Chapter 4
I surprisingly didn't go out last night. After I finished my homework from Ms. Carlin's class and my math class, Chels showed up. I ended up helping her with some of her homework and then we just hung out in our room catching up on latest events in each others life. I told her about Ms. Carlin and she impressed me when the only thing she asked me was if I wanted to date her. I told her that she doesn't interact with her students unless they need help with something. Me and Chels had a great night and we both agreed we need to do it more often. Anyway, I have my one class today, Marketing. It's actually a fairly easy class and I kind of like it. But I still can't wait for Friday although it does kind of suck because then I won't see Ms. Carlin for 2 days. After my marketing class is over I head back to my room to do the work so I won't have to do it over the weekend or Monday night. It's not like there is anything else to do around here really anyway, it's the middle of the day.
~Later that night~
I texted Jess and asked her if she wanted to go out tonight. She replied back that she wanted to but doesn't get off work til 9 and by the time she gets home and gets ready it would be about 10. I told her that was fine I would meet her at the diner to get something to eat so that's where I'm at right now. I just got done eating my dinner when she walked over and said she was ready to go.
"But it's only 8:30"
"Nicole got here early and asked if I wanted to go ahead and leave cuz she could use the extra hours. Her 2 year old son is having some medical problems but she doesn't have the money for the hospital bills and her ex husband hasn't been around since Jeremy was born"
"Oh wow that sucks."
"Yea but she is making due"
"Do you know what is wrong with him?"
"No she won't really tell anyone"
"Do you think she is lying about it?"
"No I know she isn't. You can tell by the way she talks about her son and she is not the type of person to lie about something like that. Plus she has brought in the hospital papers so the managers know what's going on in case for some reason she has to call out or is at the hospital. I know he was in the hospital for like a month and got out right before Christmas."
"Wow that's really sad. I hope everything is ok with her and her son."
"Yea we are trying to come up with a way to help raise money for her but she doesn't know that."
"Well let me know if you need any help"
"Will do. You ready to go?"
"Yup let's go"
We headed to her apartment so she could take a shower and get ready. Even though she was done working a half hour early, she still wasn't ready til 10. Thankfully we are on our way to club now. When we get to the club, there is long line waiting to get in. Of course we don't have to wait to get in one because I am Raife Davies daughter and two we are regulars here. We come here at least 4 nights week if not more. When I walk in I notice that there are a lot of girls, which is a good think as long as they aren't completely straight. First thing me and Jess do is walk up to the bar and get a drink. Once we are happy with drinks in our hands we start scoping the place out trying to land on some hotties. As I was scanning the room, a pair of familiar blue eyes caught my attention.
"Oh my god"
"What's wrong?"
"This so can't be happening"
"What can't be happening?"
"You know my instructor I was telling you about?"
"Yea… Wait, is she here?"
"Yup I just saw her"
"Where?"
I slowly turn around trying to not to make it obvious but when I turn around she is gone. I start scanning the room again but this time I am looking for her. I don't spot her.
"I don't know where she is now"
Then I heard her voice.
"Should you be out on a school night?" I turn around only to be face to face with my blonde hair, blue eyed angel.
"Ms. Carlin, should you be out on a school night?"
"Still answering my questions with a question"
"Pretty much"
"Should I expect you to be late to class in the morning?"
"No this won't affect me"
"Will you have your assignment done?"
"It was done last night"
"Really?"
"Yea. My classes are over so early in the day that I do my homework when my classes are done so I can do whatever I want that night or over the weekend without worrying about doing it."
"How smart of you"
"I try"
"You here alone?"
"No I'm here with my Jess. What about you?"
"I'm just out with some old college friends"
"That's cool"
"Yea well I'll see you in the morning"
"Yup see you in the morning" She turned around and walked away and back to her friends.
"Wow Ash, she is hot!"
"I know"
"Now I see why you love that class"
"Shut up"
"Nope"
"See any girls that spark your interest yet?"
