The Forbidden Bite

Chapter 11: Humiliation Is Not Flattering

"Jack, Jack, JACK,"  Richard was waving his hand in front of my face for the second time in one day.  I kept thinking about science class, and how much Daniel teased me.  Now it's lunch time and me and Richard are sitting at the same corner table that we have sat it for the past four years.  I kept thinking about the chills that ran up my entire body underneath his touch.  I was also upset that he humiliated me in science class even though I was the only one who knew what he was doing. 

"I wanted to talk to you about why you and Daniel are all of a sudden best friends,"  He raised his left eyebrow at me as he picked up a piece of broccoli. 

"We aren't best friends, you can't just going around saying things like that.  You know I would never talk to him, my dad would kill me.  Plus I don't hang out with people like him,"  That last part almost killed me.  I wanted to defend him and his personality but we both agreed that our relationship needs to be private.  I have to put up a good show for Richard right now.  I really pray that Richard will forgive me if that secret gets out.

"Then why would you sit by him in science?"  He questioned me.  I was starting to lose my patience slowly but surely.  I don't need to be interrogated right now.

"Stop asking me questions alright.  Your my best friend not my parents, I'm not friends with Daniel,"  I snapped at him and grabbed my lunch try, then dumped it in the trash.  I saw Daniel sitting alone at another table and I gestured him to come follow me.  He stood up and I went walking down the hallway and went into the janitor's closet.  The same one that we had our first kiss in.  He walked in and kissed me lightly, I didn't give him a reaction because I was still upset with him.

"What?"  He asked me and frowned in confusion.

"You humiliated me in science,"  I answered in a monotone voice.

"Are we already having a fight?"  He laughed out loud.  I didn't think it was funny.

"Humiliation isn't flattering,"  I answered flatly.

"I'm sorry Jack.  I just wanted to have some fun and joke around with you.  I forget that we have a lot of differences and that you have an opposite personality then me.  I'll be more careful next time,"  He said, and gave me puppy dog eyes.

"Alright, your forgiven,"  I said and stepped closer to him.

"I bet I could do something else that would flatter you,"  He said and smirked at me.  He leaned in and starting kissing me and it was much more heated.  I grabbed the front of his jacket because I couldn't pull him any closer to my body.  The kiss was very rough unlike the other kisses we have shared, and I loved it.  He moved down to my jaw and then down my neck.  He started biting and nibbling on a spot that made a groan come out of my lips.  I was instantly humiliated by it, but at the same time I didn't care.  He was like my own personal heroin that I couldn't get enough of.  My knees started to go weak as his hands traveled under my shirt, and this whole time I was blushing like crazy.  He finally leaned back and we both were gasping for breath.  I stared into his midnight black eyes, and smirked.

"I guess we have to get back to class,"  He said still panting.

"Yeah,"  I answered and I was still speechless.  I realized I still was grasping on to his shirt.   I let go and felt very embarrassed.  Daniel just smirked and left the janitor's closet.  I stood there in amazement and bliss.  I was sweating so much, I finally caught my breathe and headed to my locker.  I felt my lips and realized they were probably swollen.  That was intense.  We hadn't even had out first date yet, but we were already making out.  Some people would consider it slutty or "to fast" but we were both comfortable with it.  I loved the way he made me feel, far more then I wanted to admit.  I was still in bliss as I was grabbing my Spanish book, when I felt a presence standing next to me.

"I'm sorry Richard,"  I said because I knew it was him without even looking that way.

"Your forgiven,"  He said.  "I'm sorry for questioning you so much at lunch, that wasn't my place to pry."

"It's fine, I just don't want people thinking that me and Daniel are hanging out in any way,"  I saw Daniel standing across the hall with folded arms.  He gave me a thumbs up.  I smiled, until Richard interrupted out interaction.

"What's that on your neck?"  He asked as he tried to move my jacket.  I looked into the small mirror that was hung up on the inside of my locker.  I realized that Daniel gave me a hickey, and I gasped.  I had to think of a lie, a quick one.

"My mom was curling her hair this morning and she swung the curling iron by accident and it hit my neck,"  I nearly died inside, that was the worst lie.  It also came out of my mouth much faster then I preferred.

"Ok,"  He said in a voice where I knew he didn't believe me.  The bell rang and I headed to class, the whole rest of the day nothing exciting happened.  It was filled with me and Daniel sitting by each other and him giving me flirty looks, while I was trying to avoid his gaze.  I did focus better in school because I really want to graduate, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do after that.  As I'm sitting in the last class of the day, and biology is grueling so I don't understand why it is last.  I feel my phone buzz in my pocket, and I realize I got a text from Daniel.

"What's up cutie?"  I smiled while hiding my phone under my desk.

"How did you get my number, Daniel?"  I really was curious.

"I have my ways.  Meet me at Memorial Park after school."

"Okay,"  I said, I would deal with my father's wrath later.  I heard the bell ring and left as soon as possible.  I was looking forward to this date, maybe.  I know we have a date Saturday but this feels like a date.  

"Where are you going so fast?"  I heard Richard jogging to catch up to me.

"Home,"  I answered quickly.

"Wow, I have never seen you wanting to go home so fast,"  He answered.  "Let's go back to my house and play video games,"  I'm the worst best friend on the planet.

"No I can't, I got in a fight with my father and he said I'm grounded,"  I didn't particularly lie, he never said the word grounded but he did say he wanted to know where I was going.  So I guess I did lie. 

"Oh ok, see you later,"  He waved and waved back.  I was going to have to ask my dad to borrow the car since Memorial Park is about 40 minutes away.  Which was brilliant that way people wouldn't recognize us.  I make it home and I have to act nice and cool, so my dad will let me have the car.  I go inside and my dad is sitting in the dining room, drinking a glass of wine.

"Hey dad, where is mom and Kennedy?"  I asked shakily.

"They went to Toys R Us to get Kennedy a toy,"  He answered without looking me in the eye.

"Can I borrow your car?" 

"No,"  He didn't even think twice.

"Please I need to go to Memorial Park."

"Why do you need to go all the way over there?"  He asked.

"I need to go meet a study group for a couple hours."

"Why are you guys going all the way over there?"

"We have to study nature in a park and we didn't want to match up with other people in the class so we chose that park,"  I was kind of impressed with my skillful lying at this point.

"Fine, be back by 7:00,"  He said and I was so excited.  I grabbed the car and started driving over there.  My skin was tingling with anticipation of what might happen.
