In Love With My Bully
Nicola Taylor
As I wrapped up my last class, I started packing up after the assistant teacher took the students out for drop-off. A knock on my classroom door made me look up to see James, one of my fellow teachers, standing there.
“Oh, hello! What are you doing here?” I greeted him happily as he entered the room.
“Wow, Nicola, you look nice. What's the occasion?” he asked, making me blush at the compliment.
“Just felt like it,” I answered shyly, remembering how I stopped dressing up two years ago after my last and final breakup. I had dated a man for seven years, supporting him through medical school on my kindergarten teacher’s salary, only for him to leave me once he got placed.
