Secret Desires

[Roccoluver]

I have a written response saying this is good enough to post lol, hope you guys like it.

Brad frowned as he flicked though the dirty pictures of Rocco and Sally, if those last ones hint slightly at a deep relationship than Teacher/ Student these ones certain proved it with out a doubt… that position looked awkward, he tilt his head before shaking it in disgust, he shouldn't be looking at them like this.

He should give this to the police, what they were doing was wrong. But Sally, he couldn't do that to her.

Especially after what he did with Milly.

He sighed and rubbed his face with his hand as he contemplated his choices.

In truth there was only one choice…

Sighing with a deep regret he chucked the photo's into the raging fire watching them slowly burn under his clear eye.

Rocco paced the bedroom frowning, Sally rolled her eyes at him.

"What if he goes to the police anyway?"

"He won't"

"But what if he does?"

Sally suppressed a smile, Rocco was to cute when he worried. Walking over to him she wrapped her arms around him and grinned at him, giving him a light peck on the lips.

"We have nothing to worry about, thanks to Milly Brad won't go to the police"

He smiled reluctantly at her as she pulled him onto the bed.

"Come on Mr. Cooper, lets celebrated our freedom"

He grinned as he pulled her top off, kissing her body, carefully worshipping it with his tongue.

"I just wanted to say sorry for thinking you and …. What's in blue monkeys are you two doing".

Rocco gulped nervously as Martha stood opened mouth in the door way.

"Umm, practising the play, its um very important".

Sally nodded weakly.

"Very important".

Brad picked up the envelope off the ground, why was he get inundated with unmarked letters from strange stalkers with cameras.

His worse fears came a live as he flicked though the pictures, they were of him and Milly in several compromising position which made him feel even worse about not remembering the night they shared together.

He stopped at one of the photos, he smiled lustfully at it. That girl had talent…

[Sally_Fletcher]

Thanks for the comments guys - they make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! Here's the next part!

"With her top off? You're joking! Yeah, Roc, Martha's totally going to believe that you and Sally are practising for a school play! Give the girl credit, she can't be that stupid!"

"I know, Milly. Thanks for rubbing in the fact that we are screwed."

"I'll think of something, okay."

"Thanks, you're an angel!"

He lifts her into a hug, swinging her through the air.

"Physical contact is not permitted on school property."

Milly and Rocco turn to face Brad's angry face.

Milly bites her lip not to laugh.

"Sorry sir... we'll try and contain ourselves. But you should know how hard it is not to show what you're feeling... You were young once. Long ago."

Rocco hides a giggle behind his hand and Brad glares at Milly.

"Can I see you in my office?"

"Sure, who am I to say no. See you later Roc."

She makes a big deal about blowing Rocco a kiss before following Brad to his office. Rocco immediately finds his way to Sally's classroom.

"Rocco! What did she say?"

"She'll make a plan. Sal, we've got to be more careful. If Martha catches us again..."

Sally bites her lip.

"I know... she was already way too weary this morning."

He walks to her and starts massaging her shoulders lightly.

"You're so tense."

"I wonder why."

"Milly will come up with something, Sal. I trust her with my life."

"So what do you want to talk about Mr Armstrong? Or should I call you Brad? I'm a little confused here."

"Don't joke about this, Milly!"

"Sorry, I'm stopping right now. What did you want to see me about?"

Brad wipes his hands through his hair, looking at the carpet.

"Well?"

"I don't know, okay!"

She walks closer to him, looking up at him with a frown.

"You don't know?"

"No, I don't. You're not at all... I'm not supposed to feel like this. It's completely against my nature, not to mention wrong."

Milly turns her back on him, shaking lightly.

"You think this is normal for me? You think for one second that I like this? That this is some game?"

"You act like it is!"

"What am I supposed to do Brad? Gather the school and tell them all that I have feelings for the principal? Feelings that a student shouldn't have at all?"

He puts a calming hand on her shoulder and she yanks away, trying not to cry.

"Don't touch me!"

"Milly, come on, look at me."

She turns her head at the same time he puts his arms around her waist and picks her up.

Their mouths meet in a passionate kiss, containing all the restrained emotions that they feel for each other. Emotions that they shouldn't feel... but still do.

