Passionate Fate

Chapter Seven

"Um." Was the only thing that could come out of my mouth so I pretended to look for something while Ric regained his composure and went back to introducing himself. I felt so bad for him, even though everyone had stared at me. "Anyway. Welcome to History Through the Years. I'm Mr. Saltzman."

The rest of class was pretty awkward. I stayed extremely quiet the entire time since I was trying not to draw anymore attention to myself. Ric walked over to my desk while we were working on a worksheet. "Can I talk to you after class?" He whispered, I nodded while my head consumed me with negative thoughts. He hates you. He never wants to talk to you again. You slut. Fuck you, Violet. Tears filled my eyes so I silently cried until class was over. I told Sarah and Elijah that I would catch up with them. "Violet?" Ric closed the door and walked towards me. Here it comes. I looked up at him, wiping the tears off my cheeks. He knelt beside me and without saying a word, he kissed me.

I was in shock, I thought he was mad at me and yet I still kissed him back. He picked me up as the kiss continued. I wrapped my legs around him and ran my fingers his hair while he had his hands under my butt. He moved so I was up against a wall, the kiss reassured everything. Ha! Take that, Brain. He does still like me.  The kiss lasted several more minutes, leaving both of us speechless. "I..I.." I stuttered. "I love you Violet. I couldn't stop thinking about you this weekend." I blushed, he had actually said it. He loved me. "I love you too, Ric."

Somehow by sheer luck, my free block was Ric's planning period. "I was so worried during class." I confessed as we ate our lunch. "How come?" He asked mid-bite. "Well for starters, you're my teacher and I'm your student. " He set his lunch down and knelt beside me so he could look me in the eyes. "I know. That's why we have to be extremely careful. I love you Vi and I won't let anything jeopardize this." He kissed my forehead, making me feel better. "You have no idea how much that means to me." Ric smiled, his hand was on my upper thigh. "I'm always gonna to love you Violet. I don't care what anyone else says, as long as I have you."
