Meant to be; A SoKeefe fan fiction

Chapter 5

Sophie POV:
"We need to talk kiddo" Grady said, walking out of my room with Edaline following and ushering for me to follow. I gulped and hesitantly followed them to the kitchen. I saw a fresh batch of mallowmelt on the table but I knew better than to take any. "Sit" Grady sat on the other side of the table. I sat in the chair across from him and Edaline walked over to Grady's chair and stood beside him with a hand on the back of his chair.

"Just get it over with" I said sighing nervously.
"Alright, so I know you are 15 and this may be that age where you start to have crushes and feelings. Grady said feelings like saying it would kill him and he grimaced afterwards. Edaline rolled her eyes.

"What your father is trying to say is your body is going through changes and that might affect your feelings ."

"Yeah...?" I didn't really see how she was going with this

"Just be careful and make sure you're safe. " She said. I wondered how she managed to keep her face straight. I felt my face heating up and my eyes widened.

"MOM!" I covered my face with both of my hands

The next day at Foxfire

When I got there, I wasn't upset about my breakup with Fitz anymore. I was more excited to see Keefe. The day went by fairly quickly, and soon enough it was lunch. I wasn't surprised to see that Keefe was already sitting there. When he saw me, he waved and gave me his usual smirk, but had a tint of blush on his cheeks. I blushed and sat across from him. I saw Fitz and glared at him but made sure not to seem sad, just angry. Keefe mirrored my look.

He shrugged and went back to eating. I kind of felt hurt that he didn't care, but I had Keefe. Keefe seemed to notice, because he caught my eye and mouthed he doesn't deserve you. I smiled. What both of us didn't realize, was that our friends were staring at us in confusion
"Did... something happen between you two?" Biana asked, pointing at Keefe and I. Keefe's cheeks looked as red as mine felt
"NO" Keefe and I both said a little too quickly. We looked at each other and then instantly looked away, unable to meet each other's eyes. Biana and Linh just smirked at each other. Dex stared at Keefe and me and Tam went on eating his lunch looking unfazed.

I stared off in space and finished my lunch in silence. When the bell chimed the end of the period I got up all too quickly and made my way to my next class. While I was walking, Principle Leto came up to Sandor and me and pulled us into an empty classroom. There was a reported sighting of a black figure near the alchemy window, Sandor would you mind checking it out.

"Was it the Neverseen?!" I exclaimed suddenly nervous.

"We're not sure, but that's why I need Sandor to go check it out."

Sandor nodded reluctantly, "but what about Sophie?"

"She's perfectly safe here" Principal Leto said.
"Sandor lets out his squeaky sigh and nodded, "I'll go check it out."

"Thank You." Principle Leto replied gratefully. "And Sophie you better be off to class now." He added.

I nodded and started walking, just then the bell chimed the beginning of session.
"Damn it" I mutter under my breath.

Just as I near my class I feel a hand on my shoulder.
I let out a squeal and hear Keefe's voice behind me," Jumpy much?"

I spin around and let out a relieved sigh. "What's wrong" he asked me?

"Nothing" I said, not wanting to worry him.
He grabs my hand and starts leading me toward the nearest bathroom. "Keefe I have to go to class" I say, getting flustered because I think I know what he wants to do.

"Who cares about class?" he says smirking.
I try to glare at him but end up smiling. He pulles me toward the bathroom door and I followed him laughing slightly. He pulled me into the bathroom and locked the door and before I can even drop my stuff his lips are on mine. I drop my bag on the ground and kiss him back.

Our kiss becomes more urgent and harder and he wraps his arms around my back and I lock my legs around his back as he places me on the sink. I run my hands through his hair and we kiss for what seems like hours more but is probably only 10 minutes. Finally we part for air and his cheeks look flushed and his hair is puffy and tangled.

I laugh and say, "You should fix your hair."
He smiles back and leans in and kisses me again. His lips against mine fill me with pure bliss and feel like I could go run 20 miles without getting tired. His hands wander to my cape and he unbuckles it. Then he fingers the buttons on my tunic and pluckes one open.
I put my hand on his to stop it and say, "I don't want to go too fast."

He nods without even a bit of hurt in his eyes and offers me his hand to help me off the sink. I do the button back up on my tunic and then pull on my cloak and grab my things.
Before we leave I look up at Keefe and say,"Thank you for always being there for me."
He smiled at me, "of course Foster." Then he kissed me softly on the cheek and led me out the door.
