Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)

Chapter 34: Persuasion Skill 

EMMA's POV :

"I can't believe school's starting again tomorrow," I said through the kiss.

Our tongues were mingling and dancing with one another.

His taste was intoxicating.

"Time sure flies when you're having fun,"he murmured.

lan was dropping me off at my house.

He parked several houses down and we ended up making out as I was kissing him goodbye.

I knew I had to get home, but I just couldn't resist his delicious kisses.

With school starting again soon, who knows when I'd get the chance to kiss him like this again? Come to think of it, this summer went by in just a blink of an eye.

It was already our last night before school starts again, so it was only natural that I wanted to spend all the time I had left with lan.

We weren't doing much today.We just drove around town listening to music, drinking large sodas, and munching on French fries from the diner.

He was holding my hand the entire time, caressing my skin with his thumb.I could live for small romantic acts like these.I still got butterflies every time he touched me or looked at me with that gaze.

Spending time with lan was the highlight of my summer.

Even though there was an age gap between us, I didn’t feel like it affect our chemistry.

Whenever we hung out, things would just click and the chemistry would be flowing.

Be it making out or talking about books and movies, I was always thoroughly entertained by his company.I could only hope he felt the same way.

"I have to get back,"I tried to break off our kiss when I noticed the time, but lan was persistent.

He started kissing that sweet spot on my neck, and I was a goner.He knew he was leaving marks all over, but he didn't care.

"Mm-hm,"his soft lips coaxed me again into submission.

I couldn't let go and I ran my fingers around his hair instead.

"I promised my mom I won't be home late.You're gonna get me in trouble,"

I said again while returning his kiss, shamelessly. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Baby girl, you are trouble,"he chuckled when he finally pulled away. I couldn't help but smile.

We were already parked out here for the last thirty minutes.

Could you believe that? We were making out for thirty minutes! I didn’t feel like going in and saying goodbye to him, so I was the one that started the kiss.And I had the audacity to blame him for it.

Oh, sue me.

"Why can’t summer last forever?"I sighed.

"Hey,"he picked up my chin with his hand and said, "Just one more year,"

That's right.Just one more year of stupid high school and we can finally be together.

I would be off to college and he would be right there with me.

We'll leave this stupid town behind and start over.We'll be together without restrictions and no one would judge us.

"I can't wait,"smiling brightly, I gave him one last kiss before pulling away abruptly, purposefully leaving him wanting for more.

"What a tease,"he chuckled.

"See you at school, Mr.Hayes,"

I bit my bottom lip seductively and gave him a naughty wink.

"Damn girl, just kill me why don’t you?"he laughed to himself as I opened the car door and stepped out.

Still Keeping up with my newfound confidence, I gave him one last smirk before turning for the door.

He put his hand over his chest and pretended to have a heart attack, causing me to break character and laugh as I walked to my door.

It was almost 11 PM, my parents were usually in bed by 10.

I sneaked inside quietly as to not make too much noise.

I even took my shoes off as I climbed the stairs, making sure I was as stealth as possible.

When I made it to my bedroom, I let out a relieved sigh, thinking that I made it safe and sound.

"Where have you been?"

Right as I turned a corner, I spotted mom sitting on the chair in the corner of my room.

"Mom!"I squeaked.

"You said you'd be home by 10.It's a school night Emma,"she continued.

"I know I'm sorry...Tiff and I were watching a movie..."

"I saw the car parked a few houses down.That's not Tiff's car.Or Carrie's,"she said quickly and my stomach fell to the floor.

Oh shit.I am so busted!

"Emma, is there something you want to tell me?"she stood up and stalked closer, watching my face intently like a hawk.

Her eyes landed on the hickey marks on my neck and my hand quickly went up to cover them.

"Mom..."I started to speak, but I couldn't finish it.

Think of an excuse, quick! "Are you seeing someone?"she said again.

I gulped.

She knew.

It was no use trying to lie to my mom.

She would figure me out in a heartbeat.

I took a deep breath and let out a defeated sigh.

