HE WALKS SLOWLY TOWARDS me, with an indescribable emotion on his face. I try to take a step back, but he's quick to hold my hand and stop my movement.

"Uh... Mmm..."

He chuckles.

"It's fine... Maybe one day, when I trust you enough, I'll be able to show you what's behind that door... It holds a lot of secrets, that I'm willing to share with you, when I know you're ready."

He strokes my cheek lovingly.

I take in a deep breath and let it out slowly.

"Till then." I say simply.

I release my hand from his hold and walk away.

When I get to the kitchen, the table is already set. Wow, that was fast?

"I hope you don't mind, but for the evening, we'll be having Croque monsieur."

I giggle nervously.

"What's that?"

"Oh it's just like a sandwich, with a really fancy name."

I nod.

Take my seat at the table, while he takes his too, and we dig in.

I shut my eyes and moan from the burst of flavor, my taste buds are dancing happily...

"You like?"

I hum, cos my mouth is full.

He laughs.

"This was one of the things my mother taught me how to make, and since it's faster to prepare, I decided to make it for you... Plus, it's getting late, I didn't want to keep you."

"Thank you, and this tastes divine."

He smiles.

"I'm really sorry, for prying... I didn't know..."

He cuts in,

"You don't have to be, I told you to explore, okay? I'm not mad, at all."

He places a hand on mine, and gives it a small reassuring squeeze.

I nod.

After devouring the meal, Thomas takes me home, and I had to make him park a few houses away from mine, so he does not see the exact building where I stay.

I'm sure everyone is asleep, so I try to get into the house as quiet, as I can.

"Why are you home so late, Ana?"

I stop in my tracks and turn to see my dad sitting in the living room,

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... It won't repeat itself."

He walks to me,

"I'll take your word for it Ana."

He taps my shoulder and begins to walk towards the stairs.

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

"And Ana?"

"Yes dad?"

"Be safe out there kiddo... I wish I can protect you, but in all honesty, I can't all the time, especially when I don't know where you are."

"I will dad, good night."

He smiles half-heartedly and walks away.

I need sleep! Plus I have school tomorrow... Did I do my assignments? Oh, shit!

**Next Day**

I'm currently playing with my pencil, I don't understand a word Mr Ramon - our math teacher - has been saying for the last 30 minutes, since his class started.

If I drop out of school, what paying jobs could I get, that are legal and high paying?... That's right, none! I'm so screwed...

"Psst!"

I hear the sound and just when I'm about to turn in the direction of the sound, a paper ball lands on my forehead.

"Ow!"

"Ms Marshall, is there something you would like to share with my class?"

I flush a deep crimson,

All eyes are on me, at this point... But, one stands out, the only person trying to Stiffle her laughter, with a bright neon hair color - Janelle.

Mr Ramon goes on with his class, and thankfully he didn't ask me to come out and explain anything, cos I don't know shit!

When I hear the psst sound again, I turn towards the direction the sound came and Janelle is rolling another paper ball, I'm guessing is meant for me.

I cock my brow at her, and when she looks up, she realizes she's been caught, so she swiftly acts like she was looking for something on the floor.

What a psychopath!

Finally, it's the end of one of the longest lessons of my life! But that means the preparation of another.

I'm packing my stuff to head out for my next class,

"Hullo!"

I shriek!

"What is wrong with you?"

I try to steady my breaths.

"Nothing... I'm just bored."

"I can see that... The last time I saw you, you were blonde."

"I'm killing the new look, huh?"

"Totally."

I say in a sarcastic tone.

"So, ..."

"What?"

"I was thinking... Since we're F.I.T.M, can I come over to yours, I'm so bored."

"No."

"You didn't even think about it."

"Hmm... Okay, let me think."

I place a finger on my chin and narrow my eyes, like I'm thinking hard.

"Still, No."

"I'll just let you think about it."

She says and walks away.

"I already have!"

She turns and winks at me.

Did crazy ville, lose one of its inhabitants? What's her deal? I don't need friends.

"Hey, Ana."

I look up,

"Hi, Matthew."

"Can we talk?"

"Actually, I'm running late for a class. Maybe later?"

"Sure, that's fine."

I nod and walk briskly towards my next class.

AFTER SERVING DETENTION, I'm walking past the parking lot, towards my bicycle, when I hear my name. I turn around and find Matthew walking over to me.

"Hey." he says.

"Hey... You're still here?"

"Yeah I had practice and I wanted to talk to you."

