Broken Ever After (5 page)

“
You are very welcome” he smiled. “So…” He said undoing his belt, twisting in his seat. “Do I get a goodbye kiss?”

“
No… You can have a ‘see you later’ kiss” I smiled as I leaned over to him and he hooked one hand in my hair, planting a soft kiss on my lips. He ran his tongue over my bottom lip like he did before asking to deepen our kiss and our tongues tied together again in their own little dance. We were both breathless by the time we pulled away; he leaned his forehead against mine and sighed.

“
I wish I didn’t have to bring you home”

“
Me too” I smiled sadly at him. “I should go in before…” I trailed off.

“
Before what?” he smirked at me.

“
Before you convince me it’s a good idea to take you with me.”

“
Damn, there goes my next plan then.” My heart was pounding in my chest. I leaned over again to softly press my lips to his once more. Would it be so bad if I asked him to come in for a while? My parents probably wouldn’t be home until close to midnight anyway, or if I just told him to drive us away and never look back? We could just run. I took a deep breath to calm myself.

“
I’ll talk to you later?” I asked as I got out of his car, feeling every inch of growing distance between us.

“
Try and stop me”

I ran inside the house and slammed the front door closed, leaned my back up against the wood and slid to the floor in a daze.
Did I just dream that?
I touched my fingertips to my lips which were still tingling from the feel of Jamie’s pressed against them; I ran my fingers over to behind my ear and down my neck which was still sensitive to touch. I shivered remembering his lips there a little over fifteen minutes ago.

Staring at the phone in my hand I
contemplated messaging him straight away. I looked at the time and saw that it was only just after four-thirty; I’d told him not to contact me before ‘five or six’. I picked myself up from the floor, gathered my bag and art folder and carried them upstairs. I needed to keep busy for thirty minutes. I stowed my art folder in its proper place, tucked down beside my desk, pulled my books and notes out from my bag, placing them neatly on my bookshelf and desk ready to look at later on. I straightened my bed even though I’d already done that in the morning; then headed into the bathroom just for something to pass the time.

I picked up my toothbrush and the toothpaste and looked up into the large mirror over my sink and took in my reflection. My straight hair was slightly dishevelled despite me having tried to flatten it with my fingers before leaving the classroom
, my cheeks were flushed a rosy pink, my lips looked slightly darker and I ran my fingertips over them again wishing Jamie had his pressed to them once more. My eyes were bright and wide, filed with excitement and lust. My heart was still pounding out of my chest; I had to remind myself several times to breathe normally.

I began brushing my teeth
, smiling to myself remembering how Jamie’s tongue had danced around mine; so soft and delicately but with enough force to let me know how much he wanted it. I pressed my legs together, closed my eyes and tried to calm myself. I grabbed my face wash from the shelf, hoping some cold water would calm me a little, but even that wasn’t helping. I ran downstairs to look for something else to do to pass the time; I decided making a sandwich would pass by a few minutes and then eating it of course.

My laptop was in the living room so I went to sit down and began watching an episode of
my favourite show with a cup of tea. I tried to cloud my thoughts with only those of the show but it wasn’t happening, my eyes kept wandering to the clock every few seconds. I still had fifteen minutes before five o’clock; the waiting was killing me. I sighed loudly and really tried to focus on the show. It was five minutes to five and I picked my phone up for probably the hundredth time in the last few minutes and wrote a pretty cheeky message to Jamie.

To Jamie: If I knew detentions went something like that
, I would probably have told you that you are an arse sooner! - O X

My heart was in my chest again while I waited to see if he would reply; I placed my phone down on the coffee table and leaned forward resting my elbows on my knees so I could stare at it. What if he doesn
’t reply for hours? What if he doesn’t reply at all and he was just messing with me. Oh God, I’m such an idiot. My phone bleeped and the screen lit up with his name, making me jump.

From Jamie: Well Miss Stevens
, if I knew detention was like that with you, I would have started handing them out to you sooner! If you called me an arse or not - J X

To Jamie: Should I be a bad girl more often then?
- O X

I laughed to myself imagining the ways I could be his naughty schoolgirl.

