Her first day back in the classroom was a happy one, she was glad to be back with her students again. The first day was a tough one back, she was exhausted by the end of the day. She brought Ellie and Kenny home with her, they were sitting at the kitchen table doing homework and eating a snack. She had a headache, she was laying on the couch resting. She heard him ride in, she sat up waiting for him to walk in the door.
"You left school without an escort."
"We waited for thirty minutes. No one showed up, so we came home."
"You promised me!"
She closed her eyes. "I'm sorry." He pulled her into his arms, kissing her, she put her arms around his neck.
He stood up with her in his arms, sitting down with her on the couch, sitting her on his lap. "How was your first day back to school?"
"Exhausting!"
She laid her head on his shoulder, his arms went around her holding her close, she kissed him. He wrapped his hand around the back of her neck, pulling her closer to him. Ellie and Kenny came in from the kitchen excited to see their dad, she smiled getting up off his lap, heading into the kitchen. She listened to them, talking, she smiled as she started cooking dinner.
His arms went around her waist, he pulled her against him, kissing the side of her neck. She relaxed against him, smiling to herself. He turned her around cupping her face, looking into her eyes.
"I meant what I said last night. I love you."
She closed her eyes, trying not to cry. It had been a long time since anyone had cared about her. She looked up at him, he wiped away her tears. He looked confused by get emotions.
"I love you too."
"Why the tears?"
"It's been a long time since anyone has loved or cared about me."
He pulled her into his arms holding her tightly, kissing the top of head. She laid her head on his chest, wrapping her arms around his waist. She pulled away when the oven timer went off, she pulled out the chicken and sat it on the stove.
He sat the table while she finished fixing dinner, she placed the food on the table, smiling at the routine that they'd fallen into over the last couple of weeks. They sat down at the table to eat, the kids talked about their weekend plans. They both were going to sleep overs tomorrow, leaving Opie and Hailey alone, he winked at her from across the table.

She was leaving Friday afternoon from school, a prospect followed her home. Kenny and Ellie went with their friends, a Son was stationed close to the house to keep them safe. Hailey changed into some comfortable clothes, put on some 80's music, and started to clean house.

Opie watched her dancing around the bedroom, he was leaning against the door frame. He admired long legs, the way she moved her hips, and shook her ass. He felt his desire grow, he walked towards her pulling her against him he started to move with her.
She stopped moving and spun around to look at him, her face turning pink. "I thought I was alone."
"I liked it. Where did you learn to dance like that?"
She closed her eyes and shook her head. "I was on dance team in high school and college. It's how I paid for school."
He picked her up carrying her to bed, pulling her clothes off. She slapped at his hands, trying to get him to stop, he paused to look at her.
"I'm all sweaty and dirty from cleaning"
"I don't mind!"
He kissed her, while he was pulling off his clothes. He laid down in bed with her, slowly trailing kisses down her neck. She closed her eyes as he started to explore her body with his hands and mouth.
He nudged her legs apart, and slowly entered her body. She arched her back and moaned his name, he took his time loving her. He held her tightly as she climaxed, he thrust inside her hard and fast finding his own release. He collapsed on top of her, kissing her. He rolled off of her, pulling her into his arms.

She laid in his arms bathed in sweat, she smiled loving the feel of his arms around her. She let out a sigh of contentment, snuggling in closer to him. She felt his hands playing with her hair, she raised her head to look at him, she leaned forward kissing him.
She crawled out of bed, intending to take a quick shower, his hand clamped down on her thigh stopping her from moving.
"I need a shower." She wiggled from his grip, getting out of bed, she got to the bathroom he was right behind her. "Can I help you?"
"Since you're one armed, I thought you might need help." He smiled at her.
"You did...hmmm, I think I can mange!" She laughed as she reached in turning in the shower. She stepped in, letting the water wash over her back. She opened the door, to find him standing where she left him. "Maybe you can wash my back."
He grinned at her stepping into the shower, he turned her around so her back was to him. He took a handful of her body wash and lathered her back. His hands glided over her wet body, she closed her eyes, letting out a little sigh. She heard him chuckle, as he turned her around, he lifted her up in his arms, pressing her against the shower wall.

She sat at her desk in her classroom, completing her grades, there were no students today, so it was quiet. She looked out the window, letting her thoughts drift, she was leaving to get her cast off in a couple of hours. It had been weeks since the hit and run, and the flower delivery, she was hoping all was in the clear. It was getting a little old having to have an escort every time she went somewhere. She knew it was for her safety, but these men probably had better things to do beside babysit her.
She went back to entering grades into the computer, she straightened up her classroom, then went down for the faculty lunch. She sat through the hour long meeting and lunch, longing to get out of there. When it was over, she bolted for her classroom, picked up her purse and school bag. She walked out to the parking lot, no one was there, she called Opie. It went straight to voice mail, she left him a message and drove to the hospital. She couldn't wait around for someone to show up or she'd be late.
She got to her appointment, got her cast off, and a brace. She left, headed home, his bike was already parked in the drive. She walked into the house, he was pacing back and forth, she could tell by his posture he was livid.
"What the hell Hailey?" He said through clinched teeth.
"I called you, and got a voice mail. I had an appointment, I couldn't be late for."
"You fucking promised me!" He accidentally knocked a vase off the table when he bumped into it.
She looked at him with fear in her eyes and dove under the table covering herself. She was shaking and crying, covering her face with her hands, he squatted down to look at her. She shrank back as far as she could get, trying to get away from him, whimpering.
"Hailey? Baby?" He sat down on the floor, looking at her. She slowly crawled out, sitting next to him, he pulled her into his lap, holding her. "I'd never lay hands on you. Please tell me, you know that."
She closed her eyes letting tears stream down her face. "I know you wouldn't. Some old habits die hard!"
"Who's hurt you this way, to make you afraid?"
"It's the life I grew up in."
He pulled her face to his, kissing her. "I love you. I'm never going to hurt you."
"I love you too."

He held her that night, wanting to know more about her past, but not wanting to push her. It pissed him off to think that someone had put his hands on her, to make her react that way. He looked down and watched her sleep, the moonlight was shining on her face, she looked peaceful. She had said it was the life she grew up in, did that mean her parents were abusive?
He kissed her forehead before laying down and going to sleep.
