"I don't understand half of it. But, I like the film," I mused when he groaned, his hands covering his eyes.

"Spoken like a true teenager.” Mr Silver sighed as I glanced down at my notes.

I didn't feel as confused, and I told him so.

"Well, you don't have any distractions in a one-to-one, I guess."

I saw him glance at his watch, and I jumped up, not wanting to take up any more of his time.

"I'll work on what you suggested. Do you want me back here in two days?"

He frowned then, pulling out his phone as he studied it carefully.

"Actually, better make it tomorrow. I've got plans after school for the rest of the week that I forgot about, so wecan do tomorrow then, how about Tuesday next week? We can arrange other dates then."

"I can come another time. It doesn't have to be after school." I found myself saying as he cocked an eyebrow at me.

"After school will suffice. I'm sure you can manage tomorrow then Tuesday."

Why was he always so damn authoritative?

"Okay." I smiled meekly before taking one last look at the cosy lounge.

I wondered what he was doing tonight.

"Are you walking home?" He asked with surprise when I began walking down his driveway.

"As opposed to flying? Ha-ha. Bye, Sir."

He closed the door, and I hurried down the drive, unable to stop thinking about earlier with Arden.

I pulled my phone out, biting my lip as I scrolled to my inbox. There was his number.

Do I?

I groaned, aware that I was contemplating jumping Arden's bones, like a hussy. But then, didn't guys do this type of thing all the time? So why wasn't it acceptable for a woman to do it?

My mother's words echoed in my brain then, reminding me of the consequences of teenage sex. Condoms weren't a guarantee, as she constantly reminded me.

Arden: free yet?

Nowayhad he texted me at the same time I was thinking of him. Surely that's fate, right?

Jain: not gonna happen, Charter. Call Eloise...

My finger hovered over the send button before I pressed it, closing my eyes momentarily.

My phone rang immediately, and I answered it with a chuckle.

"You've dialled the wrong number. This is Jain."

"I know, I wantyouin my bed," Arden said hoarsely down the phone as I sucked on my bottom lip.

Maybe we could fuck one time...

"Is that what you think of me?"

"God, you're all I think of."
