"Angelo, I was just trying to protect you. What he's done is wrong." Mom says. I close my eyes and ignore her.
"Jane come on just let him alone."
"He's my baby... I..."
"I know come on." He says. I hear her voice trail off and my door shuts. It was two days before anyone came again. It was the same detectives. They had a third man with them.
"This is Doctor Wen." I rolled my eyes. Great, I was guessing psychologist to see if I was being taken advantage of or something. Sure enough he asks to speak to me. In my room maybe? I just lead him up and offer him the chair at my desk. I sit on my bed and wait for him to start asking questions.
"So, how are you holding up. You missed school today?"
"Yeah I wasn't feeling good."
"Why not?"
"Oh probably because people think I'm too brain dead to have a love life and Zach is some kind of pervert."
"He's not?"
"No he's not. Look Doc I know you are here to find out my psychological status and how I really feel about Zach, did he take advantage of me? The simple answer is I love him and he did not take advantage of me. I knew what I was doing and I wanted him. I still do. But even if everyone figures it out his life is now ruined. He'll lose his job, he'll not be able to get another one. What's he going to do? I know he loves his job. I know he'll tell me that he loves me more but I still feel guilty about it."
"Do you blame yourself then for staying in the relationship?"
"I keep thinking that if I'd left him it wouldn't be like this but you know what I wouldn't even if I knew this would happen I wouldn't. I might decide that having sex at school was a bad idea but I'd still see him."
"Why?"
"Because he's great. He's sweet to me. We talk all the time and I never get tired of it. I love that he gets my sense of humor. It's hard to describe someone when you just click with them. You know what I mean?"
"I do. Did you ever worry about him leaving you?"
"No. Not until recently."
"What happened to make you change your mind?"
"This shit happened. How do I know this won't ruin what we have and he'll stop loving me."
"What would you do if he did?"
"Probably never speak to my parents again. Go to college and try to move on."
"What if this all blows over what do you think will happen between you two?"
"I have no idea. I'm going to college next year, maybe. I thought about going straight to work but I'd like to go I've got applications already in. I know he'll support whatever I want to do but long distance is hard and his job is here. Though with all this he's probably lost that so who knows where he might have to go for work. Long distance is hard for a perfect relationship let alone one with this tacked onto it. At this point who knows anymore. I'd like to think we'll weather this and be together but I know that it might not be that easy."
"Do you think he should lose his job?" I sigh heavily.
"No but he probably will. I'm over eighteen. It was consensual. He's not going to go on some pervert rampage and seduce all the guys at the school. But the school board will bow to parent pressure which won't listen to reason and he'll get canned." I wonder. "Have you talked to him like this?" I saw him smile.
"I have. He told me that if possible not to upset you. He was certain this would be hard on you and was worried for you." I smile and chuckle.
"Was he alright, had they arrested him?"
"No. He was being held for questioning. They'll have to let him go this evening or arrest him."
"Do you think they will?"
"I'm uncertain. I only give my assessment. It's the DA and police who determine that." He stood and left telling me good luck. I was sitting there late that night worrying about Zach some more when dad pops into the door.
"You have a guest at the door." I stood and headed down Zach stood there on the other side of the screen.
"Zach." I ran through the door and hugged him. He chuckled and hugged me tight.
"Aw did you miss me."
"Yes. Oh god are you alright? They let you go. Are they pressing charges?"
"I'm fine and no they aren't. I've already been fired from my job but I'm not being arrested so that's good." I hugged him tighter and felt emotion clog my throat.
"If mom hadn't seen, if I'd left right away, or she'd just kept her mouth shut, it would have been fine."
"Don't blame your mom. It wasn't her. I'd already gone to the superintendents office to tell him when she called."
"You went? Why?"
"Three reasons. One, it would look better if I talked to him myself and not get tattled on. Two, I had hoped to forestall any concern about your age and our relationship legally. And three, I love you. I'm not ashamed of it. So he fired me and called the police. I stuck around and told them the truth about it all." I stared at him.
"You just sat there and let them take you?'
"Yes. Like I said I'm not ashamed of loving you."
"But your job, you love your job."
"I love you more." He kissed me lightly. "I just wanted to come past and show you I was out and fine. They are dropping it, though I'm sure it'll be in the paper this weekend and all over the gossip lines when I don't go back to work."
"I'll be questioned when I go to school. I know they went and talked to Rob about it and Andy. What about your family?"
"Oh they talked to them too. My mother gave them an ear full about it. Don't blame your mom Angel she loves you."
"Yeah, so do you and you confessed."
"Yep so we could be together. I was going to come by tomorrow and talk to them about dating you. I'd rather have their blessing then fight them."
"They'll probably tell you to keep it to weekends and not at your house for the dates."
"Yes." I heard from behind me. I turn to see dad standing there.
"You have our permission and blessing to date him but this weekend. You come to dinner Saturday and you can take him out Sunday. No school nights, no sex, no your house, and no sneaking out or in." I laugh and agree, so does Zach. I see dad walk away and pull Zach down the porch and pull him back with me into the dark of the far end. He moans as I kiss him. I pulled back and hugged him again.
"I was so scared you'd get arrested and that would be it. Or you'd blame me for this and not want to see me again."
"Blame you? Why would I do that. It wasn't your fault. But it's over now we can just be together and not worry about it anymore." I nod and kiss him again. As the kisses heat I reach for his pants.
"Angel, we are on the porch."
"Yes so you'll have to be quiet." I get him free then turn around and get my jeans over my ass. He spreads me wide and pushes inside. I have to bite my lip to keep from moaning. I can't keep my breath from leaving me in rushes as he thrusts inside of me.
"Cum inside. Cum deep." I whisper out to him. He wraps me tight in his arms his hips moving fast, his cock stroking me deep little thrusts.
"Cum with me Angel." His hand cupped my tip and teased it. Slapping a hand over my mouth to smother the sounds I came into his hand. His fast moving hips pounded against me and I felt him cum as he groaned.
"I love you." He whispers to me.
"I love you Zach." Even after we're cleaned up we just sit on the porch swing and enjoy being together. I know we'd been outside for a couple hours. The moon was up and I was getting tired. But I didn't want to go to bed and have him leave. The screen door popped open it was dad.
"It's really late and you have school tomorrow." He says and waves me inside. I just nod and lean from under Zachs arm. Dad goes back in and lets me say goodbye. I get a good kiss and wait till he's backing out in his car before I go inside. Going up to my room I find mom waiting for me in my bedroom. She's leaning against my desk and looks worried. I don't say anything but go over and hug her tight.
"I know you were trying to protect me but you need to understand I'm not a kid anymore. You need to try to listen to me." I tell her. She's a little annoyed but sighs.
"I realize that but it's hard to let go. I'm assuming you two had sex out there." I blush brightly but say nothing.
"I'll let it go that you two are together. You are obviously old enough and mature enough to know what you are doing but don't hurry into this. This is the first time you've been with someone in a serious relationship. I don't want you to get hurt."
"I don't think he'll hurt me but I need to do this. It could all turn out to be a mistake. I don't think it will but I need to do this. Can you trust me to go on dates and stay over at his place? Have a normal relationship with him?" She chuckled.
"I caught that stay at his house part. But yes do what you want. If you need to talk or anything I'm always here." I nod and she kisses my cheek letting me go to bed.
