Nala and her dad pulled into Kathan's house. She got off.
"I'm going into the house, Kathan wants me to meet her up in her room", Nala said.
Her dad nodded. Walking into the house and making her way upstairs. Kathan was putting her shoes on.
"Have you seen them yet?", Nala asked.
"No, but I'm kinda nervous. I don't know if I want to go downstairs", Kathan said.
"What if they all suspect?", Nala asked.
"Maybe we should just stay up here", Kathan said, sitting beside Nala.
"Want to know what I think?", both girls looked towards the door.
Elisa stood there with her arms crossed over her chest.
"It's not what you think", Kathan said quickly.
"Wrong. It's exactly what I think. What? How? With them? Teachers?", Elisa asked quickly.
"We didn't plan on it, it just happened. Mr. Reigns confessed his feelings for Nala and Mark confessed his feelings for me", Kathan explained.
Elisa closed the door behind her.
"They are your teachers and grown men, men who've already been either married or almost married", Elisa said.
"He's already told me he loves me", Nala said.
Elisa looked surprised.
"What?", she asked.
"He told me he loves me, he cares about me", Nala said.
"Mark said the same thing", Kathan said.
Elisa paced in front of the girls.
"Did you even stop to think about the consequences of your actions? They can go to jail for this. You will get yelled at but them", Elisa tried not to shout.
"Weren't you the one saying it was ok for Mr. Orton to be with his one as long as he loves her and plans to marry her", Kathan said.
"Yeah because her wasn't you", Elisa said.
"Are you going to tell?", Nala asked.
Elisa sighed and looked at both girls. Kathan stood and took her sister in law's hands.
"I love him. He makes me feel like someone else. You know how hard it is for me to open up to someone and with him, it's not hard", she said.
Her sister in law groaned.
"Have you done anything inappropriate with them?", she asked.
"No. They don't even try to force us", Kathan said.
If Elisa knew Nala and Roman already slept together she just might change her mind.
"Let me get to know them better and if they seem to be good guys. I won't say anything to Kris and Chance", Elisa said.
Kathan and Nala hugged her.
"Just promise me you two will be careful. I don't want these men taking advantage of you and if I find out that they've touched you inappropriately, I'm talking", Elisa said.
"Not till we turn eighteen", Kathan said.
Elisa nodded.
"Lets get downstairs, everyone is wondering where you are", Elisa said.
The girls nodded. Elisa stopped again.
"Mark is the one with the kid right?", Elisa asked.
Kathan nodded.
"Oh Kaye, that makes things worse. Why would you want a man that's already tied down?", Elisa said.
"You don't think I'd make a good mom?", Kathan asked.
Elisa raised a brow and cupped Kathan's face.
"You will make a great mom. I just never imagined you being a step mom at such a young age. I need you both to really think about this. College is just around the corner, what happens if you want to travel, or meet someone else while away.", Elisa said.
"Its not like I'm marrying him tomorrow. Besides they know we want to go to college. Roman is helping Nala. As for traveling, it's not like they won't be able to go with us and if some how for some reason we meet someone else, well then we'll deal with that when it comes", Kathan said.
Elisa's shoulders slumped and she nodded. These girls had made up their minds. Getting to the back, they saw their teachers laughing at something AJ had said. Randy introduced them to his soon to be fiancée.
Kathan met Mark's eyes and Nala met Roman's eyes.
"There are my girls", both girls turned to see Joe.
They went over to him and hugged him tight.
"I don't think so, they are my girls", AJ said, pulling Nala towards him.
She laughed and wrapped her arms around him. Roman found himself squeezing his can of beer. It took every ounce of strength and will power not to pull Nala out of his arms and punch AJ in the face. Mark found himself feeling the way Roman did. Who did this man think he was, putting his hands on his woman.
"Miss Daniels, it's nice to see you again. I didn't know you lived here", Mark said.
This caused Joe to release Kathan.
"Yes, my brother Kris and sister in law, you've already met her, Elisa.", Kathan said.
Mark nodded with a raised brow.