From Jamie: Only for me!! I don’t want to be hearing about you landing yourself in detention with any other teachers, I might start getting jealous. I’m already annoyed with Lily for making us need to stop. I really wish that we didn’t have to.

To Jamie: I nearly got detention in English yesterday for daydreaming (about you!) but don
’t worry, I bet Mrs Hastings is nowhere near as good a kisser as you are! X I didn’t want to stop either. I think stopping was the hardest thing I’ve ever done! X

Why did I say that? I scrunched my eyes tight and shook my head. Idiot!

From Jamie: Daydreaming about me? Intrigued! I imagine not, but I’m not up for finding out if I’m honest. You feel free though. Hey, I was wondering… Would you let me take you out one night? X

OH MY GOD! Had he just asked me out on a date? I jumped up from the sofa and squealed
, thanking my stars that no one was home; I could just imagine explaining to my mum and dad that I had a date with one of my teachers.

To Jamie: When? Where?

From Jamie: Any time. It’s up to you, when are you free?

To Jamie: Well everyone is busy revising at the minute
, so I’m free a lot… I’m just not so sure it’s a good idea.

It was
better to wait until I had finished school in three week’s so that I wouldn’t be his student any more. I wanted to go out with him so much, but I’d never forgive myself if a relationship between us caused either of us to get into trouble. I was pretty sure if school found out that he’d be instantly fired and I’d be suspended or permanently expelled; which made me laugh as I had so little time left, but that time was to do my exams which I could not miss.

From Jamie: Why?

To Jamie: Well after I’ve finished exams sure, I won’t be your student any more will I? I just don’t want to risk you or me getting into trouble. You risk being fired if anyone found out what we were doing earlier! And I can’t have that on my conscience. You are too good a teacher for me to let that happen. (Don’t let my inability to understand maths influence your thoughts on that!) Although it was good enough to risk being suspended for, but I can’t miss my exams!

From Jamie: You are right
, despite your lacking maths skills, you are pretty clever! X

To Jamie: WOW
… THANKS! Have you been taking lessons in confidence boosting? They are paying off!

From Jamie: You know what I mean Miss Stevens! So… our date? What are you doing after prom? We could leave early and I could take you to dinner. That
’s if you are going?

I
’d almost forgotten about Prom for a second, oh how I wish that I could go with Jamie.

To Jamie: Yeah I
’m going with Lily, Violet & Megan. We are all staying at Violet’s house on the Friday night, so can’t go out Friday. My ex bf keeps bugging me to go with him, but that is NOT happening! I’m sure Lily will be going with her new bf now and as much as I’m ok with just going with Vi, I can’t stand Megan! So excuse me if I’m not overly enthused with going. We could do something Saturday if you aren’t busy? x

From Jamie: You have to go. If not for Violet to save her from that little witch
, Megan! Then go for me? I won’t get to dance with you, but we can still talk. Saturday sounds great x

That sounded better than not seeing him at all
, I hadn’t actually realised he would be going. I really needed to find the most perfect dress, which meant shopping which I loathed.

To Jamie: I never realised that you would be there. Consider that alone incentive enough for me to go.

I was literally bouncing in my seat with excitement knowing I’d see him there, that meant I could hide away from Megan and just talk to him all evening. I stupidly spilled my hot cup of tea over my lap in a moment of sheer idiocy and had to run upstairs to quickly jump in the shower to get cold water over my legs. I threw my phone which beeped twice as it landed on my bed but I needed to get my skirt off, my legs underneath it were bright red. I quickly showered, rivalling the one I’d had the day before for speed so I could get out to see what Jamie had replied to me. I opened my messages to see one from my dad and a reply from Jamie.

From Dad: Don
’t make us dinner, won’t be home until after midnight. ANOTHER teenager killed in a car crash. You are NEVER learning to drive! LoL and hi from mum x

I rolled my eyes at my dad
’s message which was probably typed out by a nurse as he worked; my dad wasn’t one for putting ‘x’ at the end of his messages and his interpretation of ‘lol’ (lots of love) never failed to make me giggle. I sent a quick reply to tell him I understood and had lots of revision to get through anyway and that I’d just order a pizza once Lily arrived.

