Laura's POV
Days have already passed and day by day, I am enjoying my job in Smart Lake Academy. The kids are fun and lovable to be with and I will never get tired of teaching.
Ms. Layla and I got along very well. I found out that she is already married which I was very surprised knowing that she is already 28! She had no kids but expecting this year.
The other teachers are nice to me. Mr. Ken...well, I am not sure but I felt like he always come and talk to me. Once he brought me snacks in my room, then he will escort me to the school's gate and sometimes, he just clings to me which I dont know the reason.
Could he be making a move on me? Well he is actually good looking. Dimples, blonde and tall. Not a bad idea to give it a chance, right?
Today my class ends pretty good. The kids quickly understood their lesson and as a teacher, I am very happy. I have talented and smart students.
I hang around on the teacher's faculty before going home because since it was lunch break. I will just get angry at Douglas' maids if I went home early. They are very annoying and it feels like they are watching evey move I make. Its better to stay away from the mansion
"So Ms. Chantal, do you have a boyfriend?" Ms. Erica, the 3rd grade advicer.
I suddenly laughed at her question "Why would you ask that?"
"The question just popped in my mind" she replied "So?"
"Nope" I answered, lowering my head then raised it once again. But in business, I am dating Douglas...eww!
"Ohhh, so..." she gave Mr. Ken a look. But something fishy behind that look.
I inhaled deeply "How about you, Ms. Erica? I am not going to believe you if you said no" I smirked playing along. I dont want to aura between them two
She laughed "Well sweetie, I am already married"
"No kidding?" I asked again
"Yep" she raised her hand and show me her silver wedding ring "2 years now"
"Wow, that's...cool" I commented. I dont know what will I say.
When I heard or know someone who is happily married, there is this bitter feeling in me. I dont believe in love anymore. Especially those happily in love each other...I just dont see myself enjoying it.
Douglas gets angry with me when I asked him if he fell in love before. He yelled at me and told me that he never wants me asking him about that. Maybe he did fell in love before but it didnt end well. So...who is that girl that made Big Bad Douglas so cold and hateful to love.
Geez, in that case , he.doesnt need to be cold to me as well. I am different from other girls just like Mr. Lautner said before...which was a total lie.
Weird...
Speaking about Paul...I hope I am mistaking but...Is that him at the school's hallway with one of my students, Josephine with him?
"Ms. Chantal!" she noticed me and quickly smiled at me
Oh shit...
Paul blinked twice. Might be a little surprised seeing me here. Well, the girlfriend of one of the richest man on Earth is here working as a simple teacher? Probably not the place he is expecting to see me.
"Chantal?" he greeted with the normal expression he is always giving. His eyes examined me from head to toe. "Wow, I didnt expect to see you here"
Gosh, my legs started to shake again and I tugged on my skirt "Oh...um...Mr. Lautner...Its nice to meet you again" I tried to act normal.
"She's my advicer" Josephine tugged on his shirt
Paul looked at her and then met eyes with me. Shit...was is this feeling? A feeling of electricity running through my body. I tried to look away from him and keep uttering to myself.
Act natural, Laura. You're Chantal not Laura. Act natural.
I took a deep breath before breaking the silence. Then it hits me. Who is Josephine to him? Dont tell me she's his daughter?!
"Are you going home, Ms. Chantal? " Josephine asked cutely
"Um...no. I still have some...some things to do, little one" I smiled at her
Paul just stared at me, not saying a thing "I am surprised seeing yoy here, Mr. Lautner"
"I am the one who should be saying that line. I am surprised seeing you here, Ms. Chantal" there is this smoothness in his voice that makes me shiver
His words made me rub the back of my neck "Well based on our first meeting, we both should be surprise to see each other again" I said humorously
Paul's mouth formed a little smirk "Yeah. I agree with you. I didnt expect seeing Douglas' girl working as a teacher"
"Well, what are you expecting me to be?" I asked
"A model. Like everyone else's girlfriend" he replied. So he thinks I'm a model?
I smiled at his words "Well, sorry to burst your bubble, Mr. Lautner, but I am not like everyone else" wait...am I flirting with Paul? Damn.
Paul's smile suddenly disappears making me a little conscious. Did I say something wrong?
