Forbidden Fantasy-A Teacher Student Novel

   Chapter Thirteen

Later that morning I half expected my father to drill me on my whereabouts the night before. To my surprise, he didn’t. He and Rebecca seemed awfully happy, making me sick to my already sick stomach. Something told me they had…done the do last night, which was why he wasn’t concerned with where I’d been. I didn’t like thinking of my father in that situation. It made me want to vomit.

My stomach was really upset, too. I figured it was due to me being so tense yesterday then taking that hot shower. Every muscle in my body had unclenched.

I went to school prepared to learn but somewhere in my mind, I knew the only reason I was going to school now was to see Devin. I knew this was very wrong of me and I had nothing against education I just…really wanted to see Devin.  I found myself wishing the day would go by faster just so I could see him. It didn’t.

My first class went by in a flash but second period Marina’s endless ranting about her mother’s new rules and how unfair she thought they were nearly made me want to duct tape her mouth shut. Don’t get me wrong I loved Marina. Really I did. But she seriously needed to lay off her mother issues. At least she still had a mother who loved her. A mother who was trying to look out for her and protect her. At least her mother was still alive.

Lunch came next and boy did I feel like doing the same thing to four idiotic girls at the table. All they ever talked about was makeup and television shows. I mean really? Read a damn book once in a while for god’s sake? All their talking was grating on my last nerve, not to mention Jacks constant need to be touching me.  I wasn’t sure why my nerves were on such high alert but I’d have to fix that before my fourth period. I didn’t want to snap on my favorite professor.

So during gym I ran it off. I asked Murphy if I could listen to music while I ran and she didn’t seem to have a problem with it. I even beat my original time by five minutes and forty two second. Once I finished my run, she let me hit the showers before the others since I had done so well. I actually made it out of gym before the end bell rang and was in my seat before the beginning bell rang for fourth period. My early entry made Devin smile. He nodded my way.

Once the bell rang he used the first few minutes to tease me.

“Class, I must say today I witnessed a miracle.” He gave me one of those genuine smiles that I loved so much. He didn’t really give those out during class unless he was really in a good mood.

“Ms. Bungah actually made it to class on time today. I think she deserves a hand, don’t you?”

A few of them clapped while Jack whistled.

I sneered playfully at Devin.

“Don’t expect it every day,” I told him. “I just got out of gym a bit early today.”

“Well any day you choose to grace us with your presence is truly a gift.”

This comment made the class look at him a bit weird. I on the other was trying to hide my blush and shocked expression.

“What I mean  is,” he explained. “There are plenty of students who are supposed to be here and never show. So even if you are a few minutes late, I’m glad you care to show up at all.”

As if it wasn’t hard enough keeping my blush down, now I had to seriously concentrate on not giggling like an idiot in front of the entire class.

Class passed by pretty quickly after his comment and soon it was time for Jack’s practice. Which was something I didn’t want to attend today. So I lied and told him my father needed me home for something important. He didn’t ask any questions but instead went his separate way as I told him I needed to go to the bathroom before I headed home.

I stayed there until I was certain the halls were empty. When I was sure I was safe, I exited the girls room and went back to Devin. He smiled at my entrance then walked over to kiss me fiercely.

When he pulled back, I was breathless. I loved it when he did that. It made me feel…I wasn’t sure exactly what it made me feel but I sure as hell liked it. He looked towards the back of the room at where the supply closet was and I understood his meaning. All bets were off then. Our mouths met hot and fast and before I knew it, he was backing me up towards the closet while his hands roamed all over my body. Clothes were removed and body parts were groped.

I had to be honest. Devin gave me something I didn’t know I was craving. Happiness and satisfaction.  This man seemed to bring out the best of me with just the slightest of touches.

I couldn’t lie to myself. I really felt as if I was falling in love with this man.

After our little…romantic escapade in the closet I went home only to be waited on by my father in the living-room.

 He’d told me to have a seat across from him and I did after dropping my bag off at the steps. I had English homework that couldn’t wait.

“I want to talk to you about something while Becca’s not home. I, um…I have been offered a raise.”

“That’s great,” I said with enthusiasm. That was fantastic news. That meant more income. But I was confused as to why he wanted to discuss this when the shrew wasn’t here.

“Yes.” He smiled. “That’s good but there’s a catch.” Uh-oh. “This raise…requires a change in scenery.”

My face sank. “We’re…moving?”

“Well, moving back, I guess. Because of my background and status in the company

they want me to transfer to the new cooperation in Malaysia.”

We couldn’t leave. Not now. I was so happy. I had friends and a life here. Hell, a love life! A dangerous one but it was still a love life. I wanted to stay with Devin.

“Layla? Say something.”

I couldn’t.

“You’ll adjust, I mean this is really important and really, really, big. This raise could set us for life.”

“But we have enough now. You make enough now. Why do we have to move when we’re well off now?!” I had nearly been shouting and had to work to calm myself. If I didn’t I knew tears would be the next step.

“I’m sorry, Layla. I know you have Marina and probably even school you care about. Trust me sweetheart, I know, but this raise would help with your college funds. I’m thinking of you when we do this.”

So he had already decided. There was no point in arguing, once he set his mind to something there was no changing it. I’d inherited that from him. My mother had been the level headed one, the free bird if you will.

“Is Rebecca coming?”

“Of course, well, I’m hoping. I know she has her job and everything so things are going to be difficult.”

Difficult? Rebecca was going to throw a hissy fit over this. Even if she didn’t like the job there was no way she’d leave her clients.

“I’ve got homework,” I mumbled.

“Layla.”

“Talk to your wife then get back to me.” If anyone could talk him out of this, it was Rebecca. “I’ve got homework, papa. So just confront this with Rebecca and when you have made your decision, tell me.”

He nodded. “I’m sorry, Layla.”

“Don’t be sorry for thinking of my future.” I started for the stairs. “I love you papa.”

I took my bag and went to my room. After tossing my bag to the bed, I did the same with my body.

It had been a long day and with this new information, my mind just wanted to sleep. So I let it.

Before I knew it I was waking up to someone shrieking.

“What the hell do you mean?!” Rebecca shouted. “They can’t do this to you!”

I must have fallen asleep because the sky was now darker. Judging from her yelling I figured he’d told her about the raise. I knew she wouldn’t be too thrilled and I was right. I just hoped she could talk him out of this.