[Roccoluver]

here is the update.

Johnny stood grimly in front of his car, Sam appeared behind him frowning.

"What happened to the plan"

"Milly"

"Milly? Whats she doing here"

"I don't know but shes ruining everything. Sally and Rocco can not remain an item"

Johnny banged his fist against the hood of the car.

Sally opened the door to the house and dumped her bags on the table. It was about 5 o'clock and she would have to work hard to have dinner read by half past six to watch Neighbours.

There was a light knock and she turned, smiling nervously as Martha entered the kitchen.

"Martha, please"

"Sally shut up"

"Martha.."

"I just want to say that I don't approve of what your doing but I've been thinking and who am I to judge?. Your still the same caring woman and it doesn't effect me, so I'm just going to pretend I don't know a thing".

Sally smiled at Martha, Martha smiled back and hugged Sal.

Sam threw the binoculars onto the ground.

"That Martha girl doesn't care either, what is wrong with these people. Teacher/Student".

Johnny glared at Sally's figure though the window.

"The only reason Brad hasn't squealed is because he's doing Milly"

"Yeah"

"And Rocco has photo's of Brad and Milly"

"Yeah"

"Shut up!. So I use my brotherly love to get Rocco to hand over the photo's then hand them into the police. Brad gets jailed and to cut his sentence he gives up Sally".

"Sounds complicated"

"Yeah well if someone had GIVEN away the only copies then lost the negatives we could get straight to the cake, besides this way we remove to two birds with one stone"

"What birds"?.

Johnny whacked Sam over the head and hopped into the car.

EDIT- The cost of writing at midnight is that mistakes are a many

[Sally_Fletcher]

Thanks a lot for all the feedback (and thanks for helping me with this part, Jane.)

Sam covered Johnny as he picked the lock on Rocco’s locker.

“I thought you were going to use Rocco to get these”

Johnny stopped for a moment and glared.

“Since when do I explain myself to you”

“I was just…” Sam stopped mid sentence at the scowl on Johnny’s face.

“Like magic” Johnny chuckled opening Rocco’s locker and snatching out the photo’s of Brad and Milly.

“I'm confused”

Johnny shut Rocco’s locker, not bothering to look at Sam.

“What's new?” he grumbled.

“I thought Brad had all the photos”

“Brad has the copy of these ones and the Rocco and Sally ones.”

“Why didn’t we just break in Brad’s house since we’re going to anyway?”

Johnny shook his head in frustration, he had his reasons...

"I'm crazy about you, Milly. But if you ever call me old again..."

She looks up at him teasingly. "You're going to spank my naughty bottom?"

Brad laughs, folding his arms around her.

"Something like that!"

He wipes a strand of hair out of her face and kisses her tenderly.

"I don't ever want to stop kissing you."

"Why not?"

"It makes me happy."

She frowns lightly.

"What about Sally?"

"What about her?"

"Aren't you into her?"

Brad lifts her hand up to his mouth and kisses it.

"I thought I was. But I confused gratefulness with something deeper."

"I see."

She puts her arms around his neck and lifts her head to kiss him at the same time that the door opens. Milly pulls away from Brad fast as lighting and looks at him with a grumpy expression.

"Can I go sir?"

"No you wait. Yes, Miss Sherman?"

"Package for you Mr Armstrong."

Brad frowns and takes the envelope. The elderly lady leaves and Brad immediately opens it.

"What the..."

Milly frowns.

"What's wrong?"

"It's photos. Of us. And some of Sally and Rocco."

Milly picks a piece of paper off the ground.

"Enjoy it while it last because the police is sure to break you four up."

She looks at Brad furiously.

"I am going to kill Johnny Cooper."

"So... you really understand?"

Martha smiles at Rocco and he sits down next to her uncomfortably.

"Yeah, I do. I've been in some relationships that no one understood. You can't choose what to feel."

"So you won't tell anyone?"

"Of course not."

"Thanks, Martha."

She stands up.

"Anytime. I'm going out... so you and Sally can have the home to yourselves.""

Rocco grins.

"You are an angel!"

"I know!"

Martha smiles at him brightly before leaving.

