Chapter 17:
This week went by so fast and now it's Friday and I'm supposed to go to Seattle with Christian after school. Christian stayed round the whole week. Sometimes I come home and he's already in his sweats watching Dr Phil or something. He says it's garbage but I know he secretly loves it or he wouldn't watch it all the time. Jose was arrested earlier for battery and attempted rape and his sentence is still being sorted out. He was one of my best friends and it upsets me greatly to think of him being in jail but what he did was inexcusable and I hate him for it. He was supposed to be there for me, I just hope I'll never see him again. I'm waiting for Christian outside the school when he comes walking out with some red head teacher, he's said something and she's doing that "Oh you're so funny, have sex with me" sort of laugh and I immediately get jealous. What the fuck is he doing talking to Miss Big tits? He says goodbye and I see her check him out so I walk over to him and attack his face. I wrap my arms around his neck and run my fingers through his hair, kissing him as lustfully as I can. I let go of him and look over to redhead who has a disappointed face on. Yeah that's right, he's mine. I wipe my mouth and leave Christian standing there with his hair all messy and his eyes wide open. He catches up with me and takes hold of my hand, looking smug, then we get in his car. "What got you all complacent?" I ask. He chuckles. "What?"
"Well, either your aim was to give me a massive hard on in front of my fellow colleagues or you were jealous and wanted to make a point." He smirks, starting the car and driving off towards my apartment.
"You think you've got me all figured out don't you?"
"Yep." He says, popping the p. I scoff. "Ok, why did you do it then?"
"Can't a girl kiss her weirdly gorgeous boyfriend when she wants to?" He laughs.
"Weirdly gorgeous?" He asks. I laugh.
"Yeah, you're so pretty it's unnatural dude. You're like, chiseled by angles." I say truthfully. He is gorgeous. He laughs hard.
"Chiseled by angles?" I nod and he laughs again. "Anyway, you sure it had nothing to do with Jennifer?" I huff.
"It has a name?" I say, folding my arms. He laughs.
"Ahh, so you are jealous." He leans over and puts his hand on mind. "I got you all figured out baby. You can't hide anything from me." He smirks.
"Oh yeah? I'm only using you to get closer to your business so that I can steal it. I'm an undercover spy getting the dirt on you. I'm actually a guy and my name is actually Neil Clarke." I say deadpan and he bursts out laughing.
"Oh, how you make me laugh Miss Steele." We get to my apartment and I unlock the door.
"I won't be a minute." He pouts and crosses his arms. "What?"
"I was hoping I could help you choose your clothes again." I smile and reach out my hand, he takes it grinning and pulls me into my bedroom. I take my suitcase off of the top of my closet and throw it on the bed.
"Right. What first?" I ask He sits down on the bed and crosses his legs.
"Underwear?" I raise my eyebrows at his suggestion and he smiles mischievously at me. I shrug and pull open the top drawer. I move aside all my granny panties and take out the ones from the bottom of my drawer. The forbidden, sexy lingerie. I take out a black lacy bra and thong and throw them in. "Aren't you gonna model them for me?" He swats my ass and I turn around.
"Well you're the only one that's gonna see me wear them so I don't need to. No doubt you'll watch me dress because you're a pervert."
"And proud." He winks at me and I laugh, reaching into the drawer and pulling out some lacy blue panties that are completely see through. He holds them up when I throw them in the suitcase. "Oh I like these a lot." He smiles cheekily at me and I grab them off him.
"Touch them again and you're waiting in the car." He holds his hands up in defeat and lies back on my bed. I put a few more pieces in there much to Christian's delight and he helps me choose what clothes to wear. Including a stolen plum dress from Kate, I'm assuming it's for his parents house that he hasn't asked me about yet. When we finish I make sure everything is turned off and I lock the door on our way out. He turns on the radio in the car and funnily enough 'Beast of Burden' comes on. We look at each other with knowing smiles.
"Ahh, good times."
"It was last week." I laugh at him and he shrugs. We both start to sing.
I'll never be your beast of burden
My back is broad but it's a hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me
I'll never be your beast of burden
I've walked for miles my feet are hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me
Am I hard enough
Am I rough enough
Am I rich enough
I'm not too blind to see
We scream it and laugh. The next song comes on and it's 'Love Me Like You Do' by Ellie Goulding. I sit back and close my eyes. "I love this song." When Ellie starts singing I sing along , pouring my heart into it.
You're the light, you're the night
You're the color of my blood
You're the cure, you're the pain
You're the only thing I wanna touch
Never knew that it could mean so much, so much
You're the fear, I don't care
'Cause I've never been so high
Follow me through the dark
Let me take you past our satellites
You can see the world you brought to life, to life
So love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
Fading in, fading out
On the edge of paradise
Every inch of your skin is a holy grail I've got to find
Only you can set my heart on fire, on fire
Yeah, I'll let you set the pace
'Cause I'm not thinking straight
My head's spinning around I can't see clear no more
What are you waiting for?
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do (like you do)
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
When I finish the song I'm out of breath and Christian takes his hands off the wheel momentarily to applaud. "Sounds like that song was made for us." He says lovingly and I know he can't see it so I grin ear to ear and I know I'm blushing. "You also have an amazing voice. Is there nothing you can't do?"
"I can't pee standing up." I say deadpan and he laughs heartily. I love that sound. We spend the rest of the journey chatting and singing and laughing and I've never had so much fun in a car, an incredibly sleek and expensive car at that. It all becomes clear to me that I love him, I really do love him. I couldn't imagine my life without him and I've only known him a couple of weeks. I've been worrying about what I would say when he says it to me and now I know exactly what I'm going to say. He pulls up the driveway of a massive house. No, it's not a house it's a mansion. Surely he can't live here?
"This is where you live?" He looks at me and takes my hand.
"Nope. I used to but not anymore." I look at him confused.
"Well then who does live here?" He smiles at me and I eye him suspiciously.
"My parents." What?!
