She Taught Me How to LOVE

Chapter 33

Amber's POV

After breakfast Arson excuses himself to take a shower and I pick up the plates that were left behind to wash them. After putting away the pan that I was drying I heard a sound coming from the counter where we just finished eating. Arson's phone turns on notifying him that he has a message and my curiosity gets the better of me. I walk over to phone and look at the message from the unknown number that gives Arson a time and address. My hand reaches for the phone right when I hear the water of the shower turn off. I walk back to the sink and dry the plates starring out the window thinking about the message on the phone. Who could Arson be meeting tonight and why the unknown number I shake my head overthinking a simple a text. The hairs on the back of my neck stand up as a reaction of Arson kissing me.

"What are you thinking about?" I shake my head again not turning around.

"It's nothing"

"Are you sure it's nothing?"

"Yeah by the way what time is it?" I turn my head to face him and he leaves my side to retrieve his phone. I hear him let out a breath then he tells me it's almost 12 my eyes widen and I turn around completely. "Oh my god!" I run to the bedroom to get my phone to see many missed calls and a load of texts from Jake asking me where I am. Wasting no more time I dial my mom to let her know where I spent the night.

"Hello"

"Hey mom"

"Amber where were you last night don't you know how worried we were about you."

"I know mom."

"No you don't know we didn't know if you were dead or passed out somewhere your dad and Jake spent half the night looking for you."

"I'm sorry mom I lost track of time and I fell asleep."

"Where Amber?"

"At Arson's place" I look up to see him standing in the doorway biting his lip trying to keep his laughter under control.

"We'll talk about when you get home which I expect you to be in the next hour is that understood?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Good" She hangs up the phone and Arson starts laughing while I glare at him.

"Stay the night he says, nothing will happen he says."

"Hey I didn't know that you were a bad girl who didn't let her parents know where she was."

"Yeah well you're lucky that I'm 18 or else they would have had the FBI knocking at your door."

"They care Amber which is good." He sits on the bed next to me placing my legs to be laying on top of his lap.

"I know but sometimes they care a little too much if you ask me."

"Well they are parents only they know what there reasons are for being so protective." It takes me a while to respond back to Arson because it made me think of all of the times that my parents had to give up most of there lives for me.

"Yeah I guess you're right."

"Am I or did you just agree to get me to shut up."

"A little bit of both because this talk is really not your best talk."

"Ouch and she wounds me again she's just on fire today."

"Yeah yeah you deserved that now if you will excuse me I have an hour to get home."

"Get changed I'll drive." He leaves me in the room to change while he goes to the living room to look for the keys. As I'm getting dressed I can't help but want to ask him what he was planning on doing tonight considering the text I saw.
