Bree Wilson has basically been abandoned by her parents. When a teacher starts to notice her lack of caring. An accident almost takes everything from Bree and she found she was fated for something different. Her mother set her up in the worst possible way and she finds herself alone and in the hospital with a surprise visitor. Her teacher. He keeps showing up every day. Then he tries to help her as well. This confused Bree but then when the teacher adds more to the mix when she gets out of hospital. Everything changes for the two.
Lihat lebih banyakBree Wilson hated science class more than going back home at the end of the day. It wasn’t that she hated Science. It was him. The hot teacher that every girl in the school fawned over. He happened to live in the same apartment complex as her, and he parked his car next to hers every day. Though he didn’t outright say anything to her ever at the complex, he did seem to enjoy calling her for every question in his class. It was the only time they really spoke. She just didn’t want to deal with him today. The fact he was only a few years older than most of the students he taught made her wonder who he knew or how senile some of the hiring board really was. To her, it seemed to be a mistake to have a man like that near teenage girls. Even she had to admit he was a good looking man.
She heard the bell and soon found herself in the hallway fighting to get to her next class when she stopped and was thinking about skipping. It wasn’t like she had anyone who would care if the school called the house. She didn’t know where her mother was, it had been over a week since she was home, and her father basically gave up years before though he didn’t live with them anymore. He had his new family to worry about while Bree was left on her own most of the years she had been in the cramped stupid apartment. The voice that came from behind her, though, brought her out of her fog, “I don’t think you want to miss today’s class, Miss Wilson.”
“Whatever, Mr. Danner, I really don’t care about it either way,” Bree replied as she continued forward.
“If you do miss it and I have seen you leave, I will give you a detention.” He said.
“And like I will show up for that either.” She said sarcastically.
“Then it will go into a Saturday school.” He said with a sigh.
“Sir, Respectively, don’t try to scare me with detentions and Saturday schools. They don’t work on kids no one cares about.” Bree said, and she continued towards the door.
“What are you talking about?” he asked as he reached out and grabbed her shoulder to halt her, and then it came off. “I wouldn’t be arguing with you to get to class if I didn’t care.”
“Then you are the only one.” She said.
“Bree, go to class.” He said, “I won’t call on you today.”
“Mr. Danner, I really just want to go home,” Bree said.
“I would prefer you to stay.” He said, and Bree looked up over her shoulder, and she thought she saw something flicker on his face that she didn’t know. It momentarily confused her.
“Fine.” She said as she walked still in front of him and just hung her head low. She started thinking of all the things she needed to do after school.
“Good. I would like to see you after class.” He said.
“I can’t do that today,” Bree said. “I have to go cash my check.”
“And you can’t do that tomorrow?” he asked.
“Well, I would like to eat tonight,” Bree said, and he looked at her.
“Bree, where is your mother?” he asked as they got to the classroom.
“Who knows and who cares,” Bree said as she walked into the classroom and sat in her seat. She took out her book and opened it to the assignment that had been due that day. Though she didn’t have a parent who seemed to care about what she did in school or for anything, she did want to leave when she graduated. She wanted to be better than her mother, who only had a high school education, and that had been a major issue between the two females. Bree wanted more out of life.
Somehow even though the older woman was never around to help with anything, the bills did get paid. Bree never wanted to know how either since her mother didn’t have a steady job. Though she knew that her mother had many friends that she would spend time with. Taking care of her daughter was not something the older woman cared for or ever really did. Bree had heard her mother talking to her father once before about her, and it was then she knew that neither of her parents cared enough to see if she was taken care of. They met her basic needs and then left her on her own. At seventeen, she was almost done and ready to leave as soon as she graduated.
Bree worked part-time at a home store in the area. Though it wasn’t much, she had worked hard and was saving to get away. The best thing her mother did was allow her to get her license and then to buy her a small car. That was more than she had ever hoped for from either of her parents.
As the period was getting ready to end, the man in the front of the room dismissed everyone, but he leveled a stare at Bree to stay in her seat. She did. Though she knew she had things to do, she also knew he wouldn’t give up either. The last thing she wanted was any trouble he could bring into her life.
“Now care to explain?” He asked as he sat on the table next to hers and looked down at her.
“About?” she asked.
“Having to cash your check to be able to eat, Where your mother is, possibly your father, maybe everything in between.” He said as he looked at her.
“Why?” she asked and made a face at him. “Both my parents know what I do when they are around. Why do you care? I do my work, I answer all your questions, and I am not starving, so what of it?”