"Yea I see a red head over there eyeing me up, I'll catch you later"
And she's off. I won't be seeing her the rest of the night. I started looking around the club but there was no girl catching my eye so I just sat at the bar drinking my drink when someone sat next to me. I was afraid to look because I was afraid it was Ms. Carlin again. But thankfully when I did look it wasn't.
"Pretty girl like yourself shouldn't be sitting her all by herself."
"Really? You going to do something about it?"
"If your lucky"
"Buy you a drink?"
"Sure, rum and coke"
"Nice" I signaled for the bartender and he told him to get her a rum and coke. A few minutes later he returned and handed her the drink.
"So what's your name?"
"Brandy"
"Well Brandy nice to meet you, I'm Ashley"
"Nice to meet you"
"You here alone?"
"No I came with my friend but she has been dancing with this girl for almost an hour and now it looks like their lips are attached to each other."
When I turned around to look at her friend I recognized the lips attached to her friends and couldn't help but laugh making her look at me funny.
"Sorry, your friend seems to be making out with my friend"
"Nice"
"Yea"
"So do you dance?"
"Depends, are you asking?"
"Maybe"
"Then maybe"
She takes that as a yes because she grabs my hand and starts leading me to the dance floor. Once we were there she turned around and pressed her back to my front and immediately started dancing on me. Now I'm a pretty damn good dancer but this girl had some moves. She turned around making us front to front. She was dancing and grinding on me definitely putting on a show for everyone. When the song comes to end we stand up and look around to notice that everyone had stopped dancing and had there eyes on us. When I was scanning the crowd that had formed, my eyes once again landed on the same blue eyes that I find myself looking at on a daily basis. She had this look on her face that I couldn't quite read. It almost looked like she was jealous, was Jess right. Could she like me? She says that she doesn't interact with her students but I'm going to see how far I can push her.
I walk over to Ms. Carlin with a smirk on my face and start flirting just a little bit just to test the waters.
"Did you enjoy the show?"
"I've done better"
"Oh is that a challenge Ms. Carlin?"
"In your dreams Ms. Davies"
"Only for the past 3 nights but looking forward to more"
"Oh so we're dreaming about me now?"
"Maybe"
"Just maybe huh?"
"Just maybe. Would you like to prove your dancing skills to me now on the dance floor?"
"I told you Ashley, I don't interact with my students other then helping them."
"But technically right now your not my teacher, we're just 2 people at a club having a good time."
"True but what makes you think I would want to dance with you in the first place"
"Cuz of the way you were looking at me when I got done dancing"
"I wasn't looking at you in any way"
"Uh huh whatever helps you sleep at night Carlin"
"Ha ha whatever Davies"
"I beginning to think your just scared cuz you don't have any moves"
"Fine you wana see some moves I'll show you some moves"
She grabs me by the arm and drags me to the dance floor. Once we're there she puts her hands on my hips and begins to move our bodies to the music. The song that was playing when we first got on the dance floor was going to be ending soon so we just kinda swayed til another song came on. When the next song came on, it must have been a good song for her because she suddenly started grinning while looking at me. She turned around putting her back to my front and started dancing in front of me but not for long. Then she turned back around and I noticed that her eyes had gone a shade darker then what I'm used to seeing. She started using my body as pole for her to dance on and trust me I wasn't complaining. When the song was over, she looked at me and smirked knowing she had just accomplished her goal. I followed her off the dance floor and to the bar.
"Damn Carlin, you got some moves"
"Your not to bed yourself there Davies"
"Yea well I know I can dance but when I got someone like you dancing with me it's hard to make my body function."
"Oh is that so?"
"Yup"
"Good to know"
"Can I buy you a drink?"
"Um no. I'm actually gona get out of here soon"
"Just one drink"
"Nah I'm gona pass. I'll see you in the morning though"
"Yea ok I'll see you in the morning."
"And Davies, I'll take that drink another night" She just winked at me. I think Ms. Carlin is going to be breaking her rule on not interacting with her students.
