Chapter 18
Chapter 18
I sit on the edge of my bed, the evenings events running through my mind. God I cannot believe how
that was, how good he was.
Pulling out my phone I open my texts, find Lucas’ contact
‘I can’t stop thinking about tonight’ I smile to myself as I hit send
It only took a minute until my phone pinged
‘and what parts about tonight, Miss Sevenfold?’ I can see his smirk, he doesn’t even need to be in front
of me, I just know.
‘oh, you know Sir, the part where I was completely at your mercy’ I bite my lip as I recall being
blindfolded and bound on his bed
‘Lizzie if you get my mind thinking about that I might have to sneak into your bedroom and let you relive
it’
Oh god, if only. Having him here right now really would be incredible, the things we’d do.
‘I’m going to sleep now Sir, before you get me too worked up, dream of me xo’
I set my phone down, knowing if I read his reply, I won’t stop messaging him and then I’ll never get any
sleep.
I wake up, the light straining through my curtains and burning my eyes.
My dreams were full of Lucas, of everything from the night more and everything we had to come.
I pick up my phone and scroll my contacts finding my best friends name and hitting dial, she picks up
on the 3 ring
“why hello stranger, where have you been” That’s Tilly for me, straight to the point
‘Tilly, im so sorry I’ve been an awful friend, I’ve had a lot on, there is actually so much I need to catch
you up on” I laugh, I’ve really missed her voice
“say no more, usual spot?”
God, I love her
“Yes, usual spot, shall we say an hour?”
We agree on the time and hang up. I jump out of bed and grab my clean clothes, changing quickly and
doing my hair.
I check my time on my phone, time to leave
Walking up to the coffee shop and seeing Tilly sat towards the back made my heart burst, I have
missed her so much. As I approach her, she pulls me into a really tight hug
“lizzie, I’ve missed you so much” she smiles as she pulls away sitting back down
“I’ve missed you too, im really sorry I’ve been a ghost recently, I’ve kind of being preoccupied with
some stuff” I smile embarrassed as an image of lucas pops into my mind
Sure Lizzie, not preoccupied with some stuff, more like someone.
“by the look that’s on your face right now I’m going to guess there’s a man involved” Tilly winks at me
as I tried to hide my face
“is it really that obvious?” I groan, so much for trying to hide it
“I can read you like a book Lizzie, now spill!” She clasps her hands together on the table in front of her
Now think Lizzie, probably not a great idea to start with the fact that he is my teacher, probably not a
good idea to mention that at all
“Er, well I met him at college” I mean, im not lying, I did meet him at college. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“He was really cold at first, making my life a living hell, but I challenged him every time, and I guess we
just clicked” I smile once more at the thought of Lucas.
“You mean the sexual frustration finally became enough” I could feel my face go bright red as Tilly
laughs, she always had to be right
“oh god, Tilly” I groan embarrassed all over again
“now this I really need to know! How was it?”
Now this is classic Tilly, wanting all the gossip. This is the best thing about us, it doesn’t matter how
much time passes we are always able to pick right back where we left off, that’s best friends for you.
“it was something else entirely” I twirl a strand of hair around my finger thinking about every detail
Tilly smiles brightly at me “im so happy for you Lizzie, sounds like you’re doing really well”
I think back to the last couple weeks, the way Lucas and I just seemed to get each other from the start,
how the frustration between us led to something some incredible.
Something I really don’t want to end.
“Now im really starting to think that you’re overthinking” She offers a supportive brush of my hand as I
glance up at her
“you know me, always overthinking, just things have been amazing with him, im just not sure what he
wants, or even what I want, it’s all still so new” I drink some of my coffee trying to distract myself
“just take it as it comes, okay, Enjoy the here and now. Why worry about the future when you seem so
happy with how things are for now” She stands up as she finishes her coffee.
“Thank you, Tilly, you really do set my mind at ease, please let’s not leave so much time next time”
We leave the coffee shop, hugging before going in opposite directions.
As I get home Im filled with a new wave of happiness and content, excited to see Lucas in college
tomorrow it’s hard to contain my excitement.
I get into the house and find a small package on the floor, Strange. Post never arrive this late.
I turn the small brown package around and see my hand name in beautiful handwriting.
I open it up quickly, anticipating what is inside.
On top of dark purple tissue paper, I see a small white card
‘Still thinking about you Pet, Wear these tomorrow and we can have some more fun xo
