Forever

Chapter 35

He's silent for a moment "Rose just tell me, you know I'll get you something anyways" he says squeezing my thigh and once again I hit his hand playfully

"No don't, Marcus you have already done a lot for me, I don't want you to do anything else" I ask hoping he won't argue

"No"

"Marcus you already paid off the debt me and my mother were in, let's just call that" I pause holding his hand "an early birthday present" I say nodding

"No that was to help, so you and your mother wouldn't have to stress about it, now this is your birthday so tell me what you want" he says

"No I don't want anything" I argue, he already spent plenty of money on me

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes"

"Marcus since you can't read my mind, or so you claim, I'll tell you, you can't win with me and you're not getting me anything" I say

"We'll see" he smirks

"Ugh" I say throwing my hands up "You're too stubborn"

"I guess my girlfriends rubbed off on me" he reaches for my hand and intertwined our fingers

Him saying girlfriend make my heart flutter "ha ha so funny" I joke and roll my eyes

"I try" he shrugs keeping his eyes on the road, I stick my tongue out at him and he laughs

We drive for twenty more minutes doing small talk and playfully teasing each other.

I sigh "I wish we didn't have to go all the way out of town so we weren't seen" I sigh again

For some reason this weekend almost made me forget he was my teacher and I was still his student. Being all alone together at my house and his it just felt like we were the only people on earth. But when we step outside we have to worry about everything else "I know it's hard but it won't matter when the years over and I don't mind the long drives if it mean staying with you" he says

"I suppose, it's just every time we go out I get scared we'll get caught and if we do then you might get fired, I might get expelled, you could go to jail and-" I begin

"I know but don't worry ok? just relax no one from class should go so far out of town" he assures me

"I wish you weren't a teacher, then no one would care" I frown

"That is true but if I didn't take that teaching job I would have never met you, so I'm thankful I did" he says smiling, holding my hand a little tighter. His eyes glaze over like he's thinking back on a memory.

Before I can agree my phone starts to ring, I dig it out of my pocket and Jades picture pops up, and I slid to answer "hello?"

"Hey! How are you!" She screams and I pull the phone away from my ear

"I'm fine thanks" I laugh at her outrageous tone

"So you know about-?" She asks

"If your talking about my teacher boyfriend being a vampires yes I know" I chuckle