"I-I'm....I mean I should be going now. Still have work to do" I told him, avoiding his stares. I stepped back "Well...um...see you around, Mr. Paul. Good bye, Josephine. See you on Monday" I smiled at her and she smiled back
"Bye, Ms. Chantal!" she exlaimed, waving her tiny hand at me making me laugh
When I turn away to leave, I let out a breath. God I feel like I cant breathe there. Paul is totally breathtaking.
God, why is this always happening to me?
Paul's POV
I was a little taken back right there. The way she said that she is different from everyone else. It makes me think about Laura. She talks and acts like her.
Especially when she is talking me. The way her voice shakes when she is nervous or shy just like the same way Laura speaks.
No, she is not Laura.
But if ever that is Laura...it is also possible. Even though she had a different nose, skin and looks but no matter what happened. You can never change the sparkle in her eyes. Chantal had the same dreamy green eyes like her.
The way their eyes flooded with shyness. Are the same.
Chantal Davis...
That girl is full of mystery.
I smirk a little when something came in my mind.
Be ready, Chantal. I am going to find out the real you.
"Paul?" my thoughts broke when my little sister, Josephine, but we call her Jo called me "Is something wrong?" she asked
I shook my head and smiled at her while I pat her head "C'mon, lets go home, kid"
We went to my car and started driving home. Jo was born 5 years ago when my Dad remarried to her fromer secretary. I am not going to lie because there no reason fr me to lie
I am not close to my stepmom. I am not the type of guy who is looking forward for a family. Especially a mother in the family. I am fine with the idea that she became a mother to my younger sisters but I dont need one. I am happier if I am alone and no is buggig my life.
Okay, I accept her as a part of the family but there is no reason for to be close to her. I still dont trust this woman. After my mom, many woman wants to marry my Dad for money so I dont know if I should trust her.
So, what should I do to Chanel?
"Paul, I'm hungry!" Jo whined punching my arm while I was gripping the steering wheel
But first, I will buy my sister something to eat...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Laura's POV
Today is Saturday and I have no work to do so I went to the mall to get away from the mansion. Like I said before, they are all pissing me off. They are always watching me.
I ws just walking around the mall when I kept on noticing families here. All having fun and laughing. I smiled seeing the view, I miss my family. Mom, Dad and Jess. I miss them so much! But just a little more, I am going to see them again. Just have a little faith.
When I remembered my family, I decided to shop some presents for them. I went to the department store. There are many things to buy there than ordinary shops.
I am going to buy something for my sister first. When I left them, Jess is 8 and now she is already 14! My sister is alll grown up now. Too bad I havent seen her grow. I am such a bad sister.
I decided to buy Jess a bag. Since I dont know her size, a bag is the best option for me. So I went to the ladies' bags section and look around the area.
"Hmmm..which one is better? The blue on or the red one?" I asked myself holding two bags in my hand.
"The red one"
My eyes widen, making me jump a little, turning around quickly , Paul was standing behind me looking hot and handsome at the same time.
He is wearing a plain brown shirt , torn jeans and black converse. And he is staring at me with the no sign of emotion in his face.
"Mr. Lautner, you scared me~"
"Take it off" he cutted me off
My eyebrows frown in confusion. What the hell is this guy thinking?! "I beg your pardon?"
"I said remove it" he saod with the same face ihe had earlier
My mouth opened a little as I blushed "We are in mall, pervert!" I yelled at him
Then suddenly, this time Paul is the one that looked at me confusely then return to the hard expression "Remove the Mr. Lautner and just call me Paul" he said clearly this time
Then I flushed. Ooohhh
O_o
I just made a fool out of my self. "Ooh, sorry. I-I thought..." the heat rose to my cheeks. Shit, I am red as an apple.
Then a teasing smirk appear in his handsome face "What were you thinking? Calling me pervert like that?"
Shit...I turn away to hide my blush but slowly I face him "Um...N-never mind. It doesnt matter"
"It does to me. Dont you think you are the one who is a pervert for thinking something like that" he teases leanig his face closer to me.
Oh no...Step away from him, Laura. He is playing with you!
"Come and have lunch with me" He whispered then lean back
"Why dont you have lunch yourself?" I turn away from him, rolling my eyes.
"I just want a company while I eat...so?" shit dont look at me like Paul or I'll make the mistake I did again 6 years ago. But...my mouth spoke before I could think
"Okay"
