Kathan had finished the entire packet the same night. It wasn't that hard. Seeing Nala pull in, she kissed her brother goodbye on the cheek.
"Tell Mr. Reigns I said hello", her sister in law Elisabeth said.
Kathan rolled her eyes, laughing. Her brother Kris groaned. He knew his wife was just kidding. She and Kathan always ran into Roman at the grocery store and they would watch as women flocked to him.
So as not to be rude, he stands there and listens to them, nodding his head when he needs too. Kathan guessed they were all hopeful at a chance with him, maybe even a one night stand.
"If I see him", Kathan said, playing along.
"HaHa, very funny you two", Kris said.
She quickly walked out the door and to Nala's car.
"What's with the face?", Nala asked.
"Elisabeth and I were just messing with my brother. She told me to tell Mr. Reigns hello, Kris hates it", Kathan shook her head.
Nala laughed, before driving off.
"Speaking of Mr. Reigns, he showed up at my work", Nala said.
"What?", Kathan asked.
"I took your advice and asked him to help me. We just never set up when and what time", Nala said.
"Well when we get to school you can go to his class and ask. I have to drop of Mr. I give out homework on the first day back to school, packet", Kathan said.
Nala smiled.
"He's gotten under your skin", Nala said.
"Please, he's no match for me. I have a reputation to uphold. I'm sure by now the other teachers have filled him in", Kathan said.
"I thought you were terrified of him?", Nala asked.
"Nope, I thought about it last night, I'm not going to let him get the better of me. I'll just step my game up, no matter how sexy he is", she said.
Nala laughed and shook her head at her friend. Kathan looked out the window, trying to get Mr. Calaway out of her head, wasn't working. She didn't understand why she was feeling this way towards him. Getting to school, Kathan and Nala parted ways. She could see Mr. Calaway sitting at his desk, reading a newspaper. How could something so simple as that, make her swoon.
She shook her head, took a deep breath, and opened the door wide. He set his cup down and dropped his newspaper. Leaning back in his seat, he smirked as she approached. Opening her bag, she pulled out the packet and set it down on his desk in front of him. He looked down, before meeting her eyes.
"Its not due today", he said.
"I know, but I'm done", she said, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Probably all wrong", he said, lifting the first page.
"Excuse me, but I double check my work. I know it's right", she said.
He raised his brows.
"We'll see now, won't we", he said, leaning back in his seat, care free as can be.
Oh, he was good, Kathan thought. She wasn't about to let him have the last word.
"And I did want to switch out of your class", she said, before stomping away.
Mark laughed. She was something else. No student had ever challenged him like she had. Hell, he's never been attracted to his students before, not like he was with Kathan. He sat up and grabbed her packet, checking everything over. He smirked when he realized she had missed some. Oh, he had her now and he knew how aggravated she was going to be when he pointed it out to her.
So many thoughts ran through his head. He could keep her after school and force her to redo all of it. Just so he could spend some more time with her. He licked his lips, now finding what his friends have been talking about, tempting. Last night he got himself off in the shower because he simply couldn't get Kathan Daniels out of his head.
But what if she didn't find what he wanted, a good thing? What if she wasn't into him and made the mistake of making a move, only for her to tell on him? He would be fired and out of a job. He would be arrested and called a rapist. Which he wasn't. He would never force anyone to be with him, hell, he let his wife of five years walk away.
He would need to find out how she felt about him or if she was even interested, before he did anything stupid.
Kathan and Nala were at lunch, sitting with their friends.
"So you'll be meeting with him tonight? Alone?", Kathan asked, wiggling her brow.
Nala rolled her eyes.
"No, not tonight. After school, he asked me to stay after class ended and he would help me.", Nala said.
Kathan nodded.
"Are you going to start a fresh story or use one of the ones you have in your many journals?", Kathan asked.
"Probably start fresh", Nala said.
"I like the ones that are in your journals. Steamy and dirty, the way you describe Mr. Reigns is just hot.", Kathan said.
Kathan knew Nala had a wonderful ability to write. It came easy to her, but she was embarrassed to let anyone other than Kathan read them. Mostly because Kathan held her down and read them anyway.
"Sure Kathan, I'm going to show up with my journals and show Mr. Reigns my writing.", Nala said.
Kathan rolled her eyes.
"Use one of those and just put down a new name, it doesn't have to be his, he'll never know it was about him", Kathan said.
Nala shook her head.
"I just want to start fresh", Nala said.
"Start fresh or spend as much time with Mr. Reigns as you can?", Kathan asked, wiggling her brow.
Nala threw her napkin at Kathan, who laughed.
