I'm in Love With My Best Friend

Chapter 8

****Rowan's P.O.V.****

Oh shit.

"Uh, hey, dad," I said, smiling nervously.

"I'm waiting for an answer," he said, tapping his foot impatiently.

"Well, uh, you see, we were, um, practicing CPR mouth to mouth for homework,"

"So why was his shirt off?" He asked with a smirk, probably proud he figured out another question.

"Well, you see, sir, in CPR, you must lift the shirt up to be able to see where to push down, that way you don't break any bones," Jake jumped in, saving me.

I mouthed a "thank you" to him before turning back to my dad and looking him in the eye.

"Well, this better be true, considering Rowan isn't allowed to date until the is 16," he said, directing it towards Jake.

"It is Sir," Jake said while looking at him.

My dad gave him a firm nod before leaving the room.

There was a long awkward silence.

"Well, I should probably get going," Jake said, getting up from his laying position on my bed.

"Actually, I think I need some more practice," I whispered in his ear.

"Row, your dad just walked in on us, and I don't want you to get in even more trouble than you already are. I mean, I wo-" he rambled, but I cut him off by placing my lips on his. He just stood there at first, probably shocked. After a couple of seconds, he kissed back. I started running my hand up his abs, and he quickly pulled away.

"Row, I'm serious. No funny business. I love you, but I can't do this. We just got in trouble with your dad, and I don't want you to get in more trouble than you already are. I respect you too much to do that. Please don't take this the wrong way, it's just that I don't want you to get in trouble. Okay?"

I was about to reply when my dad walked through the door, a hint of a smile on his face. He sighed before saying,

"You are a good guy, son, and I will agree to let Rowan date you if you make sure you get her back by her curfew on every date, and no funny business until you are ready to start a family. You better not mess this up, because I am trusting you with my pride and joy. And I swear, if you ever break my daughters heart, I will break every bone in your body, starting with your pretty little face."

"Of course, sir. I love her too much to ever be able to ever THINK about breaking her heart. I am honored to be able to date her, and I promise to treat her right."

My heart fluttered at his words, and I looked up to him and smiled.

"I love you, too, Jake."

"Oh," my dad started. "The most important rule: this door stays cracked when you are over. At no point should it be closed."

"Of course, dad," I said.

"I'll leave you two to it. Remember, I can hear everything you're doing," my dad said before he left the room again.

"I really do have to leave, so I give you one more kiss and then I have to leave. Use it wisely," Jake said.

I leaned in and smashed my lips on his, him kissing back instantly. I love him so much. This time, I slid my tongue across his bottom lip. He gladly opened his mouth and I instantly slipped my tongue in, tugging at the back of his hair. He battled my tongue for dominance and just as he was about to win, I pulled away. I gave him a few pecks before walking back to my bed.
