The One Love

part seven

I got in the car as Damian drove me to the local preschool. I smiled as I saw the little ones playing in the play ground,

I stepped out of the car. I smiled as little Alana came running up to me. I know teachers aren't supposed to have favorites but I just loved her.

I squat down so she could give me a hug. 

" How was your weekend?" I asked her with a smile. 

" Good!!! Me and Mommy had lots of fun at the beach!" 

I made a fake pouty face " What about me?" 

she smiled " we will take you next time." 

and with that she ran and joined her friends. 

Damian was watching me with an amused expression, 

" You have quite a bit of patience for the little ones." 

I smiled " Yeah, but I am not sure I want one of my own because, I don't want that type of responsibility. You know? Someones life, their happiness, well being, I couldn't do that."

He looked at me, " You are wise for your years." 

I smirked " Yeah, most people say that."

I called for my class and went inside, Damian followed behind me.

I let the student teacher watch them for a moment.

" Hey come with me, you have to have permission to stay." 

he cocked an eyebrow like what the fuzz are you talking about. 

" Come,"  

I grabbed his fore arm leading him to the office.

" Hello Rachael," I greeted the receptionist. 

she smiled " Hello, What can I help you with,Miss. Áileacht?"

" Umm, my friend here will be staying here to just help with the paper work in my class and attendance and such."

she smiled a ruby red lip smile " Sure, have him fill out the form."

The for asked his phone number, full name, address, you know the works.

I gave a smiley face name sticker that said 'Hello my name is...' 

I stuck it on his chest. His face was priceless.

He gave me and the receptionist the papers and he headed to the class room.

I sat down in the car and sighed stretching. 

Damian sighed " how do you do it?" 

I shrugged " I am good with little kids,"

" That's good because after the tenth kid I had to help push on the swing, and the twelfth one that got food on me I was ready to kill them." 

I rolled my eyes and slapped his chest. 

" you would not," 

he shrugged " Maybe, But still they annoyed the crap out of me."
