Her Dirty little Secret

**Zoe POV** My name is Zoe, this will not be your typical story because my life is not f*****g Harry Potter there is nothing magical about what you will read. This will be 100% about my trials and tribulations of a woman yearning to be more than just a wife, just a mom, just a jill of all trades. I will pour my soul onto these pages for all to witness and hopefully, you will never do what I did.  It all started over a month ago… Xavier was taking the girls to visit his mother and for once I would be able to relax. Well, that was until his mother decided to go on a mini-vacation and he bailed to go hang with his buddies down at the bar. f**k MY LIFE!! Jacob was pulling Karlie’s’ hair and they were both running around the in the living room screaming to the top of their lungs. If I didn’t do something I was going to be the next episode of Law And Order: SVU. I know it’s wrong but I bribed them with food and drink (which had a secret ingredient of NyQuil to knock them out for a bit) and their favorite movie. About 20 minutes into the Frozen, I was carrying them one by one up the stairs and laying them down.  I tiptoe out of their rooms because if they wake up and I ruin all my work to get them to sleep I will snap. I stood in the middle of the hallway, just in case one of them wake back up but luckily they’re out for the next few hours. I can finally finish the laundry, clean the house and hide in the bathroom and do what I do best: Scroll through f******k and watch the lives of my ex-friends. I find myself somewhere between the folds of the laundry in the washer and a grilled cheese sandwich that wasn’t destroyed by the kids and my phone starts to buzz… which is shocking because my phone NEVER goes off unless it’s work, my editor or Xavier requesting something stupid. I look at the phone screen and could feel my heart stop beating I can feel the air getting caught in my throat, it’s him. It’s Elijah, he was my high school crush and friend but around my junior year, he just disappeared. He was God’s greatest creation then, and from the looks of it still is. Still tall, still sporting his shoulder-length brown hair, still has that stupid devilish grin and still (to me anyway) the f*****g eye candy of the century. I accept the friend request and set the phone down on the counter, now I’m lost in thought about WHY HE SENT ME A FRIEND REQUEST?!?!?!?!  ------ I haven’t moved for the past hour, just sitting here staring at my phone. The last time I heard from Elijah was when I was 15 years old and even then he was a whirlwind. I remember it like it was yesterday *yes, we are about to have a flashback moment* “Tara, I cannot believe you’re going to that stupid dance!” I say staring at her when she spins happily in her computer chair. This girl has lost her f*****g mind, is she aware that people will be at this dance?  “Zoey, hear me out? This dance is a chance for us to stop being looked at as kids and finally be apart of the crowd. Ya know? That thing we’ve been cast out from since kindergarten. Just come with me, we’ll be each others’ date?” She smiles at me as if she knows I will cave, I wish she didn’t know me so well but I probably will tag along. UGH! What is wrong with me, why am I even agreeing to this? “Fine, I’ll go. But I swear to god… if it’s anything like Chris’s birthday party in the 7th grade, I swear I will kill you” I say trying to sound stern but she’s all too happy to ignore me because once again Tara has won the battle.  I was so annoyed with her I couldn’t bear to stay a moment longer, so I told her I was going to the Library. I gathered up my belongings and made my way into the back of the Library where I normally hideaway but today was different. There was the most beautiful boy sitting in my area. He had dark brown eyes similar to Hershey’s kisses and hair to match that ever so nicely stopped at his broad shoulders. As I approached my lounge chair, I walked into the table next to him and fell because I was too busy staring to see where I going. (Great move dumbass) Before I could scuttle away, I looked up and saw him standing there smiling at me. I grinned back and now that I think about it probably looked like a straight i***t but I grinned like I was perfectly fine. “Are you ok?” He asks, his voice deep with a thick accent. He’s not from around her, OH MY LANTA! I think I just melted. “Oh, erm yeah I’m ok,” I say finally getting to my knees, I never even realized that he was the reason I was standing up, well that was until I attempted to pull away and lost my balance.  “Ok, I don’t think you are. I walk you to the nurse, yes?” YES!! YES!! YES!! Please walk me to the nurse, to your house, anywhere you want me. “I guess, I mean if you don’t mind?” I again smile as I feel his hands snake around my waist tighter. He takes my backpack and picks me up, literally sweeping me off my feet. WHO IS THIS MYSTERY MAN AND WHY HASN’T HE TAKEN MY VIRGINITY YET?  I am pretty sure he can feel my wet panties through my pants, god I need to stop. “My name is Elijah, but you can call me Eli” This God has a name!!  “My name is Zoey. Are you always the knight in shining armor?” I ask trying to be flirtatious. “No, but you seemed like you needed the lift! Get it the lift? Because I picked you up” He starts laughing and there go my panties again DRENCHED! “Ha!Ha!Ha! You’re soo funny” I rolled my eyes and felt him pretend to drop me a bit, I wrapped my arms around his neck so I wouldn’t fall and his cologne caught me. The smell of sweet sweat and something like sweet wine he smelled like my first mistake and by god I was gonna make it real.  As we approached the nurse’s office he slowly let me down so that she could look at me, he sat me in the seat outside her office and slowly walked away. I knew I should’ve said something but he could’ve said something too. As he walked down the hall the classes were concluding and he was lost among the crowds of the hallway. Tara spotted me and runs over with our friend Toby asking a million and one questions about why I was at the nurses’ office. I explained everything while the nurse wrapped me up… “Are you serious? Elijah Chenko carried you to the nurse’s office?” She squeaked like a dog’s chew toy and then continued her rant. “He’s the hottest guy in school and yet no one knows a thing about him. OMG!! I’m so excited for you” She says before jumping up and running down the hall without uttering a single word. Toby just follows her like he always down the hall and disappears into the class.   Now here I am with a sprained ankle and a million thoughts running through my head but only one thought matters, Why was Elijah Chenko being so nice? And why does he smell like that? f**k ME something is wrong with me.
