Finding Our Future chapter38
"Here, let me get that," Grant commented referring to the pen Haley had dropped on the floor.
When he leaned down, he took the opportunity to look up Haley's skirt, making her uncomfortable as she could feel his eyes roaming over her body.
"Here you go", he spoke handing the pen back to her smirking softly.
"You're fucking unbelievable. Especially in our current surroundings," she spoke moving her legs closer together trying to be professional with the students walking around the hallway.
"Mmm yes fucking, is what I would like to be doing to you Miss James. Nice panties by the way. I'm sure what's underneath is even sweeter." He whispered in her ear before pinching her ass.
"Seriously would you just stop already. It's never going to happen. Trust me," she muttered softly.
"Mmm I told you before I like it when you're feisty Haley and looking sexy as hell. It's a total turn on Miss James," he whispered again before letting her go into her classroom.
"Fuck you," she mumbled just loud enough for him to hear.
"No remember that's my fantasy to do with you," he replied walking away.
Unbeknownst to them Principal Turner was down the hall watching the events between them unfold.

Haley was feeling unsettled after her earlier encounter with Grant. It wasn't until lunch time that she managed to check her phone and saw that she had a good morning text from Nathan that she must have missed earlier.
"Sorry I missed your text earlier. It's been a crazy busy day. I can't wait to talk to you later. Have a good rest of your day, xoxo." She texted back to him.
"Miss James,"
"Oh Principal Turner, is everything okay?" She asked a little shocked to see him.
"Actually the inspectors found a gas leak, so I have to send everyone home. If you could explain to your next class, that would be great and then you're free to leave too."
"Okay I will. How long do they think it will take to fix the problem?"
"They said about 48 hours, so I'm just putting the next two days down as teacher work days and that will give you a chance to do lesson plans and get a very early start on student reports."
"Okay, that sounds great. What about the basketball game this Friday?"
"Oh we managed to change it to an away game, which worked out well. Hopefully Nathan will be back in time for that."
"Yes he is hoping to be too."
"Umm Haley, can I also ask you another question?"
"Yes of course," she answered a little unsure where the conversation was going to go.
"The other day I couldn't help but notice that you seemed a little uncomfortable around Grant? I thought the same thing again this morning when I saw your interaction in the hallway."
"Umm well I'm still really trying to figure him out right now. Honestly, I just think that he is trying to be overly friendly or something." She spoke trying to justify his actions.
"Haley look, you don't need to cover for him. You wouldn't be the first female member of the staff to report him for sexual harassment. What I witnessed this morning is definitely grounds for that, but I can't do anything without you reporting to me first."
"I appreciate your concern Principal Turner, but I honestly think there is no point. It's only the start of the year, and I still need to work with him. It would be his word against mine too, which could make things more stressful. Please don't worry, I can handle him."
"While that's all true Haley, I don't want my staff living in fear every time they come into work. It's not solely your responsibility to handle him alone either. Look, just think it over, and if things start to get worse, then you know where to find me."
"Thank you, and I will." She answered smiling softly at him.

"Okay everyone take your seats and just listen please."
"What's going on Miss James?"
"If you give me a second, I will explain to you all."
"Are we getting to go home?"
"Yes, there has been a gas leak, and Principal Turner thinks it's best for everyone's safety."
"Yes, party time ya'll
"Just because you're getting a few surprise days off doesn't mean that I don't expect you to still be studying."
"Aww man, Miss James"
"Mr. Fields, if you want to keep your place on the basketball team, then I suggest you take my advice and do the work I'm about to assign."
"Fine,"
"Oh and everyone, there will be a pop quiz on this material so I will be able to tell who has, and who hasn't done the work. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes Miss James."
"Good then. So read the first five chapters and a book report is due on my desk when you return back to school please. Class dismissed."
Once the class had filtered out, Haley began to get her own things together and head out of school as soon as possible.
"Well this has made an interesting end to the day Miss James", Grant spoke as he saw her coming out of her room
"Yeah it has,"
"So how about we have a second date? You know since the boyfriend is out of town and all of that", he asked walking closer to her.
"Not a chance in hell", she replied with a look of disgust on her face as she glared back at him.
"Oh come on, it will be fun. We can get to know each other even better," he spoke grabbing her waist.
"Get your fucking hands off me," she spat back at him as he stroked the side of her face.
"See I knew you were still thinking about us fucking," he whispered leaning forward placing a soft kiss on her lips.
"Get the hell away from me Grant", she half shouted pushing him away, and dropping a few of her papers in the process.
"Geez keep your panties on," he commented smirking at her again.
"Just leave me the fuck alone," she spoke picking up the things she had dropped.
"Okay," he spoke leaning down grabbing her planner and walking away, as she continued to pick up the rest of her things, trying to get her mind back on track.

