I'm awake but I don't open my eyes yet. Whatever I'm laying on is extremely soft and smells like old spice. My head is pounding and I just want to go back to sleep but I shouldn't. I can't. I start to open my eyes when I hear a familiar voice.
"Is she okay?"
Connor.
"Yeah, she should be fine. I don't think he hurt her."
"But did you hurt her, Josh?"
So it's Connor and Josh talking but where am I? This isn't Connors bed.
"Why would you even ask that?"
I can tell they're both mad but I'm not sure why. All I know is that I should say something.
I open my eyes and say,"Connor?"
I hear footsteps then see his face. He smiles then sits beside me.
He moves a piece of hair out of face and says,"How are you feeling?"
"I'm feeling fine. My head is just pounding."
"Yeah, you have a bruise on your check. What happened?"
I let out a sigh then tell him everything that happened. His face tenses up and he looks over at Josh then back at me.
"I guess you're lucky that Josh was there."
"Yeah, I guess so."
"I'm gonna go. Do you want to come with me?"
"Yeah. I probably should get home."
I sit up and finally see where I am. I must be at Josh's house, in his bed. I'm in my teachers bed at his house. This isn't weird at all.
I get off his bed and stand beside Connor. I look at Josh and he's staring at me.
"Can you give us a minute, Connor?"
He nods then walks out the door. I walk over to Josh and sigh.
"Thanks for saving me."
"It's no problem but can I ask you something?"
"Yeah, sure."
"Do you like Connor?"
"Yeah, yeah. I love Connor. He's my best friend. Why do you ask?"
"No, I mean do you like him as more than friends?"
"I've never thought about him in that way."
A hear a car horn and Josh just smiles a little.
"You should go before he gets mad."
"Okay. I'll see you in class, Mr. Hutcherson."
I don't even him time to even say 'I told you to call me Josh'. I just walk out of the room and out of the house to Connors car. I get inside and smile at him. He smiles back and starts driving.
**
It's Monday once again. My classes have went by super slow today but I'm finally in 4th block. I finished my assignment a few minutes ago but Connor hasn't yet so I have no one to talk to. I pull out my phone and start playing a game while I wait on him to finish.
My phone is pulled out of my hands and I look up to see Josh smirking at me.
"No cellphones in class, Ms. Addison."
I groan and he smirks again before walking back to his desk. I watch him as he looks at my phone. I really wish I put a password on it now. His eyes go wide and he looks at me with his mouth open. Connor chuckles beside me. I look at him with a confused look.
"I sent your phone a text that said 'hey baby you ready for me to fuck your brains out after school?"
"Why? Why would you do that?!"
"Maybe if he thinks that we're screwing then he'll lay off."
"I doubt that."
He just smiles and starts drawing again.
Class ends and I start packing my things up. I tell Connor to go on and that I'll call him later. I put my bag on and walk up to Josh's desk.
"Mr. Hutcherson, can I have my phone back?"
He looks up at me then looks back down at my phone.
"I told you to call me Josh and why didn't you tell me that you were screwing my brother?"
"Because I'm not."
"Hm, I see."
"He sent that text hoping you would lay off."
He smiles then stands up. He leans over the desk and says,"Nothing will make me give up."
I back up and stick my hand out.
"Give me my phone."
"Give me a kiss."
"No."
"I guess you won't get your phone back then."
I roll my eyes and try to grab it out of his hands. He smirks and puts it down his pants.
"Give me a kiss and I'll give your phone. Or you could get it now."
"I'm not kissing you again."
"Why?"
"You're my teacher and my best friends brother. That's why."
"So?" he walks over to me then continues," Do you want to kiss me?"
Yes.
"What I want doesn't matter. It's wrong."
"Then why does it feel right when we kiss?"
He leans in and kisses me. I know I should push him away or even pull away. But I don't want to. I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him back.
He pulls away and puts my phone in my pocket. He kisses me on the forehead then says,"You should go."
"Yeah, I should."
Neither one of us moves and he laughs. He grabs my face and kisses me again. I don't even hesitate before kissing back.
Here I am again standing in a classroom, making out with my teacher. I should feel ashamed but I don't. I feel good like everything is amazing.
