Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

It is Haraam (prohibited) to have any relation with a strange woman with whom you have not made Nikah. Your fear Allah and abstain from this sin immediately. Rasulullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said "the eyes commit Zina, and the Zina of the eyes are to look at a strange woman". Therefore, you should consult with your parents and possible consider Nikah to her if you fear you would not be able to contain yourself.

And Allah knows best
