Opposites Attract (Student/Teacher Romance-Arranged Marriage)

chapter 7

OMG!!! I just kissed my english teacher! AND LIKED IT!! And on top of that I may even...love him.  But love doesn't exist...does it? When I was younger, I promised myself I would never let myseld believe I was in love...I never knew love...but, is this love? Am I falling for Mr. King?   He's been staring at me for 10 minutes now...not saying anything at all.  I've just been staring straight ahead, thinking about what just happened.  I slowly turned my head towards him...his eyes still hadn't moved away from me.  I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out. I didn't even know what I wanted to say!  Luckily, Mr. King said something.

"I love you, Scar. No matter how much or how little I know about you or your life, I'll never stop loving you." He place his hand on my leg.  "Trust your heart, Scar.  You won't regret it."  Mr. King got up and walked back to his desk.

It stayed quiet for a minute until i finally thought of what to say.  "Mr. King?"

"Yes Scar?" He replied.

"I-I uhhhmmm...." Come on Scarlette...just say it.  "I love you too." 

Mr. King's face lit up. "Really? You really mean it?"

"I-I think so. " I said frightened of myself.  I was really in love.

"Come here." He said, motioning me to go to him.  I stood up and slowly walked over to Mr. King, who was sitting behind his desk.  I got to him and he rolled his chair out from under his desk.  He held out his arms and he pulled me onto his lap.  He wrapped his arms around my waist.  I didn;t know what to do...this seemed kind of awkward to be honest.  "Tell me what your feeling." He said staring deep into my eyes.

I gulped. I shook my head. "I-I don't know." I stuttered.  "I'm just really confused and overwhelmed."

"That's understandable, Scar.  You've been through a lot these few days. "

"I can't believe I'm in love with my teacher." I said in a daze.

"Well believe it...You've been in love with me since you were 2." He said, laughing a little.

"I was only a baby then, I didn't know what love was." I fought back.

"And you didn't know what it ws until now.  So are you willing to give our relationship a try?"

"It's against the rules Mr. King. We can't."

"We can.  We're getting married regardless, remember."

I gave him a small smile. "Right."

"Sooo???" He asked, nudging me a little, making me giggle....giggle? I never giggle!!

"I guess I have no choice."

"Nope."  He answered, with a cheeky smile.

I didn't know what else to say...this was awkward enough for me...admitting I actually love him and all.

"Hey.  I think you've served enough time in detention for today. Let's go home." He suggested.

"Ok." I agreed.  I tried to get up, but Mr. King pulled me back and into a very passionate kiss. After a few minutes, we both pulled away, out of breath.  He pressed his forehead against mine.

"I love you Scar."

"I love you too Jeff." I replied still trying to catch my breath.

"You called me Jeff." He stated, proudly and surprised.

"Like you said.  Friends are on a first name basis...but I think that rule apllies to us as well."

"You mean more than friends?"

"I mean soon-to-be married." I answered, only to have him kiss me again but even longer and more passionate.  Wow...This is love.  I'm in love!!! I'm actually happy for once...I don't feel the least depressed now.  Is it weird that I feel like I'm the luckiest girl in the world?

We both pulled away again. "We should get out of here before someone sees us." He suggested.

I agreed and we quickly got out of there and drove straight home.  Jeff impatiently pulled me into the house and into our room...yes, OUR room.  I figure that if we're going to get married, I should get used to staying in a room with him...but I just decided this so don't judge.  Jeff pushed me gently onto the bed and started to undress me, all while giving me little kisses.  He unzipped my dress and that's when I came back into reality.

"Jeff, stop." I said breathlessly. He did as I told him, which I respected greatly.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

'I'm not ready for this...not yet." I admitted.  If I'm ever going to have s*x, I'm not going to until I'm married.  I wanted to remain a virgin until then.  I gave him an apologetic look.

"It's fine, Scar." He said, getting off me.  I sat up and he wrapped me in his arms and pulled me close to him. "We don't have to do anything until you want to."  Jeff kissed the top of my head.

I looked at him graciously. "You know you're just making me fall even more in love with you." I stated.

"Good." He said happily, and then gave me a peck on the lips. "I hate having you ACT like you hate me.  As long as you're happy Scar, I'm happy."
