Haunting Me (A Completed Steamy, Romance)EDITING

Part 9

Hudson

I heard her knock, and I had to laugh as I opened my window.

"You can use the door."  I said.

"That takes away from the excitement." She said, as she pulled herself inside.

"They know you're here." I crossed my arms.

"Hi, Mom!" She greeted.

"Hi, Joey sweetie.  The door works much better than the window." My mom was standing in the doorway.

My girl and my mom have grown to be good friends.

"This is more fun." She said.

Damn, she's perky tonight.

"You two know the rules." Mom smiled as she shut the door.

"Come here, you." I pulled her in and kissed her.  We've been dating for months now, and to be honest, we make one hell of a couple.  She's a good friend that makes me laugh, but drives me insane.  She's also still a virgin.

"Joey!" My sister interrupts us. 

"Dammit, Chloe, go away." I'm annoyed.

"No, she's my friend too, so shut your cocksucker." Chloe snapped.

"Chloe!  That's not how any young lady should talk." My girl says.

"Well, thank God I'm not a lady."

Ugh, they high fived.

"How did you do on that test?" Joey asked Chloe.

"Great, thanks to you." They went on and talked, so I just laid back on my bed with my football and ignored them.

Finally, the little demon left the room, and my girl climbed on top of me.  "Awe, are you neglected?"  She asked.

"Yeah," I answered. 

"We can't be having that, Mr., Take our team to state." She said.

"He really needs some attention," I said, while she straddled me and we entertained our fingers, and I pushed my very hard and neglected member against her.

"Well, I'll take care of that." She leaned in and kissed me.  Holy shit, I'm still not over the way she feels.

"I can't wait to touch you," I whispered, as she started kissing my neck.

"I know, this isn't easy for me either."  She said.

We decided to wait until the perfect time before we went very far.  I want her bad, but I know the first time for a girl can be painful, so I'm actually nervous about it when the time is right.

She lifted back up and looked down at me.  "He knows about you." She said.

"Your dad?"

"Yeah, and he wants to meet you, but it worries me.  He might just try to scare you off."

"I'm not going anywhere." I assured her.

"Promise?"  She asked.

"Yes."

"No matter what, you won't walk away?" She sounded concerned.

"Of course not, what's going on?"  I asked.

"We need to talk, and what I have to say is going to piss you off."  She said.

"Did he hurt you?"  I asked.

She sighed.  "My father has never laid a hand on me, I promise."

"Then what is it?"

"You need to know something, and I should have told you a long time ago, but you will likely never want to see me again. It won't be long, and it won't be a secret much longer, and I want you to hear it from me first. I'm so scared you're going to hate me."  She said.

"Joey, what happened?"  I asked.

Now I'm nervous.

"This has to do with our future.  Do you ever think of where you want us to be in five years?"  She asked.

"Yeah, we would be together and graduating college," I answered.

"Do you ever imagine us married?"  She asked.

"Woah, I'm not even eighteen yet." She's gone crazy again.

"Not now, silly.  Sometime in our future."

"Yeah, all the time, but not for a really long time." I needed to stress that, seriously.

"My future isn't very bright, Hudson. I won't be going to college, or planning some exciting career.  My future is already decided."  She said.

Her family shit is so weird.

"You have to know this before you meet my father."  She said.

"Just spit it out, Joey."

"I'm a business deal to him.  He promised me to a guy who is graduating college this year.  I've been engaged to this guy since I was twelve, and my father is making me marry him just a few weeks after graduation." Sbe said.

What the actual fuck?

"You're joking right now." I snapped.

"I wish I was, Hudson.  He already forces me to attend events as this guys fiance, he's not giving me a choice." She said.

"What do you mean you don't have a choice?" I stood up and stared down at her.

"I haven't seen my mom since I was seven.  He said he will bring her home if I marry him. I don't know where she went, but he said her life depends on it."  She said.

"You're not marrying some other guy, even if I have to beat him to the altar."  I told her exactly what I'm thinking.

She shook her head.  "It's either you or my mom."

"I'm calling my father, arranged marriages aren't legal."  I said.

"Yes they are, Hudson.  They are when he's not physically forcing my signature on the marriage license." She said.

"How is blackmailing you not forcing you?"  I asked.

"The law won't know that part." She added.  "I need to know my mom is okay."

"Why wouldn't she be okay?" I paced.

"The last time I saw her, Dad had her taken away by these awful men.  She screamed and cried for me, and begged my father not to send her away.  That night has haunted me forever, and that's why I demanded my dad let me work and buy my own car.  I needed to learn how to take care of myself if I decided to run away, but I've decided to stay.  My mother is worth my sacrifices."  She said.

"What about us?  What were you going to do, break it off right before you ran away with some man?" I'm pissed, to say the least.

"No, I'm telling you now, because I don't want to hurt you." She looked up at me with the saddest eyes I've ever seen.

"I'll find a way for you to get out of this, Joey.  I'll ask Dad for help." I tried to assure her that I will not give her up.

"Then you're taking my mom away forever." She wiped away a tear.

"We've got well over a year to figure it out.  Is that why you've been fine not going all the way?" I sat down next to her.

"Yes, but no.  The guy is ridiculous, and I hate him. He doesn't deserve my virginity.  I don't want him to have what I want to give you, but I'm just scared he will tell my father."  She said.

"You're damn right he won't be taking that from you.  I'll figure it out, but for now, lets just not worry ourselves sick about it."

I seriously doubt this will ever happen.
