I got out of the cab after paying the driver. I looked at the metal gates in front of me and took a deep breath.

“Welcome, Mr Carter.” Guard on the gate greeted me and let me in. I looked around the garden and it was decorated with fairy lights, white ribbons and lanterns. I walked all the way to the front doors of the mansion and I was sure it took me whole 10 minutes.

I skipped through the front doors that were open for me obviously. I made my way to the living room and a guy was sprawled on the couch. I cleared my throat to gain his attention. He looked up from the phone he was using, at me and sat up.

"You must be Noah." He smiled and walked over to me.

"Umm... yeah and you?" I questioned, trying to remember if Ryan told me about having a brother or cousin brother coming over.

"Name's Shawn. Shawn Brandon." He extended his arm, making me remember.

So, this is Shawn, his best friend, who manages his business. He didn’t look much of

    I thanked my sixth sense that already warned me how busy Ryan would be at his birthday party. That's one of the reasons I gave his present before the party started but that was just not it. I wanted to do something else as well. I was nervous but I just wanted to try it. What could go wrong other than me embarrassing the fuck out of me? I spent most of the time with Lilac and Lyla. I realized that Lyla was only against my relationship because Ryan was already in a mess and she cared for him. She told me that she was happy that Ryan found someone like me who just loved him, not just one thing that comes with him but whole him. She further said that she would like to be the one to officiate our wedding which freaked me out a bit because our wedding was not something we have ever thought about. I mean, I was just 17 turning 18 in a month? "I'm tired!" Lyla whined as soon as Shawn approached him and jumped on him, wrapping her limbs around him. "I think we should

    It had been another week since Ryan’s birthday and in that span of period I received few more of the pictures and they were of the New Year party when Ryan and I were in the car. First thing I wondered was why didn’t they send me those pictures first but then I realized that it was hard to make Ryan’s face in that picture. Though you could tell it was Ryan but it took a very observing eye to recognize him. So, I concluded that maybe that was the reason because they wanted to properly scare me and I was scared. I wanted to tell Ryan but I couldn’t. I was afraid of his reaction too. If this was going to send up blown away in our faces then I wanted every last second of it. Yeah, it was selfish but I couldn’t process without him. I needed him with me. But then guilt always washed over me in the night that I would probably be suspended but Ryan would go straight to the jail for this act. He teaching license would be taken and not only that, the bad words would be

    I threw my bag in the foyer before running upstairs, trying to hold the tears that were threatening to leave my eyes since I saw those pictures. I didn’t know who was stalking us but they sure were doing a great job at it. If I were alright, my first thought would be to brush my teeth and rinse my mouth with mouthwash after puking but I didn’t care at the moment. I flopped down face first on the bed and cried my eyes out because that’s all I could do then. I couldn’t lose him. Not after everything we have been through. We were going so strong. I didn’t have it in me to think of a day without him. Thinking of a day without Ryan in it was like eating fries without ketchup… even worse. The point is Ryan added the taste, the colors to my life and he was so important to me. Not because he made me feel alive but because between all of this back and forth with each other, we really found the out that we complete each other. I heard my phone ringing which pul

    A week later and whoever that was, never replied to my text. I kept questioning myself if they were planning on revealing my big secret or they left me alone for good. Well, whatever it was, it would eventually come out. Few days were left until my birthday and I was planning on telling my parents about my relationship a day after my birthday. Those pictures being out meant, this relationship could be exposed any moment so, I wanted my parents to know that before they find out from another source. “Baby, help me with these.” Ryan called me from the kitchen. His groceries have just been delivered and he was arranging them in the fridge while I was watching Disney movies. Ever since I have got my sight, I couldn’t stop watching TV. It was so fascinating to me. Even camera lens did better job than my eyes… huh! I paused the movie I was watching. Even though I knew what was going to happen because I had read the book and heard audio book several times but

    The next few hours spent watching the Disney movies from the collection Ryan bought for me. Yep, he was literally spoiling me and getting himself in trouble but as much as he denied, he was really into those movies. From time to time, I heard his little giggles and his little comments on few scenes. He didn’t know but I caught him wiping off the tears at one point by side glancing. He was so into it that I had to call him three times to get his attention and even when I caught his attention, he handed me the snacks while his eyes still locked on the screen. So much for acting like a mature tough guy. It was already 5 in the evening when we were done watching. I had to head back home because it was school night. Though I had my stuff here with me in his house, my mother strictly told me to get back home before 6. I didn’t want to upset her any more than she was. “I have to head home now.” I said, collecting the mess we created around us. The juice bott

