" Dr. HighTower , thank you for seeing me on such short notice," Reese Malden said smoothly as he sat across from the headmaster's desk. His short brown hair was geled up and spiked on the top and his soulful brown eyes were currently hidden behind a pair of sunshades. He wore an expensive designer suit in a light beige with matching slip on shoes and no socks. " I do appreciate your patience with my niece. I know Willow can be..... trying at the very best of times. "
Gerald was feeling tongue tied at the moment. He was a grown man but he was completely flustered by this man. The man who sang his favorite song " One Final Kiss ". The man who had starred in his favorite holiday movie " Ben and the Christmas Wish". He loved Alfred but if pushed came to shove he would have to admit having a small crush on this man before him.
" Ummm. Yes. Well. Yes. Your niece.... is a good student. Yes. We appreciate her presence here. "
Reese smiled understandingly. " Relax. I don't bite. I wasn't always a celebrity you know. I was a doctor once. In an ER. Then I got discovered. " His smile slipped slightly. " But I'm just a human being. Like you. I just stopped by to offer my services. "
" Services ? "
" I'm on a year sabbatical from performing and movies and whatnot. I'm bored though. I was wondering if I could teach drama at the school. I mean Willow tells me outside of the musical theater club there is no drama class. So I volunteer my service for just that. You don't need to pay me of course. Like I said I'm bored out of my head right now. My husband is hard at work with the investigation firm. Willow has school. The newspaper practically runs itself. So what do you say? "
Gerald took a deep breath and smiled sheepishly. " I say welcome to Barrington Academy as a teacher, Mr. Malden. Or do you prefer Dr. ? "
Reese grinned at him. " I prefer Reese. I just can't stand when fans call me and Eric Eeese. I think it's dumb. At least Rebel and Dom got Romy. "