She was still waiting for an answer, so I just nodded my head slowly.

"Who?"

"Just a guy...at school,"

Technically, that wasn't a lie.

"So you're completely over Zach?"

"Yeah,"I breathed.

Mom and dad knew of my relationship with Zach.

We did date for a full year before he went to college.

I never told them exactly what happened that caused the breakup.

I said it was because of the long distance and they believed me.

I didn’t want to say too much because I was afraid I'd leave details that would point to lan.

So throughout the year, I never talked to my mom about my love life.

I let her assume that I was happy being single.

But of course, sooner or later, mom always finds out."That's good.It’s about time you get over him.You know, I never liked that boy,"she said again.

Mom could be scary and serious when she wanted to, but honestly she was my best friend apart from Tiff and Carrie.

Normally I would tell her everything.

But ever since this whole thing lan started, I had to step back on the honesty.

"So, tell me about this new guy.No wonder you've been so busy all summer,"she sat down on the bed and motioned for me to follow suit.

"He’s just a guy...there’s not much to tell,"

I grabbed a random scarf hanging on my dresser and quickly draped it over my neck before sitting down next to her.

"Okay, you don’t wanna talk boys with your mom, I got it,"she winked, "But if you ever need to talk, you know you can always talk to me,"

"I know.Thanks mom,"

She stood up and she was about to leave, but she stopped her tracks suddenly and said, "Oh, and Emma,"

"Yeah?"

"I was wondering, is it maybe time that we should have...the talk?"

A little too late for that, mom.

"Mom, I don't need the talk,"I dismissed it quickly.

"I know, I know, it's a touchy topic.

But hey, you're still a young girl and I just want you to be careful, okay?" "Lam..."

"So you are...active?"

"Please don't say active,"I rolled my eyes immediately.

"You're using protection, right?"

"Mom!"

"Just answer me that and I can go to sleep peacefully.

Otherwise I’m gonna stay up all night and keep pestering you,"

I took a deep breath and sighed, "Yes, we used protection,"

"Condoms and pills?"

"Just condoms, mom, can we please go to sleep now? Like you said, I have school tomorrow,"

I really didn’t feel like having this conversation.

Now and ever.

Mom rummaged through her pocket and pulled out a pack of something that resembled birth control pills.

"Emma, honey.I picked this up at the clinic earlier.Remember to take one every day and if you ran out, you can tell me or you can go to the clinic yourself,"

"Mom!"I squeaked.

"Condoms are not a hundred percent effective.Sometimes they broke.It's best if you combine both methods of birth control "

"Mother, please!"I groaned in embarrassment,

"I got this under control, so please don’t worry about me.And if I need anything, I'll come to you.I promise,"

She just looked at me and let out a deep sigh.

"Okay then,"she said finally, "Take this anyway, just in case,"

"Sure,"

I mumbled and took the pack from her.

"Oh, and Emma, it’s best not to mention any of this around your father.You know how he can get,"mom said as she stopped by the doorstep.

"Yeah, mom, noted,"

My dad can be a little too overprotective of me sometimes.

Especially when it came to boys.

It was always best not to mention too many details of my love life to him.

"Good night sweetheart,"mom smiled sweetly.

"Good night, mom,"

After she left the room, I threw the birth control pack inside my bedside drawer and closed it shut.

lan and I were always careful.

He always wore a condom.

I didn’t feel the need for extra precautions. What I do need is to find a killer outfit for the first day of school tomorrow.

I made my way over to my closet and started raiding it furiously.

With lan back as a teacher, there was something to look forward to at school.

I picked up this cute high waist plaid short skirts and a black fitted top to match.

The top hugged my chest beautifully and the skirt was super short, borderline skimpy.

Still, it hugged my curves in all the right places so that was an A++.

This outfit was the definition of dressed to kill.

I was smiling to myself, thinking of what lan would do when he sees me in this tomorrow.

I knew it was evil, but hey, I’m just a girl.

And a girl in love can do some very crazy things.
