Beautiful Secrets

Seduction - Landen

"Calm down guys it could just be someone from the party who we asked or Lia's brother messing with us." Cassie says clearly drunk.

"Am I not the only one who thinks that some freaky shit is about to go down? Lia might be hurt. We might get hurt. For all we know the police could be on there way for us right now."

Everyone looks blankly at me after saying this.

"So what do we do?" Andrea says taking back her phone rereading over the message.

"I'll drive us back to Lia's and we can all go back home after." Hunter says.

"Who could it be? I mean honestly."

Andrea says what we were all thinking.

"What do we do just go to school like nothing happened? Do we stop looking for her? What if the police get involved? What do we say?"

None of us know the answer.

"Do you want me to spend the night with you?" Hunter says softly to Andrea. She nods.

"Just fuck already." I mouth to Cassie, she slightly laughs in agreement, as they pull up to my house.

I get out and walk in to the house.

"Landen, is that you?" My mom called from the kitchen, before I have a chance to answer she starts talking again.

"We got food for you if you still want it."

"Thanks mom." I say heading upstairs to take a shower. At this point all I could think to do is try to forget about everything that had happened. As I'm eating the cold fries I text Hunter to see how Andrea is, he doesn't reply.

I don't think anyone is going to be able to give me a ride tomorrow.

...

"Mom can I borrow your car?" I ask running into the kitchen.

She's too busy making breakfast to say anything so, I take it as a yes and grab her keys.

I get in her car. Driving to school. Going to my locker. None of it felt right, it was all like some weird Groundhog Day or something.

I erase all the thoughts from mind and head into my first hour with Mr. Collins, which I was hoping he would make my day feel more normal. Apparently it was my lucky day because he was wearing a pair of skinny slacks that made his butt look good.

...

The bell rings so I force my eyes off him and start to head out.

"Landen can you stay after, I need to talk to you for a bit?"

I turn around to face Mr. Collins, a sexy smirk covering his face. I try my hardest to remain calm.

"Of course, what is it?" I ask taking a step closer.

We're alone now. Just the two of us in this enclosed classroom. Windows covered and door closed.

"I've seen you watching me the past few weeks." He says breaking the silence.

I twitch.

"No, I..." He cuts me off.

"The sideways glances. The lip bites. I see the way you look at me." He says looking me up and down.

I'm speechless with my head spinning, and my heart racing. He walks up to me taking the books out of my hand and setting them on his desk.

"Mr. Collins you're married I can't do this." I say going after my books.

He puts his hands on my chest running his fingers down my body.

"Don't you want to?" He whispers in my ear.

Yes

I breath in collecting myself before I grab him by the collar and pull him into a kiss. Our bodys in sync with each other. He picks me up setting me down on his desk his lips never leaving mine. Suddenly everything that's happened in the past few days leaves my mind, so that I can focus on now.

He breaks away and starts kissing my neck, I close my eyes.
...

As I walk out of his class, confused and dazed I stumble at the door and fall dropping my books everywhere.

I sigh looking around making sure no one saw me but too late because I hear Mr. Collins laughing as the door clicks shut.

"Dammit." I mumble bending over to grab my books. I drop them even before I get them an inch off the ground. A note attached to the front of my binder stares me down making me regret the past twenty minutes.

Let's hope this isn't a secret that you keep like the ones you and Lia had.
Though, I'm not one to kiss and tell.
XOXO
