“Just to make sure that we are on the same page, you aren’t actually going to tutor me, are you?” I asked as I walked into Liam’s house that Friday night. Liam chuckled and pulled me into his arms, kissing me and pulled me back onto his couch with him.

            “No, not that kind of tutoring,” Liam smirked. I blushed and let out an embarrassing giggle that made Liam smirk yet more. “But maybe I’ll teach you a few lessons,” He raised his eyebrows at me.

            I blushed yet more and wrapped my arms around Liam’s neck, kissing him deeply and then pushing my head into his neck, “Do you really have a maid?”

            “Yes, I wouldn’t lie to your parents,”

            “Why have I never seen her?” I asked.

            “She only comes when I call her,” He explained.

            “What about your sister? Will she actually come over?”

            “Yes, I would like you to meet her,” He grinned, “Plus, I think she would actually enjoy knowing about our relationship,”

            “What? Mr. Payne…you said…”

            “What did you call me?”

            “Uh,” I mumbled, “Sorry, Liam. I mean, we shouldn’t tell anyone about us. I thought you said that absolutely no one could know,”

            “My older sister, Ruth, knows a little bit about student teacher relationships like ours,” He explained, running his fingers over my collar bone.

            “Oh,” I breathed, “Why?”

            “Well, when she was about your age, one of her teachers had a thing for her,” Liam sighed, “She was a hopeless romantic already, and having a teacher lusting after her did her in for good. However, they weren’t very careful about things and they lost control of the situation. Her teacher was forced to move away and she was mocked for the rest of her high school career,” My heart pounded. Was that going to happen to Liam and I? I had been so sure we could keep our relationship a secret, but now I was questioning everything all together. “But there was light at the end of the tunnel for Ruth. She and Mr. Landon are now happily married.” A small wave of relief washed over me, but I was still scared. Terrified that Liam and I would be like Ruth and her husband.

            “What if we end up like them?” I asked timidly.

            “Listen, Zayn, I’m not stupid. I am playing this as smart as I can to keep us hidden,” Liam said, kissing me, “Do you understand?”

            “Of course,” I said, kissing back.

            “Now, what do you want to do? I could finish teaching you how to swim? Or perhaps, we could order Chinese food and watch a movie?”

            “Chinese food,” I mumbled, “Definitely the Chinese food,”

            He laughed, his torso shaking and pressing tighter to mine before he picked me up off of his lap and set me on the couch next to him, “Okay, babe, let me go order the food and then I’ll be back so you can pick out the movie?”

            I nodded and watched him leave the room, the muscles in his back showing a bit through his rather tight shirt. Sitting alone on the couch, I took the time to look around, examining the pictures and the gaming system under his television.
