'Cause Now I Know It's All That I Wanted, chapter 10
"Hero, you want to go see a movie?" Mike asked Stella. She looked up from my shoulder after sleeping for two hours, she was very tired. I wondered how long he had been up.
"Is her coming?" Stella asked pointed at me. Mike looked at me with sad eyes knowing I had a job.
"No Hero, she's not," he said simply.
"Remember Mike, I'm chaperoning, if you wanna come then go ahead but I'm buying something since it's homecoming," I said while walking out.
"Ok, let me drive you, then me and Hero can see the movie," he replied while coming down the steps, still putting on a shirt.
"Jeez, I need some sort of transportation then my boyfriend," I said with a wink. He chuckled and got Estelle into the car and dropped me off at the school. I kissed him gently and he smiled. I opened the door and he pulled me into a rougher kiss. "Mike, your daughter is right here," I whispered while he hugged me and kissed me.
"Tell me how the movie is, Stella!" I yelled while they drove away and a little hand waved at me. My students were staring at me through the window, they were very early, I wasn't late. I walked into the door and saw a familiar BMW by the gate, he was staring at me through my open window. I blew him a kiss with he returned and Stella blew a kiss at me and I over exaggerated blowing her a kiss back. I spun on my heel and walked inside.
"You have tattoos?" my class asked me. I nodded but I just had to ask, "how do you know that?" The students pointed at my ankles and my shoulders. I got another tattoo, it was a Chinese calligraphy meaning 'beauty. ' Mike picked it out for me, he thought it suited me, in which he got a kiss. "What's it mean?" a punk boy named Jake asked me while pointing at my calligraphy.
"Beauty," I replied nonchalantly. The girls looked at me slyly and one of preppy girls asked me, "he pick it out for you?" I don't mean to be skeptical, teachers aren't supposed to treat students differently, no matter what, and I don't, just wanna let you know, but I know one clique from another.
"Who?" I asked trying to be sneaky and innocent.
"Mike," Eve replied. I smiled and blushed and nodded. The girls squealed and the boys just shuddered.
"This is music class, what do you think, dance, or do you want to learn about Bach?" I said sneakily.
"DANCE!" the whole class screamed. I winced and put on the music and let the class dance with their partners, they need it. I stopped the music, everyone looked at me because it was a slow song and all of them were getting really into it.
"Who's going to the dance?" I asked, I want to know. All the preps and jocks raised their hands, the punks shrunk back.
"You really should go you guys, I'm chaperoning, please, I really want you to go," I begged. The punks looked at each other, unsure. "You don't have to, but think about it, ok?" they all nodded and I continued the music. I watched Eve, she was my favorite, although I don't treat her differently. She was with Jake, their black hair was close to each other's and I smiled. The bell rang and they all looked at me, disappointed. "If you want to continued dancing, come back at lunch and we'll pick it up," I said. They all nodded and rang out, all except Eve.
"Can I help you with something?" I asked her. She walked to my 'desk, ' she handed me a note, I looked at it, it was an address.
"I talked about you with my parents, they want to invite you to dinner, tomorrow, at 7:00, Mike is welcome also," she said maturely, she amazed me sometimes. "Expect me there," I said with a smile, she also smiled, the first smiled I've ever seen on her face and walked out the door. The fifth hour walked in, along with Mike with Stella.
"Hey babe," I said putting my arms around his neck and kissing him. "I wanna take you and Hero out to lunch," he replied suddenly. I laughed and nodded, my class was staring at me. Mike sat at the chair at my desk with Stella in his lap.
"Dance or Bach?" I asked, they all said dance of course and we just did the dances over until they had them almost perfect.
"I'll see you all tonight," I called out as they went to lunch. "Do you want to go to a student's house for dinner tomorrow?" I asked Mike while walking to the car while Stella was sitting on Mike's shoulders. "Sounds fun, is it that Eve character?" he asked me. I looked at him, amazed, how did he know. "Look, I'm your stalker, so... I was here ever since the beginning of fourth hour," he said while putting Stella in the car. He looked into my eyes and laughed, "didn't know that was coming," I looked at him, obviously confused. "Your eyes, they're all weird, one is black, and the only one is like a purplish blue," he said while rubbing my temples. How did he know I had a headache? This is just getting freaky.
We walked into this pizza place, it was pretty cool. "Oh games!" squealed Stella. I looked and there was one of those machines with the claw and you have to get some kind of animal or something. "Could you get me one of those? Please, please, please!" she begged me and I chuckled. I took out a couple of quarters and played the game, after a couple of tries, I got her a tiger. We walked back to where Mike had seats, our pizza was already there, "you're truly amazing you know that Dirnt?" I asked him while taking a sip from my Pepsi.
