hey guys sorry guys for lack of updates I've been stupidily busy at work... So here's a bit more for anyone who's still reading. Xxx
Caroline had woken for the bell ringing around her office, "shit" she groaned looking down at her watch realizing it was now the end of lunch and half the day was gone. Her mind racing of the thoughts of this morning, she felt the anxiety return Until she looked down at her beautiful sleeping Kate who was beginning to stir.
Kate opened her eyes and smiled "hi", "hi" Caroline spoke softly "we fell asleep" she spoke softly and watched as Kate sat up "are you ok now?". Caroline couldn't help but wince at the question as the weight of there situation with micheal became more focused once more.
"Do you want to tell me what happened?" Caroline nodded "not here through, when were home but Gavin is on our side but I'll explain at home". Kate nodded "oh shit my lessons" Caroline stood up "oh I hadn't thought about that we must have been asleep hours". "You obviously needed it, I've not seen u like that for a long time .. Is it very bad news?" Kate tried to sound sure of herself but failed "it's nothing to do with you sweetheart, but I have a feeling this is the beginning of trouble and undue stress". Kate smiled weakly "we will be ok" she nuzzled into Caroline's neck and exhaled her intoxicating scent, smiling against the sensitive skin.
Caroline felt her body respond letting a satisfactory moan escape her lips "she moved to let her lips connect with Kate's as their mouths met with gentle but firm intentions, to one another to mark their territory.
Slowly they pulled apart and Kate stood and helped Caroline to her feet, Caroline walked to her desk and buzzed Through to Beverley.
Beverely appeared at the door with a content smile upon her face "afternoon sleeping beauties" she smirked Caroline stood mouth a jar before bursting into laughter.
"why didn't you wake me?" Beverly wasn't sure weather Caroline was about to reprimand or thank her, "I didn't want to disturb you and I know this morning was stressful and we've managed without you". "Thank you" Caroline spoke sheepishly apologetically "it's fine I've had Kate's lessons covered and nothing much in your diary" Caroline raised her eye brows to question her last statement. "Ok well nothing, important" she smiled "you guys obviously needed some time to work a few things out. Caroline's gaze drifted to Kate's and a content smile crossed her lips, " well you could say that!
As you are aware but have never said anything to my face about is Im in love with Kate, were together and now the school board knows. Micheal found out and is using it against me and Kate to cause trouble .. Well that's the short of it anyway so yes it's been stressful". Caroline took a gulp of air realizing she had spoken so quickly without a breathe, to watch Beverley's face broaden into a huge smile.
"well yes I might of guessed a while back around the trip.. " Kate laughed "so you knew about the same time as us then", Beverley blushed. "Not much gets past you" Caroline giggled "but I'm grateful you never spread gossip or made it an issue". Beverley smiled "it's none of my business of course but I've seen it coming for months and I'm so happy for you, and watching you together when you think no one is looking warms my heart. You really are made for each other, Caroline I've never seen you so happy in all the years of knowing you. I wasn't about to make it difficult for you or ruin the special connection you guys have buy spreading rumors. I knew you'd tell me when you were ready". Caroline walked forward and took the woman in front of her into her arms "thank you she whispered, your a true friend".
"I'm so pleased for you both, now another thing I know I'm not meant to know but do is about Michael... And well I think I've got something that might help you".
Kate couldn't help but draw closer to the two women a little way from her "I saw the trouble he's been causing and I have heard the rumors and heard a little through doors sorry" she looked a little bashful. she carried on " And I guessed when I had to look for the records of Lucy It was connected, and I saw the stress and upset. So putting it all together I did a little digging... But anyway I rang my friend who works for the police domestic violence unit, and turns out Michael's got a past.
Caroline looked at Kate and back to Beverley "what do you mean?" ..."I've just had the call back I was waiting for!".
Caroline took a step back from Beverley as Kate's hand reached inside Caroline's gripping it tightly, which made Beverley smile. She wasn't going to let another man ruin Caroline's happiness and this could possibly be what they needed above all else to win the war.
"well obviously I got this all very illegally so to use it you will have to go through the proper Channels for it to be used against him. Kate winced at Caroline's hand squeezing hers, her nails digging into her palm.
"Beverley please!" Caroline almost shouted " well I found out Paul Michael Dobson is his real name, he switched the names around so he wouldn't be recognized or connected to his past. He'd have never got a job as a teacher, how they missed it I don't know..".
Kate and Caroline turned to look at each other and back to Beverley as she continued "He has got a record for sexual assault on two women, attempted sexual assault and a string of violence offenses against women including an ex girlfriend, neighbor and a colleague".
Kate crumbled at her words falling down slightly as Caroline held her tight refusing to let her fall, as the tears rolled down her face, her body shook so violently Caroline could hardly hold her up. "He'd done it before, he's done it before" she repeated through sobs and gasps for air. "Shhh shh" Caroline stroked her hair pulling her into her embrace more heavily "it's ok, it's ok sweetheart. We've got the bastard!".
Caroline looked at Beverly "thank you" she mouthed, as Beverley smiled and nodded slowly leaving them to it.
"Caroline he's done it before, he would have raped me for sure, I always thought maybe it was to frighten me to saying yes.. But if he'd had the chance he really would have done it anyway wouldn't he... She sobbed harder into Caroline chest.
Caroline pulled her face up to meet her own "But Kate he didn't, your safe and now we've got him... We can make sure he never does it again. He will never work as a teacher again, you can make a statement to the police and they will believe you. He's finished we can move on a be happy, I know it.
"Now we just have to prove it legally..." Caroline whispered to herself more than Kate.
