Relief (Completed).

Chapter 11 of Relief

"Hello?" My phone rang at 12am. "Mom's on the line." Mom said, her voice hard. "Oh." I said. Carl looked at me curiously. Mom, I mouthed to him. My phone flew from my hand. "Hello? Mrs. Williams, this is Carl. I am sorry we didn't tell you immediately, but I offered the class a sleepover tonight, seeing my place is pretty big. Is it okay if Jade will stay or should I bring her home?" He talked to my mom politely. "Oh. it's fine for me, don't worry. I was just worried. Take care of my daughter, please. And all of your there." Mom said. "We will. Thank you." Carl answered. "Can I talk to my child?" "Yes of course." He handed me my phone and gave me thumbs-up. "Mom?" "Jade, just take care. Enjoy the sleepover. I love you, dear." She said. "Yes mom. I love you too. Better sleep now." I said. She hung up. As soon as I'm finished, Carl kissed me again. "My beautiful angel, you wanna sleep now?" He asked me. "Doubt I can, not with you here." I said. He laughed. I kissed him, and soon, we're flying to our heaven again. I sighed.

He had his arms around me when I woke up. He is beautiful in sleep. How I love this boy. I waited for him to wake up, thining 'bout things. What if this will brought up something? What if, I get... Pregnant? Ugh. Too late now. But I can't fight with my feeelings, now that I'm in my happy place.  Carl loved me. I reminisced the feeling of his lips, his touch, the feeling of his arms around me. I felt so protected, so loved, so wanted. It contented me. Then, reality hit me. Mom. What would I say about the "sleepover"? That's a ridiculous excuse for me, really. But a perfect one too.

I was deeply mesmerized by my thoughts. I didn’t notice Carl was awake, not until he kissed me. “Good morning, beautiful angel.” He smiled at me. I smiled at him too.

We went down for breakfast. Darn, he’s a great cook. That made me love him more.

We ate pancakes and blueberry muffins. It tasted so good.

I took bath—luckily I brought extra clothes with me—then prepared to leave. Carl dropped me to my house. Mom greeted us and thanked him. I was nervous to get out of the car. What the hell will I tell mom? Fortunately, mom  didn’t fuss, instead made me relax on my own. That’s great. I needed time to meditate.

Am I stupid in agreeing of making love to Carl? Maybe girls really are weak when it comes to love. How frustrating.
