Enjoy.
I wiped my eyes from the tears that had fallen and got up, walking over to my desk. I checked myself in the mirror, making sure all traces of tears had gone. They had. I sat just as the bell went. Putting a smile on my face, I greeted the students as they came in.
Always and forever.
School soon finished and I was grateful for it, not wanting to be within five miles of James at the moment. I grabbed everything, making sure I had everything, before I got up went to the door. I was about to open it when it swung open. I gasped, then frowned.
James stood there, leaning on the doorframe with a smug grin plastered on his horrible lips. I shuddered at the look he was giving me, like he wants to eat me. He eyes raked over my body, not embarrassed by his obvious ogling. I crossed my arms, trying to cover up as much as possible. I noticed his eyes popped and I looked down and blushed when I noticed. By crossing my arms, I had made my breasts bigger. I immediately uncrossed my arms and let them hang by my sides.
He smirked again and pushed himself up from the door. He stalked over to me, making me back away. I bumped into my desk and looked down at it before looking back to James in shock. What is he doing? He didn't stop walking, getting as close to me as possible without actually touching me.
I could feel his horrible breath on my skin as he breathed deeply, making me cringe. I gripped the desk, trying not to punch him in frustration and anger. He leaned into my neck, still not touching me. He breathed deeply, as if smelling me, and moaned. I shuddered.
"I'll see you tomorrow beautiful." I nodded, to scared to do anything. He backed up going towards the door. When he got there he paused and turned towards me again.
"Oh, and Bella?" I looked up to his disgusting eyes.
"Yeah?" My voice was shaky.
"I wouldn't tell anyone about this. It's our little secret." He winked and left, laughing boisterously.
I let out a shaky breath, trying to blink back the tears. How dare he come in here and do that to me! Disgusting, vile, little man. I feel sick. I feel dirty. I made sure I could stand and stood up, grabbing my bag that I had dropped. I made sure the coast was clear before I fled from the school. Running to the Volvo and getting in, locking the door behind me.
I let the tears fall, not caring about my make-up. I have been working here just over two months and I am being harassed by another teacher. A sob raked my body. I love my job, I don't want to give it up, but if this carries on, I will have to. How can one person make me feel like this? I feel physically sick.
I wiped my eyes, not even checking my make-up in the mirror, before I started the car and pulled out the parking lot. What will Edward think if I tell him? Will I be able to tell him? If I did, will he be disgusted with me too?
One thing I can't understand, is why James told me, not to tell anyone. Why shouldn't I? This is slowly becoming sexual harassment and it's scary. How far is he willing to go? Will he take this any further? I shuddered at the thought.
When I pulled up to the house, I eyed the black sports car in the drive suspiciously. Who drives that car? Then I remembered. A huge smile spread across my face as I parked the car and climbed out, grabbing my bag from the passenger seat.
I walked as fast as I could in heels, to the door. I swung the door open and slipped off my shoes before dumping the bag and going into the kitchen. I could smell coffee and I could hear talking as I walked through the house. When I got to the kitchen I smiled at the sight of my favourite pixie.
"Alice!" I squealed. She turned towards me, a huge smile on her face. But when her eyes found me, her smile left and she frowned. Her arms opened as she walked towards me. I couldn't help it. I feel into her arms, crying again. Hse rubbed my back as I cried.
"Shh, Bells. Tell me what's up." She soothed. I nodded and sniffed a little before standing up straight again.
"I can't." I croaked. She gave me a funny look, total not believing me.
"You can't?" She questioned, raising her perfect eyebrow. I shook my head and sunk down onto one of the stools. She took the one next to me and grabbed my hand. I jumped in surprise when Esme sighed. I didn't realise she was here.
"is it this James guy again?" Esme asked, I just shrugged, not wanting to talk about it. Her and Alice shared knowing looks.
"Can we not talk about it? Please?" I begged. They both nodded. Alice and I feel into a conversation about her work. She has a red carpet event coming up soon so she will be away for a few months. It saddened me, knowing I won't be able to see her.
"Mamma." Emily called, running into the room giggling. I smiled and scooped her into my arms.
"Hey princess. How are you?" She looked up at my eyes and her eyebrows scrunched up. She ran her finger under my eyes and pulled it away, expecting the black smudge that now dominated her fingertip.
