy.
Mark recorded almost everything. There is no complete beginning. For example, how they lured me into a room. But he filmed the passage where Mathew tries to cut the teacher's hair. Clear evidence that Mathew is responsible for this situation. The principal finally learns that the teacher is indeed a victim here. Disappointment is clearly visible on the director's face. His son deceived him and he finally realize that his son has a problem. The desire for hair and cutting. Miss Springfield is leaning on me while holding me. I feel her body tremble. She is crying. But this time from relief. The truth has finally come to light. A stone must have fallen from her heart, haunting her all along. The principal looks at his son with contempt.
„Go to the next room. I'll come to you in a moment.“ he speak with defeated voice.
„Dad?“ Mathew is shaking.
*BAM*
„GO THERE! NOW!“ principal is yelling at his son point this finger on the room next to us.
Mathew doesn't say a word anymore and with heavy steps he moves out of the room.
„Can I keep this phone? As a proof?“ principal ask Mark.
„Phone no, but here. I have this flash drive. You can keep it.“ Mark hands him the flash disk.
„I hope there are no more copies. You will not public it here in our school or somewhere else... You understand?“ principal is looking at Mark with mad serious look on his face.
„Yes, sir. No copies. Promise.“ Mark speak with soft voice.
„Good. Now... please leave us alone. I need to say something and you dont need to be here anymore.“ principal is slowly sitting down on his chair.
„Before you go guys...Thank you... Thank you so much...There is no words for what you did today... Even if you didn't have to. You helped. I will never forget it. You are the best.“ I speak to them with teary eyes.
„Anytime dude... We are friends... Right?“ and Peter with Mark smiled at us and then leave the room.
We sat back and for a few long minutes the room was quiet. Not even our breathing could be heard. Just the loud ticking of a watch hanging on the wall. As if our time was counting down and we were waiting for the judgment to come.
„I am very surprised... by what I have just learned... I heard about it but... I... I didn't want to believe it. My own son... Doing those things. Neil... I really thought you were seduced by Miss Springfield here... Now I know that's not entirely true...“ principal speak to us with such sadness in his voice „... But I also cannot ignore this... Your look is very...." he pause and take a deep breath then continue „...You're just very pretty Miss Springfield and that doesn't do good among students here... You are seducing them, though not directly... So I decided it would be better if you found another profession and we will pretend that nothing happened...“ he leans more towards us.
„But principal...“ I want to reason with him but teacher stop me with her hands on mine.
„Neil ... that is enough... I've always been afraid of this. I naively thought it would be different here. But it is not... I agree with the principal here... It'll be better if I leave... I don't want students' parents to start dealing with me... That's why I'd better go. Despite everything, thank you principal. I'll pack my things and leave today.“ teacher stands up from her seat.
„I'm glad we understand eachother Miss Springfield. It will be better this way.“ And they both shake their hands.
The teacher looks at me before leaving the room and I see a lot of sadness on her face. This decision was not easy but probably expected. Her feets are fast. I immidiatly run after her. She is fast. From a distance I am watching as her hair sways in the air from side to side. The students on the hallway gasp at the sight. This is for the first time they see teacher with loose hair. You can hear the loud whispering and talking. Surely it is about this mane on her head. This black floor length hair. She enters her office and I immediately close the door.
„Slow down, please... You can't get fired like this. We have to do something. We can't...“ and her hands stop me in speaking.
„Please...Stop...“ she speak with sadness in her voice.
„But...“ am trying to reason with her.
„Today I realized.. that this is not right... Although I like you very much, it only brings so many problems... It will be better if we end things... Right now...“ she speak and her face is serious.
I am in shock. As if she had knocked me over with a large heavy hammer. Her last sentence hurts me deeply.
„What the hell are you saying?... Are you serious now?... After all we've been through together?“ I am holding her hands and I can't believe what I am hearing from her.
„Neil, you're young... Although age does not play a role. In this society, it is. Circumstances don't want us to be together. I don't want you to have more problems because of me. What will your parents say when they find out you started dating a teacher from school?... Hm?... Have you thought about it? How will they feel?... I can't be this selfish towards your parents. Look... that's why we got in trouble in first place... It will be better if our paths split here. PLEASE... Forget about me...“ she turned away from me.
I see her body shake and she hugs her body with her hands to maintain her posture.
„Mary. But what you saying now... it doesnt make any sense... I love you... You want the impossible from me.“ I am confused.
