Fighting history (Threequel to 'Lucky 13')

Chapter 17: Our connection

Emily's POV

"I had a lot of fun tonight," Miss Keller said as she parked her car at my house. She turned off the engine and looked at me. "What's wrong? You haven't looked at me since we arrived at the look-out."

I looked outside more, I simply wasn't in the mood to talk. I had this huge conflict going on inside me: I really liked her but I really hated what she said about my people.

"Emily," She put her hand onto my leg, immediately gaining my attention as this was a first. She seemed to realize her action and pulled her hand away. "Please talk to me," She looked upset then. "I'm sorry if I did something wrong."

And despite her hateful words, I couldn't stay angry at her. I couldn't hate her for what she said. I simply wanted to enjoy being with her. "It's alright."

"Ok," She didn't seem convinced. She looked away, sighing. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yeah," I took my backpack from the backseat and opened the car door. "Goodnight, Miss."

"Jennifer," She said, making me stop in my tracks and look at her. "Call me Jennifer."

I looked back to the front door, seeing uncle Benjamin look at me as he was ordered to watch out for me when I was near the property. I looked back at Jennifer. "Stay here," I then closed the car door and walked to uncle Ben. "Hey."

"Who's that?" He motioned to the car.

"She's with me," I dropped my backpack at his feet. "A potential."

He raised his eyebrows. "Already?"

I nodded. "I'm going to spend some time with her, can you inform mom and zaezzes?"

"Em," Uncle Benjamin held my arm. "Are you sure about this? Aren't you too young?"

"Maybe," I looked at the car again and noticed Jennifer look at us. "But I like her," I looked at uncle Benjamin again. "I want to start serving my people."

He smiled a bit then. "Ok," He took the backpack and placed it inside his post. "Enjoy." He said as I walked toward the car again.

I rolled my eyes before entering the car. "Hey," I said as I fastened my seatbelt again. "I'm ready."

"Ready?" She looked so confused then, it was kind of cute to see. "What for?"

"For our night out," I leaned in closer, holding her face in my hands while I planted my lips onto hers. She immediately responded back and kissed me back while wrapping her arms around me as best as she could. It was clear she wanted this just as much as me. I pulled back a bit, leaving a bit of space between our lips. "Let's go." I then leaned back in my chair.

Jennifer seemed to take a moment to regain her composure before starting the engine and driving off. "Where are we going?" She finally asked.

"Anywhere you want."

She looked away, blushing yet again. "I don't know..." She looked around the dark environment, as if signs would magically tell her where to go. "I have no idea where to..." She looked at me, all shy and worried. "Where do we go?"

"How about a hotel?" I said, teasing her.

She gulped loudly. "A h-hotel?"

I smirked, enjoying the effect I had on her. Zaezzes was right, potentials are fun to play around with. "Yes, or do you prefer to spend the night in your car?"

She stopped the car violently then, she looked at me in horror. "S-spend the n-night?" She gulped yet again. "Are we... Spending the n-night together?"

I smirked more then. "Well yeah," I placed my hand onto her leg, immediately feeling how tense she was. "Wouldn't you like that?"

She gulped once more. "Well, I... I don't... I wouldn't know..." She let out a huge breath before looking away. "I didn't know..."

"But you'd like that, wouldn't you?"

She looked at me again. "Isn't it too early?"

I shrugged.

"I'll just drive back and drop you off at home." She reached for her keys to start the engine again but I stopped her.

"I don't want to go back home," I leaned in closer, to her ear. "I want to be with you," I then kissed around her ear, making her release soft moans. "I want to be very close to you." I kissed my way down to her neck. For a split second, I imagine drinking blood from her. How would that be?

Jennifer was moaning softly as she made room for me to discover her neck. Her hands were gripping the steering wheel tightly as her breathing intensified.

I was leaning almost over her, unbuttoning and discovering more and more of her beautiful body. Though, as I realized this wasn't how I wanted my first time to be, I stopped. I leaned back into my seat and noticed Jennifer needing time to get back to earth.

"Let's go to your place," I stated as I noticed her regaining her composure. "It'll be more fun there."

Jennifer gulped but did so. She drove us to a rather small house in a quiet neighborhood. "We'll have to be quiet," She said as we walked to the front door. "I don't want my roommates to wake up."

I raised my eyebrows. "Roommates?"

She didn't explain further, instead, she guided me straight to her room. I didn't even have the time to look around the house, she literally pushed me to her room.

She closed and locked the door to her room, and let out a relieved sigh. "Here you go," She motioned to the rather tiny room. "My room."

I looked around while taking off my jacket and shoes. "Is this where you live?"

"No, I live in the house but I do share it with my roommates," She went to sit down on the bed. "This is mine only."

"I see," I sat down next to her, on her bed. Then I stopped. I suddenly realized I was in my guidance counselor's house, in her room, and on her bed. We moved fast! I guess those are the perks of having potentials... "So, where were we?"

Jennifer instantly got red. "I... Uhm..." She looked away. "Perhaps we could first watch something?"

I raised my eyebrows. "You need some help to get you into the right mood?" I teased.

"No," Jennifer looked down, getting more nervous as time went on. "I meant..." She looked away. "I don't know..."

I reached for her face and pulled her lips to mine. "It's alright," I said in between kisses. "We won't do anything you don't feel comfortable with."

She smiled at me then, a genuine smile. She nodded and laid down with me. "Perhaps we can kiss and sleep together tonight."

"And try the next step tomorrow?" I winked at her, showing her I was clearly joking.

"Maybe..." She blushed a bit before caressing my face. She leaned in closer, kissing me passionately.

I wrapped my arms around her and enjoyed the connection between me and my Number 2 potential, which only seemed to grow.
