the gentleman's club (+18)

Hiding

Levine

I slowly look around the back of the library to see any signs of where Jesse may have went and I find nothing.
Yet right when I'm about to walk out of the back I hear shuffling coming from near one of the bookshelves. I know she's hiding.

I decided to play dumb and slowly walk around the shelf. I walk my way up to see Jesse on her phone texting someone. I pick her up and throw her on the couch. I get on top of her and pin her hands down to the couch so she wouldn't be able to fight me, as she was already trying.

"Do you know how worried I was about you?" I angrily spit in her face.

She looks up at me with confusion and then tears streaming down at her face having a panic attack, and still trying to fight me. I can tell by her face that she comes to the realization that I'm her professor, and calms down.

"Please get off me." She sorely whines out.

I don't say anything but simply look at her and think about how beautiful she looks. How making her be in this position of me on top of her, watching her cry gets me hard.

"Levine you're scaring her. Stop being so harsh."

I look up and see Lenoir standing near a shelf. He watches us intensely, I slowly get up and walk towards him, getting extremely close then I whisper in his ear,

"Wait until she finds out about playtime, then let's see who's calling who harsh."

I walk out of the back of the library and hear Lenoir curse. I've never been sure what it was but whenever one of us would be rough with a girl it's always like this.

Roman and Lenoir were always the ones to be sweet and caring. To always make sure their comfort and emotions are okay before anything happens. While me and Heroux couldn't care less about whatever our girl feels. Their job is to please us and to what we want them to do, not make them breakfast and hug them while they cry.

I walk into the area where we were grading papers and see Roman and Heroux sitting down at the table, black coffee in front of them and yet they're both discussing something I'm too upset at to even care about.

Roman seems to notice my mood as he breaks away from his and Heroux's conversation.

"What is it V?" Roman asks.

I hated that fucking nickname. V. I met Lenoir a couple years ago and a big problem with us being friends, is that whenever someone tried to speak with us they would have trouble with our names, ours both sounded alike and are spelled similar.

That's when Roman had the bright idea to suddenly call me V one day, and it forever stuck. Everyone calls me V and I wish that if I had told Roman something earlier the nickname wouldn't have stuck.

Somewhat of the same thing with Heroux. Only thing with him is that no one could really say his name right, so he just tells people to call him X.

"I found Jesse hiding from us, Lenoir is up with her right now."

"And you're upset over that?" Roman replied confused.

"No I'm not upset over that, I just don't like her hiding from me, and I also don't like you and little lover boy up there always acting like lovesick pussies."

Roman stared at me for awhile, like he was trying to figure out what to say. I could tell he was losing his temper.

"We practically trapped a young girl and you're mad at her hiding from you, and the fact that me and Lenoir are being nice? Do you seriously hear yourself V?"

I shake my head. I fucking hate it when Romans right, I hate having to constantly get talked down to by him, knowing that what he's saying is true.

I suddenly see Jesse while Lenoir is right next to her having his arm around her waist.

"It's okay baby, just sit down at the table. We need to talk."

Jesse slowly sat down across from me and slowly looked around everywhere. She looked at the table, at the walls, analyzing the whole library, except for looking at me.

"What time is it?" She spoke quietly looking down at her lap.

We all stared at her until she asked again.

"What time is it?" Her voice cracking already sounding like she was going to cry.

"If you want to leave you can." Heroux says coldly.
She doesn't move but continues to move her eyes looking around everywhere.

"We're willing to make you an offer." She slowly looks up at Roman.

"For the past couple of months we've noticed you. We decided to look into your file and we've noticed your parents and your own amount of income. We think we can arrange something for you in able to help you with your financial problem." He says softly.

It was true she needed help and we were going to give it to her. We all saw how she sometimes always wore the same clothes. How her textbooks were damaged and had a big sticker on the spines that read, "USED". How her tennis shoes looked like they had been used for years, and she tried to make them look new.

Never in our years of teaching have we ever had a student like this. The students we get are mostly rich snobby kids who don't know anything about what being poor is like. I guess we all saw this as a sign to take her in.

"How would you all be able to help me?"

Heroux looks up and replies, "Jesse we want you to take this into deep consideration. You have to understand how difficult this situation is for us. We know we are in the wrong for bringing you here after school hours, but it's for safety and privacy reasons."

I didn't know my best friend, Heroux, was a little fucking liar. We didn't drug her and bring her here because of "safety reasons" we brought her here to make sure she doesn't go off telling anyone what we're about to do.

"No I think I understand. I'm sorry for acting up and crying I just thought something was wrong."

Now I didn't know how to feel. Poor girl, she really thinks we're good people trying to help her and not get anything from it.

                                               -

Lenoir stares at Jesse and brings his hand up to her face, moving her fallen hair and putting it behind her ear.

"You know Jesse, you're a very pretty girl. I'm sure boys go crazy over you, don't they?" He rasps out.
