Once he was gone, I went to Eva’s room to talk to her. She was leaving today for the college so she was sleeping like a dead body. I didn’t care. I wanted to talk to her.
I knocked on the door but knowing she was asleep I barged in because if she wasn’t asleep she would’ve been there when mum was arguing with Ryan.
“Eva, wake up.” I shook her body but she put her head under the pillow to block me out. I kept shouting until she huffed and sat up.
“What is it, Noah?” She scowled, looking at me like she wanted to murder me.
“Ryan met mother today.” I sat at the feet of the bed. Her sloppy head straightened and she was attentive just like that.
“How did it go?” She asked but judging by her expressions I knew she had an idea how it went.
“Mum forced him to break up with me and said she’d take legal actions if he didn’t leave me.” I sighed, looking down at my hands on the lap.
“I knew she’d react like this. I knew she would never acc
The next day, early in the morning I woke up to my mother shouting at Eva. I didn’t know what it was about so I didn’t even try to eavesdrop on the argument. Eva seemed very pissed at mum for some reason. I had never heard her talk to mother like that and it was quite shocking. I could hear Dad trying to jump into the argument to save both the ladies to go any further but it wasn’t helping much. I sighed and got out of my bed. My sleep was already ruined so there was no point in slipping back under the duvet. I was planning on going to school early so I could eat something on the way because I hadn’t gone down to have lunch last night to show mum how pissed I was at her. Well, she didn’t even asked twice. When I was all ready for school and was grabbing my wallet, my house keys and my phone, it beeped. Every time my phone had a notification my heart started pumping blood faster than before. I took a breath to calm down before turning on the phone and looking
I heard him sigh and then he kissed the top of my head, lingering his lips there and mumbling “Me too, baby.” He pulled back and pushed me gently away just enough to have a proper look at my face. He wiped off all the tears before leaning down to kiss me. A smile pulled upon my lips before his lips crashed against mine and just like that everything faded. We got lost in our bubble like always and nothing around us mattered anymore. We were the only two in our little world where the nature always celebrated when we were together, birds sang and fireworks exploded in the sky. Butterflies danced in our stomachs to the melody that was inaudible to everyone but us. It was like a celebration of love and union of two lovers. He detached our lips to breathe but then again pressed them back to my lips but this time without moving them. He just kept them still and pressed to my lips. Few seconds later, he broke them apart but only to leave few pecks on my lips before completel
I decided to walk back home, rejecting Mateo’s offer to drive me back home. I wanted the time to think about everything that unfolded in the last two months. Looking back at it right now made me realize that I actually lived 20 years in the last two months. I reached home taking an extra 20 minutes as I kept my pace slow and grabbed a cup of coffee from a café on my way back. I needed some caffeine in my body or I knew I wouldn’t be able to function. I went straight to my room without eating anything. The first thing I did after entering my room and throwing my bag on the bed was to grab the photo album that Ryan gifted me from under my clothes in the closet. I sat on the bed before I opened the album and stared at the first ever picture he had taken of me. It was me sitting on the patio in his mansion and smiling at nothing in particular. I could see that my eyes held no shine at that time. They were just plain green. I could clearly se
“Crime is a crime.” She gave me a look. I was literally done. I sighed and leaned back on the headboard for support. I couldn’t believe that this conversation was going in circles. “Mum, your work is done. If your objective was to fry up my brain with this ‘your relationship is illegal’ shit, then you’ve accomplished your mission. Congratulations.” I said and turned my face to look away from her. Just looking at her was making me cry. “My objective was to guide you but it seems like you’ve literally made up your mind that I’ve something against you. You are my son, Noah and I can’t see you fall in a dark pit but if you want me to respect your decision then fine. Do whatever you want to do. My job was to tell you the difference between right and wrong, now it’s up to you.” Her voice was low and I could tell that she was hurt by my words. “Don’t break up with him if you don’t want to but do me a favor, make him change his profession as soon as you can.
We had our summer holidays right after the results. I topped Literature, Mathematics, and Business. Yeah I know weird combinations of subjects but who cared. I loved all the subjects and I topped. I was so ready for my senior year or what you can call a second year of lower 6th. I couldn’t wait for high school to be over so I could enjoy the journey of university. The only thing that was making me sad and dreading the senior year was that Mateo had graduated from high school. He was going to university and we wouldn’t be able to see each other for days. But I was happy for him as well because he finally had what he was waiting for. The freedom. He could love anyone he wanted and he didn’t have to answer his parents for that. He was getting a job in the summer holidays to save enough for the university even though he was on full sports scholarship. But he just wanted to save money in case his parents cut him off if they find out he’s homo
“You are special, Noah Carter.” With that he closed the distance between our lips that my lips were aching to remove for a while now. I hummed in satisfaction but it turned into a moan as he slid his tongue in my mouth, pulling me impossibly closer. His kisses were always so refreshing that they took me to another level of my existence. Always so otherworldly. Always had a passion, the love and the tenderness in them no matter how hungrily he was kissing me. “Your lips are so intoxicating. As cliché as it sounds, I’m addicted.” He mumbled before taking the top lip of mine between his before sucking on it. “You mesmerise me, Noah Carter. You take me to the ride of a new world that no one has discovered yet. Just you and me.” He whispered, pulling back and resting his forehead against mine, breathing heavily against my lips. And it was something about the way he called me by my full name during these moments that made me want to just cry because
First day of school after holidays and I was sweating my way to the dining table for breakfast. Two weeks had passed and today was the day she threatened to expose us. I was conflicted between wanting to tell Ryan and hiding the truth completely. “Noah, you alright, son?” I heard dad’s voice which made me snap my head at him. “Y-yeah… yeah, I am.” I absentmindedly nodded my head, stuttering because words were stuck in my throat. I felt a hand on my shoulder and then my mother’s soothing voice followed. “Cupcake, you don’t look like you’re fine. Is something bothering you?” I contemplated if I should tell her or not but then decided against it because even my mind was in a battle. One part was saying that she was bluffing and the other was saying… well it wasn’t saying anything at all. It was just screaming in panic. “No. Nothing’s bothering me.” I said before grabbing the glass of juice and gulping it down. I stood up, flung the bag ov
I reached home, discarded my bag on the living room couch and went straight for the kitchen. I was starving and I felt like if I didn't eat in the next few minutes, I would faint. All the tension in the school didn’t let me eat even during the lunch break but now the day was over and I was relieved of all the tension. The part of the brain that said she was bluffing was right. Mum had made lasagna for me and had stored it in the fridge. My mouth watered as I warmed it and then finally settled down to eat it but as I was gonna take my first bite, my phone buzzed as it was on vibration mode. I picked it up from the table, setting down the fork. I turned on the screen and there it was another text message from Ivy. I groaned. Not now! Still, I tapped it open and read what she had to say. ‘Today was your lucky day. But don’t worry, your doom is not far away’ I huffed and turned the phone off. I really had enough. Her threats weren’
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
