Tell him.
Don’t let him go.
Lifting up, Teal tucked her hair behind her ear and smileddown at him. “There’s something I’ve got to tell you.” She smiled down at him, about to tell him how she felt when she heard the front door open.
Her heart began to race, and panic flooded her body.
Her mother was home. “Teal!” She heard her name being called.
Jaxson was still inside her, and she had no choice but to pull off his dick and then scramble around her bedroom. At the same time, she felt his orgasm leaking down her thigh.
She struggled to stay in control, but she got there. In the end, she pulled on a pair of sweatpants and a large shirt.
“Stay here,” she said.
This had never happened to her before. Her mother had never caught her in such a compromising position, not that she’d been caught, but if her mother found out, then this was going to be bad.
“Teal!”
Moving to the head of the stairs, she glanced down, seeing her mother’s bags in the front doorway.
“Mom,” she said. She walked downstairs, trying to calm her erratic nerves.
Bethany suddenly appeared near the front door. “Honey, shouldn’t you be in school?”
“I wasn’t feeling well, so I stayed home.”
“Oh, right, of course.” Her mother smiled. “Do I need to call a doctor?”
“No, it’s nothing too serious, just not well enough to be in school.” She was tempted to add a little cough but thought better of it.
“Right, right, so, I have come to a decision. Your father and I are getting a divorce, and I’ve already called the realtor. They’re coming over in ten minutes. I want to get this house on the market pronto. I have already called, and my old job iswaiting for me. We’ll be able to get you private tutors.”
Teal couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “You’re getting divorced?”
Bethany stopped. During her mother’s speech or rant, or whatever that was, she had started to move downstairs. “Yes, it has been a decision long in coming, but it’s the right thing to do.” Bethany stepped toward her. “Your father said he will talk to you when he can.”
Teal laughed. “When he can? What does that even mean? Why are we moving?”
“Because this house was a splurge of a purchase. It was supposed to be a fresh start, but it has only caused me a headache. So stupid, to be honest. I want you to start packing. The realtor has already said this is prime whatever, so I don’t think it will take long to sell.”
She was going to move. The chance of seeing Jaxson again was going to come to an end.
Teal turned on her heel and made her way upstairs, feeling numb. The realtor was coming over. They were going to move.
Entering the bedroom, she found Jaxson already dressed, sitting on the edge of her bed. Their days of escaping reality had come to an end.
“Mom’s selling the house,” Teal said. “Mom’s, she’s going to move on.”
“I heard.”
“We’re moving back to our old place, or somewhere new, I don’t know. She will have her old job, and my dad will get in touch when he can. When he can.”
None of this mattered though. They were just the words she figured he wanted to hear while she attempted to deal with the pain slicing through her chest.
He opened his arms, and she wanted that comfort, somuch. There was no hesitation. She moved into his arms and held on to him tightly, not wanting to let him go. She held him even tighter than before.
All the words of love, and begging him not to leave, and everything stayed in her throat. Teal knew she couldn’t do that to him, even as her heart felt like it was shredding inside her chest.
