I'm Yours Only by Sophie J Brain (latest books to read TXT) 📕

God she was just fantastic, once the secrets were all over he vowed to try and kiss her at every opportunity even if she was as sick as a dog and thought she looked like an ugly bear. Actually in that case he would kiss her extra hard just so she would know that she was still the most beautiful girl in the world.

“Well I had better be going” she said “Thanks for the help”

“It was no problem at all really”

Nicky took a slight step back “Will I be seeing you today?”

Chris laughed “You’re seeing me now”

“You know what I mean cheeky” she scolded “proper seeing you”

“Do you want to?” he asked just to be annoying.

Nicky rolled her eyes “You know I want to dumb-ass”

“Did you just call me a dumb-ass?” Chris tried to look upset but instead just stuck his tongue out.

“Yes” she beamed “You can punish me when you see me later”

'Later' turned out to be about 2 hours, Nicky was walking to the bus stop so she could get home when she heard a car beep behind her. Probably some idiots from her class, they were always beeping at her as they drove past. She waited for the stupid shouts and jeers, which always seem to follow the beeping of the car, but none came so she shrugged and carried on walking.

There was another beep closer to her this time they were obviously trying to be clever and try some joke on her since it seemed like they were crawling along the road behind her. Sighing she turned around and said aggressively “Well this is certainly a new one”

“So sorry I thought you would welcome my company”

Nicky burned a bright red “Oh goodness Chris I didn’t realise it was you I thought it was-”

“Those losers from your maths class” he interrupted

“How did you know?”

“I’ve seen them behaving like a bunch six year olds whenever they go past you”

“Well yes indeed” Nicky let out a long breath as another wave of irritation hit her.

“That did not sound like a very good sigh” he commented “You want a lift?”

Nicky shrugged and got into the car. “Good thing you found me here, no one from the school will see us and I can enjoy your company too”

“Hmm half past one” he said tapping the clock “bit early for you to be leaving school isn’t it?”

“I could very well say the same thing to you” she mirrored him and tapped the clock “Aren’t you supposed to stay until the end of school time?”

“In theory I don’t have to” he answered “but I have done for the past five weeks, well actually I’ve been staying until about five o’clock for the past five weeks. So I decided I was allowed to head off a bit early today. Now what’s your excuse?”

Nicky shrugged and ran her hand up his “No lessons, no need to stay there to do work when I can go home and do it”

Chris nodded “What work do you have?”

“Not much really, a bit of English to do and I need to learn this Drama script but nothing that can’t be put off for a few days”

“You shouldn’t put off work until the last minute” he said trying to scold but she knew he knew he wasn’t succeeding.

Nicky smiled and glanced around the car noticing a pile of work on the back seat. No wonder he was always staying way past school time if that was his daily work load, she’d never get sleep if that was the amount of work she had to do each day. She moved her head back and stared out the window. In the distance she saw a small bird flying across the sky making her smile, she loved nature; it was so peaceful and nice. More than anything she wanted to be on the beach right now. Well maybe not at that time of day, a bit later would be nice so she could lay on a blanket and just stare up at the night sky or she could go waist deep in the sea then have someone come up behind her, turn her around and kiss her deeply. The imagine seemed so nice that she let out a contented sigh and closed her eyes.

“You sighed, my lady?”

She opened one of her eyes to look at him “Was thinking about a nice image”

“What image?”

“Me on a beach watching the stars” she smiled again as the image came into her mind.

“That does sound nice” Chris smiled and squeezed her thigh

They both stayed in a state of pure dreaminess and contentment for ten more minutes until the car pulled up outside his house and the two of them was forced back to reality. Nicky glanced around and turned to him with a slightly amused expression “I thought you were going to be taking me home?”

He smiled as he got out of the car causing Nicky's heart to skip a bit “I thought you might like to learn your lines here”

She laughed as she got out of the car and then looked at him “I'm sure you did, I guess I shall have to stay here now”

“Oh, my dear, please don't make it sound like such a chore” he smirked.

Nicky opened her mouth to give him a suitable retort, because well it would be unsuitable for him to beat her in a battle of wits even if she was rather enjoying herself, but then the strangest thing happened. She looked at him and her attention was caught by his eyes, his wonderful sparkling blue eyes, causing her breath to completely leave her body for a moment and her whole heart to jump with emotion.

