Part Three

The day seemed to go y quite quickly after that; Karen was sat at her desk when there was a knock on her office door. It was dinner so the possibilities of who could e o the other side of that door were endless. She sighed and placed the sandwich she was eating down on the plate In front of her.
"Come In" she said in the direction of the door.
The door slowly opened and the person behind the door was revealed to be jess. Karen smiled at the sight of her youngest daughter.
"Jess" Karen smiled. "What can I do for you?" she continued.
Jess shut the door and walked further into the room. "You're in an awfully good mood all of a sudden, mum" Jess said sarcastically as she sat down in front of Karen, at her desk.
Karen ignored her Daughter's words. "I'm glad you're here actually, I'm going out tonight. Can you keep an eye on harry for me, I'll give you some money for a take out, you can have Vicky over if you want. I shouldn't be home too late, but just in case, ill take the spare key, then I'm out locked out if you decide to go to bed" Karen smiled t her daughter hoping she wouldn't ask who she was going out with.
"Sure, I came to ask if Vicky could come round anyway" she smiled at her mum. She turned to leave, then turned back to face Karen. "Have a nice night with Mr. Scotcher, and I wouldn't bother taking the spare key... Me and harry will be up before you get home tomorrow" she winked at her mum knowingly. Karen's mouth dropped open before replying. "How do you know out me and rob? I mean there's nothing going on...Were just friends..." Karen stuttered out, nearly laughing at how unconvincing she sounded to herself, never mind jess. Jess grinned at her mother.
"Well, here's a tip for you. Next time you want to have one of your 'passionate moments' do not do it in full view of everyone who's wandering the corridors. I saw you both this morning in the English room" she winked and with that she left the room leaving Karen speechless but amused. She was so caught up in Rob this morning that she forgot anyone could see them. She sighed and turned her attention back to her computer screen, smiling at what she saw.
'1 new E-mail' she clicked on it waiting for it to open.
To: Karen Fisher. Subject: Later Date: May 13 2012. 13:39 From: Rob Scotcher would you prefer to come back to mine and have a drink and something to eat instead of going to the pub? You're Call. :- )
Karen grinned. She hit the 'reply' button, quickly typing out a reply to Him.
To: Rob Scotcher. Subject: Later Date: May 13 2012. 13:41 From: Karen Fisher. That sounds lovely; I'm very much looking forward to later ;-) Come to my office? I need to speak to you.
His reply was almost instant.
To: Karen Fisher. Subject: Later Date: May 13 2012 13:45 From: Rob Scotcher.
Thank god for frees ey? On my way, my lovely lady.
Karen's inner goddess was doing summersaults, back flips, you name it. She was close to collapsing in a heap from how unexpectedly well the day had gone. Five minutes later there was a knock her office door. "Come in" she said in a flirtatious tone. The door opened revealing a grinning rob scotcher. He leant casually on the door frame, waiting for her to speak. "When I said 'come to my office' I did me come in?" she a laughed a little. He walked into her office, and over to her desk, leaning over it and kissing her lips gently.
"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" he asked. His lips hovering dangerously close over hers.
"Jess. She saw our 'moment' this morning... and I'm pretty sure she's going to go and tell aiden" she explained.
"Karen, I dot mind if you don't. I think I'm falling in love with you... We can't keep it secret forever" he added, cupping her face in his hands.
'He's falling in love with you too!' he inner goddess yelled at her. Her subconscious faded into stunned silence.
She grinned up t him. "I'm falling in love with you too" she leant up and kissed his lips passionately, his tongue rushed cross her lower lip, pleading for entrance which she granted without hesitation.
Meanwhile in the lunch hall, Jess was sat with Vicky when she spotted aiden walk in.
"One sec Vicks" she said as she got up, and made her way over to him.
"Aide!" she shouted over to him, making him stop in his tracks. He looked round at her, and smiled.
"Jess, you aright?" he asked. She nodded before putting her hand on his arm.
"Did you know?" she asked.
"Know what?" he asked, genuinely confused.
"About them!" she said, grinning.
"About who? Jess, just get to the point!" he said, laughing a little.
"My mum and your dad! They're an item! They're going out tonight" she said grinning at him.
"Oh my god! How do you know?" he sounded shocked.
"Caught them this morning!" she winked. "Don't tell anyone. They want to keep it secret for now, I think" she smiled as she left ad sat back down next to Vicky. Jess got her phone out and texted harry.
To: Haz Oi, Lil' bro. Mum's out tonight, what takeaway do you want? Also you can bring a friend home. I'm bringing Vicky. See you later squirt.
She hit 'send' and he replied almost instantly, it didn't surprise her; he was always glued to his phone.
To:Jess Okay, where's she going? Pizza or Chippy I'm not bothered. I'm bringing Denz.
To: Haz she's going out on a date. I'll tell you the rest later.
Back in Karen's Office, her and rob were cuddled up on the sofa at the side of the room. He took in the sweet scent of her hair, and rubbed down her arm. He kissed her hair and tightened his grip round her. The bell went for the end of dinner Rob and Karen untangled themselves from each other's arms, standing up and hugging each other before departing from each other. "See you at three" he said blowing a kiss in her direction, before leaving, shutting the door behind him. Leaving her sat there thinking; 'well today's gone better than I ever thought it was going to go' she hugged herself and threw her head back smiling.