"Yeah, I met them. Good people", Mark said.
He looked towards Nala.
"Miss Tomlinson, it's nice to see you too", Mark said.
He knew that Roman's mind wasn't on words, but on punching out AJ.
"Yeah, my dad and Kris are good friends since Kathan and I are", Nala said.
She noticed Roman's look and went over to her dad. He pulled her into his side.
"This is my dad, Chance", Nala said.
She knew that if she didn't state who he was, Roman would likely lose his mind and jump both men. She watched Roman relax.
"Do these girls behave or do we all need to talk?", Chance asked, laughing a little.
"Oh no, Nala is the perfect student. I can say she's definitely my favorite", Roman said, winking at Nala.
"Yeah, my Nala Mary has always been a good student", Chance said.
"Oh dad", she whined.
"And Mark, you don't need to lie about Kathan. Trust me, we already know", Kris said.
Kathan punched her brother's arm.
"I'm not that bad", Kathan said.
Half of the teachers who already had her in their class made a small noise of disagreement. She rolled her eyes.
"Trust me Kris, I can handle your sister. She's never had a teacher like me before", Mark said.
Kathan blushed and bit her lip to keep from smiling.
"Daddy", Kathan watched as a little girl skipped up to Mark.
He bent down and lifted her into his arms. He looked from his daughter to Kathan.
"This is my daughter, Alana. Alana, I want you to meet two of daddy's students. Nala and Kathan", Mark said.
"Its nice to meet you Alana", Nala said from beside her dad.
She was afraid to move and cause Roman to lose his patience with these men. Kathan went up to Mark and Alana. She took the little girl's hand.
"Its nice to meet you sweetie", Kathan said.
Alana smiled at her and Mark did as well.
This could work, he thought.
"Foods ready if you all want to eat now", Elisa said.
Everyone sat, Roman made his way behind Nala. She felt the heat rise to her cheeks at feeling him behind her.
"Sit next me", he whispered.
She nodded, knowing she didn't have a choice. AJ took the opposite side of her and Roman groaned.
"What the fuck is it with this guy?", Roman whispered to her.
She laughed softly and placed her hand on his thigh.
Mark sat beside Kathan. His daughter tapping his arm. He leaned down so she could whisper to him.
"I want to sit next to Kathan", she whispered to him.
Mark smiled and nodded. Lifting his daughter and sitting her between them. Kathan smiled.
"She wanted to sit next to you", he said.
"Awe, look Kaye, kids do like you. I honestly thought your face would scare her", her brother said.
Everyone laughed and Kathan shook her head at him. Mark and Roman didn't like that the girls attention fell on these two men trying to hit on their girls. Nala could sense when Roman would grow agitated at AJ, so she would squeeze his thigh or rub it, just to calm him down.
He cleared his throat when AJ's attention was on something Kris was saying. Nala looked at him.
"Keep rubbing my thigh and I'm going to kidnap you and make you mine again", he whispered.
Nala felt that rushing heat again.
"I'll tell my dad I want to leave early, we can meet somewhere", Nala whispered.
Roman licked his lips and nodded.
"And remember, you're my girl", he whispered.
"I know", she whispered back.
Mark wanted to talk to Kathan but with Alana between them, he couldn't exactly whisper to her without someone else hearing him.
"So how long are you here for Joe?", Chance asked.
"For good. I'll be working with Kris at the clinic", he said.
Kathan hugged him.
"Good because I miss you so much", Kathan said.
Mark rolled his eyes and finished his drink. Roman smirked at him.
"Now you know how I feel?", Roman whispered to him.
Joe wrapped his arm around Kathan and if Glen didn't place his hand on Mark's shoulder, Mark would have stood and pulled Joe's arm off of Kathan.
"I miss you too Kitten", Joe said, before kissing the side of Kathan's head.
Mark slammed his drink on the table and everyone looked at him.
"Sorry, I thought it was empty. Guess not", Mark said.
He gave a look to Kathan when no one else was looking and she caught on. Realizing that maybe having them over with Joe and AJ around was a bad idea.