Rocco rubs his hands against each other before entering the kitchen, planning on a night that Sally would never forget...

[Roccoluver]

heres an update cos I nice

“What do we do?”

“Why does everyone keep asking me?”

Milly sighed and put her head in her hands as Brad pulled her into a tight embrace.

“I’ve got to talk to Johnny”

“You can’t”

“It’s the only way”

“I won’t let you risk it”

“And what? Lose your life, Sally’s life. Let Johnny win?”

“Milly”

“I’m sorry Brad”

Sally kissed Rocco passionately as they fall back onto the bed. His hands started to slide off her top as she undid his pants.

“You know” she panted “I always knew there was a good reason why you wore these type of pants.”

“Believe it or not” he replied in between kisses “I didn’t buy them because they’re easy for you to get off me”

Sally smiled wickedly at Rocco.

“Really, I think the little fellow agree with my idea”

“Yeah, huh .. ,wait not little”

Sally laughed as a knock on the front door interrupted them.

“Well that’s a mood killer” Rocco grumbled, Sally sat up and slid her dress back on.

“Your not going are you”.

“Well I can’t very well not go”.

“Sure you can”

Sally gave Rocco a disapproving look before chucking his pants at him and walking down the hall to the stairs.

Milly stood nervously outside Johnny’s hideout. She took a deep breath in and calmed her trembling body.

“Open up you pathetic coward!” she called.

Sally opened the door to thin air, frowning she looked around before seeing a cardboard box on the ground.

“What is it?” Rocco asked, clad only in his boxer shorts and shirt.

“I don’t know, a box”

She picked it up, on it, it read.

To Sally Fletcher and Rocco Cooper.

“Could it be from Martha”

“I don’t think so” Sally said frowning.

She sat the box on the table…..

What happens next?

[Sally_Fletcher]

Thanks for the feedback all! Here's the next bit!

"Come on, Johnny! I don't remember you like this! Gutless, spineless, useless..." The door swings open and she smiles.

"Hi."

"What do you want?"

"Besides your death? I can think of a few things."

Johnny starts closing the door again but she stops him.

He glares at her angrily.

"Why are you even here? Last time you stood up to me you almost died, remember?"

"Yet I'm standing here, alive and kicking."

"Because my idiot brother saved your pathetic life."

She walks in, ignoring him glaring at her.

"Wow, awful place. No wonder you're so grim. I'd also be sour if I had to live in a place like this."

"I like it here."

"FIgures."

He rolls his eyes and glares at her.

"I want the photos, Johnny."

"No way."

"So you admit that you sent them?"

"Yes."

"You do not want to ruin this for me. Or Brad. Or Sally. Or Rocco."

"Why not?"

She walks up to him, looking up at him without fear.

"I know everything about you, Johnny Cooper. What would your precious gang do if they found out that you have a...?"

She smiles at a strange glint in his eyes.

"Is that fear I see?"

Smiling at him for one last time, she turns her back and leaves.

Johnny glares at the door and rolls his eyes.

"Stupid cow."

"Photos... No way!"

Rocco shakes his head.

"This is bad, this is so bad."

Sally frowns, picking up a sheet of paper.

"It gets worse..."

Rocco grabs the note and sighs.

"It's Johnny."

"Great! Now what?"

"I guess we have to ask Milly to save the day again..."

"How do you plan to do that? If you hadn't noticed, she's in a sticky spot too!"

Sally picks up one of the Brad/Milly pictures and lifts a brow.

"That looks uncomfortable."

Rocco grabs the picture and laughs.

"You should have seen the one she kept..."

He shuts up, blushing.

"This is a little weird."

"Yeah, you're telling me..."

Sally looks up at another knock on the door.

"More gifts?"

She opens the door to Brad, who is biting his lip nervously.

"Is Milly here?"

Rocco steps forward, shaking his head.

"No, why would she be?"

"She said she was... Oh no..."

"What? Brad?"

"She's gone to talk to Johnny."

Sally gasps in horror.

"is she crazy? We've got to find her, what are you waiting for?"

She runs out of the house, followed by Brad and Rocco...

[Roccoluver]

Did anyone want an update?

"Brad slow down!"