"Hi Haley, is everything okay?" Nathan questioned worriedly to her.
"Umm yeah! Why wouldn't it be? Is this a bad time to be calling you?"
"Oh no of course not. You can call me anytime Haley. It's just you are usually still teaching around this time."
Laughing a little "yeah I probably should have said that when you first answered the phone.
"Haley, are you sure everything is okay?" He spoke getting more and more worried about her.
"Nate, relax will you. There was a gas leak found by the inspectors, so Turner sent everyone home after lunch, that's why I'm not teaching."
"Good, that makes me feel better knowing that you're at home safe away from it."
"I would feel safer if you were here to protect me."
"Haley, did something more happen? Grant didn't try something on you did he?" He asked hearing the uncertainty in her voice.
"It's fine, he is just being his usual creepy dick self."
"Well you've certainly changed your opinion of him."
"He was just really pushing my buttons today. Honestly, I just want you here so we can be us again", she spoke feeling herself getting emotional.
"Haley, I told you before not to let him get to you. I wish I could be there for you. I only have a couple more meetings that I need to finalize, and then I will be straight home to spend time with you."
"God I'm sorry. You must think I'm such a girl for getting upset, but I just like it better when you're here. I can't wait until I get to see you again and for you to just hold me."
"It won't be long I promise, but for now I really need to get going to prepare for my next meeting. I'll talk to you later."
"Okay, bye. I love you Nathan."

"Look Clay, I'm asking you if there is any way that I can move these last few meetings please?"
"Nathan look, I know you're worried about Haley, but honestly if you work hard tonight and tomorrow you should be able to have everything worked out and be back here by Friday afternoon."
"Clay I get that, I do. I understand this is my job and I promised that I wouldn't let my relationship with Haley get in the way, but you didn't hear how she was talking. I think there is something going on with this Grant guy."
"Nathan, please, just get these last few meetings done, and I promise I will keep an eye on Haley, if that makes you feel any better."
"Fine! I swear to God Clay if I come back and he has so much as laid a hand on her, then I'm blaming you for not letting me come back early."
"Okay, I can deal with that. Now go prepare for the rest of these deals because we really need them Nathan." He spoke before hanging up the phone.

