Unexpected Happenings [UNEXPECTED SERIES #1]

Chapter 25

*A few months later*

"Alright people, have a good day and remember to complete the essays during the weekend okay?"

"Yes ma'am" I nod and smile, walking the ninth graders out and then getting back to arranging the bookshelves. 

Since the semester is coming to an end, I was asked to clear out the old books; damaged books, books that are out of stock and are not necessary these days and make a new list of books for the new term. I was also told that there'll be a small renovation in the library and that I should come up with some ideas for it. I'm excited! I've always liked the idea of interior designing or just simply browsing through pinterest for designing ideas.

"Uh hello? Kiara, you there?" I hear Daniel's voice coming from the back door of the library. 

"In here!" I call, and jump off the chair I was standing on. Short people struggles.

"Oh hey, what are you upto?" He gives me a warm smile. 

"Clearing out some books and just organising the shelves"

"Oooh nice." He chuckles. 

"Yeah" I smile and feel like I'm about to sneeze. "Hachoo!"

"Bless you" Daniel laughs softly, I smile. "I was about to ask you if you have plans this weekend.." he starts. 

"Oooh okay" I give him a playful smile. "Ask away, doctor Hill" I laugh. 

"Well," he starts again. "There's um this musical show somewhere around the London bridge. I'd like you to come with me" he says. 

"Another musical show?" I joke and he nods with an amused smile on his face. "Sure. Text me the details" 

"We can go there together." He says. "I can drive us there, I mean" he adds a second later. 

"Okay" I smile and carry a pile of books towards the big brown cardboard box in the corner.

"Need a hand?" 

"Thanks but I can manage" I say and slowly place the books inside the box and dust my hands. "Do you have a class to get to?" I check with him.

"Nope. Free period" he says and I nod. "I can help you" he says when I walk back to the bookshelf I was organising.

"Uh, okay. Thanks" I say and I discuss with him what's to be done and once he knows what to do we get to work. He loosens his tie and folds his shirt sleeves before starting with one of the biggest shelves loading the cardboard box with the unwanted books.

"How's Boots doing by the way?" He makes conversation here and there. 

"Oh my gosh-he's growing fast! But he's the cutest!" I say, instantly excited to talk about my pup.

"Awe. They grow fast...wish they didn't though but he's a sweet guy" he smiles, briefly looking over at me from the other end of the room.

"Yeah" I smile thinking about my pup. "The other day, I wore a mini shirt on him, he looked adorable while posing with his new shirt on" I laugh just thinking about how talented my pup is.

"Wow, really? Maybe he should try dog-modelling" he says and I laugh, loading the cardboard box.

"Hey Harry, what's up?" I hold the phone up in between my ear and my shoulder, while stirring the pasta that's currently boiling. 

It's been almost four hours, taking care of the twins after school. I'm currently making dinner and waiting for Adam to come down for dinner.

"Meetings, meetings and meetings" he sighs. I nod, turning off the stove and sprinkling the flavour and then the chicken pieces I cut earlier.
