my teacher

chapter 9

I wake up in the morning and get out of bed. I shower quickly. I get out and go downstairs. "Good morning der" I smile, grabbing my robe off of the couch. He's sat next to it.

"Good morning" he smirks, scanning my body. I giggle, slapping his head lightly. "Eyes up here" I say. "Sorry" he says.

I turn around so he can't see as I put on the dressing gown and take off the towel underneath. I tie it up and sit next to him.

"How are you sweetheart?" I run my fingers through his curls. He looks down at my lips, then back into my eyes again. I pull my hand away. "Good, how are you this morning?" He asks. "I'm good too" I smile.

"I should go home" he says. "Okay, come back over though.. if your dad says anything" I say. "I'll probably just go to mark's.. his parents aren't in" he says. "Oh, okay" I say.

"You should come over" he says. "I'm 23.. I'm not hanging out with two teenagers" I say. "You're not cool enough to hang out with us anyway" he says. I chuckle.

"Bye, thanks for letting me stay over" he kisses my cheek. I smile. He stands up. "Call me later, gorgeous!" He says leaving. I roll my eyes, grinning.

Derek's pov:
It's 3 hours later and me and Mark are hanging outside. We walk down the street to go to the shop. I look at merediths house. I stop as I see her sat at her desk just next to her window.

She wipes her eyes and takes a sip of what looks like a glass of wine. "You mind if she joins us?" I ask Mark. "Whatever.. at least she's hot" he says. "She's mine" I glare at him. He chuckles.

I knock on the door. A few minutes later she answers it. "Oh, hi derek" she smiles. "Hey, you wanna come out with us?" I ask. She shakes her head.

"Come on" I pull her outside gently. "It'll be fun, I promise" I say. "I'm busy" she says. "No you're not" I wipe the dried tears on her cheeks with my thumbs. She sighs. "Fine" she smiles. "Hey mark" she says. "Hi" he smiles.

I take off my jacket, helping her put it on. "Thankyou" she smiles. "What's wrong?" I wrap my arm around her shoulder, wiping a tear that runs down her cheek.

"Got fired from my new job.. my teaching assistant turned out to be my ex boyfriend and I kinda called him a stupid bastard infront of everyone in the staff room" she says.

"Me and Mark will cheer you up" I say. "Yeah, don't you worry" Mark says. We hug her from either side as we walk. She smiles.

"Where are we going?" She asks as we pull away. "Shop.. you have your ID?" I ask. "I'm not buying alcohol for underage teenagers" she says. "Not you" I take marks fake ID.

"Derek!" She takes it off of me. "Don't be such a narc" I take it back. She chuckles, rolling her eyes. I pass it back to mark. She waits outside with me as he goes to get the booze.

"Here" I pat the spot next to me as I sit on the pavement. She shakes her head. "Dirty" she says. I pull her onto my lap. "Derek" she giggles.

"So.. the guy that you work with d-did the- the um.. sex with you" I say. She laughs. "Derek" she nudges me. "Yes or no?" I ask. "Yes, we did.. do you have a problem with that?" She whispers, moving her face closer to mine.

I look into her eyes. "Yes, I do" I move my lips closer to hers. "I didn't take you to be the jealous type" she says. "I'm not.. exept when it comes to you" I smile, my lips brushing against hers.

She giggles, pulling away. "Stop" she puts her finger on my lips. I grin. "Are you a virgin, sweetheart?" She runs her thumb along my bottom lip.

"No, I'm not" I say. "Who'd you lose it to?" She asks. I dont say anything. "You are!" She says. "Shut up" I say. She giggles.

"Aww.. its okay, you're only 17" she says. "Shut up.. I just- I'm just waiting for someone I actually like" I say. "And thats fine" she says.

"I like you" I say. I move my face closer to her's. "No" she says. I sigh. She chuckles. She kisses my cheek.

We stand up as Mark comes out. He passes us a brown paper bag with a bottle of gin in it. "That's for you two to share.. this is mine" he says. I chuckle.

"This is so against my rules but its not like I'm a fucking police officer so.. cheers" she clinks marks bottle against hers before taking a large chug. We both chuckle.

She passes me the bottle as we start walking. "Marry me" I whisper in her ear. She giggles.

A few hours later and she's quite drunk. I decided to drink less so I could look after these two.

"Mark my legs hurt" she walks over to him. He picks her up piggyback style. She giggles. "Run run run!" She says. He runs away from me. I groan. Meredith giggles, holding onto him.

I chase after them. "Put her down" I pull her off of him. "Stop being such a bad influence" I say to mark. "And don't be so cheeky" I point at her. She giggles.

"Don't run away" I say. She grins before turning around and running away. I groan. I run after her. "Stop!" I chuckle, holding her hand. I pull her back to mark.

I hold her hand, our fingers entwined so she can't run away again. She giggles, skipping as we walk back home.

She climbs onto my back piggyback style. I hold onto her legs so she doesn't fall. "I'll take her home.. bye mark" I say. "Bye mark!" She says. "Bye" he stumbles into his house.

She cuddles her face into my neck. I take her into her house and go upstairs.

"Okay, pyjamas on, there's no monsters and.. oh" I kiss her head. She smiles, cuddling Into her pillow. "Night mer" I say. "Night derek" she mumbles, closing her eyes.
