Chapter Five
AJ
“My God, that man is smokin’ hot,” Brandy Kohl says, fanning her face as she dramatically falls back against the chalkboard in my classroom.
“Oh, Brandy, not you too. That’s all I heard from Laney and Phyllis as I left the meeting earlier,” I reply, abandoning the label maker and giving my friend my full attention.
“He’s freaking tall and sexy and gorgeous and sexy. I’m going to look for every excuse possible to get him down to the principal’s office on a regular basis,” she adds, a mischievous grin on her pretty face.
Brandy and I met my first day on the job. She works in the office and directly under Principal Stewart. Not under him under him, though I don’t think it’s not from lack of want. If it weren’t in the employee handbook that relationships between the principal and staff is strictly forbidden, Brandy would have been all over him like he was catnip and her kitty was ready to play.
“He’s all right,” I mumble, turning my attention back to the folders I was labeling for my new filing system so she can’t see the lie written all over my face.
“All right?” she exclaims loudly, walking toward my desk. “Are you blind or just plain mad? Maybe the fact that you haven’t gotten laid in months has your hot guy radar off a bit?” she asks, reaching over and placing her hand on my forehead. “You don’t appear to have a fever.”
“Knock it off,” I grumble, pushing her hand away.
“He sat by you. Does he smell as good as he looks?” Her eyes twinkle with excitement as she awaits my answer.
Yes, Brandy, he smells incredible. He smells so good I wanted to climb him like a tree in the middle of the teachers’ lounge, coworkers and boss be damned.
Instead, I go with, “I didn’t notice.”
“Didn’t notice?” Again, she reaches for my forehead.
“Stop!”
“I’m starting to get a little worried about you.”
“I’m fine, Brandy. Just trying to get my room ready to go for Tuesday. It’s difficult, though, having an interruption bothering me.”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know I’m keeping you from your color coding files and your fancy schmancy label maker, but aren’t you at least a little bit interested in the hot new teacher?”
Oh, I’m interested, all right.
“Whatever, Brandy. He’s decent looking, sure, but he’s no Channing Tatum.”
No, Channing Tatum has nothing on Sawyer.
“You’re nuts.”
“What’s the big deal, anyway? Why does everyone have their panties in a tizzy?” I ask.
“You mean, besides the fact that he’s hotter than Mount St. Helens after its eruption in nineteen eighty?”
I can’t help but crack a smile. “Yeah, besides that.”
“I hear he played baseball or something. Not sure. No ring on his finger, though, I definitely noticed that.” Me too. “And besides, my panties aren’t in a tizzy, they’re soaked.” Brandy gives me a wide wolfish grin, her blonde hair framing her heart-shaped face.
“I don’t need to know anything about the state of your panties.”
“Anyway, at least we’ll have a little more eye candy to help get us through the school year, right?”
Understatement of the year.
“He’s definitely an improvement over Mr. Burton and his coffee-stained ties,” I smirk.
“God! How does one man miss his mouth so much?” she laughs, shaking her head. “All right, I’m going to head back down to the office and stare at Mr. Stewart’s ass.”
