Love Isn't Always A Fairy Tale {Teacher/Student Romance}

Chapter 14- Falling...For Him

I glare at my mom when she walks in. She looks surprised when she sees Ethan. Well Ethan and me standing close anyways. She looks between us a couple of times, and then gets a mischievous grin on her face. I shudder inside. I can only imagine what she is thinking, and she is so wrong. Well not entirely wrong. Oh god I almost kissed my teacher. I shake my head and look at Ethan. He gives me a –what- look. I don’t tell him anything I just look at my mom, and she opens her mouth. Here it comes.

“Hey honey, Ethan, I didn’t interrupt anything did I?” My mom asks, and I face palm myself shaking my head. I knew that was coming. I look at my mom who is looking at me beaming. Does she want me to get with Ethan? I would love to be able to read minds right about now. To know what the hell my mom is thinking. I glance at Ethan who is looking at me a little shocked. Not quite knowing how to take my mom.

I look at him and smile and shake my head again. He sees my look and calms down a little. I now turn my attention to my mom. I put my hands on my hips and I give her a pointed expression.

“No mom you didn’t interrupt anything. We were just talking.” I tell her lying just a little. Okay so maybe just a lot, but the least she knows the better. If she knew she could either push it trying to get us together, or go the opposite way and try to get him fired. I don’t really know which would be worse.

You think I’m kidding, but I’m not. When my mom is on a mission she is crazy!! You should have seen her when me and Dylan broke up. When she found out he hit me, I thought she was going to kill him. She probably would have too if Gage hadn’t already beat her too it. I smile at that memory. My mom’s voice brings me out of memory lane.

“Oh, well then, I was just going to tell you that me and your dad are heading back to the house.”

“Okay, mom, I will be on the way in a little while.”

“Oh, Darling no need to rush. Oh, but before I do forget I got a meeting out of town I have to go to tomorrow, and your dad is going with me.” I frown for a moment looking at her. Tomorrow was Saturday. That was our trail riding day.

You see every Saturday me, my mom, and my dad would go biking on trails down from our house. See we have these small “mountains” down from our neighborhood, and we used to just hike them until we found out biking was more fun. It has been a tradition since I was like 5. We hardly ever missed it. I don’t like missing it.

“Damn,” I start and Ethan looks at me shocked I smile, “It’s trail day though.” I tell my mom. Now Ethan’s look turns from shocked to confused. Eh, it happens around me a lot. You get used to it. (No seriously it does lol) My mom looks down and sighs. Yeah she hates missing it too.

“I know Sweetie, and I’m sorry, but it was either go today or next week, and we definitely didn’t want to have to go next week.” I sigh knowing she’s right. Still sucks though.

“Yeah I know. Sucks to not get to go riding though.” I tell her looking down.

“I know,” She tells me then looks at Ethan. Uh oh is she fixing to do what I think she is? “Ethan, honey you don’t happen to mountain bike ride do you?” She asks, and I shoot her death glares. He looks from me to her that confused look growing more and more. His gaze finally rests on my mom.

“Actually, I do although I haven’t been able to ride since I moved here.” He says, and I stare at him. Seriously? Why? I look at my mom willing her with my mind to not say what I know she is going to say. Please, mom please. I know it’s not going to work, but I can hope right? She opens her mouth, and I prepare myself.

“Really, that’s fantastic isn’t it Sky?” My mom asks, and I feel Ethan’s eyes on me. I look up at him, and he is looking at me intently.

“Yeah that’s just great.” I reply, not very enthusiastically I might add. My mom didn’t seem to notice.
