“Sure.” I said elatedly. “Wait, wouldn’t people see us out together?”
“So?”
“You’re my teacher, remember?”
“Oh right, that. We’ll go out of town.”
“You would go through all of that trouble?”
“I think you’re awesome like that, you’re worth the trouble.” He walked up to me and wrapped his arms around my waist. I looked up at his very beautiful face. A very beautiful face that wants me? What the what? I’m so confused and excited and oh my God! Jake is into me? Me? How is this even remotely possible?
“And school?” I gulped, barely audible.
“Fuck ‘em, only we know.” He winked at me.
“Banks is a wise girl.” I chuckled at his reference to one of Banks’ songs.
“Indeed.” He kissed me hard. “What time should I pick you up?” He whispered against my lips. What the fuck, this is really happening!
“Eight’s cool.” I said as calmly and coolly as possible.
“Great. WhatsApp me the address.”
“I will.” I pecked him on the lips and he walked me down to the car. “See you later.” I replied in the most dazed state ever. I revved the engine, backed out of the drive way and was back up the road on my way home. My face completely blank and then it hit. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuckity Fuck Fuck Fuck! What. The. Fuck!!!!! Oh my Fuck, what the fuck! Holy shit balls, man, what the fuck? Yep, those were my thoughts. They were happy thoughts though!
As I continued up the road, I kept thinking about Jake and the series of events, feeling giddy as ever. To top that all off, I was going home to get ready for an actual date. Fuck! Wining and dining. Really, I could not have been more thrilled in my life. Holy Fuck!
A barrage of thoughts consumed me – Heath! I forgot about Heath, how could I? Oh Fuck! Wait, wait, wait, Jake made me completely forget about Heath with just a few hours in? The Fuck? I don’t know how to deal with this. I still am in love with Heath, but that moment with Jake was so intense. I need to get it together. Having an internal love triangle is a big no-no!
I pulled up at the house and saw Caroline sitting in the porch. As I walked up the porch steps, I heard Heath coming towards the door.
“Ah, Reese, you made it?” He acclaimed.
“Yup, told you I would.” I placed the car keys in his hand. He then looked at me with his apprehensive look. Suspicion on his face. A playful smirk spread across his lips as his eyes stared at my slightly swollen lips. I sucked them in.
“You and Mr. Cavanaugh were really at it today, eh? You’ve been gone all day.”
“Ha, sorry. Yeah, we lost track of time. But we got a lot accomplished.” You slut! I smirked knowing damn well that all we got accomplished was getting each other horny as hell.
“Nice.”
“He said we gotta practice the kissing ourselves.” Heath laughed and Caroline’s eyes nearly popped out of her head.
“Kiss?” She interrupted.
“Oh, Caroline, I didn’t tell you? Reesie and I have some minor lip action in the film.”
“Good to know.” She murmured with a constipated look. I wanted to die just watching the expression on her face.
“Okay Pieces, we’re gone. You gonna be okay tonight?” Heath asked.
“Yep, don’t worry. I’ll be just fine.” Fine indeed!
Heath and Caroline left and I went to get ready. I shaved, washed my hair, and curled it, put on some subtle yet effective makeup and the hottest fitted dress I could find. I WhatsApped Jake the address to my apartment and waited for him to arrive.
Eventually, I heard a honk outside and I got my clutch, put on my heels and was out the door. There he was standing outside of a black, heavily tinted Escalade. He radiated an air of quiet confidence, but I detected no arrogance in his demeanour. The single breasted grey suit was tailored to precisely match the contours of his body, giving him a lithesome appearance; yet there was nothing effeminate in his bearing.
When I was within his reach he took hold of
