Rose POV

"Come on Rose, you can do it. Don't chicken out. Its now or never." I whispered as I lifted my fist to knock on Megan's door. I waited, letting my mind drift to the redhead that made my heart beat fast, made me nervous, and made my palms sweat.

I was shaken out of my thoughts when the bouncy redhead opened the door. "Hey, Rose. I was just thinking about you." Really? I hope it was a good thought. She waved me into her room and I followed her in, shutting the door behind me. I didn't want anyone to walk in on what I might be telling her. "Really? What about me?" I ask while flopping down on her bed, right next to her. Our legs were touching and I could feel all of the heat from my body rise to my face. I ducked my head to hide the blush on my cheeks. I felt the bed move a bit then I felt Megan's arm wrap around my shoulders, I tensed then forced myself to relax.

"Rose," Megan asked with concern lacing through her voice.

I played with a loose strand on my short jean shorts, I couldn't look up. I needed a minute to get myself together, but I didn't have one. If I looked up into those piercing green eyes, I would lose all of the courage I have. I forced myself to calm down and look at her.

"Who is he?" Megan asked with a huge smile on her face.

"Huh?" I asked not even hearing her the first time. Damn, I did it. I got lost in those beautiful eyes.

"Your new crush. Who is he?" she asks again. She's so close, I could just move a little and we would be kissing.

Megan thought I was crushing on someone, which is true, just not the gender she was thinking.

"It's not what you think. It is a new crush but it's not a guy. More like the complete opposite. Megan, I have to tell you a few things and I need you to let me finish before you say anything and don't tell anyone. What we say in this room stays in this room" She nods. "I need to ask you something first, before I start talking. "

"Shoot." She says while turning her body so I can look her in the eye.

"I need to know that no matter the outcome, I can still talk to you about anything?" I look into her eyes as she nods. "Okay. I'm just going to come right out and say it. I like you, Megan."

"I like you too Rose. But I don't under-" I cut her off.

"No, I mean I like, like you. As in more than a friend. I have liked you ever sense I first saw you. Every day that you have been tutoring Sage and I has been torture for me. I have been trying to convince myself it's just a little, innocent crush, but it's not. I'm rambling I'm sorry I do that when I'm nervous" when I finally stopped talking, I looked up and saw nothing but love in her eyes.

"I get what you're saying. I like you too. I have been trying to convince myself of the same thing but this can't happen for a few reasons. 1) the age difference, 2) I would get fired and 3) we would have to sneak around. If I have a girl-" I cut her off by kissing her. We kiss for a few minutes, then it starts heating up. I move my hands to her waist, playing with the hem on her shirt. She reaches down, drabs my ass, and pulls me closer so my legs are wrapped around her waist and I'm sitting in between her legs. She runs her hands up and down my legs I moan into the kiss. I thrust my hips into hers as I take off her shirt, leaving her in a tank top and a very short jean skirt. We jump apart from each other when someone knocks on the door.

"Okay. So we will talk about the reading assignment later?" Megan says s she opens the door while giving me the 'we will talk about this later' look. I nod and walk out the door. I won't be sleeping very well tonight. She got me so 'wound' up and now I won't be able to sleep until I 'scratch my itch'. I sigh then got to my room. This is going to be a long night.
