Ok it's been a hell of a long time since I even considered working on this story. But since I got called into work, and I'm not really in the mood to work on Struggle, I figured I'd give it a try. I do apologize, but from now on this story will be in first person, it's the only thing I find I'm good at writing.

Oi...just for bitching's sake, I looked for 20 minutes just to find the right car models lmao...please enjoy...don't forget to review :D

The BMW X5 is the SUV model...took me forever to find it on the damn website lol

Oh..also changed the rating to T because of language in the first chapter, I should have noticed it sooner lol..oopsie.

Teacher's Pet
Chapter 2

I took a deep breath before loading Rune into the back seat of my car. I didn't have the car of my dreams. I always wanted a 1963 Ferrari 250GT Lusso. I remember watching my dad work on his when I was growing up. He always told me that I'd get it when I got my license. But sadly a drunk driver hit him and totaled the car. It doesn't matter now anyway, I'd never be able to drive it, not with Rune. I like what I drive now. My racing career easily pays for my BMW X5 SUV. It gives us more then enough room for when we go shopping or when I take him to his tee-ball practices with a few of his little friends.

"Mommy you're going to stay with me today right?" He chimed, there was a gleam of hope in his eyes as he looked up at me.

I smiled down at him. I never want to leave him, but today is his first day of school. I'm afraid to leave him, what if he gets hurt. "As long as your new teacher will let me stay, I promise I won't go anywhere, ok?"

The smile on his face grew wide as he bounced in his seat. "OK!"

I never thought I could love somebody as much as I could love this little boy. He's filled all the holes in my heart that were left by those guys in high school. Sadly, they were found not guilty of all the charges, they couldn't link the DNA to either of them, and amazingly they had a strong alibi that got them both off the hook. I don't care though, they've made no attempt to find me or my son. I climbed into the driver's seat, fastened my safety belt and backed out of the driveway. "Are you scared little man?"

"No..."

I could tell in his voice otherwise. He couldn't sleep last night at all. Even after he crawled into my bed, he tossed and turned all night, succeeding in keeping me up with him. The only friends he had ever been able to make and keep were the ones that played on his tee-ball team. I wonder sometimes if I'm trying too hard to protect him. He seems happy though, he's never yelled at me or anything for not letting him do something. He seems perfectly content with what he's able to do. Though I'm sure that will change as he gets older.

"When will we get there mommy?" He looked up at me.

"Soon honey. We're almost there."

Maybe he wasn't scared to go to school. I know I was petrified the day mom dropped me off for my first day of kindergarten. She didn't even come in with me, she couldn't even get the day off from work, she told me she tried, but they wouldn't allow it. My managers gladly let me have the day off. They all know what happened to me and how much I love Rune, as well as how scared I am to let him from my sight. Even at my races, he's sitting with my pit crew so I can see him every time I need new tires and fuel. He loves coming to my races, he says that's what he wants to do when he gets older. I'll be more then happy to teach him when he's old enough to drive, maybe he'll follow in my footsteps and be world renowned.

"Wow...is that the school?" He pressed his hands and face against the window to look at the passing building. "It's really big!"

I chuckled slightly at him and pulled into the parking lot. Before stepping from the car I grabbed his registration paper and got out. He quickly unbuckled his belt and followed me, his lunch box in his hands, his backpack over his shoulders. I took his hand in mine and walked into the building, along with several other parents and children. After glancing at the paper I looked up at the sign in the foyer and followed the arrow to the right room number.

The minute we walked into the room he ran off to the toy box, in awe of how many items were there, many of which he didn't have. Somehow I had a feeling that he'll want some of his own after today. I smiled at the thought and slid off my jacket, my eyes searching the room for the teacher. She was no where to be found. "Rune." I spoke and he looked up at me. "Can you come here for a minute."

"But I'm playing!" he frowned and fought back. I only sighed and walked over to him. I knelt down to help him out of his jacket.

"Please be careful honey." I stood up and walked to the rack on the wall to hang his coat and put his backpack and lunch box into a cubby hole. When I turned back around I spotted her.

She was absolutely gorgeous, long, flowing aqua hair. the florescent lights glinted on her amazing blue eyes. She had on just enough make-up to give her facial features some depth. I shook my head, then it hit me, one of these kids has to be hers. I watched her walk to the group of children by the toy box, paying extra care to Rune. She must have asked them if their parents were there, because I heard Rune say "That's my mommy over there." And he pointed to me.

"Mommy?" The aqua haired woman stood up to look at me, a questioning look in her eyes, then she approached me. "Hello, I'm Ms. Kaiou, the teacher." She hesitated when I didn't respond, I couldn't find the words. "Hello?"

My cheeks flustered and I cleared my throat. "I'm sorry." I extended my hand to her. "Haruka Tenou."

She smiled and graciously took my hand in hers, it was a brief shake, but long enough to feel how delicate her skin was. "I was wondering about the Tenou in my class, if there was any relation. It's a pleasure to meet you." Her eyes wandered up and down my body slightly, then up to the clock hanging on the wall. "I have to get class started. Normally we don't allow parents to stay in class. We feel that if the child sees their parents, they won't socialize. It's like they try to do everything in they're power to keep their parents happy, when it's really me they need to worry about." She smiled at me.

"Is there anyway I could stay, just for a few minutes. I just need to make sure he'll be OK without me." My eyes looked over her shoulder, watching him make airplane noises as he 'flew' around a toy jet, another boy chasing him, making gun noises with a fighter jet. He looked so happy.

"Just for a few minutes, please take a seat in the back." She walked away from me, I couldn't fight my eyes as they wandered down to watch her hips sway as she moved. I shook the thought from my head and sat in a chair in the back of the room. I watched her get the class's attention to start her lesson. I looked like she loved what she did, she was so good with all the kids. I watched Rune sit on the carpet in between two other boys and look up at her. Maybe he doesn't need me here. After a few moments I stood up, nodded my goodbye to Ms. Kaiou, so not to interrupt her, and quietly walked through the door to leave.

I think I liked working on this...I think I'll go ahead with the next chapter, it may be a few days before I'm able to get the next chapter up, because I'm having a family get-together tomorrow (12-24) and then, of course, Christmas, which sucks because I have to work. lol Wait...maybe I'll upload it then. Hmmm...we'll just have to see.

Oh..don't forget to review.
