So, I got 5 reviews on the last chapter, so here is the new update. Hope you enjoy. More reviews = faster updates. Thank you to all who review, especially JamesLuver as you've reviewed so many chapters of mine!
I was still breathing heavily from Lorraine's 'distraction' earlier on. God she was good, she was so good. Lying on the floor of the lecture hall, her hand over my mouth to keep me quiet, her other hand slowly making its way down my chest. She may not have much experience in the whole lesbian department, but she was fantastically good. Playing with her beautiful blonde hair, I looked down to see that she'd closed her eyes, perhaps this was soothing. We'd spent the past 10 minutes just embracing one another, thankful to have a few moments alone where our thoughts were happy, nobody could ruin it for us. I was still sad about Tom, of course, but I knew I had to move on, make the school a better place. There were so many things I could do, and setting up a girls football team was going to be the first thing on my list. I was going to make Tom proud, and I could hardly do that by sitting around moping all day. Looking back down at Lorraine again, I felt my heart swell slightly. She looked so beautiful and relaxed. For once, she had nothing stressing her out. I nuzzled my face softly against her hair, feeling a little embarrassed over my show of affection. Stop being so soppy Nikki, for God's sake. Kissing her shoulder, I sighed slightly. It had been just over a week since Michael had attacked her, but you could still see the remains of what he'd done by looking at her shoulder. Well, I could see it, as her top still hadn't been put back on properly. To anybody else, she was fine, but it's not as if they cared anyway, well Sonya would care, but she's family. I felt the anger start to bubble inside of me, still annoyed that I hadn't confronted Michael about this. I felt like it was my duty to say something, but I didn't want to make it worse for Lorraine. Moving closer to her, I started kissing her neck, trying to awaken her peacefully from her relaxed state. I could hear footsteps outside of the hall, and I was silently praying that they wouldn't come in here. Although we were well hidden in the back, neither of us were in an acceptable state to be seen, and I really didn't want any more fuel added to Michael's hate campaign. Moving my lips closer to her ears, I started kissing her again, mumbling words every so often. Telling her how perfect she was, how beautiful she was, and how she made me happy, the smile on her face growing each time I said something else. Her hand was suddenly holding mine, pulling it towards her, resting it on her thigh, her hand on top of my own.
"Nik…? Shall we go to the pub tonight…? Then you can come back to mine…?" she asked, her voice wavering slightly, as if she was worrying that I was going to say no. As if I would ever do that. However, I had a deal to make with her.
"Yes… But only if you let me set up a girls football team? Please Lorraine, I know it's more money, but I want to do it for Tom. Take money out of my wages if it makes it easier… Please?" I asked, feeling a little guilty for asking when she was struggling with funding for the school. I didn't want her to feel like I was using her for money.
Lorraine moved slightly, so she was looking me, our eyes gazing into each others lovingly. Smiling slightly, she responded.
"It's for Tom Nik, of course we can ok? I'll have to look at the budgeting and I'll have a talk with my accountant." She reached up, mumbling the final few words on my lips, kissing me softly. Before I even had a chance to turn the kiss into something more passionate, she pulled away, grinning at me and getting up, holding out her hand for me to take.
"Come on, I need to go and see Michael before he gets really pissed off, and you can do something useful in a corner so-"
"Wait, I get to sit in the corner? Have I done something wrong Miss Donnegan?" I asked, flirting slightly. She giggled quietly. I love it when she did that, it was something that very few people got to see. Well, I'd never seen her act so… Carefree with anybody else anyway. Taking her hand, I stood up and looked her up and down, chuckling slightly to myself.
"Lo, you can't go and see him looking like that…" I stated, sorting out her top before she pulled away to do it herself as I had 'no eye for fashion' apparently. As soon as she'd finished however, she pulled me close for a hug, her happy, carefree attitude being replaced by a scared one. I didn't want her to worry though, so I did something I'd never thought I'd do, I told her that she should turn on her work mode, not letting any emotions past, not letting anything phase her.
"I… I don't know if I can Nik. I want to, but I don't think I can anymore. I don't think I want to anyway. I need practise at being a real human being, right? So this is practise…"
I felt a small pang of guilt run through me when she said that. I remembered our little argument in the main foyer a month or so ago, where I'd knocked her back saying that she needed practise at being a real human being before I'd have anything more to do with her.
"I'm sorry I said that, you know?"
"No, don't be sorry. God, don't be. I needed you to say that. Nobody likes a heartless, emotional bitch anyway though do-"
"Don't Lorraine, just don't. You're perfect to me, ok?" I stated, grinning slightly. True, she could be a heartless bitch at times, but in her line of work, I guess you needed to be one. Like she said, in her line of business you have to know that you're right all the time. I leant in and kissed her cheek, hiding my blushing cheeks from being such a soppy cow, and then I pulled her in the direction of Michael's office before either of us got carried away.
We'd got as far as the door to enter Sonya's receptionist office before we both stopped. I watched Lorraine, looking for any signs of fear or worry in her expression. There was nothing, she'd gone into her work mode, I knew she would.
"You'll stay in there too, won't you Nik…?" she mumbled, running her hand over mine gently.
"Of course, I'm not going anywhere" I responded, catching her hand and squeezing it before letting go.
And with that, we went in.
