Kathan woke up the next morning, sore, but with no regrets. She knew she loved that man and she gave herself to him. She also remembered she left things hanging with Joe. She had to let him know nothing could come from his feelings. She didn't want to lose him, but if she had to choose between Mark and Joe, she would choose Mark every single time.
Her brother and sister in law didn't ask any questions. She wondered if Joe had called them. Someone knocked on her bedroom door. She covered herself better.
"Come in", she called.
Her sister in law poked her head in.
"Hey, good morning. I bought you some new foundation and I'm also your ride for this morning.", she said.
Kathan nodded and watched as she set down the small bag.
"Why are you still in bed?", Elisa asked.
"I was just about to get up", Kathan said.
Elisa nodded.
"Well, get showered and dressed, maybe we could swing by Nala's house and pick her up and us girls can do breakfast", Elisa said.
"Ok", Kathan said.
She couldn't stand, it took her about a minute or two before she got on her feet.
Roman had been right about her being sore. During her shower, she had to wash her body gently. He also had left bite marks across her chest. Roman was claiming what was his and Nala couldn't help but smile. He was a wild man last night and she couldn't deny that she loved it.
Her phone rang and she answered Kathan's call.
"Hello", she said.
"Hey, Elisa wants to know if you need us to pick you up? Also she wants to do breakfast with us", Kathan said.
Nala sighed, remembering her dad had said her car wasn't fixed yet. He needed to change the battery and he promised to do that today after work.
"Yes, my car is here but it doesn't have a battery", she said.
"Ok, we'll be by in a few minutes", Kathan said, before hanging up.
Sitting in the diner with Elisa, was so uncomfortable. Mostly because the girls were sore and they knew Elisa would catch on. Kathan noticed Nala shifting in her seat and sent her a look. Elisa looked between both girls.
"Alright, what's going on?", she asked.
Both girls looked at her and shook their heads.
"Nothing", Kathan said.
"Yeah right. Now spill", Elisa said.
"Kathan just wanted to know if I heard back from those scholarship people", Nala said.
"And?", Elisa asked.
"I haven't heard anything. I still have a few more days though", she said.
"You'll get it Nala", Elisa said smiling.
Elisa looked at Kathan.
"And you missy? Any schools that your planning to apply to soon?", she asked.
"I've thought of a few. I sit down with my counselor today to talk", Kathan said.
Elisa nodded. After breakfast, she dropped the girls off at school.
"So I'm assuming since you left with Roman yesterday that everything is ok between you", Kathan said.
Nala nodded.
"Better than ok. I want to tell him about my mom, but I just, you know how hard it is for me", Nala said sadly.
Kathan squeezed her friend's shoulder.
"What about you and Mark?", Nala asked.
"Great, we finally made love last night. He didn't want too, but I sort of persuaded him into it.", Kathan whispered.
"What about his, you know?", Nala whispered.
Nala had told Kathan that Roman was well equipped. Kathan blushed.
"He is too", Kathan mumbled shyly.
They walked into the girls bathroom and their friend, Alicia came running in.
"Hey, do either of you have a tampon I can have?", she asked, biting her lip.
Kathan and Nala searched their bag.
"Here", Kathan said, handing one to her.
"Thanks", Alicia said, before rushing into the now free stall.
Kathan noticed as Nala seemed to be thinking hard about something.
"What?", Kathan finally asked.
Nala pulled her phone out and looked at her calendar.
"Nala, what's going on?", Kathan asked again.
"I missed my month", Nala said.
"Are you sure?", Kathan asked as she watched her friend panic.
"Yes Kaye, I was suppose to get it today", Nala said.
"Ok, don't panic. Maybe you're just late. It happens Nala", Kathan said, trying to calm her friend.
"I can't be pregnant", Nala whispered.
"Why didn't you use a condom Nala?", Kathan whispered back.
"We did, at first, but then I don't know. There were times we just, did it and it slipped my mind", Nala said.
Nala leaned back against the wall.
"What am I going to do?", Nala asked.
"You have to take a test. It's the only way we are going to know for sure", Kathan said.
Nala nodded.
"We have to tell Elisa. She can help, and I would rather have you do a test at the clinic than a store test", Kathan said.
"We can't, she's going to tell my dad and Roman's going to be in so much trouble", Nala said.
Kathan paced the bathroom.
"She won't say anything if you aren't. Nala, we have no choice", Kathan said.
Nala swallowed and nodded.
"After school, my brother goes home for lunch. Elisa won't say anything", Kathan said, setting her hand on her best friend's shoulder.
"Should I tell Roman?", Nala asked.
"Not till we know for sure", Kathan said.
Mark and Roman had gotten to the school at the same time. Hunter stopped them.
"I need to have a word with the both of you", Hunter said.
He didn't look happy. They followed him towards his office. Mark noticed Emerald sitting with her parents in the counselors office. He realized now that she actually did it, she told her parents. Once inside Hunter's office, he closed the door behind them. The superintendents of the school and two police officers were here as well.
Hunter sighed.
"It has come to our attention gentleman that you've both been having sexual relationships with students", Shane McMahon said.
"What?", Roman said.
"A student is accusing you both of forcing yourselves onto her. I've known you guys a long time, and I know you two are incapable of doing such a thing. I need the whole story", Shane said.
"What story? We don't even know what you're talking about", Mark said calmly.
Shane sighed and told them everything Emerald told him, leaving her name out of it of course. The guys knew who had told them this story. Even if Mark wouldn't have seen her, he would have known it was Emerald.
"So this "student" said we were sleeping with two other students and then tried to rape her?", Roman asked, making sure he got the whole story correct.
Shane nodded.
"You want our side of this now?", Mark asked.
"Yes, we need to figure this out, without causing a scene and making this bigger than it is. I want both of your names to be clean", Shane said.
"I'll let Roman go first since he asked her to stay after", Mark said.
Shane nodded.
"We are actually going to separate you guys. Just to see if your stories add up", Officer Breeze said.
They guys nodded.
"We've also gotten subs to fill in for you.", Hunter said.
Officer Fandango took Roman and Officer Breeze took Mark. Emerald saw them and smirked before leaving with her parents. Mark had never hated one of his students before, but now he officially does.
How can someone be so vindictive. He texted Roman to delete his messages to Nala, even her number.
Already did
He replied back. Mark set his phone down.
"Lets get this over with", Mark said.
