Loving To The Touch

chapter 21

"So word has gotten around that you and Ryan are a couple." Elliot teased poking my in the sides making me laugh because it tickled.

"Stop, that tickles." I squealed for Elliot to stop tickling me.

"Okay, but I thought you guys didn't want anyone to know about you two." He said just a tad bit confused.

"We didn't, but we may have been holding hands and he almost kissed me after first period." I said turning from my locker and smiling like a giddy school girl, which I am.

"What do you mean. Almost kissed!?" Elliot questioned leaning against the lockers and gesturing me to go on.

"Well he was just being a tease and trying to get my mind off the whole Mr. Smith and my mom situation. By the way Smith gave us detention and told me I hope we used protection last night." I said totally getting riled up again and slamming my locker shut.

"Hey what's with all the slamming over here." Gental arms wrapped around me and a head rested its self on top mine.

When I looked up and saw Ryan I smiled at him and rubbed his arm lovingly.

"She's a little riled over the whole teacher parent relationship thing." Elliot said giving Ryan a weird look.

"And what is that look supposed to mean? You better not be getting feelings for this guy" I asked narrowing my eyes at Elliot.

In response Elliot gave me a descused expressions," I am the straightest guy you will ever meat.

I yelped when my feet were literally swept off the ground and Ryan began running down the hall with me on his shoulder gaining many weird looks from ongoing students.

"Ryan!" I shouted as he removed me from his shoulder and held me upsidedown.

When I was flipped back over I was greeted by all the other guys and an arm around my waist holding me close as we walked in the lunchroom.

"You guys are to much. I think I liked it better when you were secret." Todd commented as he sat down at our usual table with his lunch.

"I think they suit each other." Kade said nodding his head approvingly at us.

I looked up at Ryan with loving eyes to have the gesture returned.

"Its too cheesy." Todd admitted as he stuffed a spoonful of mashed potatoes in his mouth.

"Your just jealous at the fact you can only pull off one-night-stands." Ryan stated as he wrapped his arm around my waist pulling me closer.

"Hey, for your information a one-night-stand is one of the hardest relationships pull off." Todd defended.

"And how would that be?" Elliot questioned looking ready to become a sponge and sock all Todd lady tips.

I looked at Elliot disprovingly not wanting him to become a Todd.

"The first thing is getting the right lady, and then you have to make your experience enjoyable so that means pulling off all kinds of positions, not to mention how to leave when you're done." Todd said with much pride.

"Hey, how's that Mia friend of your doing?" Kade said changing the subject randomly.

"She's doing great from what I remember the other night. High spirits as always. It was mainly me dishing out my problems then her dishing out hers." I said now feeling a bit embarrassed that I actually just went over to her house to get drunk.

"Well, where's she at? I haven't seen her in school." Kade said meeting my eyes with an emotion that I couldn't quite read.

"Does Kade have a crush on Mia?" Name teased making kissy noises.
