Forbidden Passion

Chapter 7

We walk into Mr. Foss' house and Samantha heads straight to the bedroom. Mr. Foss heads to the kitchen and I feel really bad for what I have done.

"Hey." I say as I walk into the kitchen and take a seat on his dining chair.

"Hey? What, you are going to act like you did not just embarrass me in front of my friends?" he asks angrily.

"I was just going to say that I am really sorry, about everything... especially today." I say.

"Oh, is that all you have to say for yourself?"

"I don't know what else to say to you."

"Thank you for breaking your pride for once Catherine." he says without turning back to look at me.

"I didn't realize dating me was embarrassing." I say after a minute of silence.

"You don't get it do you?" He says  before turning to look at me.

"What? That I want to be your girlfriend?" I ask without realizing.

"Really?" he asks before stepping closer.

"Really." I respond then get up and stand in front of him, looking him right in the eyes.

Before I know it, he pulls me close, wraps his arm around my waist and passionately kisses me. I never knew a man could kiss a woman so seductively, but I try to keep up with my inexperience. He lifts me up and places me on the dinning table as he kisses my neck intensely that it hurts for a few seconds. I hear Samantha coming down stairs so I pull away quickly and Mr. Foss carries me off the table before we pretend like nothing happened. I grin at her and walk up to my room because I know she has clearly lost the battle.

***
I am woken up by Samantha screaming in the morning and it really pisses me off.

"What are you doing!" I yell as I open my eyes and see her standing over me with a disgusted look on her face.

"Who the hell gave you that?" she asks she says as she she examines my neck.

"What are you talking about?" I yell then push her away.

"Why do you have a hickey on your neck Catherine, like mum and dad are going to freak out tomorrow. Who put that there?" She yells.

"I don't know what you are talking about, you are such a drama queen." I say then walk to the mirror.

There is a dark purple mark on the part of my neck that Mr. Foss kissed me yesterday. This is so bad, especially with the fact that Samantha knows what it is. I get changed and cover the annoying mark with a plaster as I don't want anyone to see it.

"Hey Catherine, Morning Samantha, how was your night?" Mr. Foss says as he walks into the room.

"I don't know ask Catherine, she must have hooked up with one of your friends at your party." Samantha says angrily.

"Are you okay?" Mr. Foss asks as he reaches out to touch my bandage.

"Yes it is just a mark, probably an allergic reaction-"

"Shaped like a hickey, we aren't stupid you piece of-." Samantha says defensively.

"Can I talk to Catherine for a second Samantha, if you don't mind?" Mr. Foss asks interrupting her. Samantha storms out of the room and I pull Mr. Foss to sit on the bed with me .

"Did you bite me last night?" I whisper then laugh.

"It is called a hickey Catherine and I am so sorry. " he says as he caresses my bandage.

"You don't have to be sorry. It doesn't hurt at all and I don't care what Samantha thinks." I say then place my hands on his neck and peck him on the lips. He quickly pulls back and takes my hands off his neck.

"Don't worry, Samantha won't find us." I whisper then wrap my fingers through his.

"It is not that Catherine." He says then unwraps his fingers and moves further away from me.

"I know, we probably need to figure out how we can sneak around with Samantha here. She doesn't know it was you for sure. I can make something up." I whisper.

"Last night, I just really missed my girlfriend and because of our tragic breakup, I just couldn't stop thinking about her. When you mentioned that last night, you just made me realize how much I miss having her around."

"Wait, so in short you were just messing with me again?" I say angrily

"I need you to understand Catherine that's-"

"All I needed to know, I can't take you serious." I say interrupting him as Samantha walks into the room.

"I will tell him you are only a child. That should never have happened." Mr. Foss says as he gets up and leaves the room. I get my books and start reading for the exam.

"So did you tell him?" Samantha asks me.

"Tell him what Samantha?" I ask confused.

"Whatever silly games you are playing Catherine, I hope someone catches you out." Samantha says as she lays on her bed.

***JAKE FOSS***

I wake up the girls, prepare myself for the day as I have prepared a test to see who is is fit for the math league. I really hope Catherine will do well, after all the tension that built up yesterday in her room. We head to University and I am not going to lie, I am going to miss having the girls around, more especially Catherine. I can't help but think about myself being with her, neither can I remember the last time I have ever wanted to be with someone this bad, but it feels so wrong.

"Are you nervous for the test today?" I ask Catherine as we walk to class.

"No." She says then walks ahead of me.

After the test I call up my best friend David, so that I can talk to him about my feelings towards Catherine. I usually used to talk to Dan but how awkward would it be if I told him that I want to be with his niece? He decided to come and meet me in the cafeteria for lunch because I have a class to teach after lunch.

"Jake, what is all this I hear about you and some child.?" David asks once we sit down in the cafeteria.

" She is not a child David she is a young lady. She is about 18." I say defensively

"Exactly, 10 years younger than you. What do you even like about her, she isn't that attractive."

"She is really beautiful, I mean her eyes, her smile, her independence, her arrogance, she is so smart, her body is just so amazing. I literally can't stop thinking about her no matter how much I try."

"What you need is a real woman and I am going to help you find one." he says

" I mean-"

"You need to clap back from this child. Do you know what people will say when they hear you are screwing you student?"

"I am not screwing her come on." I say before we both laugh.

"At this rate you might as well. Look seriously, some of these girls are crazy. She could call you out for things you have not even done. She is a breathing court case and criminal conviction."

"You are crazy man. The stuff you come up with." I say.

"Look, we will work something out, we always do." He says.

I honestly can't deal with this, maybe being with Catherine just isn't the right thing for me.
