Secret Relationship: An Aphmau AU

10. We Need to Talk

A/N: This chapter might contain a little lemon. Also, should I start dedicating chapters to people? :)

The moment I reached home, I jumped on my bed and lay there, staring straight at the ceiling for five good minutes.

I can't believe it. Aaron, of all people, had to be the new teacher.

Yeah, I know. He did told me he was gonna be a Science teacher. He didn't tell me where or why.

And I was secretly jealous of everybody calling him 'hot', 'cute', 'daddy' etcetera. Aaron is all of those but he belongs to me. I just had to understand that he has true romantic feelings towards me and nobody else but me.

Just then, my phone chimed. I picked up my phone and took some pillows, leaning them against the bedframe. I rested my back on the pillows, hugging the wolf plushie.

"Meet me at my house at 6. We need to talk."

I threw my phone onto the bed in frustration and watched the phone fly up in the air before landing on the soft mattress.

This is my first 'real' relationship. I couldn't bear to lose it now. We've only been dating for two weeks and it's helped me so much.

'We need to talk" doesn't seem like a good phrase in relationships either. Everytime in TV shows, 'we need to talk' somehow always leads to the end of a relationship. Unless they figure things out, which rarely happens.

I took off my clothes and jumped in the shower, feeling the warm water run down my body. The water was nice and relaxing. I wish I could stay in here forever and forget all the problems I have in reality.

I wrapped my long black hair with my towel and used another to cover my body. I shivered as I stepped out  of the bathroom. Science, I thought, rolling my eyes at the thought of school, especially Science.

I changed into a white graphic tee with 'New York' printed on the front in capital letters and some black leggings. Before going to Aaron's, I put on a hoodie over my shirt and put the hood up to cover my face.

I picked up a particular stone from the flower pot beside his house and as expected, there was a spare key taped under the stone.

Removing the tape, I inserted the key and twisted. The door gave in and I stepped inside, closing and locking the door after me.

I put my hood back down, putting the key into the right pocket of my hoodie. I ran up the steps two at a time and pushed open the door to Aaron's bedroom. He was already sitting on his bed, waiting for me to arrive. He briefly looked up and patted the space beside him.

I took a seat and couldn't help but start weeping. Aaron wrapped his warm muscular arm around my shoulders, pulling me into his embrace. I buried my face into his chest and he let me cry for a while before pulling me away. We stared into each other's eyes.

Aaron's usual black sparkly eyes lost it's spark and was replaced with a tinge of sorrow and unhappiness. It made me feel like crying all over again, seeing him this sad.

"We'll work this out, Aph. I hope we will."

I nodded, using the back of my sleeve to dab at my tears.

"It's just a year. After that, we can start dating normally again." I said.

He nodded and lay down on the bed. I scooted beside him, putting my head on his chest. We lay side by side on the bed, staring into blank space quietly.

"Why didn't you tell me you were gonna work at my school?" I asked, breaking the silence.

Aaron turned his head towards me and frowned.

"You never told me you were studying there."

I sighed and turned to face him too.

"I wish you worked somewhere else." I whispered, cupping his face in my hands.

"I want to resign for you. But the contract I signed said I had to work for at least 3 months. It wasn't a problem until now." He gave me a weak smile and leaned in to kiss my forehead. He rubbed my back up and down slowly.

"Don't. I don't want to trouble you. Plus, that just means I can see you more, right?" I let out an awkward laugh at my pathetic attempt to lighten the situation. Aaron forced himself to smile too.

Aaron leaned in for another kiss, this time, on the lips. I opened my mouth and he automatically deepened the kiss. I felt his hands make its way down my back and onto my butt. He gave it a light squeeze and I jumped a little, causing him to giggle into the kiss.

"Cute." Aaron said.

My cheeks turn red and he laughed again. We continued kissing and soon, both of our tops were off. Aaron was just about to unbuckle my bra strap when he stopped. He pushed me away, threw his top on and handed me my shirt.

"Why?"

"You're still a minor, Aph. I don't think we're ready for it." Aaron said, shaking his head.

I understood. Without saying a word, I put on my shirt and hoodie and went out of his house. I remembered to stick the key back onto the stone and placed it back into the flower pot.

Putting my hood up, I silently sobbed while walking back to my home. Why was I even crying? There was nothing to be sad about. I slapped myself as I entered my house.

I crashed on my bed face-first and cried into the pillow while whispering to myself in my head.

It'll be fine. It'll be fine. It'll be fine.