I nod.

"Have you been avoiding me?"

"Mm... No,"

He chuckles.

"You have, right?"

"I've been busy, you know with work and school, plus serving detention."

"So, I'll just go straight to the point... What do you want?"

"I don't understand."

"Us... Do you want an us?"

I'm taken aback by his question.

"I... I don't know."

"I thought the time we spent together, meant something."

He has a pained expression on his face.

"I'm sorry."

"For what?" he asks exasperatedly.

"For leading you on and wasting your time."

"Ana do you need time to think?"

"I'm sure Matt."

He clenches his teeth and nods repeatedly.

"Quick question, does this have anything to do with your boss?"

My eyes widen in surprise.

"I guess I have my answer then... I never stood a chance. Goodbye, Anastasia."

He says, and walks away.

And for some unknown reason, I feel my chest tighten.

I get on my bicycle and ride as fast, as I can, home. I get flashes of the time, I really used to crush on Matthew and now, I don't feel a thing for him, because my heart beats for another.

When I get home, daisy is watching TV and my dad is home early, because he felt a bit under the weather.

I try to take a nap, but I can't...

There's just one person on my mind, Thomas.

I wonder what's behind that door, how important it is... He said he will share it with me, when he thinks I'm ready, but how would he know I'm ready?

I just have to convince him, that I'm ready.

I don't have work today, so I guess I will have to pay him a visit.

First obstacle, my dad... Second obstacle, money.

But, if I can convince my dad to give me some, that will be killing two birds with one stone.

I rush downstairs,

"Dai, where's dad?"

She doesn't even look up from her movie.

"He's in his room."

"Oh, yeah..."

Why didn't I check there first? I guess the excitement was just too much.

I knock on his door and open,

"hey dad, how are you feeling?"

He's sitting on a couch in his room, with a book in his hands.

"I feel better, so much better."

"Oh okay."

"Do you need something? Or do you want to talk about something?"

This is my chance.

"Dad can I go to the mall?"

"The mall?... Have you seen the time?"

"I know, I don't plan on going to just the mall. I want to go to the park, the fair, and just relieve all the stress, and be a normal teenager."

He sighs.

"Ana, ..."

"Dad, please."

I pull my best puppy eyes, and pout to add an extra effect.

"Okay, but please, be safe."

"Yes dad! Thank you."

"I suppose you need some money?"

I grin and nod.

"I hope this will do."

I take the money,

"Just right... Thanks dad!"

I dash out of his room and into mine, to get ready.

I wear a padded bra, to give my tiny boobs, an extra lift... A tight t-shirt and a thigh length skirt.

"Are you going out?"

"Yes."

I place a kiss on her forehead and hurry out.

Minutes later, and I'm sitting outside Thomas's gate.

I'm beginning to think this is a bad idea, I went through all that trouble for nothing.

He's probably working all night today... I can't even show up at work, because I don't have a shift.

I'll just wait 10 more minutes, if he's not home, I'll leave.

15 minutes later - yes I decided to wait 30 minutes, but he showed up 5 minutes after my target time... Fate sure supports our union.

"Why are you out here?"

"I came to see you."

"Get in."

After he parks, he opens the door to his house and ushers me in.

"So, what did you want to talk about? Not that I'm not excited to see you or anything... I'm just surprised."

"I almost thought you were working overnight."

"Oh, I planned to, I just remembered I forgot an important document, I needed for something, so I just came to get it."

I nod.

Wasting no time,

I pull his face down to mine and kiss him. He immediately responds, and soon we're kissing wildly, tongues exploring.

He lifts me up and walks to a couch, where he lays me down, our lips not leaving the other.

He grinds on me and, I feel a tingling sensation in my nether region, which makes me moan.

He lifts my t-shirt over my head and unhooks my bra, then fondles my breasts.

Now, I'm nervous, my plan didn't include this, but I'm not willing to stop him.

His lips find my nipple, while his hand glides down till it rests on my thigh. He skims his hand over my thigh, then begins to move it up towards my pantie.

His tongue circles my nipple, and I throw my head back from the sensation. His finger pulls my pantie to the side, and he rubs my clitoris.

"Mmm."

His warm mouth leaves my nipple and I peel my eyes open, but they're quick to shut close, when he sucks on my aching bud.

I moan out, as I convulse, reaching my orgasm.

"Satisfied?" he asks in his rich deep voice.

A lazy smile playing on his lips.

"Yes." I say shyly.

He licks my release and I melt.
