Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)

Chapter 81: Tables Turn 

EMMA’s POV : 

One Month Later 

"This is so great, Emmie! We pretty much can drive to New Jersey together!"

Sophie exclaimed happily as I told her the news.

Yes, lan and I were planning to spend Thanksgiving in New Jersey this year.

Last year we wanted to do that but lan’s mom had a small heart attack and she ended up being hospitalized.

This year, we wanted to make up for last year’s dingy hospital food and tasteless Jell-O.

Kristen was so excited to have us over, she had started planning and prepping since Monday.

"So, is that a yes? I can carpool with you guys?"I asked her again to make sure.

"Absolutely, you can totally come with us,"Tristan interjected as he took a seat in between us on the couch.

"Sophie's gonna hog the AUX cable the whole way, but other than that, it’s gonna be a fun ride,"

"Hey!"Sophie yelled defensively.

"I have great taste in music.I’m a good DJ for the car,"

"Brace yourself.It's gonna be BTS and Tik Tok music all the way,"

Tristan rolled his eyes dramatically and I laughed.

Since Sophie and Tristan were also from Jersey and they were driving there for Thanksgiving, I thought it would be efficient if I could carpool with them.

Ian would drive from New York and meet me there.

Everything was set and I was excited as Thanksgiving Day arrived.

Tristan, Sophie, and I got up super early on Thursday morning because we wanted to beat the traffic.

By 7.30 AM, I was all dressed and ready to go.My bags were packed and I even had time to make breakfast for everyone.

Nothing fancy, just some pancakes, bacon, and coffee.

"Ooh, someone's eager to start the day,"Sophie teased as she grabbed a pancake from the plate.

"Very much,"I agreed.

"Is Tristan ready?"

"Yeah, he’s moving my bags to the car,"

The last time I saw lan was two weeks ago when I came to visit him in the city.

So, it was only natural that I was giddy to get on with this trip.

Even though we talked on the phone a lot, and we did more than just talking on the phone, it still wasn’t the same as meeting him in person and letting him touch me for real.

Maybe it was my time of the month or whatever, but I was missing his touch.

I had been having dreams about him for the past few days.

Shameless, I know, but I couldn't wait to touch him and feel him inside me again.

My happy thoughts were interrupted by the sudden buzzing of my phone.

I checked the screen and saw that it was Ian calling me.It was like he could read my mind.

I was smiling to myself as I answered the call.

"Hey, I was just thinking about you,"I said.

"Really? What about?"

Oh, I don’t know about you and your gorgeous smile, your soft lips, and rock-hard body.I was thinking about how you would hold me in your arms and how we'd make love all night...

"I'm just so excited to see you tonight.I can’t wait,"I said instead.

I heard him taking in a deep breath and letting out a sigh.The smile on my face flattened instinctively.

"Baby girl, you’re gonna hate me for this..."he started.