"I know," he said with a smug look. I just shook my head and sat my pizza silently while Stella was talking about her tiger that I won for her.
"What's wrong me Amor?" Mike asked me. I just looked around, not listening. "India," he said, I looked at him, "what's wrong?" he asked. "Nothing, what would be wrong?" I asked nervously. "Don't give me that, I can see that you're nervous," he replied. Dang it, my eyes, "I don't know what to wear," I said. He looked at me, smiled and started laughing. "What?" I asked, I was worried, I'm not wearing just jeans and a sleeveless t shirt.
"You're coming shopping with me later, after Anastasia comes and picks up Hero," he said to me. I nodded but instantly went confused, he wants to go shopping with me? He looked at his watch and nodded, "gotta get you back, lunch's almost over." I nodded and he paid the check, refusing for me to pay half and we walked out. I was sorry to see him go, and I walked inside and sat at my desk. "Miss India?" a teacher said to me. I looked at her, curious. "Today, the students only had a half day, you can go home now," I was ecstatic, I called Mike and told him everything, he seemed happy to be able to take me around the town.
I walked outside and saw the BMW drive up. "Jeez, I gotta drive you again? Mike sighed. I punched him playfully and he just laughed. "Where's Stella?" I asked, noticing she wasn't here. "Annie took her early, she got back earlier then usual, she makes me so mad sometimes," he said through gritted teeth. I giggled but he kept his mouth set and his teeth gritted, I kissed his cheek, I felt whiskers. "You haven't shaved in a while have you?" I asked him. He seemed to blush and shook his head, "I'll shave when I get home," he simply said. "I don't care, I personally like a man with whiskers," I said shyly. He looked at me in a amused fashion, "getting a little shy there me Amor?" he whispered. I giggled and nodded, we got to the mall where there was, for some reason, a [b]lot[/i] of press. I trotted inside quickly with flashing lights and Mike covered my head with his hand and his own. Then, I felt safe and secure. I kissed him once inside because the security guards wouldn't let the press inside, I was thankful for that much. I mouth a thank you to a security guard, she nodded at me and kept doing her job.
"So... What are you going to get?" Mike said. I didn't listen to him and dodged aimlessly into some stores. I saw a blouse that I liked, it was cute. It was a v top, a burgundy red. I looked at it with awe, "it would go good on you," I heard someone say. I looked around and saw... Scott! "What are you doing here?" I replied coldly. "Aww, I can't see my boo?" he asked innocently. I growled and my eyes grew cold and possibly green. "Why don't you go with your own girlfriend?" I heard someone say. I turned around just to slam into Mike. I hugged him tightly around his chest and he put his arm around my shoulder. "Leave, now," Mike said through gritted teeth. His eyes were full of fury and were stone cold, his face was angry and he looked like he was going to kill. Scott looked at me and then at Mike, we had the same expression, he walked away. "What was that about?" he asked, my eyes softened and I cried, not quite knowing why. "Mike, be careful, very very careful, he can will kill you, he's done it before, Mike, do you think it was safer if we broke up?" I asked, worried only for Mike. He looked particularly sad and angry. He shook me by my shoulders and tried to talked calmly to me.
"Me Amor, don't you ever think that, if I have to die for you, so be it. I will not give up this love because of a immature boy that has a crush on you. I will protect you! I almost lost you once to him and I don't ever wanna go back there again! I love you Me Amor! Even thinking of losing you makes my heart break. Nothing can separate us, not with a thousand daggers, and nothing will catch us, not with a thousand bloodhounds and he is a coward, and I mean he is the foulest thing on this planet I call Earth!"
I held him tightly and kissed him. He whispered in my ear, "Me Amor," as he kissed.
"Is her coming?" Stella asked pointed at me. Mike looked at me with sad eyes knowing I had a job.
"No Hero, she's not," he said simply.
"Remember Mike, I'm chaperoning, if you wanna come then go ahead but I'm buying something since it's homecoming," I said while walking out.
"Ok, let me drive you, then me and Hero can see the movie," he replied while coming down the steps, still putting on a shirt.

"This is music class, what do you think, dance, or do you want to learn about Bach?" I said sneakily.
"DANCE!" the whole class screamed. I winced and put on the music and let the class dance with their partners, they need it. I stopped the music, everyone looked at me because it was a slow song and all of them were getting really into it.
