Teacher

Chapter 31

Brandon's POV

Nick just told me that the principle doesn't believe carter game me the hickey. Honestly I wouldn't either. I was a little off when talking to Nick. I blamed it on the fact that I didn't want her to find out about us dating. But that isn't what is bothering me.

When him and I started dating, I wanted to know his intentions. Why is he choosing to date someone so young?  Why is he choosing to date his student and risk his career? And I just figured it out. Thrill.

He doesn't know if he's going to get caught  he doesn't know how long we will last. So he is constantly on adrenaline high from wondering what is going to happen next. He is constantly wondering what card is going to be payed out next to change the whole deck. He is dating me for the Thrill.

I am pulled out of my thoughts when I get text from Carter asking everyone to come over. I accept because he seemed a little frantic. I get in my car and drive. I dint think about Nick. I think about nothing honestly. I just drive.

I knock on the door and I am met with a crying Carter. His eyes are bloodshot red and his cheeks are stained with tears. He pulls me into the house and shuts the door awfully quick.  I pull him into a hug and et him cry on my shoulder. Sometimes that is all you need, a shoulder to cry on. I rub his back for comfort and soon enough he composes himself to talk to me.

"My mom found out about the whole hickey thing. I want out to her Brandon. I WASN'T OUT TO HER AND NOW SHE DOESN'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME!"  He says slowly sliding down the wall bringing his face in between his knees. I sit in front of him and pull his face up to look at me.

"She isn't a good mother if she doesn't accept you. She doesn't deserve you as a son," I say looking his straight in the eyes.

"You're only here so I don't tell your secret. I understand. You don't care about me," he says. His voice gets softer with each word.

"Carter, you're y best friend. No amounts of secrets will change that. Don't worry about your mom. The way she reacted made her not worth your time," I say brushing a tear off his face like Nick does when I feel sad.

What happened next was something I was not planning on taking part of. He grabs my face and pulls me into a kiss. And I don't pull back. He lowers his knees and I straddle his lap.  He licks my lips asking for entrance and I comply. I open my mouth and we both explore each others mouths. When I a finally am brought to my senses, I pull away and stand up.

"I-I didn't mean that. I'm sorry Carter  I am just stressed and and I - I don't kn-," Carter then cuts me off.

"It's fine. I did it not you. I can back you up with Nick if you need it," Carter says looking concerned.

"No I will. I gotta go," I say grabbing my keys and walking to my car. I get in and drive home.

Thrill. Did I just kiss Carter for the thrill? Is that how Nick feels? Like he's on a high? Wait, did I just loose him?
