Hope's Chance(50)

“Hope this isn’t just some fling for me. If it was then I never would have told you about my past. You have to know how important you are to me.” I explained.

“I do know. Sometimes it is just so hard hiding it. Why can’t everyone just understand that we love each other?” Hope asked.

I knelt down in front of her and covered her hands with mine. “It is just five months Hope. We get to see each other every day and now we don’t even have to hide it from Buffy. This is a good thing. Besides, it was only a matter of time before she found out. Everything will be okay.” I leaned in and waited halfway for her to kiss me. She met me and pressed her lips against mine. “Do you still want this Hope? Do you still want me?”

“Chance, I know you all think I am too young, but I know what I want. Yes, of course I want this.” She confirmed.

“Maybe we should slow down some. Things have gotten really intense between us. I don’t want you to get freaked out.” I explained.

Hope stood up and walked past me. She held out her hand and led me into my bedroom. I cupped my hands around her face and pulled her lips into mine. She backed away and lifted off her shirt. I lifted off mine. She gave me a quick smile and removed her shorts. I did the same.

“We need to talk about this Hope. This isn’t going to solve anything.” I suggested.

Then Hope unhooked her bra.

I watched her breasts fall out from within the bra. She leaned down and removed her panties and then she climbed on top of my bed. I removed my boxers and climbed under the covers after her. When I found her warm body I nestled myself against her. I loved how she smelled like honey and I couldn’t get enough of her smooth skin.

“We are supposed to be getting my bike.” I said in between kisses.

“I just need to be close to you for a little while. I just feel weird about things, like something bad is going to happen.” Hope explained.

“Hope please don’t even talk like that. Everything is going to be fine.”

“Please just hold me Chance. I just want to be close to you.” Hope pleaded.

I held her close, but after only a few minutes I realized being naked next to Hope made me want more from her. “Hope, I don’t know how much longer I can lay naked next to you. I am so turned on right now it isn’t even funny.” I explained.

I felt Hope’s hand reaching around my waist she started feeling around between my legs. Her head disappeared from on top of the covers and I felt her lips wrapping around my hardness. I grabbed onto her head, but only to play with her hair while her head continued to move up and down.

Her hands began to explore around down there and just when things started getting good, I heard my front door opening. Hope froze in place and I actually had to grab her arms and pull her up to the top of the bed.

“Chance…It’s me. Mark just called. He is on his way home. I am not kidding about you and Hope. You guys can’t be in here when he gets here.”

“OKAY!” I yelled.

Hope looked over at me. “ Do you want me to finish?” She asked as she reached down under the covers with her hand.

I stopped her before she made it any worse. “Let’s just head out and get my bike. We can finish this later.” I promised.

“Okay.” Hope said as she leaned over and kissed me.

Hope and I got dressed and headed out to get my bike. I met her in her car while she ran inside to get her purse and keys. When she climbed into the driver’s side, she had a weird look her face.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“Nothing. I just feel like Buffy is the one acting funny now. She kept staring at me just now, like I was hiding a million dollars or something.” Hope explained.

“I think you are just panicking. Everything will be okay Hope. Please trust me.” I noted.

Hope started her car and we headed out of our long driveway. “I do trust you Chance. You have never given me a reason not to.” She explained.

“I appreciate that.”

We made it out of the neighborhood before either of us said anything else. Hope was on edge and I felt like if I spoke I would say the wrong thing. Finally I decided to change the subject. “So have you decided what you want to do once the summer is over?”

She glanced over at me before looking back to the road. “What do you mean? With us?” She asked.

“No, with your future. Have you thought about going to college?”

Hope shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t know. I hate school work, so I never really wanted to attend college. I guess with everything that has happened I haven’t been thinking too much about it.” She explained.

I put my arm over her head rest. “College is important. You should give it a try. It can be hard at times, but it is a lot different than high school.”

“You sound like my father Chance.” She admitted.

“Sorry.” I rubbed the back of her neck. “I just think since you graduated early, with honors, that you would want to look into all of your options. Virginia has great colleges. I also got offered a spot at Virginia Tech before staying home in Pennsylvania to attend school. Now that I look back I wonder if I should have just left the state then.”

“If I tell you I will look into school will you leave me alone?” She asked.

“You hate it that much?”
