Secret Love

Chapter Seven

“Why wouldn’t I go to prison?” he asked.

“Because I'm eighteen I'm a legal adult so you can’t go to jail” I replied and he started laughing and I got even more confused and sat up next to him.

“Why are you laughing? You sound like a crazy person” I asked annoyed.

“I'm laughing because I thought you were seventeen and now I don't feel like a paedophile” he laughed again.

“What” I asked again he probably thinks I'm so dumb, great.

“When you first came into my classroom I thought you were just another girl trying to see me alone but when you turned around I thought you were the most beautiful person ever and you were so surprised when you saw me I thought you were so adorable and then we started talking and I felt like I could talk to you all day and then that stupid girl interrupted us and then I realised remembered that you were my student and I tried to forget about you but you were all I thought about then I found out that you lived next door to me, which just made what I said impossible so I gave up and then when you asked Jacob to be your pretend boyfriend I was jealous and angry that you couldn’t ask me so I thought if I ignored you, you might start hating me which would help me get over you but when I saw you in your room urm I – I thought that you were so beautiful but then I felt like such a paedophile but I couldn’t help but not look, Ari you’re so perfect and when the whole thing with your dad... when you were in the coma and the thought that you might not wake up... I felt every emotion under the sun I swear, I was just so angry with myself I should have told you have I felt but when you woke up I couldn’t bring myself to do it not because of myself but because of you. I didn't want you to get into trouble and ruin your education but I can’t stay away from you anymore.” He finished his speech and I felt tears form in my eyes, I was speechless.

“You really mean that.” he nodded.

“And now that I know your eighteen you don't understand how happy I am it doesn’t seem as bad anymore I know I can get fired if anyone found out that I had strong feelings for you, but the way I feel about you is worth more than some job” but this time the tear fell from my eyes and I groaned

“When did I become such a wimp I never cry” I said and I looked up at him to see that he was smiling at me.

I was mesmerized by his eyes “Mr Gold I don't think I can stay away from you either I feel safe when I'm with you and I’ve never felt this way about someone before I like you there’s just something about you” I said.

“It’s Elliot” he said softly.

We both started leaning toward I was so excited and nervous this would be my first kiss and the anticipation was killing me.

The door barged open I jumped away from him but he stayed where he was and groaned I had to admit that it was so sexy that it sent shivers up my spine and Elliot notice because he smirked in my direction.

“A, I thought I was your boyfriend and I catch you in bed with another man you should be ashamed of yourself” Jake said faking hurt.

I decided to play along “I'm sorry Jake it meant nothing you know you’re the one for me will you ever forgive me” I joked with a girly voice.

“No I don't think I can you mean nothing to me now” and with that we both cracked up laughing and he came and jumped on the bed well when I mean bed I meant me.

I was still under Jake when we started talking to us.

“So you two finally admit that you love each other” Jake said.

My eye widened I never said anything about love. I didn't love him did I?

“Jacob why are you in here” Mr Gold asked.