"What's it?" She asked, confused. I smiled down at her.
"Make-up." Alice was chuckling as she grabbed a wet wipe and wiped her finger, taking away the black smudges. She handed me one and I smiled in thanks, wiping the dark panda eyes away.
Emily left again, going into the living room. I asked what was in there and Alice told me that jasper was in there. I smiled and went in. I haven't seen Jasper recently either and it will be good to see him again.
"Jazzy." I smiled. He looked up, a soft smiled spreading across his pale face.
"Hey Bell." He got off the floor and kissed my cheek, making me blush. He chuckled. "Same old Bell, I see." I pushed his shoulder playfully. He mocked hurt before laughing and sitting down again, playing with Emily.
I grabbed my bag and pulled out my phone. I had a new text from and unknown number. I swallowed before opening it.
'Remember, tell no-one. My beautiful Bella.'
I shuddered. This has confirmed my suspicions. It is James that is texting me. I put my phone on the table, after deleting the text. I don't want anyone to see it and get the wrong idea. It vibrated as soon as I put it down. I took a deep breath and picked it up again. I let out the breath I didn't realise I was holding when I saw it was Edward ringing me. I answered.
"Hey Baby, what's up?" I asked.
"Hi. I just wanted to let you know me and Carlisle will be finishing late. I'm sorry." I smiled sadly.
"Okay. Thanks for letting me know."
"So, how has your day been?" He asked. I could tell he was rushed and needed to get back to work, but was trying to be polite.
"My day has been fine. And you are rushed. We can talk later." I smiled. He chuckled.
"You know me so well." I nodded, but realised he couldn't see me.
"I do, your right." He chuckled again.
"I have to go." His voice sounded sad. "I'll call you before you go to bed. I love you Bella, always and forever." I smiled, my heart skipping a beat.
"I love you too, always and forever." He hung up after, probably needed.
Always and forever, was our thing. He said it to me when we made our vows and I liked it, so it kind of stuck. Jasper gagged and I looked at him, narrowing my eyes.
"Always and forever. I love you." He mimicked, making his voice go squeaky and high. I rolled my eyes. So childish.
"What ever Jasper. You can say what you like." He nodded and smiled.
"I know." I huffed and stood up.
"I need some adult conversation. You stay and play with Mr. Snuggles while I have a glass of red." He chuckled. I walked out the room but paused as he called:
"Mr Snuggles is a better conversation than you are." I put my head around the door and poked my tongue out at Jasper.
I was still laughing when I arrived n the kitchen. Alice raised her brow at my complete one-eighty. I shrugged and grabbed a glass, pouring myself a gall of red wine and sipped it, moaning at the taste. I find that wine helps me relax if im stressed, and I am today.
I took my previous seat next to Alice and across from Esme.
"Edward and Carlisle are finishing late today. Edward just rang." Esme nodded and looked back to her book she's reading. I noticed it was one of the ones I made my students read and write an essay one.
"So, how's the wedding coming along?" Alice smiled and went into a her plans of the wedding. I listened like the loyal best friend and taking everything in. By what she has told me, it all sounds amazing.
When she finished dinner was ready and Esme had served. We sat around eating and joking together. Emily wore more of her food than she ate, but she is so cute when she tried to feed herself. Alice even took pictures. She said it's something she can show her boyfriend one day. Not that she will ever have one. Edward won't let her.
After dinner, I gave Emily a bath. She loved playing in the bubbles and making her toys crash together in the water. She managed to get me completely soaked when I was washing her hair, but it's okay. This all need to be washed anyway.
I got her out and dried her off, putting her to bed. When she settled, I got in the shower and relaxed as the hot spray his my tense shoulders. The smell of my strawberry shampoo was calming and comforting and I rubbed it in. The lilac smell from my body wash soothed me and made me sleepy.
I got changed and climbed straight into bed, leaving a towel on my hair. As I settled I thought of Edward. How much I love him, how much I need him. I grabbed my phone as a text come through.
'Night Angel. I love you, always and forever. E x x x x'
I smiled and sent my reply before sleep took me under.
Sorry it's short, but I had a two hour exam today and I just want to sleep : ). I will update again as soon as I can.
Thanks for reading.
