"Studying went well?" Charlie asks as he cuts another piece from his steak and brings the fork up to his lips.
Being mid-drink, I humm in reply around the water-filled glass between my lips.
"You kids are making good progress on the project then?"
Fingers travel up my thigh, over my free hand that rests there, sneakily interlacing with mine. "We got a lot done today, Chief. Found some nice graphics to use for the presentation, too. Compared to some other groups in class, we're still a bit behind though since it's only the two of us." Our clasped hands are being moved up along the inside of my thigh. "We'll probably have to get a few more study-dates in then we ought to finish it, if that's okay with you, sir."
Oblivious, my dad nods in approval and continues to eat.
If he hadn't been so focused on filling his empty stomach, he'd probably notice the flushed cheeks and the fact that both Edward and I were awkwardly using only our forks.
Just by looking a little more closely into our living room, he'd find that there were neither notebooks or pens strewn across the floor like there usually would nor were there laptops and textbooks to be found on the coffee table. And that, in fact, both our backpacks are still laying in the entry by the door, untouched ever since we dropped them there.
Edward and I usually know to be more careful than that.
Even coming off from a long shift and all empty-bellied, my father is usually more observant and in constant cop mode. Especially where boys hanging around with his only daughter of any kind are concerned, and free of supervision no less. Even long before we got together and really were nothing more than study-buddies, he'd had to face my dad's scrutiny and interrogations on a regular basis. It took weeks of flawless behavior on both our parts and a few parental chats to trust the town's good doctor's son enough to us be.
Funnily enough, it was around the same time Edward became my boyfriend and we started spending half our study time fooling around.
His finger follows the seam line of my jeans, adding pressure and sneaking further down as it meets the apex of my thighs. A sigh threatens to escape me, so I'm quick to swallow it down with another long gulp of water.
It's a good thing Charlie is unaware of what's going on under the table, and the most fortunate and welcome coincidence to picked today of all days to play ignorant. Spitting rage for my boyfriend and the prospect of having to finish high school in an all-girls Catholic boarding school for me would be the prize of him finding out about what exactly went down on his favorite recliner only a couple of hours ago.
Thanks for reading, guys! Hope you enjoyed! :)
Fourteen more to go!