"I can't believe I just let her go"

"Neither can I"

"Not helping Rocco" Sally snapped.

Rocco rolled his eyes and tried to ring Milly.

"She's not answering her phone"

Brad hit the steering wheel.

"I shouldn't of been so stupid"

"You can't blame yourself"

"She's right"

Rocco sighed, leaning against the window of the car.

"You should blame me"

"Rocco, that's not true"

"I never should of got her involved"

"What?"

Brad stared over puzzled at Sally.

"It's nothing"

"Doesn't sound like nothing"

Rocco frowned against the window, if anything happened to Milly… A flash of red caught his eye.

"Stop the car!"

Brad slammed on the brakes and the car screeched to a halt.

"Thank God for seatbelts!" Sally coughed, leaning back into her chair.

"Rocco, where are you off to"

Brad looked at Sally who shrugged.

"It's Milly!" he yelled.

Sally and Brad raced out of the car and to where Rocco stood.

"Oh my…"

"Is she okay?" Sally asked.

Brad knelt next to her, taking her pulse.

"She's got a pulse"

"We have to get her to a hospital"

"I'll call an ambulance" Rocco said, dialling triple 0.

"No time, we have to get her there now" Brad said, Sally nodded and help place lay Milly on the back seat.

"Rocco I need you to get Milly as still as possible" Brad ordered. Rocco nodded and hopped into the car.

"please be okay, Mil. Come on."

Brad looks over his shoulder at Milly, scared of losing her. Then he speeds away, causing Sally and Rocco's necks to jerk forward.

Sally glares at Brad, rubbing her neck.

"Brad, it's not going to help Milly if you kill all four of us in a car accident!

Brad nods without losing speed, his only goal to get to the hospital as quick as possible.

[Sally_Fletcher]

/\ Okay so thanks for the feedback and here's the next part, where you find out what Johnny has.

Or not.

Brad, Sally and Rocco all stare out in front of them, waiting desperately for Rachel or someone to come out.

Brad jumps up when Rachel finally comes out, looking grim.

"Rachel! How is she, is she okay?"

Rachel takes a deep breath.

"The surgery went well. She's awake, but still very weak and a little groggy."

"Can we see her?"

Rachel nods slowly.

"Yes, but don't stay long..."

Brad rushes forward into Milly's room, closely followed by Sally and Rocco.

"Milly!"

She looks at him with a tired smile.

"Hey."

Her voice is hoarse and tired and Brad frowns.

"I'm so sorry. I should never have let you go."

"It's okay. No one can stop me once I have something in my head."

She takes his hand and squeezes it weakly.

Brad bends down, kissing her on her nose.

"I was so scared. I thought I was going to lose you."

"Oh, I'm a fighter. Don't worry about me."

She looks at Sally and Rocco and smiles.

"Hey. Come on here. I won't bite you."

They come closer slowly and Rocco bites his lip.

"Milly..."

"Oh shut up, Roc. That would be twice that Johnny failed to kill me. It's a record. Usually people don't even survive the first time."

Sally frowns.

"It's not funny, Milly. Johnny could have killed you!"

"But he didn't. I'm fine, I just feel like I've bumped my head really hard."

Brad sits down next to her, not letting go of her hand.

"What are you going to do now?"

"Oh, I'm not finished with Johnny Cooper."

Sally looks at Milly seriously.

"Maybe you should consider letting the police handle this."

Milly shakes her head. "Johnny knows too much. We have to keep him very far away from the police. I don't want to visit you and Brad in jail."

"Maybe this has gone too far, Milly. Maybe you should just..."

"You guys, do you think I'd go to Johnny without blackmail? He was an idiot for hurting me. Because this means war. I'm going to make him pay."

She lies back, closing her eyes.

"I'll see you guys later... My head feels like it's filled with cotton - I need to rest."

"Whoever attacked her... they meant to kill her, Brad."

Rachel looks at her brother seriously, her eyes dark with anger.

"She's only alive by a miracle. You have to do something."

Brad shrugs.

"Rachel, I know. But we can't do anything unless she knows who attacked her - and she doesn't. We just have to be patient and hope she remembers. If she remembers."