    I was sitting in the café with Mateo trying to pass the lunch break. After those pictures, I had stopped visiting Ryan in his office because we weren’t hidden anymore. The question was who took those photos because I distinctively remember that curtains of the window that opens out in the football ground was closed and the picture looked like it was taken from that angle. The only explanation was if someone had placed the camera there at some point or opened the window from the outside. “Noah, where’s your phone?” I heard Jessica who was walking to the table Mat and I were sitting at. “In the bag.” I answered her with a frown on my face. “Well, Mr Brown is calling you in his office. He said he tried your phone but you didn’t answer.” She said, sitting beside Mateo who looked glum today. He was suspiciously very quiet. “Oh… it’s on silent. I’ll go see him.” I informed her before standing up to leave. I knew he would ask me as to why I was avoid

    “Jackson?! Why would he ask you that?” I was totally baffled by this news. “He knows Mr Brown’s wife. I don’t know what the relation is but they are related in some way. I think she asked him to take those pictures of you and him.” “How do you know he took pictures? I’m sorry, I’m so confused here. Tell me what happened?” “Well, Atkinson came to me and asked if I was the one who was assigned to clean Mr Brown’s office and when I told him yes, he asked me to leave the window open because Mr Brown asked him to do that for him. I was confused but I didn’t suspect and left the window open. During the lunch break, I saw him sneakily taking a camera with him. I followed him and watched him take pictures from the opened window. I caught him red handed and when I peeked inside, I understood what he was taking pictures of. I asked him to delete those pictures and he told him that Mr Brown’s wife need those pictures. Knowing that the big names were getting involved, I

    Two days and I still didn’t answer that text and nor did she texted me about what she wanted from me. If she wanted something, she had to say it. I wasn’t going to sweat about it now. It was Saturday and I wasn’t at Ryan’s because he went to see his family in Bradford. His little sister really wanted to see him and this time I felt very bad to hold him up. He couldn’t take leave during the working days because exams were near which was also becoming a headache for me as my mother was pressuring me to study instead of spending weekends at my boyfriend’s. If she knew how much it calmed me to be with him and only he could help me come over this exam fever. “Hey, bro.” I heard Mateo’s voice that made me snap out of the thoughts. I was at his place because he wasn’t feeling well for quite a time now and he wanted to talk to me about it. His parents made us keep the door open which was weird to hear but we went with it. They also did me weird looks as it was the fi

    Two years… Funny how things take a full 180 degrees turn in such a short time. If you had asked me two years ago how my life would be going two years from now. The only thing I could tell you was that I’d be graduating from a high school and getting ready for college which was of course, happening. Today I was graduating from high school but that’s not the only highlight of these two years. Before I stepped into the world, my life was pretty boring. I could sum up that life in one sentence but these last two years have been wild. So many thing that I never imagined would happen to me happened. I fell in love. Someone fell in love with me. I made friends. I met people. I talked to people. Most importantly, I got my lost sense back. All of that happened in two years. For seventeen years my life was pretty stuck. The only people I had talked to outside my family were the pizza delivery guy and the cashier lady at the supermarket where mummy did groceries. The only frien

    “Let’s go to my office.” He spoke, grabbing my hand. I nodded. He turned to the girl who was standing next to him and told her that he would be busy so no one should disturb him before leading us to the elevator to go to his office. I learned that his office was on the 40th floor of the tower and it was the only room that we couldn’t look into from outside and it also has a wooden door. He closed the door of his office behind us and guided me to the large desk placed at the end of the room. It was a huge ass room decorated with the things I could never name. It didn’t have anything that we could say was useful to him to advance in his tech. Just a very vast decorated room with the large glass desk at the end of the room with the huge glass panes behind from where the entire city could be seen. “I’m surprised that it still surprises me.” I spoke in a whisper. “What?” he asked, leaning against the desk and folding his arms. “I

    Standing before what looked like 60 to 70 floored building made me shiver. It then when it actually sunk in that I was dating a millionaire. That he wasn’t some guy who owned few thousand dollars. He wasn’t just a teacher. He was a fucking millionaire and he owned this 70 story building. The funny thing was, it wasn’t the only large building he owned. It was so crazy that my head started spinning at all this. I take a look at the building one more time. From bottom to the top and then back to bottom. After it really sunk in, I let out a poof of breath before entering through the glass doors. The reception was across the wide lobby and pair of elevators were present at the each side of the lobby. The pair of escalators were present at each side of the reception desk. Large LED screens were hanging right above the desk showing some company related shit. The monogram of the company was hanging in the middle of the lobby as a sweet voice of lady repeatedly said, “Welcome