“Why do you get hostile when I am just asking a question?” he asked.
“Because we have a system.” She said. “That is all you need to know.”
“Bree.” The man in front of her said as she stood up.
“Don’t worry about me. I do just fine. Now I need to go so I can do what I have to.” She walked out the door, and he just shook his head at the small girl that had just walked out of the room.
Five years later…“My wife and kids will be here soon,” Gabe said as he laughed as he looked around the middle schoolroom that he taught in for the past five years. It was the open house for the middle school, and this time he wanted Bree to be there like she had been every time to make sure things ran smoothly. The two of them had changed people’s perspectives when they saw the couple together. The act of getting married had done that, and Bree had to laugh when people said that was when they saw Gabe as not a child predator. She knew the truth, and so did he.“Sorry, we’re late,” Bree said as she walked in the room, knowing that they still had about an hour before parents would start to show up for the meetings with each teacher.“It’s okay,” Gabe said with a smile as he leaned down to kiss his wife and lift up his four-year-old daughter, and kissed her cheek.&l
Bree woke up in the middle of the night because of Gabe’s wandering hands on her bareback. She looked up to him from her perch on his chest. He was smiling. “Feel better?” She asked.“In so many ways.” He replied as he moved her to be eye level with him. “Sex was never at the top of the list. I wanted you to be comfortable. When I heard you thought I didn’t want you that way earlier, I nearly exploded internally. Bree, I wanted you that way when you were my student if we are honest completely with each other. Only you could get through to me, though.”“Why?” she asked as she snuggled closer to him, and he kissed her nose that was right there in front of him.“Because I love you.” He said, and he looked at her and waited. He knew she had never heard those words before, probably even from the people, she should have.“I don’t know what love is.
The dinner was subdued. The place was one of those places that you wouldn’t think that it could be considered romantic, but he knew that she would see the small things more than a fancy restaurant. It was one of the few places he could remember his father taking his mother, too, without the horde of children. It was just for that reason, as well.She sat back after eating a small amount though he knew she had enjoyed her meal by the way she had attacked it. She looked at him and was quietly taking the place in. “Why here?” She asked.“My mother is a foreigner here.” He said with a laugh, “This always reminded her of home. It was one of those places that we didn’t come as a family very often, but my dad used to take her here when she would get homesick. I think the food is good, but the privacy that it has without making it feel private is why I wanted to come here. I just wanted a good night out t
Gabe looked around as he waited for her to come back out. He was still stunned at her last statement. He had been in pain for the past two months with her around. He wanted her more every day. He didn’t give a damn about any scars unless they were causing her pain. He knew those were the lines that doctors had made to save her life. Those were there because she was still there. They did hold some value to him, but they weren’t repulsive. They were victories.He knew it was time. It was time for them to stop just being roommates. He had to let her know how he felt. He needed to show her everything.Dinner was the first step. He changed his plans in his head. This night had to be different. He had just wanted to give her a break. Now he was on a mission. He smiled when the idea came to him, and he knew that was the way he needed to go in. He saw her come out in her new clothes and he smiled at her.“Come on, let&rsq
“What is it?” Bree asked.“It feels like we aren’t alone,” Gabe said with a sigh. “I guess staying in didn’t help either. I should probably call the cops, but honestly, at this point, I just want to go and have our night.”“Gabe,” Bree said as she lowered her head again. He knew she was having the beginning of one of her meltdowns. Normally this woman in front of him was one of the most stubborn and headstrong women he had ever met. However, since they had truly confirmed the pregnancy, he had seen her go through a series of emotions in a matter of a few minutes. He knew it was bothering her as well. As well as the fact he wanted her to stay at home and just help with the small things.“Bree. Honey, it is okay.” He said as he closed the car door. Hoping he could stop the roller coaster of her emotions before they got to the store, he wanted to hurry up. All he wanted was a night out with her
Days turned into weeks. Though the summer was dragging on as the two stayed mostly in the house. The summer nights were cool instead of hot in most places. The apartment was cool as well. Gabe looked at her as he surprised her this day, “Get dressed.” He said as he looked at her.“What, why?” She asked.“Because I am taking you out for dinner.” He said as he tilted his head to look at her. He knew that they had moved past the mostly awkward part of a relationship, but there were sometimes she still surprised him. He watched her as she moved to the room they shared, and she was trying to find some clothes to wear. She came out, and she was wearing something he wouldn’t think she would wear to a nice night out. “Bree, what are you wearing?”“Gabe, there is a slight problem.” She said as she looked at him.“What is it?” he asked.“I can&r
