As they all sat around for dinner Kate couldn't help watch Caroline's ease with the students when they spoke to her, although she was now a headmistress she hadn't lost her love for being around the students. She watched as she tucked her hair behind her right ear at a question that caused more thought than the others. She had no idea how long she had been star gazing at the amazing Caroline Elliot, until one of the students finally managed to get her attention. "Miss what are our plans tomorrow as it's our last day? " umm what.. Sorry... umm we have a guided tour around the cities sites and the Eiffel tower as a grand finale". "Sounds good" the girl smiled satisfied with the answer and turned to talk to her friend again. Caroline turned to meet Kate's eyes those dark brown orbs sank into her soul she wished it was just them in the room as the noise around them forced them to brake their gaze.
Micheal tapped his foot annoyed how could they be so obvious, did they not care if everyone noticed. He sat thinking to himself as Caroline broke his silent thought " So Micheal what do you think will be the best part of the tour tomorrow?" he looked up a little startled she seemed to have no alterir motive just a question so he happily answered it.
" Well I think it will be great for the students to take in the overall culture a little more , but no doubt the Effiel tower will excite them the most, hope none are too scared of heights".
"No I hadn't thought of that" Caroline laughed as the others also found the amusement.
Micheal felt the relief maybe she had got the message that he wasn't interested and would leave the whole seductress act.
Caroline sat passive but inside smiling she could see his relief at her complete professional behavior, she could tell from his reaction that he had been suprised there had been no more too it.
she watched as the evening passed on and how he slowly began to return to his snarky self as his confidence grew in that, she would no longer make things difficult for him.
He quite comfortably sat between her and Kate at dessert and had attempted to have what could of passed as a normal convesation with Kate and Susan about the day. But Caroline watched as he spoke his hand leant over to touch Kate's hand, from anyone else interpretation it was a totally innocent gesture. But to Kate she knew better, Caroline watched as kate tried to remain calm but her whole body flinched from his touch. Her eyes flashed at Caroline pleading her to rescue her, Caroline stood up and asked if anyone fancied a drink. Kate took her chance "ooh yes please" she stood up to leave as Caroline took the orders and went upto the far to order the last drinks of the evening.
"Caroline please tell me what you plan to do tonight... I can't stand the pillak I want to help. I want to show him I can stand up to him" Caroline nodded she understood but didn't want Kate getting involved as Caroline whispered her plan she saw Kate's face change as a fit of giggles took over. "God I love your cunning mind, Can u imagine his face.. But can't I help?" She pleaded.
Caroline paused for a moment " well I'm not going to put you in danger so don't even think about it, but i suppose it would be easier to make the plan work if you did one thing". Kate nodded "what is it?" "Well" Caroline leant in closer " perhaps you could flirt a little and I'll take care of the rest" "Ok".
As they returmed to the table Kate tried to act normal as she smiled towards Michael, she felt award exposed but she needed to be involved at getting some just desserts against this creep. She looked down to see Caroline remove her shoe and watched Michael's reaction change as he felt the touch, he looked up Shocked as his eyes met Caroline's passive and unengaged. He turned Kate Kate took the hint from Caroline as she pinched her leg a little and began smiling coyly making him believe it was her foot as she smirked at him.
Caroline took Kate's phone and wrote a text passing it to Kate under the table, Kate then lifted her phone and pretending to type read the message Caroline had wrote.
she pressed send " and stood to leave the table. "Right everyone I'm off to bed night," "oh good idea me too, come on you lot" Caroline said herding the last of the students who had not yet disappeared to their rooms.
As Caroline and Kate made it to their room laying on the bed "do you think this will work?" Kate giggled " it should do but now to up the anti" , Kate looked quizzically at her.
Caroline pinched Kate's phone of the bed and began to write another text message "I like to be in control if this is to happen" and sent it...
Kate read it eying Caroline slightly confused
"anything!" Came the reply
"really? You man enough."
...
they looked at each other smiling as the phone bleeped upon the bed
"hell yes, name your terms"
Kate sniggered " he actually thinks I would doesn't he..." " he's a man they don't understand the word no they think there irresistible. But this is how it gets interesting..." Caroline stated. Caroline stood up and started to pace thinking hard she had hoped it would be this easy , but now she had to admit she was a little nervous. Would he really buy this was Kate would he be so desperate he'd agree to it...?
