The last three months have been the best and the most difficult of my life. After the night I told Bianca everything, we’ve kept our distance at school and never spent time together in town. We drive over an hour away in our own vehicles on the weekends, just so we can spend the time together. We’ve become the best at car sex because Bianca wanted us to save our money for college instead of spending it on a motel each weekend. She’s right, but I’m ready to get her under me in a damn bed, and tonight that’s going to happen. Not only will I have graduated and no longer be her
student, but I don’t really give a fuck anymore.
I can’t wait until the whole graduation thing is over with so I can shove Bianca in Jessica’s face. Jessica has done everything she can to find out about Bianca and me and if it hadn’t been for her, we could have been seeing more of each other. But like Bianca said, if we stay apart and are never seen talking together then she won’t have anything to report.
“Hey, get your head in the game, Mason.” Mr. Fuck Anything brings me out of my thoughts only to see my mom waving like crazy at me while my brother, Linc, tries to act like he isn’t with her. I grin, knowing Mom’s doing it deliberately because she knows how he hates it.
Taking my seat in the hall, I continue to look around waiting for Bianca. She promised she’d be here and until I see my girl I can’t settle. I sure as hell don’t want to get up on that stage without her. My family being here isn’t complete until she gets her sexy ass in this hall.
“Mason.”
Fuck! Just my luck having Jessica sitting beside me.
“What do you want, Jessica?” I ask, letting my feelings toward this girl show as I turn to face her.
She moves slightly back in her chair. “I wanted to know if you have plans for after graduation. I mean tonight. Are you going to a party?” she asks.
Looking around me again over the audience, I catch Bianca slipping through everyone before she takes a seat beside my mom. Luckily, my mom isn’t concerned about our age differences considering my dad is eleven years older than she is. The only thing I thought she’d have a problem with was Bianca being my teacher. But she was cool. Thank fuck.
“What’s she doing here?” Jessica asks before moving her attention back to me.
She narrows her eyes. “You’re together. Oh my, God. I should have known. I haven’t seen you with anyone… This isn’t happening. There is going to be so much trouble.”
What a bitch!
Bianca and I have talked about this, and the fact is, although she has been my teacher I was eighteen and now, as of a week ago, I’m nineteen. We haven’t done anything in the past three months to cause suspicion to land on us, and if asked, I’ll just say the attraction has been there for the both of us, but because of the situation we have waited until after my graduation to be together, which is a half-truth.
I grab Jessica’s arm as she goes to leave, no doubt to find the principal, who as luck would have it has just started his speech on the stage.
Instead of listening to him going on about the school and how proud he is of us students, I switch off thinking about getting my girl alone tonight. Over the past couple of weekends, we’ve been taking our belongings to the one bedroom apartment we’ve rented close to the college so that we don’t have too much left, mainly expensive things, like our computers and a few other electronic things. Linc and I went up to the apartment two nights ago to put the king-sized bed up as a surprise for Bianca, and I can’t wait to christen it. In fact, I can’t wait to christen the rest of the place. We’ve already made good use of the wall in the lounge and the counter top in the kitchen. My girls a frisky little thing.
“Mason, move,” Jessica hisses bringing me out of my lustful thoughts.
Walking toward the stage, I watch as my fellow classmates walk across to collect their diplomas from the principal, some of the girls look to have tears in their eyes. I don’t feel emotional about leaving this place, about starting the next phase of my life with the girl I love without fear of being pulled apart.
Hearing my name, I jog up the steps and shaking the hand of the principal, I look out toward my family and grin when I see both Mom and Bianca taking my photograph. Making my way off the stage and taking my seat again, I blow Bianca a kiss and grin at Jessica who is looking so damn pissed.
Before I know it, the ceremony is over, everyone is tossing their hats up in the air and all I want to do is go and claim my girl before everyone. I’ve waited so long to be able to touch her in public here in town and I can’t wait another minute.
One thing I haven’t counted on is everyone else trying to get outside into the sun at the same time. Patience isn’t something I’m good at, although I think I’ve done pretty well over the past few months.
Now that I’m outside the sun’s so fucking bright I can’t see a damn thing. Jumping down the steps, I start walking down the path, only to stop and head over to my right when I hear a piercing whistle. Linc.
Unable to stop myself, I run to Bianca, wrapping her up in my arms. “I love you. God, I love you, babe,” I whisper, burying my face into the curve of her neck.
She shudders and holds me close. “I love you, too. So much.”
We continue holding on to each other until Linc decides to interrupt. “Um, guys. You’re not only attracting a lot of attention, but Mom’s gonna piss herself if you don’t hug her real soon.”
Chuckling, I pull slightly away, kissing Bianca on her cheek before pulling my mom into my arms for a hug.
“I’m so proud of you, and I love your girl.”
“Me too.”
I find myself holding back tears. It isn’t everyday my flamboyant mom tells me that.
“Um, Mom. Mason. Principal Dick is on his way over here along with Jessica and some guy,” Linc tells us wrapping his arm around Bianca in an effort to protect us.