From Jamie: Hell yeah I
’m going if you are! I can’t wait. What are you wearing? X

I giggled as I read his message again. I know he meant to prom but I figured I
’d make it a little bit more interesting.

To Jamie: A towel
… I just had a shower. Want to see?

I grinned as I held my towel in front of me in a precarious position
, just covering what needed to be covered, but still revealing enough to be teasing. My hair was dripping wet and tumbled down in soft curls, sending rivulets of water cascading down my body.
Holy shit… what the hell am I doing?
I removed the stupid grin from my face, snapped a picture and loaded it into the message, sending it before I gave myself any more time to realise what a stupid idea it was. Yes… It was probably one of the dumbest things I’d ever done. I paced up and down my room, biting on the pad of my thumb as I waited for his reply.

From Jamie: What are you trying to do to me? I meant for the Prom but if you are just wearing a towel to Prom
, that works for me too.

From Jamie: Oh god!!!

From Jamie: Are you trying to give me a heart attack? I’m on my own here! If I die no one will find me.

From Jamie: I want to take that towel off
of you so badly.

From Jamie: So. Badly.

Maybe it wasn’t such a bad idea after all, I smiled to myself.

To Jamie: All alone like me then? My parents won
’t be home for hours. And I’m not wearing it any more…

From Jamie: I
’m coming over.

No way in hell! There is no way I can let him in! I knew I shouldn
’t have teased him like that. I’m not ready to tell him all about me yet! I quickly went to his number and hit the call button.

“
Hey you, can I co-” Jamie said when he answered but I cut him off before he could say any more.

“
No, you can
NOT
come over!” I said, probably sounding a little more forceful than I had meant to.

“
Liv calm down; I was just kidding.” I breathed a sigh of relief. “I need to go and get a cold shower now though, thank you.” I tried to hold in a giggle and failed! Although the thought of him naked had me trying to stifle a moan at the back of my throat. “You are such a tease.”

“
Aww what are you gonna do? Give me detention again?” I asked him trying my best to sound seductive while crossing my fingers that he’d say yes. He groaned, just as he did in the classroom and it felt like every part of my body was listening to him.

“
I just might, it’s not funny; it hurts, Liv.”

“
I can just imagine my parents faces when I hand them the letter, ‘
Reason for detention: Your daughter gave me a hard on
’ you had better start running now! I’m sorry you’re uncomfortable though… Maybe you should umm… go fix it.”

“
Oh yeah? How do you suggest?” He replied. His voice had lowered making him sound so goddamn sexy; I could feel my insides heating up again. If I could have leaped through the phone right then and devoured him, I would have.

“
Well that’s up to you Mr Matthews, but I need to go get dressed now, I can’t exactly be sat on my bed…
naked
… when Lily comes over in a few minutes can I?” I heard him make that sexy groan again and checked my watch, gah I needed to get off the phone before Lily arrived.

“
You are so not helping matters!”

“
Hmm… I wish I could.” I half whispered to him, embarrassed again at what I had just said that to him.

“
So do I.” He replied again in his sexy low voice, the same tone he used when he was whispering in my ear while he kissed my neck. A shiver ran through my body as we just listened to each other breathing for a few seconds.

“
Hmm… maybe I can help you a little. I’ve got an idea. I need to go now though, I’ll talk to you later?” I ran to my drawers pulling out several pieces of underwear trying to match up a bra with panties. Why did I never keep my drawers organised?

“
Yeah ok, I’ll just… go and have a cold shower I guess” he sounded so sad I almost felt sorry for him.

“
Enjoy… Talk to you later” I hung up and threw my phone down on my pillow while I put on a black and red lace bra with matching panties, I checked myself in the mirror to see how they looked. Perfect. I grabbed my phone and lay down on the bed messing my hair around and snapping a couple of pictures from above, I decided to do a cheeky one and tuck the fingers of my free hand into the top of my panties. Again I questioned my sanity as I hit the send button. I’d never done anything like what I’d done in those couple of hours!
Oh well, too late now. If I’m going to Hell I may as well do it in style.
I held my phone nervously as I waited for his reply.
