FORBIDDEN LOVE
Chapter Two
Jack put his hands on Rose’s
waist, pulled her close, and kissed her passionately. When they pulled apart…
"My goodness," was all
Rose could say. Then she smiled, and Jack smiled back. "You know, this is
odd and fast…but I love you!" Rose said, relieved to get that off her
chest.
"I know. This is crazy. I
love you, too." Jack and Rose smiled and kissed again. Then Rose saw a
familiar face come around the corner. It was Cal.
"Jack, come on over
here," Rose whispered, and they ran into the store they were closest to.
"What is it, Rose?"
Jack was wondering what had just happened.
"That is the boy I just
broke up with. You know, the one I told you about over dinner. I’ll bet you
he’s looking for me."
Jack laughed, as did Rose. Cal
was gone, so Jack and Rose walked out nonchalantly.
"Jack, we can’t get caught.
I am sure you know I am sixteen and you are twenty. Now, in two weeks, I will
be seventeen. Still, if my mother knows—" Rose was cut off by Jack.
"Shh. Don’t worry.
Everything will be all right. Here is my number—555-4545. Call any time, night
or day, if you are in trouble or just want to talk. Okay?" Rose nodded.
"Jack, here is my private
number—555-9007, and my cell number is 555-8896. You can call anytime. I have
to go. I hope to see you later." She smiled and kissed him deeply, then
skipped off with a smiling Jack behind her.
