“Tommy?” he asks and I can see it running though his head.
After my dream this morning, I remembered the voice.
There is no way I would forget that voice.
I don’t know what to do; I mean Tommy is the deputies’ son.
He would never believe me if I said that his son tried to rape me.
“Yes” I nod my head and grab my stomach as the memory of last night, comes rushing back to me.
Max walks up to mean and pulls me into his arms.
“It’s going to be ok” he whispers into my ear and it calms me down.
“I’m here” he whispers.
“Max, promise me you won’t leave me alone with him” I say.
“I promise, but Liz you have to tell someone” he says with concerned eyes.
“Max I can’t”
“Why not?”
“Cause his fathers the deputy, there’s no way he’ll believe me” I scream and I see Max finally understanding why I’m so scared.
“Ok” he says and I look at him.
“Ok?”
“Ok, I wont tell, but if he even looks at you … you tell me, and I’ll take care of it” he says while pushing me to him.
I’m so glad that his here, if he wasn’t I wouldn’t know what to do.
“Liz promise me that you won’t let him hurt you” he says.
I see how much he cares by the way he looks down into my eyes.
“I promise” I say while laying my head on his shoulder and closing my eyes.
“Max, is she really your girlfriend?” I ask once we’re seated down and once again comfortable in each others arms.
“It’s complicated” he says and I look up at him.
“How so?”
“We were together in high school, and we were in love… or so I thought” he says and I look up into his eyes.
“I always had a feeling that she was cheating on me but I never said anything, coz I didn’t want to start trouble” he continues.
“One afternoon I was coming back from class early and I saw her with another guy, it was our anniversary, and she was in my bed” I’m shock; I can’t believe she would actually do that.
If someone had a guy like Max why would they go screw it up?
“What did you do?” I ask.
“Nothing, I thought that she was as good as it gets and that I couldn’t do better” he adds.
“I’m sorry” I say and I caress his check.
“It’s ok, it’s over now” he says while smiling down at me.
“Why don’t you leave her?”
“It’s not that easy, you see I say I don’t want to be with her and she will keep coming over and begging” he says and I feel like shit.
Don’t get me wrong I feel sorry that he can’t get rid of her, but it hurts to know that his still going to have a girlfriend, whether I like it or not.
I nod in understanding.
“Liz I know that I like you and that I want to be with you but maybe, its not a great idea” he says looking down at me.
“But, I want to be with you too” I say and I feel my eyes watering.
“I know but we can’t”
“Yes we can, she would never know because she would be to pre-occupied and the school cant do anything cause it’s only 5 years” I say begging for him to say yes.
“I could get fired and even worse, you could get kicked out” he says and I see him shaking his head.
“I wouldn’t do that to you” he adds.
“But there’s only 1 semester left” I add and I feel myself bursting inside.
How can he not see how much I want to be with him?
“And maybe once your n college we can” he says and I shake my head.
“You don’t want to, do you?”
“Liz I do, but I care for you too much to get you hurt” he says and I melt.
“You care for me?”
“Yes”
“Then I say we try” I look up into his eyes with hope.
“I guess we could try” he says and I see a small smile spread across his face.
I breathe a breath of relief.
“The law says that if your 16 or over, which I am you can be with anyone up to the age of 24, which your under” I say and I see him nod.
“And if we keep this quiet for the next semester you wont get kicked out and I wont have to find another job” he adds.
“And after the semester if we decide to go public it would be perfectly fine” I say and he nods.
“Let’s just keep this low profile” he says and I smile up at him.
I lean up and capture his lips in a sweet luscious kiss.
This might actually work…
TBC…
