Forbidden Love
Chapter 7
I walked into the house behind my sisters and closed the door behind me. Surprisingly school was getting better and I was making a lot of friends. However coming home was now a pain in the ass. Because I had left the house Saturday without permission I was grounded for three weeks, no going out, no friends, no computer and no phone. Typical grounding. I wasn’t THAT upset though because I had found out that JC Chasez, who I had a crush on since I discovered N SYNC still liked me despite my age.
I walked to the stairs to go to my room, but as I got halfway up the stairs the doorbell rang. I glanced over my right shoulder at the door. “I got it!” I called out. I walked back downstairs and answered the door. To my surprise it was JC. I smiled at him. He smiled back and peeked into the house.
“Are your parents around?”
“I’m not sure I just got home from school.” He nodded, noticing me holding my backpack. I looked behind me, checking if the coast was clear and I closed the door. “Did you get my text message this afternoon?”
“Yeah.” JC smiled. “Do your parents know you are using your sister’s cell phone at school?”
“No.” I laughed. He just smiled at me and stepped closer, pulling me closer to him. My heart began to race and I closed my eyes to feel JC’s lips touch mine for just a moment before the door flew open. We jumped apart. Amber looked at me and JC, and then back again. “Mom is looking for you.”
I rolled my eyes and turned back to JC. “I have to go I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay your Dad is expecting me.”
I nodded and we walked into the house together and we parted ways in the foyer, JC going to Daddy’s studio and Amber and I going to the kitchen to find our Mom.
One hour later, I laid in the bathtub relaxing and thinking about my kiss with JC. It was our first kiss and I still could feel his lips on mine, so soft, so gentle, so perfect. I raised my hand up and gently touched my lips. I smiled. A sudden knock came at my bathroom door and I turned to it. “I’m taking a bath!” I called out to the person behind the door.
The door opened slightly and Annie poked her head in. “Daddy needs your help in the studio.”
I looked at my little sister. “Tell him I’m taking a bath.”
“I did. He said you have been in the bath long enough and it’s time for you to get out.”
“Please tell me JC didn’t hear him say that.”
“He laughed.”
I rolled my eyes. “Why can’t April, Ashley, Alex, or Amber help Daddy in the studio?”
“April and Ashley are out shopping and Alex and Amber are doing their homework.”
“Fine,” I said in an annoyed tone. “Tell him I’ll be right there.”
“You better hurry up.” Annie closed the door.
Fifteen minutes later, I was knocking on the door to Daddy’s studio and walking in. “I’m here.”
My Dad turned to me. “What took you so long?”
“Sorry next time I won’t get dress. I’ll just come down here naked.” I rolled my eyes and sat down on the couch. My Dad shot me a stern look and pointed at me and then at the controls.
“I need you to work the controls. JC and I are going into the sound booth.”
I nodded and walked over to the controls. I sat down next to JC and turned my chair around to the control panel. “I’m ready whenever you guys are.”
“Give me a sec I’ll be right back.” My Dad left the studio.
I rolled my eyes. “I hate when he does that. He rushes me and my sisters and then he takes off.” I turned to JC. I smiled at him. He smiled back.
“You smell good,” said JC. I smiled at him and leaned over to kiss him, but the studio door opened and my Dad walked back in. JC and I turned away from each other.
My Dad looked at us with a smile. “Ready?”
