Lorraine stood in Michael's office, her posture professional, one of her slender hands resting on her hip. Infuriated by Michael's money costing ideas she spoke, "It's my school Michael, I pay the wages, my decisions are final."

"I deserve a say in all the decisions Lorraine! I am the head running this school." Michael snapped as anger filled him.

Lorraine felt rather intimidated by how he was acting and talking. He stepped closer to Lorraine about to grab her.

Lorraine cautiously stepped back in her stilettos, "I set this school up, put my money into it. I could back out."

"Not if you know what's good for you, you won't. Remember I know you." Michael's tone was dry, harsh to her ears as he grabbed her arm forcefully.

"Michael? What are you doing? Get off me you're hurting me!" Lorraine snapped at Michael looking at him. He had now closed the PRU door and locked it.

"Doing what I wish I had done to you a longgggggggg time ago" He smirked evilly at her. Lorraine's heart started beating faster than she ever knew it could because she was scared of what Michael was going to do.

Her piercing blue eyes glistened as tears threatened to fall as she felt his hands roam over her body. It made her shudder, "Get off me!" she begged.

Michael just shook his head, "No, it's about time I got you seeing things my way about the school." He unzipped her dress.
She put her hands on his chest as she tried her hardest to push him off of her. It didn't work. She wasn't strong enough. "What are you doing Micheal? Fine I'll let you have a say in how things run just please...get off me.." She begged him as she was beyond scared now.

"You're just saying that. I have to make you see sense, come to my way of thinking." Michael growled as his rough hands explored her body. Lorraine choked on her breath, trying her best to hold her tears back but failed as a perfectly formed tear drop surfaced on her cheek.

"Awh crying are we? How old are you!?" He snapped in her face "Only little children cry..you're not a child..are you Lorraine?" Michael laughed as he took her dress off her shoulders as it fell to the floor. "Hmm looking mighty fine as always Ms Donnegan" He smirked.

"Michael please don't do this..why are you doing this?" Lorraine asked as she wiped away the other few tears that had fallen from her eyes as she cried silently.

"To teach you a lesson, you don't mess or disagree with me." Michael smirked, "My you are gorgeous." he continued removing her clothes.

Lorraine continued to cry silently, biting her tongue; she couldn't believe what was happening, she felt so venerable, dreading what happened next.

"You're not my teacher anymore Michael..I'm not your pupil anymore..I'm you business partner! Michael please don't.." Lorraine begged him as her heart beat became faster and faster as he slid a hand up her leg and towards her breast. "Please.." She begged him not being able to control her tears anymore as she just let them fall down her cheeks and drop off as she looked down trying to see what he was going to do. Michael started unbuttoning his pants and zip as he pushed his pants down to round his ankles.

Desperate to escape, Lorraine struggled underneath him but he just tightened his grip on her. "Exactly, I don't have to worry about you being my students as your not, you're an adult." he whispered into her ear, his breath on her bare skin making her shiver. More tears flowed down her silky cheeks, smudging her make-up, as he finally succeeded in what he aimed, pushing himself into her.

Lorraine looked down as she closed her eyes tightly shut. She wanted this to end and she wished Michael could be the same he was when she was his pupil. Nice and a caring man. Some how and for some reason he had changed a lot. She couldn't stop crying as she pushed him away but it didn't work because he was too strong. He pumped in and out of her as he raped her. It lasted for 20 minutes before he shot his load into her and pulled out of her panting. "Wow..that was rather amazing..we should do it again some time" Michael smirked as he let go of her and she slid down the wall in tears. She cowered away into the corner of the PRU sobbing her heart out.

Lorraine watched as he left, her tears showing no sign of slowly; she felt disgusting, dirty, used. She wondered how she was going to cope working with him, knowing there was a high risk of a repeat of tonight as well as the consequences she could suffer from what had just happened.

Nikki was on her way back to the school, having forgotten some important spread sheets. Seeing Lorraine's Ferrari in the car park still, questions arised her to why she was still working.

Lorraine's heart was beating really fast. She closed her eyes tightly hoping that what had just happened was just a bad dream and not reality. Unfortunately for her is was reality. Her breathing was heavy as she couldn't bring herself to get up. She had no energy or motivation.

Nikki walked into the school and down the corridor on the way to the PRU. The door was closed so she typed in the code and walked inside letting the door close behind her.

Nikki was shocked to see Lorraine curled up in the corner of the PRU in a state. She turned her back slightly allowing Lorraine chance to fumble with her clothes and make herself decent. Lorraine was very shaky, horrified by what had happened, she just wanted to go home. She attempted to leave the PRU but Nikki gently pulled her back, "Why are you in here Lorraine? What's happened, I'm not letting you go in this state." her voice was soothing, caring, as she offered her boss a hug.

