LITTLE SECRET

CHAPTER 12

History always seemed to go by fast with Landon as a teacher, even though he picked on my quite a bit. Every time he knew I was daydreaming about him, he would choose me and I would say 'What?' and he'd say something like 'Stop daydreaming in my class,' or 'No, that's not the right answer,' He's a pain in my ass.

English seemed to drag on because we were reading a book of our choice for that book report thing we had to do. Instead of reading though, because my book was still at Landon's from the incident we had a few nights ago, but I tried to figure out a plan to tease Landon with but I was coming up blank. But then something hit me, but once again, I needed to rely on one of my friends' help, which could only be Johnathon considering he's the only manly voice of the three.

I walked into Landon's classroom at lunch, and shut the door behind me, and as soon as he was about to grab onto me, my phone rang, and I looked confused as to who it might be, but I knew exactly who it was.

"Hello?" I asked the person on the other side of the phone.

"Hey, so am I just supposed to follow along to whatever you say just in case he takes the phone?" he questioned, sounding bored.

"Yes."

"Okay, then start..."

"Are you still coming over tonight?" I asked trying to sound seductive.

"You bet," he said exaggeratingly.

"Do you have any suggestions on my clothes?" I questioned, still sounding seductive. Before Johnathon could say anything back, Landon spoke.

"Who are you talking to?" he asked, sounding like he was agitated.

"My friend," I said innocently. "Okay, continue." Just before Johnathon started talking I 'accidently' clicked the speaker phone and I pretended to struggle to shut it off.

"Wear that black lacy bra, with the matching thong," he said, disguising his voice.

"Hang on, it's on speaker phone and there are people in the room," I half yelled, feigning embarrassment.

"Just a friend," Landon snorted. "Sounds more like a f**k buddy." I could tell he was getting jealous and it was quite funny watching him squirm, especially after him basically teasing me in his office this morning.

"I'll call you back," I said into the phone before hanging up and smirked at Landon, who had a red looking face.

"Who was that?" he snapped, "I thought you liked me?"

I started laughing uncontrollably, which only confused him and angered him more. "I do like you; I was just messing around with you. It was all planned."

Realization dawned on his face and he looked at me with an evil expression before moving toward me, making me back up. I hit something hard, and I noticed it was the door to his classroom. His hand shot out and locked the door before he placed them on my hips and pressed his body into mine, leaning in slightly."It's not nice to tease Kota," he whispered.

"You aren't my boyfriend, so why does it matter?" I asked smugly.

He let out a large sigh and stepped away from me. Why was he putting it off? Did he not want a committed relationship, only a friend with benefits type thing? He was really confusing me.

"Why are you putting this off? Do you not want a relationship with me?" I demanded.

He looked strained, but didn't answer, so I took that as the answer that he didn't want a relationship with me.

"You know what, Landon? Stop being so possessive and jealous when it comes to other guys! Stop leading me on! This being illegal is enough pressure; I don't need your bullshit!"

"Dakota-"

"When you get your facts straight, you know where to find me," I went to unlock the door but Landon turned me around and pressed me against the door once again.

"I never said I didn't want a relationship, I just didn't want to break another law," he said quickly. "But since I'm already going to Hell, why not do this as well?" he joked. I smiled a large smile, but he still didn't ask me out, and I technically didn't want him to ask me out in his classroom, how unromantic. "Do you want to come over for dinner tonight?"

"Sure," I said really quickly, I seemed quite anxious and I really hope he didn't pick on that, maybe after tonight he wouldn't just be the teacher that I lust, but possibly my boyfriend. Just the thought made me all giddy and excited, I couldn't wait for tonight. Wait, what am I going to wear? I had a sudden meltdown in my mind when I was thinking about what I should wear or not, but then again, I shouldn't have to dress up for him, he's supposed to like me no matter what. I'm not going to try for him tonight.

*

The school day passed slowly, only because I had plans with Landon after school. I was in his class last period, considering I had Phys. Ed, and I waited for all of the girls to leave the locker room and the Gym hallway before I went to the Phys. Ed office.

"Mr. Castelo?" I asked while knocking on the door, just to make sure no other teachers were in here.

"Come in," he said loudly so I could hear him through the closed door.

"I-ugh, what time do you want me to come over?" I asked shyly, my stomach filled with fluttering butterflies.

"Do you want to just come home right after school with me? You can walk down a few blocks and I'll pick you up?" he suggested. I smiled and nodded my head in agreement before going to my locker and getting my books and heading to the destination we had picked.

Ask me how my luck was today. Go on. It was horrible! As soon as I started walking to the destination it started to down pour, and not only did I make it to the destination before Landon, he was also fifteen minutes late. Then there's me, being the over exaggerate person I was, just continued walking till I got home. If he wanted to see me, he could come find me.

My phone vibrated multiple times telling me someone was calling, and I knew it would be Landon, but I'm so livid right now that I don't think I could talk to him without cursing him out a few times. When I got home, Derek and Sarah were sat on the couch watching t.v, and of course Derek laughed at me for looking like a drowned rat.

"Don't be such a dickhead," Sarah muttered while smacking him upside the head.