I am slowly approaching her. I want to hug her from behind, but she unexpectedly turns in my direction.
„You don't understand?... LEAVE! GO AWAY! I don't want to see you anymore... It is over...“ and she started pushing me out of the room.
„But wait...“ the only thing I could said to her because she shove me out of the room while slamming the door in front of my face.
*BAM* *BAM* *BAM*
„MARYYYY...PLEASEEE....OPEN THE DOOR...WE NEED TO TALK...THIS IS NOT RIGHT...PLEASE...TALK TO ME...“ I am slamming my hand on the door while yealling at her.
After a few long minutes, I sit on the ground in front of her door, my head between my palms. I cry like never before in my life. I feel so devastated. For the first time in my life, I suffer for the love of a woman. Despite everything, I'm losing her. I could not prevent this. I did not expect it. I thought the bond between us is stronger. But our enemies still managed to divide us. Eventually, my parents came to school for me. The director must have called them. He had to know what was going to happen. I didn't see the teacher again after that day. First, it was a huge mess at home, but only for a while. To my surprise, I found understanding in my father. He said I am young and he understood if I fell in love with a person as beautiful as my teacher.
It's been a few days and I have no information about the teacher. Although I asked the principal to give me her address, he turned me down. Apparently to him, it's better this way. For my own good. I'm starting to get depressed. I got to the state I was at the beginning. I didn't talk to anyone. Sometimes the guys, Peter and Mark, managed to take me to a bar and have a few beers. They're trying to cheer me up. After a while, Thomas appeared with them. For the start, I punched him in the face. He got it coming because he threatened me and the teacher. But since Peter and Mark saved me because of him, I forgave him. Not immediately, but gradually I'm starting to trust him again.
It's been almost a year since the incident and my breakup with my teacher. Time is running so fast. I am no longer a student. Today I am 21 years old. Thanks to meetings with guys, I also met new people. I'm lucky because I got an offer to work for a company that deals with videos, photography, instagram and so on. Today we take photos in the studio. Irony. It's cold outside, but we take pictures of models in swimsuits. Sometimes business is interesting. I don't really understand it, so I'm glad I don't have to decide.
„Neil... do you know where the make-up suitcase is? I can't find it...“ the girl speaks to me with soft voice.
„I think behind that bench.“ and I am pointing my finger.
„Ah... Thank you.“ she answer me with smile.
This is Janet. In our group she works as a make up artist for models. She is so clever and her hands are amazing. She always knows how to make a makeup we need for shooting. Her hair always in pink color and crew cut. Supposedly, so that her hair does not interfere with her work. As a veteran, I tried to explain to her that there is something like a hairstyle and hair bands, clips. That my ex-girlfriend had long hair. But according to her, she would not take care for such long hair.
„Neil did you prepare those lights?“ Mark asks me.
„Yeah... they are ready.“ I answer him back.
„Good... today we have really pretty models... I need a good light so I can take few sexy pictures of them...“ Mark rubs his hands while his tongue is out.
*SMACK*
„Stop with this nonsense... If they see you doing this, you will definitely scare them and our contract is doomed!“ Petr smack Mark on his back.
„Sorry...“ Mark spat out with no breath in his lungs.
As you can see I am working with friends from school. Mark is our guy with a camera and Petr is dealing with contracts so we all can have some work to do and earn money. I quite like this job. I am still learning new stuff. Sometimes I take photos too. I am learning. Fortunately, Mark has patience with me. I'm curious about today's models. We take pictures of them in swimsuits. While the boys and Janet had already met them, I was carrying things from the van so I dont know who I am dealing with.
„And are they as pretty as Mark describes them?“ I ask with a small smile on my face.
They both said nothing, they looked at each other and both had a smile on their faces. Peter then goes in my direction and puts his hand on my shoulder.
„I think you'll be excited.“ he say it while smiling at me.
„Okay...“ I answer him back with surprise.
While preparing the lampshades, I noticed how the first model came out. Pretty figure. She is wearing a black swimsuit in one piece. But I noticed something unexpected. This model has really long hair. Her dark brown hair ends at her calves. The hair is quite dense and slightly wavy. I think there can be more than just one super long-haired beauty in this world. I look at her better and she has quite interesting eyes. They are gray in color. It reminds me a lot of someone. But I can't remember who exactly. Janet just came to her. I guess she is finishing her makeup. Suddenly a guy showed up. He came to this girl model and put a kiss on her cheek. Joy shines from that model face. I guess he's probably her boyfriend.