Lorraine hesitated at first at the thought of being touched again but she just wanted to be held. She walked towards Nikki and wrapped her arms around Nikki shakily as she cuddled into her colleague crying into Nikki's chest. Even with heels on Lorraine was still shorter than Nikki. She was shaking in fear as she buried her face into Nikki's chest crying loudly finally as her breathing was worse as she had to gasp for breath every so often due to crying so much.

Nikki was non the wiser to what had happened but knew it had to be something bad to make Lorraine this upset, she was normally so feisty and strong. She held her close, allowing her to have to comfort she seeked. "Talk to me." she whispered.

"I...c-can't." Lorraine sobbed, terrified of what Michael would do if she told.

"I won't tell anyone...I just want to help..."

Lorraine gulped as she tried to find her voice. "M..M..Michael..he..he..he.." Lorraine started stuttering as she didn't want to tell Nikki encase Michael found out that she told someone and she was terrified what he might do.

"Come on..lets go for a drink yeah? Then you can tell me while you have some time to gather your thoughts..what do you think?"

Nikki suggested to Lorraine as she didn't want to push her to talk but she really wanted to find out what had happened and why she was looking so vulnerable when she is usually the opposite and never let anything get her down.

Lorraine sighed knowing Nikki wasn't going to give up. All she wanted to do was go home and crack open the bottle of wine while letting her emotions run. She just nodded. Nikki broke off from the hug and went and collected the paperwork she'd come for, then headed out with Lorraine to the pub. Soon both were sat down with drinks, Lorraine with a large glass of wine, Nikki with non alcoholic since she was driving.

"So..what happened? You don't have to answer but if you don't I can't help you..but tell me in your own time..I'm not going to force you to tell me.." Nikki said to Lorraine as she took a drink of her lemonade.

Lorraine was holding the glass of wine in her hand and still shaking slightly. She was sat in the corner of the booth they were sat in as she just looked up at Nikki with blood shot eyes from crying. Nikki put a hand on Lorraine's arm to show her that she was listening and showed Lorraine that she wanted to help her.

Lorraine thought for a moment, composing a sentence. She really wanted to tell Nikki, she trusted Nikki. "Michael...he umm..." she stuttered, unable to complete the sentence.

Nikki listened, rubbing her arm reassuringly, "It's okay, continue in your own time."

"He r-raped me." Lorraine broke back down into uncontrollable sobs.

Nikki's eyes opened widely as she was shocked. "He..raped you?" Nikki asked making sure she heard correctly.

Lorraine just nodded sobbing into her hands uncontrollably. Nikki sighed and pulled Lorraine into a hug. Lorraine flinched at first looking up thinking it was Michael or someone out to hurt her. Nikki just smiled at her and opened her arms as she spoke "I'm not going to hurt you Lorraine..". Lorraine nodded as she moved closer towards Nikki and cuddled into her wanting to be held again.

Lorraine finally felt safe in Nikki's arms, even though she was still terrified, Nikki relaxed her. Nikki wondered what to do, she knew she couldn't say anything for Lorraine's sake. "Would you like me to drop you off home?"

Lorraine froze, if she went home, that meant she would have to be alone and right now she was desperate not to be. "If..you..um..stay..for..a..drink.." Lorraine stuttered through sobs as she wanted Nikki to stay with her for company and so that she could stay in Nikki's arms. Her car was left at school as they had came to the pub in Nikki's car because Lorraine was in no fit state to drive.

"I'll stay for a drink yeah.." Nikki nodded to Lorraine. After Nikki said that Lorraine started to calm down a little more because she knew she'd be safe at home with Nikki. "Finish your wine and then we'll go?" Nikki suggested as she took the last swig of her lemonade.

Lorraine nodded, allowing the remaining few mouthfuls to dampen her throat. Soon both woman had got to their feet and had jumped into Nikki's vehicle. Nikki relied on Lorraine's directions, having no idea where her boss lived. She was surprised when she saw just how big the house was, she should have guessed as this was Lorraine.

"Nice place.." Nikki said as she turned off the engine in Lorraine's drive. Lorraine didn't say a word she was just looking out of the window with her hand resting against her lips as she bit on her finger. Nikki placed a hand on Lorraine's leg which made her jump as she turned around noticing that it was Nikki she breathed out again letting her body relax again because she knew Nikki was there to comfort her and be there for her and not to hurt her. "We getting out then? Or we staying here for the remainder of the night?" Nikki asked smiling slightly as she looked at Lorraine who was just looking at Nikki.

Lorraine carefully got herself out of the car, leading Nikki to her front door. She sieved around in her handbag for her keys, finally finding them. She struggled to put the key in the door, her hand still shaking badly.