Mark was eating lunch with Roman and Glenn. Seth was busy flirting with the school counselor, Miss Nikki. Dean was who knows where, Randy goes home for lunch.
"Rollins, leave her alone, she's not into you", Mark shouted across the room.
Seth sent him the middle finger and they laughed. Glenn wiped the corners of his mouth.
"What's that?", Glenn asked, pointing to Kathan's packet.
"Kathan Daniels. She turned it in, uncompleted of course", Mark said.
Glenn shook his head with a laugh.
"Not to Kathan, trust me, I know this girl. You're going to tell her she forgot to answer some questions, she's going to let you know why she didn't answer them", Glenn said.
"What didn't she answer?", Roman asked after dumping his trash away.
"Mostly questions where you have to write in your answer", Mark said.
Glenn nodded.
"Trust me, ask her and she will have a smart ass answer for you", Glenn said.
"I look forward to it", Mark said.
Glenn and Roman laughed.
"I'm the one who can keep her after school, and it's not like I have anything to do after", Mark said.
"I thought you would have your hands full with her, but it seems like she's the one who's going to have her hands full with you", Glenn said, before standing and walking away.
Mark chuckled.
"Do you know where I can find Ambrose?", Mark asked Roman.
"Probably in his office fucking some poor young girl. He told me he had his eyes on a new one", Roman said.
Mark nodded.
"Why?", Roman asked.
"Just need to ask him, how he could tell the girl likes it, wants him", Mark whispered.
Roman smirked.
"Are you planning on what I think you're planning to do?", Roman whispered.
"Kathan, she's unlike anyone I've ever met. She tests me and keeps me on my toes. I'm not married anymore, and honestly, I can't stop thinking about her. I just don't know if I can go through with it", Mark said.
"I'm going to try", Roman said.
Mark nodded. He had to try, if only to get this temptation under control, before he does something that's going to land him in jail.
Getting to class, Kathan held her head up high and Nala laughed.
"You aren't going to war Kathan", Nala said.
"Pretty damn close, you don't know what this man might throw at me. I've got to be ready", Kathan said.
Nala nodded, an amused look on her face.
"I should go, don't forget I'm staying after so you'll need to find a ride home or walk", Nala said.
"I'll just wait by your car or wait in the park across the street", Kathan said as she walked into Mr. Calaway's class.
She backed into something solid.
"Or you can stay with me after school", Mr. Calaway whispered.
It sent a shiver down Kathan's spine, making her knees weak. She swallowed. His fingers lightly touched her hip, finding their way under her shirt. His fingertips were warm, she thought.
"Take your seat Miss Daniels", he said a little louder.
She quickly turned and he looked down at her. Something was definitely happening between them, but what? Neither of them knew, what they did know was that they wanted to find out. She made her way around him and to her seat. She exhaled and could feel her warm cheeks.
How was it possible that she could fall for her history teacher within a day. She was brought out of her thoughts as he placed her packet on her desk.
Incomplete
Was written on the front and a new packet was underneath the old one. She looked up to find him watching her. He smirked. She stood and set both packets down.
"Its complete", she said.
"No Miss Daniels, it's not. You didn't answer some questions and besides this packet isn't due till Friday", he said.
"I didn't answer those questions because they were bull", she said.
He raised his brows, the other students chuckled and oh'd. She crossed her arms over her chest.
"I'm glad you think that Miss Daniels, I guess you wouldn't mind staying after class to fill me in on why it's such bull, as you put it", he said.
She sighed. He smiled.
"Now take a seat", he said, pointing back at her desk.
After everyone had left class, he closed the door and walked over to her. Sitting in the seat in front of her, their knees touched and it was like a shock went through her.
"Now, tell me", he didn't get to finish.
She attached her lips to his and he didn't pull away. Finally realizing what she did, she pulled back.
"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't", he cut her off.
"Shut up", he said, standing and lifting her out of her seat, only to sit her down on her desk and moving between her legs.
Reattaching their lips, his hands on her hips. She moaned. Her hands going over his chest. He pulled away a bit.
"We should stop, this isn't the place we should be doing this", he whispered.
She nodded, agreeing before kissing him again. He smiled within the kiss. They stayed connected for what felt like forever to Kathan. His hands running over her, squeezing lightly. His touch was different, he knew what he was doing and she liked it. Finally pulling away, both breathing heavy.
"I should go", she whispered.
"I think that's a good idea", he whispered.
He moved aside to let her stand. She grabbed her bag, holding onto her desk to regain her balance and walked out. Almost forgetting where she was and what she was suppose to do. She stopped. She saw Napa coming out of Mr. Reigns class and they just looked at each other. Already knowing what had happened.
