ALEC

I woke up to my sister, once again and smile as she leaves. Not that it helps. She has been trying to give me the silent treatment since I haven't told her what has me in a good mood since seeing Magnus and Annie on Saturday. I didn't want to jinx what happened and I could still feel him. The sensations were just as exciting now as they were when it happened. I never thought a kiss would feel like that. His fingers and lips, being as close as he was to me...ahhh, it was the most, nope no words really. I sit up and stretch so I can get up and get ready for my day. I really hate Mondays, but I get to see Magnus in about forty minutes, so not really complaining.

I grab a pair of my black pants and some boxers and head to the bathroom once I see Izzy once again open my door. I lock the bathroom door once I'm in and then turn the water on. I brush my teeth and do my business and then step in. I quickly wash up so my hair will dry on my walk and wrap a towel around me. I dry off once I step out of the tub and then pull the boxers up, the pants following. I open the door and make my way to my room, shutting it behind me. I walk to my closet and pull down a light yellow button up and slip my arms through before buttoning it up.

I take out a black tie and turn to the small mirror on my closet door, using that to help me tie it around my neck. I then find my solid black vans and head to my dresser for some socks. I sit on the bed and slip my socks in place, the shoes following and then grab my phone. I see a message and open it to let Magnus know a coffee sounded great and then head to make breakfast. Izzy is putting up her dishes when I come in and she still doesn't talk to me. I really hate her being mad at me, so I grab her wrist. She looks at my hand and then to me, raising her plucked left brow.

I let out a breath and hold my hand up. "Annie gave us the green light."

I see her process what I said and then I see the smile graced her face and know I did the right thing in letting her know. She throws her arms around me in and hug and then pulls back so our faces are close enough for me to read her lips.

"I am so happy for you. Did he seem alright?"

I smile and nod and I know she let out a squeal as she hugged me again before walking out.

I turn back to the toaster and hurry to put the bread in. While it's toasting, I head to put my messenger bag in place, slipping my phone into the pocket on the front. I grab my keys and then go to check on the bread to see the light blinking. I take the piece of toast and then head out the door, taking the keys off the hook as I go. I lock the door and then walk out of the building. I'm smiling the whole way and I sit at a bench while I'm waiting. Magnus invades my thoughts as I see the light of the train heading towards me and smile. I stand and adjust my bag so I can get on. I get in and immediately see Magnus, who's in his grey pants that I love and a pink shirt with a grey tie. He smiles and I take the coffee out of his hand as I sit next to him. He turns so we can talk a bit as we ride and he asks about the rest of my weekend.

I had spent it with Jace, helping them move and sitting up baby stuff they already bought over the years. I explained this was so they already had it and could focus on just the house and not have to worry about baby stuff since they didn't know when they would get pregnant. He nodded and said that was a good thing. We got off and sipped our coffees till we had to split for our classrooms. I loved Mondays because they were review days. I had switched it up a bit because of the signs my students were putting together. Last week, we added sister, brother, and family to the three we previously learned. I wanted to make sure they understood these six before adding the grandparents and other family member to it. It could confuse little ones if they didn't grasp the first ones quick enough.

I set up my room and then make sure my phone's lights are off so that it won't be a problem to the kids. I had forgotten once and it started blinking from under the table while the lights were off and we were watching an instruction video. I get the smartboard up and running and then click the link we watched on Friday about how to assemble the six signs we learned together. This was their homework for the weekend and it was explained in the packet so parent knew how to help their children, even if the child was an only child with no siblings. The lights flicker to show kids were arriving so I walked to the door to welcome them. They each high fived me while the parents waved. When the color flickers again, I flick the regular lights so they know to get in their seats.

I head to the front and they are all looking up. I explain that today was going to be activities to see how well they know all we learned so far before moving on to new signs. They seemed happy with this and so I started with the video. While they read/watch, I got the centers ready. I had different centers for this morning that had different family members so they could practice on the family signs. After the video, I turned the lights back on and they all looked at me. I signed to get in a line. They did and then I held up a small box and explained for them to pick a piece of paper. After that, I told them to find their number as this was their first activity. I walked around and watched as they played and did as the center instructed till it was lunch time.

They seem to have picked up the new signs as well as the old ones and so I was happy with how they were coming along. It showed that my routines were working well for them, which I made a mental note of so I could use it next time. Lunch came, which I was grateful for and I led my class to the lunch room. I sat at my chair, Magnus already there, and waved.

"Hey."

He smiled and held up his hand. "What are you doing after work?"

I took a minute to think if I had anything I needed to do and shrug. "Nothing, why?"

He smiled. "Annie wanted to see if you wanted come play for a bit. She missed you yesterday."

I smirk and hold up my hand after putting a fry in my mouth. "Just Annie?"

I see him wink and I know a blush comes up as we stop long enough for us to finish eating. He pushes his tray back when he's finished, me quickly following.

"I may have missed you too, Alec." he signs.

I smile and shake my head. "I missed you guys as well, Magnus."

I see him smile and then the lights flicker so we don't get to say anything.

He squeezed my hand quickly, signing about meeting in my room, and then we get up to head for our afternoon. I get my kids in my room and they have a sheet they they are filling out about a story we were working our way through. I walk around incase anyone needs help for about an hour till it's time for them to go to gym. We line up and I take them before come back to the room. I clean up and then check my phone. Izzy had texted to let me know Simon wanted to take her to dinner so she would be home late. I let her know Magnus requested my presence anyways and then put the phone up.

The children come back in and we watch a video over what I was teaching them tomorrow. Math and things like that started next year after they learned all the basic signs. This year was to make sure they were at a stage where they could communicate freely. The rest of the subjects start next year. While they are watching, I put their homework in their bags and then pass out the stickers for them to place on their shirts for their mom or dad. The lights come on and they know to get their bags and then sit quietly till their parents come.

The light flickers and the parents come quickly to take their babies. I high five the boys, and most girls, as they walk out. When everyone's gone, I walk to my desk to get my things before Magnus is here. I put my bag over my chest and turn my light back on my phone before turning to the door. I can feel someone staring and I know it's not Magnus. I turn around and I know my eyes widen as I hold up my hand.

"Jordan."

Hope you guys liked this one and please remember to leave a comment below. I love getting them!:)B

GUESTS: Thank you as always, glad you liked the last chapter:)B

To the guest that sent the long review...THANK YOU! I'm so glad you liked this story. It really makes my day when someone, who is an ASL student says I'm doing this justice. Especially since I'm just winging it. I don't know any people with this disability, but I have thought about how it would affect relationships in how the kids are raised and become adults not being able to hear. So glad you think I'm doing a great job with it :)B