"Let me help you." Nikki smiled taking the key and fitting it into the lock, twisting it and allowing them in. She followed Lorraine in admiring the décor.

"Can I get you a drink?" Lorraine asked

"Just some lemonade please." Nikki smiled.

Lorraine got Nikki a glass of lemonade and herself some vodka, hoping it would melt the pain away. They were both sat in the lounge, silence lingering above them.

Lorraine couldn't help but stare at Nikki. 'Her perfect brown eyes, her slim face, the way she had her hair tucked neatly behind her ears, her slim build..all these thoughts were running through her mind. Perfect breasts. No! Lorraine you're straight!' Lorraine told her self as she closed her eyes and shook her head them opened her eyes again. She couldn't take her eyes off Nikki; having feelings for someone else who cared made it easier to bare what had happened with Michael.

Lorraine got up as she went and sat on Nikki with a leg either side of her colleague. She cuddled into Nikki wanting to feel safe in her arms. Nikki felt a little bit uncomfortable with how Lorraine was sitting but she didn't want to tell Lorraine because it was making Lorraine relax and calm herself down from what had happened with Michael. Lorraine pulled away but still with her arms wrapped around Nikki's neck as she looked at Nikki. "I'm sorry if I've made you feel uncomfortable, I just, well, I feel safe in your arms, I hope I haven't creeped you out and I hope you don't mind" Lorraine said to Nikki looking into her deep blue eyes.

"It's alright, you're relaxed." Nikki whispered watching Lorraine. She still felt so sorry for her.

"Thank you for everything you've done tonight, I really appreciate it, no ones ever been so nice..." Lorraine whispered, things still fresh on her mind from the late afternoons events, she continued to look for a distraction.

Nikki rubbed her back soothingly, "I could hard lines ignore you." Nikki whispered back.

"I suppose, but most people would of gave up trying to find out what was wrong but you didn't" Lorraine replied pouting cutely at Nikki. She looked at Nikki's lips. She wondered what it would feel like to have Nikki's lips on her own. Nikki was saying something to Lorraine but Lorraine just starred at Nikki's lips.

"Hello? Earth to Lorraine?" Nikki giggled slightly.

Lorraine shook her head as she couldn't peel her eyes off Nikki's lips. "Sorry what did you say?" Lorraine asked.
"I said well I am not..." Nikki was cut short by Lorraine leaning in and locking her lips with Nikki's.

Nikki was a little surprised but returned her kiss; she'd always admired the feisty benefactor since she'd come to Glasgow. The softness of Nikki's lips on hers made Lorraine tingle, the feeling was heavenly as well as the distraction from everything that had happened. Nikki wondered if this could be the start of something but knew not to get her hopes up in case Lorraine's emotions were messing.

They kissed multiple times before Lorraine got caught in the moment which was distracting her and letting her forget what had happened with Michael, as she started unbuttoning Nikki's blouse as she wanted to explore her colleague more and wanted to feel loved again. She was really starting to question her sexuality now. She always knew she was straight but after kissing Nikki she knew it felt right.

Nikki pulled away as she spoke. "Woah, woah, woah Lorraine, you're going too far now, this isn't what you want, you just want a distraction from Michael" Nikki sighed talking softly too Lorraine.

Lorraine stopped and looked down, "Sorry...yeah you're right." she whispered running a hand through her hair, "It'll be stupid of me to do anything like that after what happened but I can't really hide the fact that I do have feelings for you...the kiss felt so right." she mumbled.

Nikki tilted her chin up, "I know it did...we can give it a shot at being together but you're in no fit state for what you tried. I will support you but slowly, you need to recover first..." Nikki's voice was soothing, caring.

Lorraine nodded in reply. "I know, I'm sorry, I just..got caught up in the moment..sorry..I just.." Lorraine spoke shrugging before she added. "Well I guess I just wanted to feel loved by someone again..and well..you kissing me back just made me feel loved again..I'm sorry" Lorraine sighed.

"Its alright, don't be sorry" Nikki smiled. "How about we have a drink, watch a film and have cuddles?" Nikki suggested stroking Lorraine's cheek as Lorraine slid off Nikki and sat on the sofa next to her.

Lorraine nodded, "I'd like that..." she whispered getting up, "What can I get you to drink?" "Have you got any lagers?" Nikki asked knowing she could drive on one of them.

Lorraine nodded, "Okay, pick a film from over there." she gestured to the DVD rack. Nikki nodded going over to look for a DVD while Lorraine got some drinks, she was happy Lorraine had opened up to her. Lorraine soon came back in with a lager and white wine.
"Seen any you fancy watching?" Lorraine asked sitting back down on her sofa with her legs tucked to the side.