“Nicky are you ok?” Chris asked.

“Yeah I'm fine” She said distractedly

“Are you sure? You sound rather breathless”

Nicky decided that a quick kiss and a hug was answer enough and besides she couldn't seem to find her voice. She felt like she had just undergone a transformation and the most terrifying thing about it was she had no idea what she had transformed into or what had caused it.

Chapter Four

I love you. The words were simple enough, just three tiny simple words that people said to each other every day. Nicky had said them to her mother before she had left for school that morning and to her father the night before but it was different wasn't it? It was easier to say it to your parents and well she was sure they loved her back, sure she would hear the words back, saying it to a lover well that was a different thing altogether.

She'd never said it to anyone herself but she had heard it before, Greg had said it to her before they had broken up, in fact it had been one of the true reasons for the break up, and she remembered all too well the expression on his face when she had been unable to say it back. That look, of pain and rejection that had haunted her for weeks even after knowing that Greg hadn't truly been in love with her, only in love with them being together, and had moved on swiftly enough. He had even told her he had made a mistake and he didn’t love her so there were no hard feelings.

Nicky swallowed as she walked over to the Maths block in her school, she knew there was no mistake for her though and she knew when she told him those three simple words her whole soul would be on the table for him and she had no idea what she would do if he didn't take it. If she had misunderstood the feelings he had for her that would be utterly mortifying.

They had been seeing each other for just over a month and a half and it had been amazing and like nothing she had ever experienced before. It was like the whole world had suddenly been lit up and now she suddenly knew what was important, her and Chris' relationship. Of course it still had to be a secret when they were in school or out in the street after school but once they were at his home they were able to act like a proper couple and that was what kept her strong through the rest of it, the knowledge that in just two months when school was finished and they could be together properly. Then it would always be like that where ever they were.

The maths block loomed in the distance and she slowed down a bit as nerves hit her, what if she told him and he didn't feel the same way? What if he just looked away and said something like “Well you know I'm very fond of you but love is a bit of a large step”? She wouldn't be able to bare it if that happened; she actually thought her heart would break into pieces if he didn't say he loved her back. Nicky wasn't sure why she loved him so much there wasn't really a reason if she was going to be honest. Of course there was all the reason why she liked him, he was kind, caring, attractive, and loving and just generally a very nice person but that wasn't the same reason that she loved him. Her love for him couldn't be explained it was just what it was, a pure raging emotion that ran though her whole body and just became a part of who she was. She was Nicola Bennett and she was totally in love with Christopher Williams for no reason other than that’s just how life should be.

He was a rambling idiot and so was she, he even found her most annoying habits endearing; like the fact that she always said sorry for everything even things she had no control over, like the weather. He was romantic just like her and so they were forever getting dreamy about the slightest thing and discussing the future, not in a weird way just in a “what if..” kind of way. In short, their time together and the prospects for their future time together, were simply perfect.

With this in mind her courage for the situation had been refreshed and Nicky started walking towards the Maths block, almost running if truth be told, she was walking so fast that she didn't notice a woman with short blonde hair until she had barged right into her.

“I'm so sorry” Nicky said quickly feeling like a complete idiot.

“That’s quite alright” the woman smiled “No harm done. I wonder if you can help me.”

“Of course” Nicky replied “It’s the least I can do, what’s wrong?”

“I'm trying to find M4”

Nicky blinked “Mr Peel's classroom?”

“Oh perhaps I'm wrong” she tilted her head trying to remember “Oh yes he did say it was someone else's classroom and he was just using it while training”

Nicky felt something in her chest lurch, Chris was using Mr Peel's classroom for this year before finishing off his full teacher training. This woman looked like she was in her early twenties and was very attractive what did she want with Chris? She put a smile on her face to hide her insecurities “Oh you want Mr Williams?”

“Yes that’s right, can you show me how to get there?”

Nicky nodded and indicated for her to follow “I was just going down to the Maths block anyway, so how long have you known Mr Williams?”

“Oh quite a few years” her eyes narrowed “Why do you ask?”

Nicky smiled tightly, she had been asking because she wanted to know how this woman knew Chris and how well they knew each other but of course she couldn't say that so she just murmured “I'm just nosey I guess, Mr Williams is a great teacher and he helped me out after I had suffered through a bad experience. If you're close with him you should be
