Oh look a new chapter already. I have no life (literally, seeing as I've now finished school). Thanks for the reviews guys, I didn't think I'd get any :') I'm sorry this chapter isn't good/short, but I hope y'all enjoy. Please review if you can and all.
Michael's harsh words pierced the room, and I found myself tearing my lips away from Nikki's, worried, concerned.. But mainly angry. I finally found myself opening up to her, and he just comes barging in, ruining it all. I looked up at Nikki, hurt and disappointment splashed out across her face. I really wasn't proving how much I liked her by pulling myself away like that.
About to apologise, I looked up at her, before Michael made it clear that he was still in the room.
"Lorraine?! Nikki!? What the hell do you two think you're playing at? This is a school, not a kissing club!" Michael was practically shouting, voicing his opinions to the entire school. I felt myself cringe, this really wasn't how I wanted this to pan out.
"Nothing to say Lorraine? I would've thought you'd of have many opinions. After all, this is, how you say; hypocritical isn't it? Giving me all the grief about myself and Christine, when you've been sleeping with Nikki! How da-"
I couldn't let him continue. I had to at least try to prove myself by Nikki by standing up to us both.
"Michael, cut the crap. I know how many times you and Christine have had little make out sessions in your office, DURING the school day" I felt myself get angrier and angrier with each word, who the hell did he think he was? "I'm not some 15 year old anymore, I'm not going to jeopardise mine, or Nikki's career by doing this when kids are about! I was just-"
"Lorraine, don't. You don't need to explain this to him, you're just going giving him more to throw back at you.." Nikki finally said, clearing getting fed up by the whole situation. Turning towards the door handle, getting ready to leave, make a run for it, I grabbed her hand.
"Stay.." I asked, whispering quietly, as if speaking any louder would result in something bad happening. Looking down at our hands, holding hers tightly as if anything else wouldn't be good enough. She stayed silent, as if she was willing me to speak some more, enjoying the knowledge that I was finally standing up for her, us.
"Hello? Lorraine? You're not here to play happy couples with her! Nikki" he turned to look towards her, anger clear in his eyes, "I don't employ you to go around kissing Lorraine, or anybody else for that matter!"
"That's right. You don't employ me. Lorraine does, and if you have a problem with that then I suggest you take it up with her, because I'm not sacrificing anything for you". Her voice pierced the tension in the room. She'd finally had enough, her grip on my hand increasing. Sacrificing anything? Did she mean me and her? I hope so.. I didn't understand why Michael was making such a big fuss about this situation. I thought I'd get a slap on the wrist, but this? This was weird, it made me thing.. Wait, what was his issue in all of this?
"Get over it Michael. I'm finally feeling happy, I've found something to distract me from all the shit that I have to put up with from you and the money. I would've thought you, of all people, would be happy for me, us."
His face was a picture. Anger with a slight hint of humour was dancing across his face, showing in his features. He'd finally caught me out with something, and he thought he could use it against me. I pulled Nikki closer towards me, feeling no hesitation, and I wrapped my arm around her. Her crisp jacket soft to the touch. I felt her do the same, it gave me shivers, it felt good. Natural. Normal. I'd just about got things back on track, and I wasn't about to lose it all again.
"Whatever Lorraine, if you want to sacrifice the future of the school for a fling, go ahead. This place will do fine without you and your ideas anyway!"
"That's bullshit Michael and you know it! The school, and you, wouldn't even be here without me and my money. I ain't sacrificing anything, like I said, I'm not some teenager anymore. I don't need babysitting" I said harshly, maybe a bit too harshly. Oh well, can't say he didn't deserve it. I watched him walk out the door, sighing loudly. I still couldn't figure out what his problem was in all of this, if it was wrong, then why would he come down so hard when he was doing the exact same? I looked up at Nikki, her face emotionless. I reached up and kissed her lower lip, letting all my emotions convey to her via that, then I rushed out, trying to catch up to Michael who thankfully, hadn't gone very far.
"Michael! Wait!" He spun around, facing me. His phone was out, texting Christine no doubt. Ugh.
"What is it Lorraine? I have got a school to run." Blunt as ever, now I see why Nik got so pissed off at me.
"What's your problem? You're doing the exact same as me, so it can't be that. So tell me, is the fact that I'm a relationship the problem, or is it the fact that I'm in a relationship with a female that bothers you so much?!"
Sensing Nikki come up behind me, I wasn't looking forward to his response.