"Quinn, I'm not having a meltdown, I just miss Nathan. Missing a guy is a new experience for me."
"I get that Haley, but you don't need to feel alone though. I can always come over and stay until Nathan is back?"
"Thanks for the suggestion. Honestly Quinn I promise I'm okay. Look I'm a big girl, I can survive the next couple of days by myself."
"So does this mean that you're going to let Nathan share your bed again when he comes home?"
"You know what Quinn, I get that we still have a lot to work through, but these last few days away from him have made me realize that I don't want to be without him. If we want to make this work, then we need to get past all the hard things too."
"Wow you really are in love with him Haley Bob."
"I know, I think about him non-stop Quinn."
"You know I think that vibrator might be needed a lot sooner than I first thought."
"Shut up Quinn. I'm not discussing my sex life with you."
"Fine! At least have a look at them. You could even mention it the next time you talk with Nathan. I bet it will be a total turn on for him."
"On that note I'm going to go. I have a few things I need to get sorted out. Bye Quinn," she spoke ending the call before Quinn could say anymore.
After her conversation with Quinn, Haley decided to go have a shower. She was hoping it would distract her from thinking about Nathan so much.
"Relax; it won't be long till he is home." She thought to herself as she stood under the hot water.
She stood under the water enjoying the peace and quiet. Letting her mind wander back to her hot tub date, where she longed to have Nathan touching her in that way again.
Finishing up her shower, she stepped out letting the cold air hit her body, before grabbing the nearest towel and heading back into the bedroom.
"Where is it?" She spoke to herself looking around her vanity for her body lotion.
Realizing that she may have left it in the living room, she walked back in search of the lotion, finally finding it on the coffee table.
"There it is", she spoke grabbing it. Sitting down in the chair, she began to apply it to her legs, and then moved up her body, being careful not to unravel the towel from around her.
While sitting down in the chair, she thought she caught a glimpse of a shadow at her window. Debating whether to go look or not, she quickly decided against it and went back to applying her lotion before heading back into the bedroom to get dressed.
Looking through her clothes she decided to slip into a loose fitting tank top with no bra and a pair of bed shorts, as it was getting later.
Happy with her appearance, she headed back into the living room and sat down on the sofa ready to do some work stuff. She quickly pulled her wet hair up into a messy bun as her phone buzzed.
"Hey baby, are you free?" Nathan texted to her.
"Yes why?" She texted back.
Waiting a few seconds she saw the FaceTime call come up on her phone.
"Hey Haley, how's it going?" He spoke so happy to actually see her face.
"Better now that I'm getting to see you. I just got out of the shower, so it's good timing."
"Mmm don't put dirty naked thoughts of you in my head Hales."
"So what you're saying is that I shouldn't tell you that I'm not wearing a bra under this tank top", she flirted with him.
"Fuck Hales, you can't tease me like that. Especially when you're not here to work your magic on certain parts of my body", he spoke flirting back at her.
"Okay I'll stop teasing. Especially since we still do have a lot to talk about when you get back."
"I know, I think we are doing better and having this time apart had done us both some good."
"Yeah, I can definitely agree with you on that one. So I actually have a question for you, and it's okay if you don't want to answer."
"Sure, what is it?" He asked curiously.
"Umm well Quinn and I were just talking and she was teasing me about you like always, and she sort of suggested this idea to me. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with it, but she thinks it's something you would be into, and that it would maybe help us get back on track."
"Hales you're mumbling. You're not talking like couples therapy or something?"
"No I'm not talking about that. I don't think that our issues are that bad yet", she commented laughing at him.
"What is it?" He asked seeing the nervousness on her face.
"Um sexting and umm well maybe phone sex", she answered looking away from him.
"Don't you think we are a little early in our relationship for that?"
"Well yeah, that's what I said to Quinn. God I knew bringing this up was a bad idea. It's just that when I was in the shower just now, I couldn't help but let my mind go back to what we did in the hot tub, and so I just thought that sexting and phone sex would help prepare me and make me feel more comfortable for when we get to that point. If you think it's a bad idea then we don't have to?" She spoke flicking through her work stuff noticing that she couldn't find her planner.
"No, I like the idea. Actually I like the idea a lot, so if you're willing to try it, then I would definitely be up for it, pardon the pun", he spoke smiling as she finally looked his way.
"Oh Good! I was so worried about bringing it up to you."
"Don't be worried Haley, we can go as slow as you want until we get into the groove of it. Maybe I should go away more often, if you're going to make all these sexy suggestions?"
"No I still want you back soon. At least it might help both our desires until we see each other again."
"Speaking of Hales, I think it's time I go take a cold shower after all this sexy talk."
"Oh sorry, yeah I better go too and get some school work done. Think of me in your shower", she replied sultry leaving him totally shocked.
As she was about to settle down into her work, there was a knock at the front door, startling her a little.
"Grant!" She spoke totally caught off guard feeling vulnerable standing there in her tank top and shorts.
"Miss James, you look comfortable and cozy." He spoke roaming his eyes up and down her body.
"What the hell are you doing here?" She questioned to him.
"You forgot to pick this up earlier when you dropped all your stuff," he spoke holding up her planner.
"Okay, well how did you find out where I live? Did you follow me home or something?"
"Yeah, like I have really been sitting outside here just waiting for the perfect time to knock on your door."
"Actually I wouldn't put it past you", she spoke trying to grab her planner from him.
"If you must know, I looked up your address in the school system", he replied smirking at her.
"Well since you went to all that trouble, can I please have it back now?"
"Don't you want to invite me in as a thank you? You know have that little date we discussed", he spoke reaching out to try and touch her.
"Look! Please just give it back to me and go," she spoke stepping back from him.
"Fine, here you go. Have a nice night Miss James," he commented smirking before walking away leaving her feeling uncomfortable.
Once she was sure he was gone, she quickly called Quinn.
"Hey, I know I said earlier that I was fine being here on my own, but do you think that I could maybe stay with you and Clay until Nathan get back?"
"Yes of course. Is everything okay?"
"I'll explain everything when I come over. Thanks see you soon Quinn."
Enjoy as always please review.