"Ouch, babe, that hurt," he pouted, giving her the famous puppy dog look. I rolled my eyes and walked up the stairs, but not before seeing that they started making out on my couch. Remind me to sterilize that later, if that's even possible...

I was curious as to what Landon and Derek's reaction will be when they see each other. I know that Derek will go all 'protective big brother' over me, and I don't know what to expect from Landon. I truly didn't know him as well as I hoped I would at this point in time.

I decided on a quick shower so I could warm up a little bit from the rain but the doorbell rang, and I had to wait at the top of the stairs to hear the conversation. I had a feeling it was going to be pretty great.

"Mr. Castelo, what are you doing here?" Derek asked, completely confused. I was actually glad my mom hadn't told him, but I was sure if she did, I would have heard about it already.

"Derek, right, is Dakota home?" Landon asked, seeming quite nervous.

"She didn't look like she was in the best mood right now, considering she looks like a drowned rat, but I'll see if she got in the shower yet, come in."

Derek ran up the stairs and almost smacked into me from not looking where he was going.

"Mr. Castelo is downstairs; he wants to talk to you. Why is he here anyways?"

"He likes me," I stated nonchalantly.

He busted out laughing, "You're kidding me right?" I gave him a dull look, showing him that I wasn't kidding at all, and that I was truly pissed off right now. Anger flashed in his eyes and he ran down the stairs as fast as he could without falling flat on his face. "You like my sister?" he bellowed.

"I ugh, I don't know what you're talking about," Landon lied.

"She just told me! You're like thirty years old, why are you crushing on my little sister!" Derek yelled loudly.

"Actually I'm twenty-four, and did she fail to mention we are dating?" I heard Derek and Sarah gasp loudly, and I snorted loudly, coming down the stairs slowly.

"Dating? Please, I would never call this dating. It's more like he's over possessive, and jealous about every guy that talks to me. It's more like friends with benefits. Plus, you never asked me out," I interrupted.

"W-Wait, so you actually like your teacher?" Sarah shouted. "Oh my God, that's so cute, but bad at the same time! So-so, scandalous," she yelled excitedly. Okay, maybe I should have just kept my mouth shut.

"Why are you trying to date a student?" my brother boomed at Landon. "And does mom know about this?"

I shrugged, "Yes, she met him yesterday and also told me you can't help who you fall in love with."

"I swear to God, if you so much as hurt my little sister, I will castrate you!"

Landon didn't seem fazed considering there was a significant difference in height and muscle. But at least Derek was taking this better than I thought he would.

"Are you still coming over?" Landon asked me, and I debated whether or not I should go, but decided that I would even if he left me out in the rain and will probably be getting sick any time now.

I nodded my head and stated, "Yes, I'll come, but don't expect me to get all dressed up just for you."

He sent me a sincere smile and approached me, engulfing me in a warm embrace, "You're already beautiful no matter what you wear." He leaned down to give me a kiss on the lips, earning an 'awe' from Sarah, but Derek told him that he didn't want to see his teacher make-out with his twin sister, so Landon said he will do it the next time I'm alone.

"Do you want to come upstairs?" I asked quietly, looking up through my eyelashes. He nodded his head with a large smile on his face, looking quite grateful and excited at the same time. But before I went upstairs I remembered something, "You guys can't tell anyone! I can get expelled and Landon can get fired and sent to jail, so please, keep your mouths shut."

"Aye, aye, Captain," Derek joked, but I didn't laugh. I didn't want anything to happen to Landon or I, I had a feeling that he was going to do something important tonight, if you know what I mean.

I grabbed Landon's hand, but he had different plans as he scooped me up so my stomach was on his right shoulder and his hands were on my thighs and butt keeping me in place, making me squeal and giggle. Landon took off running for the stairs and I was bouncing up and down continually.

My body was tingly, and my face was on fire. What if I was too heavy for him? Clearly he wasn't falling over, and I knew he wouldn't tell me if I was heavy or not.

"Which room is yours?" he asked, his breathing normal, not even laboured the slightest. How can he carry me up a flight of stairs and not breathe heavily, but every time we kiss his breathing becomes quite rapid.

"The second door on the right," I said, still quite embarrasses as to the situation we were in. How did I become so soft for him? I remember when I still wanted to punch him in the face, but now I want to attack him with my lips and lick all over his sexy eight pack abs.

"So, what's your favourite food?" he asked curiously.

"Depends what I'm in the mood for," I said shrugging. "Why?"

"Just curious," he said frowning. I didn't know why he was asking but I shrugged it off. I wonder if he knows how to cook. I would definitely love a home cooked meal from him, he seems to be good at everything else. "What are you going to wear sexy?"

My heart fluttered at the name he called me. He thinks I'm sexy? I liked that name, that's for sure. "Probably just a pair of jogging pants and a t-shirt," I responded, going to my walk-in closet.

"Hey, I think you should wear these," Landon stated, making me turn around and my eyes grew in complete horror and embarrassment. There in his hand was the black lace bra and thong that Johnathon had described earlier. How did Johnathon know I had it? He's the one that bought it to embarrass me while opening my presents.