    “I think I’ve found the one.” My heart dropped to the pit of stomach as my throat went dry. I was becoming a hot and red mess as I read that line over and over again. He really said that? I read the rest of the interview as Jessica was now turning to the school and was going in the parking area to park the car. Just when she pulled over, I was done reading the magazine. I closed it and looked up at Jessica who was already looking at me with a smile. I couldn’t hold my smile and launched myself on her, catching her in a hug. “I’m so fucking in love with him.” I sighed dreamingly, tightening the arms around her. “As you should be. You guys are made for each other.” I broke the hug and sat back on the seat, looking at Ryan’s cover on the magazine with heart eyes. I wish he was here right now. I would’ve hugged him so tightly that my scent wouldn’t have left his body for next two weeks. “Now let’s go inside.” She turned around to

    Ryan’s interview got published in yesterday’s Sunday magazine and I had literally turned off my phone since then. I totally forgot that it was going to publish yesterday and when I received a call from Mateo saying he read the interview, I was totally blank as to what he was speaking. Few seconds later I understood and right after hanging up the call with Mateo, I switched off my phone. I hadn’t read the interview yet, I still had to go and buy that magazine which was making me making me more nervous. What if I bump into someone from the school in there? Though it wasn’t the question now as today I had to go to the school. I called Jessica to pick me up from the house because I wanted to read what Ryan said about me before going to school. I wanted to be prepared in case I had to show give someone piece of my mind. “You alright, baby bro?” I snapped my head at Eva who just entered the living room in her PJs as I was waiting for Jessica to arrive. She

    I was sitting in my room waiting for my family to be done with their preparations as we all were going to Ryan’s to have that one big family dinner that Ryan suggested. First we thought of having the dinner at some restaurant but then Ryan still hadn’t given that interview so we decided to keep it behind the doors. The interview was due the tomorrow. We could’ve waited another day but the dates weren’t aligning. Eva and Ryan’s sister were busy so we had to fix today’s date. “Baby bro!” Eva barged into my room, yelling and interrupted my hair styling. “What?!” “Give me that watch of yours that mum gifted you this Christmas.” She demanded and stated searching through my things. “What the fuck, Eva?! Stop!” I stopped her from rummaging through my property. “Where’s your watch?” She questioned. “Why do you want it?” I questioned, staring dead at her. “It goes with my dress. Look.” She did a little twirl, making me s

    Two weeks had gone by since I told the truth to the principal. Everything was going back to normal. Teachers had stopped giving me lectures. Though their strange looks always searched for me in the class and now whenever they stared at me, they had a distinctive look in them. Mr Dunkin met Ryan and wasn’t very happy about what had happened but as I thought, he didn’t take any legal action because he was relieved that it wasn’t something like what Ryan had told him earlier. Harassment case from a school would have destroyed school’s reputation way worse than a simple love affair between a teacher and student. Everything was going just fine. Mateo had called me once Jessica told him what had happened at the school. He was worried but I assured him that everything was settled. He was happy that Ryan had resigned and now I could have somewhat normal version of our relationship. I also told him that Ryan wanted my family to meet his family. Just so they could get

    "I was thinking of something." He spoke as if he was leading into some bigger conversation. "What?" "I know in the interview I'm going to be asked about my personal life. I'm no longer a teacher so I was thinking of revealing our relationship?" He looked down at me, arching his eyebrow. "Okay?" I shrugged but I wasn't sure what he meant by that. "I wouldn't be very specific. I would just mention that I have someone in my life and maybe take your name, if you're comfortable with that?" "I have no problem with it. But don't you think if people find out I was your student they would say things." I inquired. "Who cares now, baby? I'm not your teacher. Plus the interview is in a month so, if I give this statement. I won't be sharing the timeline of our relationship. Even if they find out, I'll be getting fined which I can afford. Who fucking cares after what names they've been calling me at the school. I just want to tell the world that I l

    As soon as I left his office, my first reaction was to let out a loud and deep breath and say “OH MY FUCKING GOD!” because I couldn’t believe it happened. It was out. Who cared what would’ve happened next. It was out there. Our relationship was out there and the joy it gave me. I knew Mr Dunkin. I knew he wouldn’t rusticate me or suspend me. I knew he wouldn’t even say anything to Ryan as well because he looked so relieved that none of his school teacher went as low as to harass a kid for his own sexual needs or whatnot. If we had been upfront about the whole thing from the start then there’s a good chance we could’ve gotten the worse reaction and the law would get involved but now I was pretty sure nothing like that would happen because he looked pretty pleased with the true story because it wasn’t disturbing and disgusting. Plus now Ryan was fired and the fact that Ryan was resigning was enough because that meant he didn’t want to continue the illegal relat
