Maths

Date/Timing: 12 August 2013
Setting: Dael & Isaac's home; Koffiefontein, FS, South Africa
.
Griet and Pietr sit on her bed working on her maths homework, or rather, Griet works on maths and Pietr lounges against her side. She pokes at his head—she need her arm—and he flops over, pressing his forehead into her neck.
She totally ignores his heartbeat and the hand that's snuck around her back to rest on her hip; in fact she needs to use most of her brain to focus on not giggling because Pietr's kissing her neck and it really tickles and dear /god will they be in trouble if Papa catches them—
Griet takes a deep breath, reaches across with her free hand, shoves his shoulder.
He huffs, warm air washing down her shirt, and kisses the corner of her mouth.
And her heart flutters.
Pietr smiles against her skin and kisses her more enthusiastically and his hand kneads her hip.
Griet makes a noise at the back of her throat she totally doesn't mean to—
And Pietr's heart flutters—
Footsteps in the hall.
She grabs Pietr's chin, hisses, “Papa!”, and shoves him toward the open window.
Pietr flails away from her, eyes huge, scrambles across the duvet—
Doorknob rattles.
—dives out the window and's gone.
Griet hastily straightens her blouse.
“What's going on in here?” hollers Papa, slamming open the door.
She looks up, pencil in hand, blinking. “I'm working on my maths?”
Papa scans the room, deflates. “Oh. I swore I heard ....” Shakes his head. “Finish your homework.” Backs from the room, closes the door.
Griet exhales, then smiles to herself and focuses on her maths.
