1090 Words
"Forbidden love at its finest." We turned to see Anna with Aurora.
"Morning, Mr Roman." The both said in unison.
"Morning." He said to them. Then he started to walk to his house.
"Mr Roman, my birthday is tonight, you're welcome to come, it's a masquerade party!" She yelled.
He just said " I'm busy, but thanks."
"He's a very serious person, he needs to let loose." Aurora said causing us to laugh.
The girls decided to stay for a few hours, then they left to get ready. Mom and dad told me they were leaving for a week, something about business meetings and other things.
Soon it was time for the party. As I made my way out, I saw Pietro on his porch drinking a beer, his eyes landed on me. He made his way towards me and said "You look beautiful."
"How many beers have you had?"
"This would be my second."
"Well, drunkie. If you change your mind, this is Anna's address." I said giving him the invitation. I gave it to him then drove to the party.
The party was in full swing, everyone was having a blast. A few hours went by and we were dancing as a group, but then a slow song came. Aurora was with Jayden, Anna with Kyle, and me forever alone. This was my cue to leave.
"May I have this dance?" I turned to see the most beautiful sapphire eyes.
I smiled. "You may."
He pulled me closer to him and then he wrapped his arms around my waist as my arms were wrapped around his neck.
"I'm glad you came."
"Me too." He said while spinning me, then he pulled me closer to him.
At least for a night we can be this close, because when the sun goes up this will all be a beautiful dream.
I laid my head on his chest, I never wanted this moment to end, I know we met a month ago, but there's just something about him.
"Is that who in think it is?" Anna asked.
"Yeah, they look so cute together." Aurora said.
He leaned in, but he ended up kissing my cheek. His lips against my skin felt so good.
Ring!
"I have to go, thanks for the dance."
"Sure, say hi to boring history teacher for me." I mentioned.
"It's not her, but think what you want." He said before leaving.
"What happened?" Aurora asked.
"His phone started to ring, he said he had to go, then I said say hi to boring history teacher and he got mad." I sighed.
"Mar-" Anna said but I cut her "I'm fine, that's what cupcakes and alcohol are for." I said before making my way to the bar.
They all just let me be and they went back to dancing. Two hours later I was pretty hammered. I was feeling tired, so I made my way to my car and left the party.
Yes, I know drunk driving is very irresponsible not to mention a death wish, but everyone was busy kissing or dancing.
I finally made it home, I got out of the car and I was pretty much shaking, I didn't noticed Pietro was on his porch.
"Hey neighbor." I waved at him, he got up and walked towards me.
"Are you drunk?"
"No, I'm fine." I said to him.
"Do you have any idea how irresponsible that is, not to mention stupid."
"Well, does it look like I care, I made it home safely." I rolled my eyes.
"Yes, tonight you got lucky, but what happens when luck isn't on your side?"
"Well, we can bite it." I chuckled he was getting annoyed by me.
"Immature, that's what you are." He said in a serious tone.
"I know I'm irresponsible, I know I'm stupid, I know I'm immature. Trust me, I know." I said as tears were falling. "I know that the only reason you tease me is because you know I like you a lot, and because you hate me and want to see me suffer."
"Because the day we met at the bakery I know you felt something, but of course me being your student f*****g changed it all. Then again, I might have confused you liking me for being just nice." I wiped my tears.
He just stood there not knowing what to say.
"But whatever, you can be with boring history teacher, be unhappy with her for the rest of your life."
"And you can shove your Spanish lessons up your ass." I barked.
"I QUIT, I'M TIRED OF GETTING HURT, TIRED OF FEELING LIKE THIS." as I was walking home I got dizzy. And before I knew it everything went dark and I was out.
I woke up around 10 am in a bed that wasn't mine. I looked around then I saw a picture of him and I'm guessing his parents.
"Morning, drunkie." he said while leaning on his doorframe. Why the hell was he only in sweatpants, not that I'm complaining but kinda of hard to see him and not be able to act on it. And to top it all, his body was wet, either shower or sweat, But hot damn.
His eight pack and V line were so defined. Someone help me.
"You done drooling."
"I wasn't drooling." I rolled my eyes.
"Breakfast?"
"Sure."
"Follow me." We both made our way to the kitchen.
"Thanks."
"Welcome."
"After breakfast we need to talk." He said in a serious tone.
"About what?
"About last night."
"What happened Last-" I stopped and memories from last night started to come.
"Can we pretend you didn't hear anything." I said fidgeting in my spot.
"No."
I sighed and finished eating my breakfast. After eating we went to his living room.
"One, I don't hate you. Two, I'm not with Linda anymore. And three, yes I think you're immature, because of they way you act."
"Thanks, and you know who should also get their act together, you."
"You come to my house, you tease me then make up excuses whenever things are getting a bit intense. The next day you act like nothing, and sometimes you act nice, and again you change."
"I'm tired of this, tell me something, do you like me? If you say no, I'll leave you alone and I promise to stay out of your way, and I will transfer out of your class.I need to know, because liking you actually hurts." I couldn't stop the tears from falling.
