Kettle moved over slowly so the now extremely pissed off woman didn’t run me over in her exuberance to get the hell out.
In the meantime, I was in the process of figuring out what the hell to say to him. I’d just admitted to masturbating to the man the previous night.BeforeI’d officially met him. He’d probably realize I was a perv and watched him run every morning. Then he’d get a restraining order
But before I could come up with something intelligent to say, the cocky son of a bitch decided to throw it in my face.
“So, you were thinking of me, huh?”
I didn’t like to be teased. Just ask my sister.
Without another word to the rude man, I walked back into my apartment and slammed the door.
Smug bastard.
Luckily, I was already wearing my shirt and skirt, all I had to do was slip into my Converses and braid my hair.
I was a high school chemistry teacher for Benton High School.
On the weekends, I worked in a lab to help supplement my bills. Or I did until I found out they tested on living animals and stole them. Now I didn’t have a job, but at least they couldn’t report me or they’d be doing themselves more harm than good.
It’d be easier for them just to acquire new test subjects; however, I’d destroyed quite a bit of data when I’d left, so it’d take them some time.
“Purse, purse, purse,” I chanted, as I made my way back to the living room.
I found it wedged in between the cushion and the back of the couch, which could very well have had to do with Monty sleeping behind the cushions.
Digging through my purse and looking for my keys, I walked to the door, then slammed it behind myself as I started stomping down the steps.
What I should’ve been doing was watching where I was going, instead of stuffing my head into my purse while I looked for my keys. If I had, I wouldn’t have missed the last two steps and nearly fallen flat on my face.
Luckily, tall, dark and handsome was at the bottom to catch me.
Unluckily, he got sweat all over the front of my shirt.
“Ewww,” I squealed as my linen shirt clung to his sweaty skin.
“Sorry,” he said in his deep velvety voice.
I disentangled myself from him and then bent down to retrieve all of my belongings that were now littering the sidewalk.
He bent down as well and started picking up candy wrappers, a coke that was three days old, and my birth control pills.
“Here, I want those. These,” I said as I shoved the trash into his hands. “You can throw away for me when you get a chance.”
Kettle snorted. “Sure.”
“Do you see my keys anywhere?”
Oh man, I was going to be really late. I was supposed to be there for driver’s ED over thirty minutes ago. Now I was going to have to listen to Jesse Lawn’s mother bitching about how she had to miss yoga class again.
I was habitually late, though. Mrs. Lawn missed her yoga appointments a lot. The school wasn’t going to fire me, however. Nobody else wanted to deal with the little sixteen year olds that thought they knew more than their instructors.
I’d already gotten into four fender benders this year, and it was only four months into the school year.
“Here.” He said standing up and leaving the trash where it was.
“You forgot that.” I pointed to the offensive objects.
He looked down, then back up at me, and laughed. “Yeah, I’ll get right on that.”
