My parents stood there shocked with their mouths hanging open. I didn't move and didn't release myself from Seth. I was horrified that my parents caught the end of our little "show". They finally blinked and turned to leave. They took one last look before completely shutting the door behind them. I released my hands and legs from around him.
"You need to go. My parents can't know who you are. If the guys find out then make them promise not to tell anyone. Especially your sister. She can never find out and neither can your mother. We can't make this any worse by letting anyone else know." I explained.
"I know. I will do my best to keep the others out of my head. If your parents need to know tell them. It's not worth you having to be in trouble all on your own." Seth told me.
He got himself dressed and left through the open window. I got my clothes on as I watched him leave. It was hard to believe that my parents would walk in at a time like that. I only hoped they didn't realize that it was Seth that was laying on top of me. I prayed that it was too dark for them to even piece it together. There was a knock at my door. I walked over to open it. My parents stood there, looking down.
"You guys can come in if you want." I said.
"Thanks sweetie. We need to talk to you." Mom said.
"Who the hell was that laying on top of you?" Dad demanded as we all sat in my room.
"I don't think you guys should know who that was. It's none of your business anyway." I said.
"We know you want to protect whoever the boy was, but I think it'd be for the best if we could tell his parents what you two were caught doing up here." Mom explained more calmly.
"No mom. It's not worth it for him to get into any trouble. I will take the blame, but I will not become a tattle tell." I said.
Mom and dad shared a look. I knew they were thinking of a particular someone. I just prayed they didn't think of the right someone. I waited for their next move.
"How long have you been having relations with boys?" Mom asked.
"That isn't something I want to talk about with you guys." I said.
"I just want to make sure you are being safe." Mom told me.
"I just don't want you doing that here ever again." Dad said half under his breathe.
"If you must know, that was the first time I ever had sex with anyone." I said, feeling fully embarrassed at this point.
"It was that damned Lahote boy wasn't it?!" Dad practically yelled.
"Yeah dad. It was Paul. He had finally seduced me and snuck in to the house just so we could have sex." I said with way more sarcasm than necessary and an eye roll.
Dad was furious about that, but mom managed to stay cool about it. I knew I'd be in a lot of trouble. I just wanted to get to the punishment already. The suspense was killing me and I was not going to tell them that it was Seth.
"So what is my punishment?" I asked.
"You are grounded until further notice." Mom said. "Go to school and come directly home. No friends over and no boyfriend until you tell us who it was that you were with tonight."
"Fair enough. What if I decide not to tell you guys who it was?" I asked.
"Well if you decide not to tell us, then we will find a way to figure it out on our own." Dad told me.
"Okay. Good luck with that. So unless the guy comes forward to tell you himself, I highly doubt you'll ever figure out who it really is." I said.
"I mean how could you do that to Seth?" Mom asked.
"Mom you don't need to worry about Seth. He is going to be just fine." I said.
They both walked out after that. They didn't say anything else. I was left to lay in bed with my own thoughts. I wondered how long it'd take for them to actually figure out I was sleeping with Seth. Of course dad felt furious, but he wanted me to stay his sweet little girl. Mom knew this was going to happen sooner or later. She said that I reminded her of herself at that age.
I couldn't sleep or relax all night long. I kept thinking about Seth. I wondered if Seth felt this anxiousness or the satisfaction I now felt. Knowing that my parents could find out it was him, but knowing we had our first time together and knowing how special it was. It was the best feeling and the worst feeling mixed together.
