At least he hadn’t committed any crimes. He didn’t know that Mandy was lying about her age and was already eighteen when they started their little fling. That I can help him with, but the affair itself coming to light would destroy his wife and child.
I’m sure he’d just been lonely at the time she seduced him and probably didn’t stand a chance when she came on strong. Whatever his stupid fuck excuse, his little girl did not deserve to have her whole world turned upside down because he couldn’t keep his dick in his pants.
After leaving the principal’s office I went back to where I’d left the guys in what would be our new classroom. As I made my way there I wondered if I should be more open with them about my plans for the future, or stick to my guns and hold out until later. This move was about more than I’d told them, but I wanted to save the rest for now.
There was too much going on, too much negative shit in the air, and what I wanted to share with them was all good so I didn’t want the two to mix. I won’t let that snake violate one more thing in our world. And I definitely don’t want her taint on something that has to do with our future.
Other than Track and I, the others, were all children of either studio heads, producers, actors or directors. Whereas Track’s family and mine had their hands in a whole lot of pies.
Though we all came from wealth some of that wealth was a lot different from others, and some parents more generous, like mine and Track’s.
I know the ins and outs of all my guys’ home life, except Track’s and his secretive ass, and I know who needs me and how to give without them knowing, or feeling like a failure because they needed in the first place.
We’d been together since we were about four years old. That’s longer than most marriages in this town. And I see no reason why we can’t stay together after leaving here.
The bond we share is too real and means too much to just throw it away like that. I have the money and the resources to make this happen, so I’m gonna do all I can to make sure that things turn out right for all of us. I don’t like the alternative.
I can’t see it. Can’t see each of us going our separate ways in a year or two, growing apart. Becoming adults that have no idea what’s going on in each other’s lives. I won’t let that happen.
Even before I’d met Sian and started seeing shit partially through her eyes, I’d had this idea. But seeing her and how happy she is with her crew, watching the way she protects Cassie who needs it most had solidified things for me.
I don’t want her to lose any of them. Don’t what the people she loves to disappear from her life. So I’m going to keep us all together as long as I can. I’ll kick the first one’s ass that tries giving me shit.
I’ll bet my family’s fortune that one’s gonna be Sian. She loves giving me shit. I’m sure half the time she does it just to rile me up and no one does it better. I wonder how she’s doing after my little stunt. She’d still looked a bit shocked when I left her at her classroom door.
I couldn’t help but think about Mandy and how different they are. Sian could give a fuck about my money. I’m pretty sure she doesn’t know half of what I own or even what kind of watch I wear.
She knows my car because she’s a car freak, but other than that, she doesn’t have the first clue about my money or my family’s business holdings. As a matter of fact, I’m more inclined to believe that they’re more a deterrent than an attraction for her.
I smirked as I took my phone from my pocket and turned it on to see my wallpaper. It was a picture of her in the front yard with Cassie and Maggie, teaching them how to do splits in the air.
I remember the day like it was yesterday. Had we really only just met? How can it feel like we’ve known each other for a lifetime? How is that I can’t remember anything of importance that happened before she came into my life?
Is this how it is for everyone who falls prey to this emotion? I ran my thumb over her face. “Oh yeah, I’m gonna keep that smile on your face babygirl.” And fuck up everyone’s shit who tries to get in the way of me doing that.
I wonder how long it’s going to be before my heart stops doing flips in my chest when I look at her, or even think about her. It scares me how much I love this girl. How impossible it is for me to even put into words.
