Secrets

Chapter 9

We walked out of his classroom and I didn't see anyone in the hall. I guess he was right when he said normally everyone is gone within ten minutes of school letting out. He was still holding my hand. It feels right with him holding it. I wouldn't want anyone else to be holding it right now. I never had this feeling before when anyone else either. We walked out of the building then out to his car. We walked over to a black BMW. I'm actually kind of surprised. I didn't know teachers have nice cars like this. I looked around and I didn't really see anyone. I saw a couple people across the parking lot. I know they cant tell who we are anyway. Well at least not who I am. I guess that's why Louis is still holding my hand. We got to his car and he opened the door for me. I smiled, "Thank you."

He smiled, "It's no problem, love."

I looked down again. I like it when he says that. It makes me feel a little better about myself. He can probably tell because I look down every time he says things like that. Louis got in and asked, "Is pizza okay with you?"

I nodded, "Yeah. It's my favorite food."

He smiled again, "Me too. If that was all I could eat for the rest of my life I wouldn't be upset about it."

I giggled as he reached over, grabbing my hand again. I smiled to myself. I think it's so sweet that he's being like this. He's so unlike some of the guys that have tried to date me. They were so rude and all they wanted was sex. They never got anything out of me. I'm not like every other girl around here. The only nice guy was this guy named Sam but he could be hard to deal with at times. We dated for about 6 months till he moved. I haven't heard from him since. I don't even know where he moved to. He told me but it wasn't important enough to remember. I just haven't really dated anyone since him either. Well except for a few dates here and there but nothing other than that. I surprised myself by agreeing to go out with Louis or even thinking about it. Louis interrupted my thoughts, "I was going to to tell you this earlier but I think you look beautiful today. Well I think you do everyday."

I smiled and started blushing again, "Thank you."

"Your welcome."

"You're actually one of the first guys to say that to me."

I looked over at him and he looked a little surprised, "Really?"

"Yeah. Other guys were just jerks that only wanted one thing."

He shook his head, "Why were those guys around you then? You deserve to be told that you're beautiful everyday."

I smiled. I couldn't help it. Before I could say anything else I saw him turning into the parking lot of a nice pizza place. I've never been here before. My parents don't normally like going out for pizza. They normally only want to go to really nice restaurants. I'm happy Louis brought me here though. I'm sure no one we know will be here. It can just be us without having to worry about getting caught.

 We got out of his car and he reached over, intertwining our fingers again. He kissed my cheek before we walked inside. I smiled again. I still can't believe that all this is happening still. I'm happy that it is. I just never expected it all to actually happen. We walked inside and he asked for a table in the back. We walked to the back of the restaurant and sat down at a booth. He sat across from me when we ordered our drinks. When the waitress walked away Louis smiled, "I was hoping I could get to know better."

"Well I hope we both get to know each other since you plan on seeing me again."

He chuckled as the waitress walked back over with our drinks. She took our order before walking away. Louis asked, "What do you want to know about me?"

"Well I don't even know how old you are. I know you're the youngest teacher at school though."

"Well I'm 21. I graduated from college a bit early. I don't know your age either."