"Well there is this one..or this one.." Nikki said walking over to Lorraine with the two she had picked up. They were The Woman In Black which was a horror film or Paranormal Activity 4.

Lorraine hated Horror films. She looked at them as she sighed. "Really? You couldn't of chosen a comedy or action?" Lorraine asked looking scared about watching one of them.

Nikki picked out a comedy, not wanting to scare Lorraine, "How about this one?". Lorraine smiled, "That's better." she smiled taking the DVD and putting it on. Soon Lorraine and Nikki were sat on the sofa together enjoying the film. "Nik..." Lorraine started.
"Mmm?"

"Stay tonight...I don't want to be alone." she whispered sheepishly.

Nikki looked at her, pulling her in for a hug, "Course I will."

"Good.." Lorraine smiled happily as she lent up and kissed Nikki again. After an hour into the film of Peter Kay Live, Lorraine's doorbell rung. "Who the hell is that at this time of night?" Lorraine frowned as it was half nine. She got up looking out the peep hole as she said to Nikki, "Its my sister, get the paper work out and turn the tv off, make it look like we are here for business" Lorraine said to Nikki as Nikki nodded getting the papers out and putting them out on the table. Lorraine sorted herself out and opened the door to her sister Amanda.

Nikki acted like she was busy figuring out some numbers. Lorraine lead Amanda in out of the cold, secretly just wanting to shut the door, still terrified someone was out to get her. "Long time no see..." Lorraine started.

"I could say the same." Amanda replied glancing into the lounge, "Didn't realise you had company...sorry."

"It's fine, it's Nikki. We work together. She's helping me with some paperwork." Lorraine smiled, "Did you come for a reason?" she asked Amanda.

"Yeah..erm..can I stay with you for a while?" Amanda asked biting her lip as she took her wet coat off from the down pour of rain falling down.

"Erm..sure..why?" Lorraine asked hesitant but then agreeing because she didn't want to see her baby sister end up somewhere horrible. Amanda was 21 years old, she was the baby one of the 3 sisters and Lorraine was the eldest.

"Can I ask where my room is? I wanna get changed." Amanda shivered a little. Lorraine nodded taking her upstairs and showing her to one of the spare rooms before going back down to Nikki.

"Is she okay?" Nikki asked. Lorraine nodded, "She just needed somewhere to stay, I have enough room.". Nikki felt slightly out of place, "I erm guess you won't want me hanging around." she mumbled.

Lorraine didn't want Nikki to go, she was scared of going to bed, being in a room on her own.

"Erm..I guess not..um.." Lorraine sighed looking down disappointed because she really wanted to spend the rest of her night with Nikki but couldn't know that her sister was here.

"Hey don't look so sad, I'll see you tomorrow yeah?" Nikki asked standing up after putting the paper work in a pile to take home. She lifted Lorraine's chin up with her hand as she looked into her lovers eyes. "Text me?" Nikki asked not knowing whether she should kiss Lorraine in case Amanda came down and caught them.

Lorraine nodded, annoyed that Amanda ad turned up. She knew she was never going to get any sleep now, she'd be up all night worrying. She got to her feet and gave Nikki a quick kiss. "I'll see you tomorrow, get some sleep." she whispered to Lorraine before leaving, she hadn't wanted to leave Lorraine, worried about her but she knew there wasn't her place with Amanda there. She drove herself home. Lorraine had gone upstairs and into her en suite bathroom for a shower.

Lorraine washed herself over three times. She felt dirty from the incident with Michael so she wanted to be clean and fresh and she thought about Nikki. When Nikki was around Lorraine felt like jelly, she loved the way Nikki laughed, smiled, how she always smelt of bubble gum and how she was this feisty woman who wouldn't let anyone or anything get in her way. Her thoughts drifted over the two of them together. They were now an 'item'. Lorraine smiled at the thought of having Nikki as her...girlfriend.

Nikki had gone home and changed into her pyjamas and was now sitting on the bed thinking about Lorraine. She'd fallen for Lorraine, always finding her flawless and was happy to be her partner. She wondered how she was coping on her own. Lorraine was now curled up in her bed, her thoughts all over the place as she continued thinking about her and Nikki but Michael clouded her thoughts. She text Nikki, 'Hope you got home safely, I'd better let you get some sleep. X'

Nikki heard her phone buzz on the bedside table as she reached over to get it. She opened the text as she smiled before typing out a reply 'hello princess, yes i got home very safely thank you, hope you are ok, tbh i can't really sleep at the moment because I miss you too much!:) xxx ' She sent the text and re-read Lorraine's text as she smiled at Lorraine caring that she got home ok.
