Loving Talia Love (GxG)

1.

I woke up because my alarm was going off.

I sat up and put on my glasses. I looked at my alarm clock and saw that my alarm had been going off for twenty minutes.

I jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom.

I tried to open the door but it was locked.

I knocked, "Hey, I'm sorry but I need to get in there."

The door opened and I saw Grandma Nelly.

I was immediately apologetic, "Grandma, I didn't know you were in there. I'm sorry if I startled you."

She walked slowly with her cane. "Don't rush life Talia. Someone's always later than you."

She chuckled softly as she left.

Crazy lady she is.

I went in the bathroom and I took a quick shower. Once I finished showering I got out and went back to my room.

When I went back in there I saw Dani on my bed.

She then said, "Mama T said you were taking me to daycare."

Shit, I did promise her that.

"I'm sorry Dani, I woke up late. Can you ask Mama D to take you?" I asked.

She then said, "Again?"

I sighed softly, "Yes, again. I'll take you tomorrow Dani."

She stood up and murmured, "No you won't." Before leaving.

I did another short sigh before getting ready for the day.

Luckily I planned my outfit last night.

After I got dressed and did my hygienic things. I put my hair in a tight bun and grabbed my bag.

I went downstairs and I saw Mama T behind the cafe counter.

"Hey Mom can I have-" She handed me a breakfast wrap and some warm tea.

I smiled softly, "Thank you."

She gave me a nod, "Have a good day sweetie."

I went outside and I saw Mama D putting Dani in the car.

I tried to quickly go to my car but I heard, "Talia."

I slowly turned and went over to her.

She came over and said, "Dani said you woke up late this morning."

I agreed, "Yeah, I told her I'd take her tomorrow."

She nodded softly, "But you have to take her to her doctors appointment tomorrow."

I rubbed my forehead. "I forgot about that..."

She folded her arms, "Talia you remember what your mother and I said-"

I cut her off, "Yes I remember Ma but I'm running really late. Can we please talk about it when I come back. Pretty please..."

I folded my hands together and she gave a short nod.

I hugged her and said, "I love you Mom...I'm going to work on it." She kissed my forehead.

I got in my car and drove to the high school.

I was a little nervous. This was my first paid internship and after this I'll be able to be a teacher. I mean, I'm only 22, I have another year or two before I move out.

Though, Daniel moving out at 20 didn't set a good precedent for me.

But if I move out I need to take Dani with me. I'm not sure I'm ready to do that just yet.

I made it to the high school and got out of the car.

I went to the office and walked in. It looked exactly like I remembered it when I was younger and my mothers worked here.

"Hello. I'm Talia Love, I'm here for the teacher assistant job with Ms.Thompson." I said, introducing myself.

The receptionist smiled warmly, "Ok, wonderful. She isn't here just yet so you can take a seat over there."

I sat down I waited for about five minutes and a woman came in.

She went to the receptionist desk and then came over to me.

"Talia?" She questioned. I stood up.

She had an apologetic look, "Hello, I'm Ms. Thompson and I'm so sorry, I lost track of time this morning. I hope you aren't upset."

Wow, she was really gorgeous.

I waved her off, "Oh no, it's fine. I was on a time crunch this morning because of a faulty alarm clock."

She shrugged, "Must've been a coincidence. My classroom is this way."

I followed her to her classroom and I tried not to stare too hard. She was just very beautiful.

I was trying to embrace my quiet and reserved side and be like Mama T, but having a breathtaking woman in front of me was pulling the Mama D flirt out of me.

We made it to the classroom and it was nicely decorated. It was welcoming for an English class.

She turned to me, "So, Talia, did you want me to call you by your first name or-"

I shook my head, "My first name is fine. I would actually prefer if the Students called me Miss T for now."

She smiled softly, "Okay, I'll let them know. You know, the boys were hoping you were pretty. Just try not to mind the terrible flirting."

I hmm'd, "Do you experience a lot of flirting?"

She shrugged, "Jokingly, yes. They know I'm in a relationship though."

And just like that my imagination was foiled.

"A relationship. How long?" I asked.

She glanced at her lap, "Almost two years. How about you? Any relationships?"

I shook my head, "No, very single. Um...do you have any kids?"

She was a little quiet. As if I touched on something sensitive.

"No, I don't want kids. I'd ask you but you're only twenty two and you just got out of college right?" She asked.

I was a little quiet, "I have a four year old."

Her eyes shot up, "Oh...I'm sorry."

I shook my head, "You're fine. Where do we start?"

She then went around her desk and showed me her lesson plan. I never stopped wondering about her deal with the topic of kids.
