I got my schedule on the first day of school, and what do you know? I start the day off with Derek. This was going to be fun. I made sure that I was ten minutes late for his class, this would give him the opportunity to not only appreciate what I was wearing, but also have an excuse for me to see him after class. When I walked in, it was obvious I wasn't missing much. He was going over the class rules that I had heard for two years already. When I walked into the classroom, his face turned bright red, I had to bite my cheek to keep myself from laughing. To hide his embarrassment and flush, he got angry and made it seem like he was upset about my interruption of the class. He went on to lecture me on starting the year off wrong, and how I knew better. I finally heard the words that I had been waiting for, he was no idiot, and he knew why I arrived late.
"Ms. Garcia, please see me after class so we can discuss this further. I believe you have a free period following my class."
"Yes sir, whatever you say." I replied with sarcasm in my voice. This year might be even more entertaining than I had originally thought.
At the end of class I patiently waited for the rest of the students to clear out of the classroom. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Derek glared at me just in case someone was to look into his classroom and shut the door. When the door was finally shut, a smirk slowly appeared on his face, softening his features.
"You little temptress." He said laughing. "You did this on purpose didn't you?"
"Who, me? I would never do anything intentional to interrupt your class Sr. Morgan."
He gave me the most adorable smile and started walking towards me. I am not a gross person, I am not a person that enjoys PDA. However, when it comes to Derek I imagine myself everywhere with him. The intensity of my lust for him is so strong within me that I cannot help but be okay with the most provocative setting; as long as I am with this man of my dreams, I would be anywhere. Once he finally reached me, he double checked to make sure the door was locked and the blinds were down. The next thing I knew, I was against the wall and experiencing the most longing and tingling kiss I have ever experienced in my life. The thing I love about being with this amazing man is that every kiss is better than the last. The intensity gets stronger, the fireworks get bigger, and the need gets deeper into my core. Derek is and will always be the love of my life; nothing, nothing could ever change this.
Later during lunch Trina began interrogating me.
"What happened? Why did he keep you? Did you get detention? It's the first day of school for god's sake."
I hated this, I hated lying to my best friend. Maybe I should discuss this with Derek, maybe he would understand and would be okay with the one person (other than him) that I count on completely knowing my secret. I know she wouldn't tell anyone, I know that she would understand, and deep down I think someone knowing about this would give me the satisfaction of knowing it was a real relationship and not just some stupid affair you see on a bad Lifetime movie. After school that day I had 'volunteered' to be a part of the students that stick around during detention to help the other students do community service. Originally I had signed up last year in order to put it on my college applications, however since I know for a fact that I am going to Northwestern (early acceptance), I was going to cross my name off the list. That was before this summer and before I found out that Derek got stuck being the adult in charge of the group. This meant that I would be able to spend more time with him, plus I got to tell my parents that it ended two hours earlier than it did to get some prime boyfriend time at his apartment.
It was the first day of school so the only people in detention that day were me, Derek, this stoner who had hours he still had to finish from last year, and a girl that got caught cheating on a prerequisite test. Community service today was cleaning out the janitor's closet and cleaning the locker rooms before fall sports began. Once we got started, I had put my headphones in and just got to work. Every once and a while I would sneak a glance at Derek but there was no way I was going to get people suspicious this early in the year. I went as slow as possible, and since I was the only actual one working other than Derek, once the kids in detention were done with their time, Derek and I had an excuse to stay later together.
Once the coast was clear, we made our way to his classroom and turned the lights out.
"You have been driving me crazy all day Baby Girl."
"Oh have I now?"
"You have no idea what you do to me, all I want to do when you are around is grab you and show everyone how lucky I am."
"Aww my chocolate Adonis you are too sweet, but you know I'm not exactly the talk of these hallowed halls."
"On the contrary baby girl, have you seen the way the guys are gawking at you this year? They've noticed, and if they notice anymore I might have to show them who you belong to."
"Oh handsome, don't you know why I haven't noticed? Because you are the only man within a million miles of this place that I have ever had eyes for. You are my everything and always have been. Ever since I came to this school, you are the only person I have noticed. You are the only person I ever want to notice. The other boys do not stand a chance in hell, you are the only man of my life."
"Mmmm the way you talk to me."
"I love you Derek Morgan.
"Baby girl I know you said that this summer when you were caught up in the moment, but you don't have to move so fast if you aren't ready"
"Derek you are the love of my life."
"I love you too Pen."
The next thing I knew we were in the locker room. Derek put his coat down on the work bench and laid me down on top of it. He slowly began to kiss his way down my body starting at my forehead. God the way he set me on fire, the way he made me want him, it is more than I have ever experienced and more than I could ever have imagined. He took my dress and bra off and started slowly kissing down my chest and torso. I couldn't take it anymore, I flipped us over. I needed to taste him, I needed to feel him. I quickly removed his shirt and kissed every inch of his exposed chest and abs.
The next hour was a wonderful and perfect blur. After we laid together for about twenty minutes cuddling and talking about everything under the sun. I finally had the courage to bring Trina up.
"Derek I know that no one can find out about this. I never want us to be forced apart."
"Me neither Pen."
"Right but I was wondering…"
"You want to tell Trina don't you?"
The way this man knew everything was thinking both excited and scared me at the same time.
"Well yeah, she is my best friend and I just can't stand keeping this from her any longer."
"I trust your judgment Pen, if you think we can trust her that is good enough for me.
"Seriously, how did I get so lucky?
"I ask myself that every day baby girl."
We finally built up enough strength to get dressed. I waited for him to lock up and he followed me home to make sure I got there alright. I explained to my mom that there was more cleaning than we had anticipated and I had felt bad leaving it unfinished. I then proceeded to go to my room and make a coffee date for the next day with my best friend. It is about time she knows who my heart belongs to.
