"Ms. Livia." I look over as one of my students stops at the end of the class to ask me a question. I was packing up the last bit of my things before I left for the day. It's my second year teaching the second grade and everyone in this school, and town to be honest, has become like family. I moved states after most of my friends' jobs moved them to Tennessee, I decided to follow the four of them and move to the same town. I sold my house, filed for divorce, which was quickly settled, and this town was everything I ever Imagined about having. I bought an adorable three-bedroom house with cash left over to furnish it and no mortgage, the bigger city was twenty minutes away if I decided to shop, but the local grocery store was less than five minutes from my house for all the real necessities. It was perfect. I spent the last year working on loving myself again and honestly it was working! "Ms. Livia you there?"

"Sorry T I lost my train of thought. What's up sweetheart?"

"I was wondering if I can be in your class again next year." I laughed and knelt down to hug her.

"Aw Teagan that is so sweet, but you are too smart for second grade again! It's time for third grade and i promise Mr. Milton or Mrs. Penny is both amazing teachers! You will have just as much fun with them I promise."

"Can you walk me out to my car at least? I'm just going to miss you so much." She started to sniffle, and it made my heart melt.

"Of course, princess." I grabbed my things we were now the last two in the classroom, and we headed out to the pickup line. Usually, I stay later but I made sure all my work was done early for the last day. "Is your grandma picking you up today?" We got outside and were waiting for a few minutes, and I didn't see her mom Angela yet or her white Lincoln like usual.

"No actually my uncle is picking me up today. He's been working a lot but finally he got off work." She was super excited as she saw a big black pickup truck pull into a parking spot. I turned around to help her get her backpack on and tied her jacket around her waist since it was a bit too warm for it. I turned and electricity filled my body. My eyes met these gorgeous blue eyes, and I froze I couldn't look away. They seemed so familiar, and I did not like how my body was reacting to just the gaze. "Uncle Grey!" Teagan ran to him as soon as he made it to the concrete sidewalk. Her jacket fell off her waist and I grabbed it handing it to him. The same electricity shook through me and I yanked my hand away.

"Ah sorry its been so dry lately the static is crazy." I spat out nervously and he smiled.

"This is Ms. Livia! Shes the best teacher ever! You should be jealous she never taught you. Maybe you would be smarter Uncle Grey!" I laughed and he pretended to be offended by her but smiled. This guy was literally made in a factory. He was chiseled, tanned, had literally the perfect curly brown hair and ice blue eyes. His smile was even white and perfectly straight. No man should look like that.

"Wow Teag's a hug and an insult. Hi, I'm Greyson picking up little Ms. today sorry for running behind i got stuck at every red light." He stuck his hand out to shake mine and I accepted that zap shooting through again this time I chose to pretend it wasn't there. I couldn't mentally deny what this strange man was doing to me, nor did I like it but I can physically choose to ignore it. This was the first and probably last time I would be seeing him since he happened to be on pick up duty the last day of the school year.

"Hi Ms. Livia or Ms. Matthews depending on the student I let them choose which one to call me."

"Nice to meet you Ms. Matthews. Thanks for taking care of my favorite girl here."

"Of course! She is an amazing student and is going to accomplish amazing things in life." I booped her nose before grabbing my things. My backpack opened and a bunch of books fell out. Crud. He reached down and grabbed a couple of the booked while i grabbed the other. He handed them to me and a couple tickets I had to a club a couple towns over started to fall out. He grabbed them out of the air before the wind could catch them and handed them to me.

"The blue velvet huh? Thats awful far away for a night out." he stated as he handed them to me.

"Yeah well I am a second grade teacher and there are rules I have to follow of which involves me not wanting my students parents running into me. However I also feel teachers should have fun too. Plus this place is really nice." He smiled a particularly cocky smile.

"Why thank you. I wasn't so sure about the area when I opened it but Its actually doing really well." My eyes widened. What are the odds he owns the one-night club I got tickets too. Thats not weird at all. "Well, when you go tell them Greyson Woods upgraded you to VIP. In fact." He pulled out his phone. "What are you and your friends' names?"

"Olivia, Brent, Trevor and Kylie." I stuttered out. "Mr. Woods you don't have to really we will be fine just standard entry."

"Nonsense. You are one of Teags favorite people. It's the least I can do. Also, drinks are on me for you and your friends, and uh, boyfriend?" I couldn't help the smile that filled my face. Smooth dude.

"No, no boyfriends. Just friends." and his smile grew ever so slightly.

"Great, i mean not great that uh..." He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly "anyways I hope you and your friends have fun and maybe I'll run into you sometime." He grabbed T's hand as he smiled and walked off. I got butterflies in my stomach at the thought of running into him again. While I was determined not to date anyone, and I haven't in over two years..... He looks like he knew his way around a woman and that excited me in a way I hadn't felt in years. Even my Ex didn't excite me the way that this strange model of a man did. I didn't even realize I had watched him walk away until his eyes met mine again and a smile formed on his face as he got Teagan buckled into the car. I quickly looked away and headed to my car.

I sat in my car and tried to calm my body down. I was literally burning with desire for this complete stranger of a man. Not to mention a man related to one of my students. Or previous students. Regardless I am pretty sure there are rules against this. Conflict of interest or something. I picked up my phone and called Kylie. She and Angel were literally my best friends since high school. I shook trying to rid my body of the strange feeling he left lingering on me.