/ Lucky bastard... I am thinking with smile on my face.
„Wow...such a long hair...“ I said it at loud.
/ I Envy him... Last time I saw hair like this was when I was with my teacher... But teachers hair was longer. Black super long hair to the floor... Damn... I miss her so much... What happened to her? Where is she now? Is her hair still long? I feel sadness begin to take hold of me.
„Do you like what you see?... There were times when you looked at me like that... With such desire...“ said a woman's voice.
/ THIS VOICE... Could it be? my eyes wide open and I slowly turn around.
„Hi.“ Miss Springfiled speak to me.
I am in shock. My pupils want to leave my head. The teacher is in front of me. Miss Springfield. My Mary. In her full beauty. She is wearing exactly the same beige swimsuit I saw in her apartment. She's beautiful as always. Her tanned skin. I feel that in the one year I haven't seen her, she's even prettier. It relieved me when I noticed her amazing black super long hair. She still has it and the ends of her hair are resting on the floor. They cover her entire back and legs. I am excited about her appearance as the first time I saw her. Nothing has changed for me. I still adore her.
„You? Wh..What are... you... doing here?“ am so surprised that I stammer.
„Heh. I'm here for a photo shoot. I am a new model for the product you guys are shooting here...“ she speaks shyly and puts some of the strands of her hair behind her right ear.
„I see...“ I answer her uncertainly, not knowing how to treat her now.
„She is really a cute girl you know... Hey!... Did you know we were both in the competition together and we won it?... That's why we have a photo shoot together today. We will be the faces of one product that is now being promoted for hair. Who would have thought that long hair will be so desirable for photography... I'm quite surprised.“ she speak with such elegance and radiance.
„Long hair is best. Especially those with very long.“ I said it with confidence while looking at Mary.
I see her cheeks turn red. She must have been pleased with what I just said.
„And...How are you?“ she asks me and her voice is a little sad.
„Good... I think... Used to be better.“ I answer her with little smile.
„I see...“ and she continue to speak "...I know you're mad at me... I guess I deserve it... for what I have done to you..." Mary speaks sadly.
I don't answer her for a while. I can feel that the teacher is looking at me and waiting for my answer. That's why I'm having a hard time breathing.
"I was angry before....Not gonna lie to you... I didn't understand your sudden decision. For both of us... But I had a conversation with my father and he explained it to me... When I looked at it from a different perspective, Eventually I began to understand. Although I hate to admit it, but I understand what you actually did that day. I still stand by the fact that we were supposed to solve it together..." I said it with sad smile.
"Oh...Neil...I..." Mary is looking at me and her hands are covering her chest.
"But... since we are no longer in a student-teacher relationship. I think we can start over. Don't you think?" I speak with such confidence in my voice while looking at her.
„And... if we try again? As if we just meet?“ and her fingers are fidgeting while looking at me longingly.
„You mean completely from scratch? From the beginning?“ I am asking her with surprised look.
„Yes...so...Hi!...My name is Marry Springfield. And you are?“ and she has an outstretched hand in front of her.
„Hi!... My name is Neil Slovak...Nice to meet you, Mary.“ I take her hand and gently shake it.
We are still holding our palms together. As if we can't let go. We both have the same expression on our faces. The desire to kiss. Therefore, we do not wait and with the help of our hands we draw ourself close to each other and we kiss. It's a long and passionate kiss. A kiss that brings back so memories. Times when we were both happy. My hands are immidiatly on the both sides of her head so I can insert my fingers in her super long hair. She moans. After a while, we are interrupted by the applause of our observers. Petr, Mark, Janet even the super long haired girl with her partner. Everyone clapping their hands and smiling at us.
„It seems that we have some fans.“ she said it playfully.
„Yeah...I guess...“ I said it with smile.
We are still in the embrace.
„Neil... But I have one inseparable thing... I can't ignore..“ Mary speak with interest on her face.
„What??“ I am asking surprised.
„Do you think that you can help me take care of my long mane?“ she whispers tenderly it into my right ear.
„Forever, my love.“ and we both kiss again.
THE END
Note: Thank you all for your support and for reading this story to the end. I know that you have been waiting for this chapter for a long time and it does not have so many elements for a good hair fetish for which I apologize. I'm really glad I found the strength to write this last chapter. I don't promise you an exact date, but soon there will be a new story and new characters.
Be healthy ...
