“If I concentrate on this,” he says, gesturing towards me, “then the only part of this dance that we’ll see will be the inside of my car.”
I stifle a laugh, and he finally breathes.
“You look so sexy in that dress, Headmistress.”
“You don’t look so bad yourself in that tux, Kerry.”
“Don’t say that again, or I’ll have to take off these trousers.”
This time I don’t hold back; the laugh erupts from my body.
“Are you ready to make your entrance with me?” he asks, suddenly serious.
I lace my fingers into his and squeeze his hand.
“I’m ready to face everything with you.”
Epilogue

Iwatch as Jordan chats to some of the teachers, so confident and beautiful in her long, red dress. Her hair is pulled back, her neck exposed. She’s wearing those sexy, nerdy glasses, and her lips are full and red; I can’t stop staring at her. I excuse myself for a few minutes to try and calm the excitement building between my legs.
“Look who’s here.”
I turn to see my friend doing his job, for once.
“Did you come here in your uniform just to make me feel worse about myself?”
Tyler laughs. “Have you just left her on her own?” He nods toward Jordan. “Someone could snatch her away from under your nose.”
“Don’t even think about it. You keep thoseskillshidden away under that sexy uniform.”
“I’m a fireman.”
“Whatever you say.”
“Confidence issues, Hayes?” Jordan appears suddenly from behind Tyler.
“All good, Ms Hill.”
“Thank you for being here.”
“It’s always a pleasure to know I’m satisfying your needs.”
“Are you two done?”
Tyler walks off, as I grab Jordan by the hand and drag her in front of me.
“I don’t like that guy.”
“Isn’t that guy your best friend?”
“Let’s not get carried away.”
“I thought you two were pretty close.”
“The only thing I want to be close to – right now and forever – is…” He leans closer to my ear. “…is your underwear, when I slide it down your legs as soon as we’re on your sofa, Headmistress.”