"Well you better hope she does. Otherwise whoever did this, is going to finish what he started. And next time... she won't be so lucky."

[Roccoluver]

Wow look at this, what is it? It might be an update (at last)

Rocco slumps down in a chair, letting his head fall down into his hands. Sally sighs and head to the kitchen to make a cup of tea, or coffee, or maybe just a beer, a strong beer.

Brad sits quietly next to Rocco and stares at the turned off television- okay a really strong beer, maybe with coffee aswell.

Ric lumbers down the stairs.

"Where were you guys?"

"Out".

He nods and smiles before heading back upstairs, Brad fall back against the chair. Rocco gets up.

"I should head to bed, you know school and what not"

Sally nods silently, not realising she's still holing the fridge door open. She shuts it without thinking before walking over to where Brad is with a six pack of the strongest stuff there is in the house, hopefully Mr Steward wouldn't notice it's disappearance.

"It's not your fault" she said, handing him a beer. He frowns slightly before downing a bottle.

"It is" He grabs another bottle and downs it, Sally downs her first bottle, trying to kill the depressing atmosphere in the room, before long all six are gone, yet the pain remains.

"You took one of my mine" she complains, getting up and walking over to grab another pack.

"I didda not, you took one of mine" Sally glared as she walked back and passed one to him, he took it and drank it. She smiled sadly before downing her bottle.

"They're all gone" Brad commented "where did they go"

"I don't know" Sally replied "We need more!"

She stumbled back to the fridge, which was still open. There was only one six pack left. Grabbing it she wobbled back to the couch and fall on the Brad…

Sally tried to stop the sunlight shining down on her face, her head ache and it hurt to move her body. She felt a warm body next to her's.

"Rocco, what time is it" she asked, shutting her eyes and reaching blindly for the painkiller.

"Huh, what did you say Milly?"

Sally stopped and tried to process the last sentence, with a lot of effort and pain she rolled over, almost throwing up.

"Brad?"

"Sally?".

now I just hope I posted this in the right place.....

[Sally_Fletcher]

Thanks for all the comments - here's another update!

"Thanks, Sal."

Brad takes an aspirin from Sally and quickly swallows it.

"How are you feeling?"

Sally shakes her head.

"Like I was in a fight with a train. Ugh, why have I never noticed how yellow these pillows are?"

"No idea." He bites his lip nervously.

"Okay, this is going to sound weird, but did we…"

"Oh, fantastic. I was just about to ask you that."

"So you can't remember either?"

"I can't remember anything after the third pack of beer actually."

"Neither can I."

They look up when the door opens and Rocco enters.

"What's going on."

Sally shakes her head.

"Hangover. Brad and I… drank a little too much last night."

Rocco sits down next to Sally and softly kisses her neck.

"Oh… well hungover or not, I don't like other blokes in your bedroom this early…"

Brad nods and stands up.

"Yeah, sorry about that… I was just getting some aspirin…"

Rocco smiles at Brad and he leaves.

"Did he sleep in the guest room last night?"

"Yeah… he didn't feel like going home. With Milly in hospital…"

Rocco nods and pulls Sally closer.

"So… how bad is this hangover?"

"It's bad… why?"

Rocco sighs and stands up.

"So I guess we can't have a quickie before school starts?"

Sally laughs and pulls him down on the bed.

"I did not say that!"

He tumbles down on top of her and she kisses him passionately.

"I love you, Rocco."

He kisses her in her neck softly and smiles at her.

"I love you too."

"Hey stranger! You won't believe it, but I was just wishing you'd come over!"

Milly smiles happily when Brad enters her hospital room and he quickly kisses her, after making sure that the coast is clear.

"Hey babe. How are you feeling?"

"Fantastic! Except that I miss you…"

"I miss you too."

Milly looks at him worriedly.

"Brad, what's wrong? You seem down."

"I just… have a headache…"

Milly winks at him. "If you quickly lock the door I could make it disappear…"

Brad grins and climbs on the bed, kissing her passionately.

He lifts his arms, allowing Milly to take off his shirt, before kissing her again, his heart feeling like it's about to burst with love.

They don't notice that the door has opened until Rachel speaks next to them.

"Brad? What the hell do you think you're doing?
