Strictly Forbidden (Student/teacher relationship)

Chapter Eight: Strawberries

Walking in we saw Jessica nowhere in sight. As Daniel dropped my bags into a guest room I wondered off to the kitchen to get a fruit or something but instead I found something else, don't worry though I still saw the fruit, it just wasn't alone.

There on the counter was Jessica sitting in nothing but a bra with her legs crossed and her red hair gorgeously flowing over her top area that was almost not there and her red lipstick heavy, with whipped cream and strawberries next to her,

"Oh hell no! I did not sign up for this shit! Daniel get you ass in here now! I yelled at the top of my lungs.

Seconds later Jessica screamed and tried covering herself. What was she trying to cover, who knows. She was undeniably gorgeous and people like her are what made me self conscious but I kept being reminded by the buzzing in my back pocket, that twelve thousand people think I'm beautiful. And I'm one of them.

Daniel came running in with his jaw dropped and I already knew what he was thinking.

"Oh for heavens sake! Cover her!" I screamed covering my eyes.

I heard Jessica let out what sounded like an evil laugh before asking, "What are you covering your eyes for sweety? Embarrassed that you don't look like this? This is what a grown women looks like."

"Jess!" Daniel scolded her.

"No, she's right. What am I covering my eyes for? There's nothing to see." I laughed to myself before continuing, "Sure you're curvy but apes have bigger boobs than you."

I turned towards Daniel who stood there covering his girl.

"And you are out of your mind if you think I'm actually gonna sleep in the same house as that..thing."

"Luna.."

"No. This-" I motioned to the whole counter and then back to them, "This is disgusting and I can't believe what I would've walked in on if I would've walked home from Volleyball Practice. I- I can't."

I walked out through the back door and into the cold once again without a jacket. I sat on the back step he had admiring the view of the sunset and the sun glimmering on what was left of the snow before I felt some big thing on my shoulders.

"What the-"

Daniel placed a blanket over my shoulders before taking a seat next to me. "I thought you would be cold." He whispered.

"This is a really pretty view, hopefully it gets that image out of my head." I laughed awkwardly avoiding eye contact.

"My view's better."

Since I'm slow, it took me a few seconds to understand what he meant. And when I did, you best believe I was a human tomato.

He hung his arm over my shoulder bringing me closer to him, the warmth of his body immediately making me forget I was ever cold. But of course me being the person I am, I looked up.

Again,

Up into those emerald green eyes where I could just melt.

And before I knew it his hand came around behind my head and our foreheads are touching. I knew it was wrong, but like every other bad girl, I can't stay away from the bad things.

He got up from the steps then held out his hand to help me inside.

I followed him inside but before I could even drop the blanket I was pushed against the door. Unexpectedly Daniel's hand traveled to my hip holding me in place. I inhaled sharply as I was held against his perfectly chiseled chest, why is he so perfect? I put my hand on it trying to pushing him away from me but it didn't work. Our breathing quickened at the same time before he began nuzzling my neck with small kisses so faint, they were whispers. I instantly got goosebumps all over. I kept telling myself this was wrong, his girlfriend was somewhere in the house and could walk in any second but I couldn't. My limp body began trembling uncontrollably as she looked at him with his head angled slightly so our lips were centimeters apart.

"She went for a jog,," He whispered against my lips.

Hesitantly, I looked up at him again and I almost instantly saw the emotions.

Lust and desire.

Before I could look deeper into his eyes, he yanked me to him and covered my mouth with his in a hungry kiss. It wasn't the first time we've kissed but it felt like I was walking on air, and an entire zoo had been released in my stomach. The way his lips connected with mine, it was pure magic. The warmth of his mouth and the caress of his lips, way softer than I had imagined. It wasn't long before his grip tightened an he crushed my body against his, it was gentle but firm. He slanted his head deepening the kiss and I knew I should pull away, but I just- I couldn't.

Eventually we both had to breathe so we both ended up pulling away at the same time but we didn't move we stood there trying to catch our breath with our foreheads touching.

Suddenly we heard the front door swing open so I ran over to the stool and sat down picking up the chinese menu pretending to read it while Daniel walked over to the fridge and pretended to look inside. When we heard her making her way down the stairs we began a fake conversation.

"So what do you feel like eating tonight Luna?"

"The question is..what do you feel like eating tonight Daniel?" I asked back raising an eyebrow at Jessica in the doorway clearly listening.

He chuckled but walked up to the stool next to me before taking the menu out of my hand. He leaned in close making it go unnoticed by Jessica before whispering, "Tu." (You),

My eyes automatically went wide and my expression must've been priceless because of the way he laughed after. Jessica scoffed and went towards the fridge to get the stuff she needs for salad.

"Actually, I'm cooking tonight remember babe?" She asked battering her eyelashes at Daniel.

Barf.

Pretty sure I just threw up in my mouth.

"Yeah.. I'll pass. Have fun eating grass.. I'm gonna go stuff my face with pork fried rice while watching Lilo and Stitch." I slowly slid off the counter giving them a fake smile.

I looked to Daniel who sat there and looked like he was looking foward to eating greasy food and not grass with other stuff. Don't get me wrong, I love me a salad once in a while, but from what I saw the other night at Casa Mia's she clearly has an obsession and it isn't healthy.

"Here at least take a twenty so when they come."

Come, yeah you could've make her "come" but this stupid red hillbilly is here.

Hey weird tiny person in my head?

Yeah?

Go away.

"I have money, I'm good." I walked out the kitchen and went into my temporary room where I ordered my food, put my phone to charge and searched for my pills.

I grabbed a water bottle from my bag and swallowed down my two pills. Around fifteen minutes later of me just sitting there doing absolutely nothing staring at the ceiling the doorbell rang,

"Food!" I ran out the room and straight to the door only when I opened it, it was not the food guy.

"Larson?"
