Bruises and scars. (Teacher/student love story)

49 Bruises and Scars.

SATURDAY

May the 21st.

Two weeks before graduation I'm curled up against Holden in bed, I've practically already moved in by this point. My parents are okay with me sleeping over his house as long as I'm home at least three nights a week, which is okay with Holden and I.

I sigh and snuggle closer, "This is so nice."

His hand brushes through my hair, "What is?"

I smile, "This."

He laughs, "Laying down? We just woke up and haven't even made love yet."

He kisses the top of my head and I laugh, "I know, but it's nice."

"We do this every morning."

"I know, and it's nice every morning."

He laughs again, "You're weird."

I laugh with him and kiss the closest part of him which happens to be his shoulder.

I'm not lying when I say it's been nice, there's no pressure, there's no fear, and there's no injuries. I was happy when I was with Alex, and I was happy when I was sort of with Holden, but right now I'm in heaven.

Holden leans over and kisses the side of my neck making me giggle, "That tickled."

"Good." He mumbles as he pulls me closer. I laugh and put my hands on his chest to push him away, but he just wraps his arms around my waist holding me in place.

"It tickles!" I squeal as he continues.

I try to squirm away and then there's a knock on the door. "I got it." I say giving him a hard shove.

He pouts and reaches his arms out for me, "Come back!"

But I'm already off the bed and out the bedroom door.

I open the door in one of Holdens shirts that go down to my mid thigh. The man standing on the other side does a very slow sweep of my outfit, and then the parts of me it doesn't cover.

I clear my throat, "Is that for me?" I point to the package in the UPS guys hand.

He throws me a grin and I figure he's probably mid twenties. He looks at his clipboard and then frowns, "Holden Blake?"

I feel a pair of arms wrap around my waist and I scream as I get turned and placed down. Holden takes the package from the UPS guy and quickly signs. I smile looking at his back, and enjoy the fact that he's only in boxers.

I look around his arm, "What is it?"

He laughs, "It's for you, go into the bedroom and I'll give it to you."

I grab it from his hands and run away with it, "Thanks!" Holden says to the UPS guy before slamming the door and running after me.

"Scarlete wait!"

I run down the halls and into the bedroom as his arms wrap around my waist. I scream and then I go flying on the bed.

I laugh as he climbs on top of me and grabs the package, "Alright look I need you to open it sitting down so I can explain."

I raise an eyebrow and then shrug, "Okay."

He shakes his head, "You were going to get it right now anyways, so I don't know why you ran with it."

I kiss him right before he climbs off of me, "For fun."

He laughs and hands me the package, "Here."

I sit on the edge of the bed and rip off the tape, I grin and open the box quickly. I tilt my head to the side as I pull out a cheerleading uniform, "What's this?"
