Apple Love Book 3 ✔

We didn't get caught. But we both had to redo our mini pies. Our class not only needed a video but also the product. This time we worked and tried not to pay attention to each other unless we needed help. Well more if I needed help. We did this early in the morning too before classes started. I'll admit I was pretty tired most of the day but eventually was awake enough to function better. After classes Chuck wanted to go to the mall- probably to look at guys. But I came along with him to look around for a part-time job.

"So what happened yesterday?" Chuck asked as we walked through the mall side by side.

"What do you mean?" I ask as we make a turn into a clothes store with him walking more ahead eyes on the cashier.

"Um hold on," he said a smirk spreading onto his face and I shook my head as he walked up to the cashier slightly taller than him.

The cashier with short curly light brown eyes glances at Chuck giving him a bright welcoming smile. He turns to me giving me the same and says welcome to this store to both of us. Then he turns back to Chuck who starts talking. Not sure what he's saying but I know it must be flirty. I looked away from the two looking at the winter clothes on a mannequin. I brushed my fingers over the material of the coat. It was a bit thinner since the cold would happen less as we got closer to March or April. Eventually, I heard rushed footsteps turning around I saw Chuck running over to me.

"Got his number?" I asked rolling my eyes but he yanked my arm pulling me out of the store. "O-Ow, hey!" I pulled my arm away huffing.

"He's straight and taken," Chuck grumbled glancing around the mall I guess looking for our next stop.

"Oh, not surprised," I said and he shot me a dirty look.

"My skills always work on people. But I didn't know he was straight or taken." he huffed walking towards a pretzel place and I followed rolling my eyes.

"You never know you just do," I said as we got in line.

"Whatever, anyway back to my question of before. What happened yesterday?" he asked pulling out his wallet then up at the lit up menu.

Events flooded to my brain of yesterday. I shivered slightly as my body tingled. It was like I was in the moment all over again. I was knocked out of it by being shoved forward. I shot Chuck a glare while my face burned as he gave me a questioning look.

"I'm waiting," he said and I sighed looking at the menu myself, interested in the pigs in blankets.

"Well um, some sexual tension happened," I said quickly as we moved up in the line only being two people away from being able to order.

"Wait, seriously?" he asked grabbing my shoulders looking me directly in the eyes and I looked away nodding. "Oh my gosh Tay, you have tell me allllll about it," he said letting go and I blinked.

"Um, why?" I asked completely confused.

"Well duh, I'm your best friend," he said and I rolled my eyes.

"So, I don't have to tell you nothing more if I don't want to. Plus we didn't go far anyway." I huffed turning away as we moved up in the line again.

"Well, I would tell you if I had my first time," he grumbled.

"I will tell you too, just maybe not tell you all about it." I huffed again as we stepped up and we both ordered.

Back at our dorm room, I was video chatting dad (Cadee). I had no work really to do today but I did need to study which I did on the way back home. After calling dad for a bit I would study some more. Chuck had plans tonight and I wasn't going to join him this time.

"Dad I think you worry too much," I said smiling as I watched him put away dishes.

"I do, your my last little one in school," he said turning to smile at me and I huffed.

"I'm not so little anymore dad. And with this program I'm doing I shouldn't be in school for too much longer. I'll have to take summer classes though maybe. It all depends on the program or programs I go in." I say as his smile grew.

"I'm so proud of you. I'm so proud of all of you. All of my children are in great careers. Well, you're going on a great career path." he said sighing as he looked down looking a bit sad.

"What's wrong?" I asked frowning.

"It's just well I kind of gave up my dream to be a father. Kind of my own fault I guess." he sighed again and put up more dishes.

"Aw...dad." I frowned more.

"Just promise me to continue your dreams. So I would like if you wait to have a child," he said softly and I nodded biting my lip.

"Um, dad...speaking of children-"

"You got someone pregnant? You're pregnant?!" he pointed an accusing finger at me and I huffed as my cheeks got hot.

"I um no but I do maybe want to... I don't know." I let out a sigh looking down to avoid seeing his reaction and he was quiet for a moment.

"Honey..look you I..I can't force you to do what I want. I just want the best for you. If you want to have... sex," he said and I covered my face with a pillow as my face burned. "It's your choice. Just you both should have protection I suggest if you can. Just be safe and if you get into a situation you know that I am here for you. But your choices will be your responsibility in the end. Remember that." he said as I peeked from the pillow to look at him as he smiled softly. "And I love you."

"You better not be having sex!!!!!" I heard in the background and covered my face once again.

"I agree!" I heard Chuck yell from the restroom making me roll my eyes huffing.

Almost thought I wouldn't finish this before today! I'm trying to write ahead to worry less. Probably will try to do this when I decide to publish new books, whenever that will be. But it will happen! Well, I hope you all enjoyed the chapter!
