Chapter 2
Jane and Robert joined the party. It was nearing midnight and they danced together. Jane was a great dancer and Robert knew he was too.
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Every one cheered.
Jane kissed Robert, lightly at first and as he responded to the kiss it became deeper. The crowd began to sing "Auld Lang Sine" and began to notice the couple still kissing on the dance floor.
"Am I going to have to throw a bucket of ice on you two" Ted bellowed drunkenly
Robert and Jane sheepishly broke the kiss and looked around at the people in the room. Someone put music back on and the noises of the party started again. Jane grabbed Robert and began to kiss him again. When the kiss ended she smiled at him. They began to dance. He had never experienced this intense of a physical reaction from just a kiss. Jane began to hum to the music. Robert liked the way her breath felt on his neck.
"Why don't we leave this party?" Robert asked her
"Blunt and to the point." She replied " Are you propositioning me?"
"Not unless you want to be" He laughed as he said this
A waiter appeared with a phone. He gave it to Jane.
"Yes, No? What? I'm on my way. Have you called 911? Good! I'm on my way now!" She shouted into the phone
"Robert, did you come in a car?" She said
"Yes why?"
"Because there is an emergency and I need to get somewhere fast. I may need a doctor"
"Wait calm down what are you talking about?"
"You asked me what I do, well, if you come with me you'll see. There isn't time to explain now. I will on the way. Are you going to help me or not?" She looked at him in a way that really gave him no choice. She looked a little scary and angry
"Let's go," he said thinking about how interesting this night was turning out to be.
The car screeched through the gates. The discreet sign on it said "Lakeside School for Girls". They arrived in front of a large stone building. Smaller dormitories surrounded it. One of them was engulfed in smoke. The fire department and emergency personal had arrived. The smoke was blinding and firemen were rescuing young women from the building. There were groups of girls standing around, they were from the other dorms, wrapped in blankest watching and crying. There were girls lying on the ground being attended too by paramedics and ambulances were screaming away from the school.
Jane jumped out of the car, almost before it stopped. Robert hit the ground running. He began evaluating girls and helping the paramedics. Jane began to speak to another woman.
Jane walked around to the groups of girls huddled together for warmth. The last ambulance left and the scene became much quieter. The fire department got the blaze under control. The fire chief and Jane spoke to each other. After their conversation, Jane noticed Robert standing alone near his car. She walked over to him.
"Thank you." She quietly said
"It's my job and now explain yours. Please indulge my fantasy that you are the headmistress of an all girls school."
"Fantasy Indulged" she smiled "According to the chief all the girls are fine the worst injures seem to be smoke inhalation."
"Yes, a few of the girls will spend the night in the hospital."
"I have to call parent's. Lucky for it's the holidays or there would be more students here. You want to see where I live?" and before he could answer she took his hand and began to lead him away.
