Hidden lust

Chapter 24

She picked me up and we sat silently in the car. I had no idea where we were going but couldn't help thinking this was the last time I would come out with her. She saw me sighing and reached over to take my hand, I held it with all I had not wanting to let go for a second. When she had to change gears, we did it together.

She pulled up outside a restaurant and we went inside. Taeyeon first looked around to make sure there was nobody we knew in here and then we got ourselves a table. Soon after we ordered our drinks and our food, we were then left in silence.

"Why did you bring me here?" I asked sipping my coke.

"Can't I take you out?" She smiled

"Teachers don't take their students out Taeyeon" I sighed, that was all we were.

"Who said you're just a student to me?"

"That's all you want to be right?" I said spitefully.

 She was about to answer but the waitress came back with our food, interrupting. I thanked her and she flashed me a wink which somebody wasn't happy with.

"No" Taeyeon said simply after the waitress had left.

"Huh?"

"I don't want to be just your teacher Tiffany"

"You want to be a friend...." I sighed

"I want you."

I looked up, god this woman was confusing. Mixed signals much?

"But you said...."

"I've never said that I just wanted to be your friend. I want to be with you but because of our predicament it's hard Tiff. I know you want a relationship where we can just hold hands and kiss and be carefree....but that's not going to happen. That's not practical until you leave school, but...."

"But?"

"But..I would like to continue seeing you out of school, you could think of us as dating but not in an official relationship. You're mine and I'm yours and the rules of a relationship still apply - no cheating...."

"You really think I would cheat on you?" I asked in disbelief

She stayed quiet, probably thinking of how I saved Nichkhun from expulsion by what I said before.

"I would never do that Taeyeon"

"I thought about what you said before....about either being with you or stop seeing you." She said, changing the subject. "I really want to be with you in whatever way I can so I wanted to get you something that symbolised that you were mine and I was yours without it being obvious. You could show the world that you are more or less taken without anyone getting suspicious" 

I opened my mouth to talk, but lost my words when she brought out two boxes.

"Bracelet or necklace?" She asked

"You got couple items?" I asked confused. She nodded and urged me to choose. "Um, necklace" 

She smiled and gave me one of the boxes while she opened her own. I watched hers come out of the box and it was like a sort of charm bracelet with different small charms but a slightly larger padlock. The other charms were a key, a heart, stuff like that. Everything was encrusted in small jewels and looked so beautiful.

I then opened mine and saw a necklace with a jewel encrusted key on the end of it and a tiny padlock at the clasp.

"Okay so these are a bit complicated." She said, confusing me yet again. "Your big key fits my big lock" 

"Okay....what's complicated about that?" I chuckled.

"Well.... only your key unlocks the padlock on my bracelet so once it's locked I can't get it off without you."

"What like a handcuff?" I joked, she chuckled and shook her head.

"I think it looks a little better than a handcuff right?" I nodded my head to agree with her. "Yours has a little padlock too at the clasp so you won't be able to get yours off either without my..." She held up one of the smaller charms. "little key."

I couldn't help but break into a smile, it really was sweet of her and such an original idea as well. 

"So, do you want to wear it?" 

"Yes" I smiled. "Can you please put it on me?" 

She got up, looked around the restaurant and then quickly held the necklace around my neck, locking the padlock with a click.

"That means you're mine" she whispered seductively and I couldn't help the jolt that went to my core and the wetness that ensued, she sat back down and smiled at my new necklace.

I grabbed her bracelet and did the same, locking it onto her wrist. "And you're mine" I whispered back.

Now I was happy. I knew this is all I would get in regards to a proper relationship until I left school but with this necklace, I was hers and she was mine and I could show it off to the world.

"Thank you" I said

"No problem sweetie"

"And I just wanna say I'm sorry about....y'know. I can promise you he knows it's over and he will leave me alone" 

She smiled and nodded her head but the smile soon dissapeared. "If he hurts you. I will not hesitate to report him to the police, do you understand me?"

"Yes, I understand."

"Good, now eat your food, it's not safe to stay out too long plus you've got your dad coming back later right?"

"Oh shit, yeah!" I gobbled my food down as fast as I could. 

When the bill came, she said she'd pay for all of it which I thought wasn't fair but she did it anyway. She gave me a cheeky wink when the waitress was charging her credit card and I rolled my eyes in response but thanked her when we were on the way back to mine.

As we approached I saw my dad's car in the driveway and so I told her to park further up the road so he wouldn't see her. I gave her a peck on the lips after looking around and then got out of her car. She smiled and waved before I disappeared into my house.
