Preciously
The couple chatted happily as they made their way to the office.
"So we're still on for this weekend?" Rachel asked her husband as they went through the inner office.
"Yeah course we are". Adam answered as they pasted Janeece.
Janeece being the nosy parker that she was. Butted in.
"The two of ya headin' away for the weekend?" She asked swinging in her chair, of which Rachel had asked her a thousand times not to do, not that she listened of course.
"Yes Janeece we are". Rachel answered.
"Cool, were ya headin'?" Janeece proceeded.
"Just out to the country side". Adam answered this time seeing as his wife was getting annoyed by the young teen.
Before she could asked anymore questions Rach cut her off.
"We're really Janeece so we have to get on". Rachel told her, trying to keep her tone professional.
"Oh ok, oh before I forget there is someone in your office waiting just said that she needed to see you, wouldn't give me her name, cheeky sod". Janeece told her boss in annoyance.
"Ok thank you, Janeece". Rachel replied and turned on her heels.
Adam and Rachel opened the door of her office and they were both surprised to see the person that was standing there.
Melissa.
Present time.
"Melissa, what are you doing here? You aren't meant to be here till Monday?" Rachel asked curiously.
"I thought I'd surprise you by coming a few days early". Melissa smiled at her older sister.
"Well like I told you on the phone, I'm really busy, Mel ". Rachel replied frostily.
"Alright, there's no need to be snappy what is it? Time of the month?" Melissa sniggered at her own joke.
"Wash your mouth out and what do you want?" Rachel asked, glaring at her younger sister.
"Duh, I came to see you, silly". Melissa replied as she plastered ta fake smile on her face. To which Rachel copied, as she sat down in her high backed chair.
"Yeah right pull the other one, Mel. What do you really want?" Rachel asked annoyed.
"Who's he?" Melisa asked rudely, trying to change the subject.
"Don't try and change the subject, what do you want?" This time Rachel raised her voice making it clear that she wasn't messing around.
"I need a little cash just to tie me over". Melissa told her sister.
Rachel laughed and rolled her eyes.
"I knew there was something you really are a joke, the answer is no. now leave". Rachel yelled, sick of cleaning up her sisters messes and she wasn't going to do it this time.
"But Rach I'm really stuck". Melissa huffed.
"I don't care, it's your problem". Rachel smirked at her. Twirling in her chair while she played with a pen between her fingers.
"Some sister you are". Melissa hissed.
"And you wonder why Eddie left; look at the state of you Melissa". Rachel yelled, finally losing her patients as she stood up so fast her chair hit the wall with thud.
"You what? Who told you that?" Melissa yelled back just as loudly as her sister.
"Your son, you knew the one that you couldn't look after". Rachel argued back.
"Rach, I'm going to go and we'll talk later". Adam whispered to her as the sisters had a standoff.
"Oh Adam love I forgot you were there, no stay there is no need to leave on Melissa's account". Rachel told her husband.
"Who's this you're shagging now? Someone else's boyfriend". Melissa sneered at her sister.
"Adam, this is the thing I call a sister Melissa. Melissa, Melissa this is my husband Adam" Rachel introduced the two of them.
"Husband?" Melissa asked thinking that she had misheard her sister.
"Yes, do you have a problem with that?" Rachel asked knowing that her sister didn't have a leg to stand on,
"No". Melissa whispered,
"Glad to hear it now if you don't mind I have a school to run". Rachel dismissed her.
"Fine, but I'll be back to see my son". Melissa spat.
"You do that". Rachel smirked and sarcastically waved her sister off.
Adam let out a Wesel as Melissa slammed the door behind her.
"So that's Melissa?" He asked the rhetorical question.
"Yeah and thinks if she flutters her eyelashes she can get whatever she wants". Rachel replied.
"Do you think she'll be really back?" He asked his wife.
"Yeah if she thinks there's something in to for her, she will". Rachel told him.
"She sounds great". Adam replied, sarcastically.
"Tell me about it". Rachel muttered under her breath so that only the two of them could hear it.
"You aren't going to give money, are you?" Adam asked, already knowing the answer.
"Am I heck, she can go Wesel". Rachel told him.
"Enough about her, these classes I want to teach I've been thinking and with Jennings gone and you can say no if you want to, but I was thinking of maybe going back to teaching full time. I mean I have a full teaching degree and you wouldn't to haunt for a new head of food technology and we could give Rose the head chef position". Adam explained to his wife.
"I think that's a great idea darling, how long have you been thinking about it?" Rachel asked with a beaming smile.
"Just over the summer holidays and all that with ruby last year and the kids missing out like that, you really think I should go for it?" He asked her.
"What's stopping you?" Rachel replied with a question instead of an answer.
"It's just it's been a while since I've been in the classroom". Adam confessed.
"It's like riding a bike, once..." Adam cut her off.
"You learn you never forget". He finished for her.
"Exactly!" Rachel smiled back at him.
"Great, obviously I'll have to be interviewed". This time it was Rachel's turn to cut him off.
"Which you'll breeze". Rachel reassured her husband.
"We'll see like you've always said there is no other school like Waterloo road". Adam smiled at his wife.
"Now you're getting it". Rachel laughed.
"Yeah yeah yeah, so this weekend, I've spoke to a mate of mine and said that it was fine to rent the cottage for the weekend". Adam informed her.
"Oh great a lovely weekend away. I can't wait; this week can't go by fast enough for my liking". Rachel replied.
"You and me both, you and me both". Adam seconds it.
Ok well now that that's sorted I will get on the phone to the LEA and set up an interview". Rachel told her husband, looking at him as she picked up the phone.
"And don't look so worried you'll be great in that interview, piece of cake". She smiled at him.
"Ok well I'm done for the day, so I'm going to head into town and grab a few bits and I will see you at home". He told her, rounding the desk and giving her a peck on the cheek.
After the I love you's and see you laters, the couple parted ways.
