Teaching Aleck (The Last Hangman MC #2)(34)

I finally get to check my messages and see it’s not Brian, it’s Aleck.

Aleck: Hey Gorgeous, how have you been?

Aleck: Good luck for tomorrow.

Aleck: If you don’t reply within the next 5 minutes, I’m showing up at your door, I don’t care if you’re busy with the asshat.

Woah, someone is a bit impatient. It does make me smile though. He’s never been the jealous and over possessive type over the years, well, not that he had a reason to but, you know, it’s good to know that he’s jealous and concerned.

Me: I’m fine, calm your tits!

Aleck: What if I told you I’m already at your front door?

Me: You’re a f*cking creeper if you are!

Aleck: Would you let me in?

Me: Of course.

Aleck: Sadly, I’m not there.

Me: That’s disappointing, only words!

Aleck: Watch what you’re saying, Line, or you might be surprised by what might happen to you ;)

Me: Bring it, Sanford! :p

Aleck: I will Gorgeous and you won’t know what hit you…

Me: Again, only words.

Aleck: You’ll see…

Me: Sure, sure.

Aleck: So, ready for tomorrow?

Me: As ready as I’ll ever be, shitting myself that I will be on my own teaching them, but excited at the same time.

Aleck: You’ll do good, don’t worry.

Me: I hope you’re right.

Aleck: I’m always right Gorgeous. I’ll let you get some rest and see you very soon.

Me: Yeah, right…I hope so, haven’t seen you in a couple of days.

Aleck: I know been busy, club stuff.

Me: Alright, see you soon xxx

Aleck: See you soon Line xxx

Well, I had no idea Aleck was into texting, had I know I’d have started earlier! It’s nice to know he was thinking of me and wanted to check on me.

I smile lying in bed staring at my phone. Yes, I’m super lame and I don’t even care. Aleck is really opening up and showing he actually wants something and isn’t avoiding me on purpose this time.

******

I groan as my alarm wakes me up. I’m tempted to hit the snooze button, but I can’t be late, not for my first day in a new school. It would be frowned upon and I wouldn’t be able to show up for the rest of the year. Yes, I’m a bit overdramatic with things like that.

Reluctantly, I open my eyes and rub my eyes. I did have a good night of sleep, too good maybe, I spent the night dreaming of Aleck. They were rather intimate. I can’t remember the last kinky dream I had. It’s been that long. Or I just don’t remember them.

I check the time.

6 a.m.

Fuck my life.

It’s way too early, but I need to go over what I have ready for the day one more time to be sure, and you never know if your hair dryer is going to die on you last minute or if your coffee maker isn’t set up properly, I don’t want to show up for my first day looking and acting like a damn zombie!

I get out of bed and put on some music to wake me up. Not long ago, Ayden put a rock music playlist on my phone and told me to listen to it in the morning, that it’d do the trick. I’m not sure if she’s right or not, but I do need some help to wake up and it’s just too early for me to have coffee or any food.

I put it on and the first one that plays scares me and makes me jump in the air. Fucking Ayden! I plug my phone in the dock station and let the music play louder. Not really my thing, but I’ll give it a try. What can I say? I’m more into pop and country.

I strip out of my pajamas and step into the shower. I find myself singing along to the song that’s playing, the chorus is quite catchy.

I take good care washing and conditioning my hair, shaving carefully and use some shower oil. Might as well pamper myself and make me feel good to start the day. No way am I doing this every morning. It’s probably going to last a week tops.

I nearly slip out of the shower as I’m dancing around. I should know better, not the first time it’s happened.

I pat myself dry and towel-dry my hair, wrapping it in a towel. I moisturize and put on my undies and a robe before heading downstairs.

I settle for a vanilla coffee and put the little pod in the coffee machine and start brewing it while I decide what to have for breakfast. I settle on something simple, eggs and bacon. That should hold me up until lunch.

I start to cook and check my emails and messages while the bacon cooks.

Ayden: You’re gonna rock their socks off! You’ve got this boo! <3

Ant: Love you sweetheart. You’ll do good don’t stress out too much. Your car is fixed btw, come over whenever you want to pick it up ;)

Mom: Hey sweetie, I hope you have an amazing day. Have fun and be happy. You’ll do great.

Bennett: Yo! If you need a bodyguard against those little evil shits let me know! I’m yours ;)

Callum: Be nice to them and they will be nice to you, hopefully. Good luck Char.

Ryan: Whatever you do, do not turn your back to them they’ll get you! Jk lol good luck sweetheart you’ll do good ;)

Dad: Good luck Princess, you’ve got this.

Aleck: Good morning Gorgeous, I hope you have an amazing day. Show these little demons who’s the boss ;) xxx

Josie: Good luck sweetie. Stop by the bakery after school for some donuts ;) xx

Yay! Betty is fixed! It’s amazing all the love and support my friends give me. I never thought I’d have this many friends. I’m not this close to all the club members, but to know that some of them are keeping track of what I do and are supporting me, even if I’m not a part of their world, is amazing. They really are an extended family.
