Cheers!! This story is fiction and all characters are a figment of my imagination. English is not my native tongue so pardon the grammatical errors if you find any. Also this involves some love making between an adult and youth so if you are not into it, you should stop reading further. Also important---> Please support Nifty to keep these stories coming. http://donate.nifty.org/donate.html I don't know for how long we just stayed like that, but I found that Sam was asleep in my lap. He must be exhausted after all that. His hands were tightly holding my shirt and I could feel my shirt wet from his tears. I gently put him on my bed. I could see his eyes were still teary and tears had not dried from his cheeks. I felt so bad for him, to lose a parent at such a young age and then holding yourself responsible for it to the point that he has, I just felt sorry for him as if his pain was piercing me, tearing me, running wild through me. I laid there beside him and wiped away the tears he had on his cheeks, and then very gently I wiped away tears from his eyes. Then I saw him again and I couldn't bear to see his painful face. It was exhausting for me too as I just laid there holding Sam close to me. I felt myself wandering off to sleep. I woke with a jerk. What time is it?, I fumbled to find my phone and found that Sam had gone. It was already 7 pm. I cursed myself for sleeping so long. The sleep had bought me back to normal after that hell of an emotional roller coaster. I found a page from Sam's scrapbook. I grabbed it to see that he had written something in there with his pencil. It was flimsy but I read it "Peter , I am so thankful that I was able to speak to you what I told you. It feels that the hurt inside me has calmed a bit by letting it out. All these years I never told this to anyone. You were the first person I ever told this to and perhaps the only person I would ever tell this to. I am going with Aunt Mary to her home as her father is ill, and she said that I must come with her. I am sad that I couldn't say goodbye, but you were sleeping so good that I just wrote this letter instead. I have to tell you something when I come back, I can't write it here. I wish you well. - Sam ". I took the letter and sat on the couch, still cursing myself for oversleeping. I was thinking as I held the letter that he had not said in how much time he would be back. I was restless. The thought that I would not see him for an indefinite period of time was killing me. How am I supposed to wait for him? He didn't even tell when he will be back. What if he was to stay there for a month or two? If that is the case, I can go to his school to check on for his leave duration, because they would have told them beforehand for such a long leave. I am glad that I had asked him his school name, I thought. Wait, am not I just stalking him like that, and besides, why would school even provide this info to me who is not even remotely related to him? Then came another idea, what if they haven't still departed? Can I just talk Mary down to let Sam stay with me while she is gone. But isn't that weird, I asked contradicting myself, a man just comes to ask if he could let there kid stay with him, out of nowhere, and you haven't even met him before, obviously you will think he is a creep. Maybe I can let Sam talk to her so that he can coerce her to let him stay with me. My mind was working very fast, devising new plans to prevent Sam from going away. I looked at my clock, it was 7:30 already. Can I still make it in time? Can I still stall him from going away? And even if I make it, I have to talk to Sam, but how? That is the biggest problem. And even bigger is the issue that if someone sees me lurking around there house sneaking like that, what would they do?, I enjoy a decent reputation as a teacher here, I would be stained forever. No, at this point I don't care about it, my position is trivial before this situation. I must hurry to his house and somehow make Sam coverce his aunt to let him stay with me. I grabbed my coat and was greeted by my student as soon as I stepped out into the lane. "Good evening Sir", said Ellie, she was my student some two years before she got into university where she is now. As much as I wished to talk to her, I was running out of time. I decided to end this conversation fast. "Hi, Ellie, long time no see" "I wanted to come visit you sir, but I never got a chance" she said all the while staring at me. Now, here is a little backstory with what happened when she was still in high school two years ago. I got 4 love letters under my desk as I was checking papers. They were all anonymous saying that they were head over heels for me and that they had a crush on me. I thought that it was a joke, and possibly some guy was just trying to get to me. It happened two more times. I was not mad, in fact somewhere deep down I felt great, but decided to find culprit. I asked a guard to keep doing his duty as he normally does but also keep an eye on staff room for 2-5pm, as that is when it is completely unguarded. When it happened again, I asked him did he saw them. He said that he saw 4 girls enter and leave my room. He couldn't identify them properly as they all looked similar to him. I didn't receive any letters after that. I don't know why but I think she was a part of it as even in class she kept starting at me. But I never confronted her. "I am sorry Ellie, I have some urgent business to tend to, can we meet again sometime later?" I said. "Sure sir see you again", she said slightly disappointed. I was glad that it wrapped quickly but hoped to meet her again sometime when I have more time and maybe then she would come out on her own. I was practically running now, his house wasn't that far. Luckily I knew exactly which house he lived in. I saw that the lights were on. Alright, all the preliminary conditions are now met, all that remain is for me to get Sam. But how do I meet Sam alone, that still remains an obstacle that I must clear. I was rushing steadfastly that I thought that why do "I" have to go out of my way to talk to him to let him stay?. If he really wanted, shouldn't he be the one doing talking to let him stay over at my place. As soon as I really thought about it, I came to a halt midway. That is true, why should I go to stop him when he himself doesn't want it? Or wait, maybe he does, maybe he tried but he was overruled by his aunt. Get a hold of yourself, why am I so lost over it?. I decided to gamble on the second option and play for the win. I resolved that Sam was staying with me. Even though he didn't say anything himself to me, I had already gambled on the second option, and I decided to play along. I bought on the way a box of chocolates. I was there at his house. I was a bit nervous. Then I rehearsed a bit on how I would start my conversation and how I must be the one to lead and pressure her to allow Sam to stay. I knocked at the door. This is bad, I was getting all shaky and nervous, then I thought about the rewards of the win and at once I was straight. A woman opened the gate, she must be Mary I thought. "Good evening Mrs. Mary ", I said, "Good evening", she replied, " Are you...? " she began asking. "Yes, I am Peter, I live just this next street", "Ahhh... I remember now, you must be the Maths professor. I am sorry I just couldn't recognize, please come in". All right, I said to myself, most of the preliminary conditions were cleared, I was in and now I must win it, not just for me but Sam too. "Would you like to take tea or coffee?" she asked. I said "I don't mind either Mrs. Mary, you can bring whatever you find easier to make". Yes, that gave me enough time to think things through. But wait, I don't see Sam anywhere. Where is he?? She bought out tea, and sat opposite to me staring at me. I began "Mrs. Mary, you know that Sam came to my house and helped me with my backyard?" My mind was working so fast that at one point I could think of 5 possible answers that she could give and a reply for each one of them. To be continued... Next chapter: It will be an action-packed episode, that is all I would say. I apologise for the cliffhanger. And also I would not be uploading for upto 2-3 days as I have some academic work to finish, but hope you will all understand.
