"Our Secret"

Chapter 20

I know what you're thinking. Yes, it was a little too early to say I love you. But we both felt it.

She pulls away from the hug then apologizes once more, for whatever reason.

"I'm sorry... I can't believe I said that just now. I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable, or-"

"Aniya!" I say, making her look up at me. "I did say I love you too. And I don't know why you're still apologizing. Or apologizing at all, for that matter. The point is that I love you too. Okay?"

She looked at me with her eyes watering up a bit. Then she laughs slightly.

"Okay I'm sorr- I mean... thank you."

I laugh then hug her again. "So... when can I come over to your house?"

She breaks our hug but being inches away from my face. "Tonight. I'll pick you up at 8:00." Then kisses me tightly.

"8:30 actually." I quickly say. "My mom will be home and I heard her say she's going go out with a few friends and considering that means she's gonna get drunk, she's probably going over to a friends to spend the night."

"Okay..." she says as she smiles. "Now since we've got hm about..." She looks over to the clock. "20 minutes? What do you wanna do in those 20 minutes?"

"Maybe..." I say, tracing my hand up on the back of her right thigh. "I have a few ideas."

She grins then I kiss her. She jumps up on her desk to sit down while I'm rubbing her thighs gently with both hands. She moans as I slide my right hand under her dress, stroking her inner thigh. I then break the kiss to kiss her neck.

I hear her heavily breathing as I'm kissing her neck very gently. I pull up my face to look at her, and bring my hands to her waist.

"What?" She says, smiling with her hands on my cheeks, tilting her head

"Nothing." I say moving the hair from her face to behind her ear. "You're just... so beautiful."

"Thank you." She says as she laughs. "Your not so bad yourself."

"Not so bad huh?" I laugh then kiss her again.

I pull away for a split second taking my hands off her waist to check the time on my phone.

"How cute." I hear an all so familiar voice say. Me and Aniya both jump, then I turn around.

"Page!? What are you doing here? How long have you been there?"

Aniya hurries and jumps down from her desk.

"Don't worry about it." She smiles. "The real question is, what are you doing here, Mariah." Page says as she walks toward us.

"She was helping me with..." Aniya looks at me wanting me to finish the lie she tried to come up with.

"Oh don't worry! I already know your guy's secret. Like I've said many times before, you don't need to deny it. Here, at this rate, it's pretty obvious what you guys were doing."

"What do you want, Page?" I say with my arms crossed, also wondering how she got in here without us noticing, or hearing.

"Nothing." She laughs. "I just find it funny how you two think you can get away with it so easily without a single soul finding out."

I look over at Aniya, but to see she's glaring at Page. Then I turn to page as-well.

"I'm not sure what you're getting at." Aniya says leaning on her desk.

Page hums in response. "Well, I'll be on my way then. Have a nice night, you two." She says as she walks out.

"Fuck." I say, turning to Aniya.

She puts her fingers to her head. "Do you think she's gonna tell someone?"

"I'm not sure." I say trying to sound calm. "But if she does, she still has no proof."

"No need to keep denying it now, huh?"

I laugh. "Yeah... but look at me. Everything's gonna be fine. I promise."

She locks her beautiful blue eyes with mine. "I hope so."
