Teaching A Thing Or Two

Chapter 16 Morning Suprise

Finley's POV

My favorite song sings loudly in my room, waking me up with an early morning smile. I groan while stretching in bed, breathing in the manly scent that's on the shirt I'm still wearing of Jameson's.

Just because I couldn't get myself to take it off with it smelling like him, which is surprisingly very relaxing for myself.

I sit up, sliding to the edge of my bed. After swinging my legs off the side of it, I stand up. Stretching more as I walk slowly out of my room, across my house, and to the back porch to smoke a bowl. I love to wake and bake it's the best way I can just have my time, in my space not thinking about anything, just letting my mind, body, and soul relax. It helps me wake up and gives me an appetite as well, so it helps me on multiple levels.

I installed a wooden porch swing a couple of years ago for this very reason.. and now I spend almost every morning here if I can. It's getting nice enough again outside for me to be able to hang out for longer than a couple of minutes and actually get lost in a book.. Spring is here, so it's a little chilly in the morning, but honestly, it's not that bad at all.. That's my opinion, at least, but I like it a little cooler. This weather is just perfect for me, so I can read a handful of chapters in my new book.

I flop down on the swing, throwing my legs across the whole swing as I suck in a deep breath of fresh air just letting the nice, cool morning air shock my lungs at straight contact. I then bring out my joint and lighter, putting the flame to the end as I suck in just craving for this full body relaxing sensation. After such an intense weekend, I just need to clear my mind about these stresses because I'm getting ready to head into a whole new mess of stresses at my work.

So I suck in the hit of smoke again, holding in my hit as I turn the page still reading.. I let out my deep breathe sending the smoke away from me, disappearing into morning air. This big hit gives me the head rush I'm looking for as I slowly swing back and forth, reading every little bit that I can as I suck on the joint more, holding in the smoke for a moment before letting it all out. This is cleared out mind I was talking about.. just what I needed for a great day.. I even have a feeling that today is going to be a good day.

Jameson's POV

"Bye, Sunshine. I hope you have a good day at school." I say, watching her as she prances around the kitchen cooking some breakfast for herself. "Bye daddy, I hope you have a good day! Are you picking me up after school? Or do I need to take the bus home?" She asks from me as I instantly answer over my shoulder while walking out the door. "Take the bus because every day last week I had to stay late at the job. I love you!" I say, shutting the door behind me as I go to the work truck. I'm driving to my work to pick up my coworker as I get an idea of pulling over at the store.

I quickly get out of the vehicle running into the store and purchasing a bouquet of flowers along with some chocolate. I get back into my vehicle, putting the flowers in the middle cup holders to secure them in as I continue driving.

Once I pull into the parking lot, the door is opened instantly. "Hey man.. good morning.. What the hell is all this? I like you, man, but not that way." Shane states to me as I roll my eyes in his direction.

"These are obviously not for you, Jack*ss." I reply as he laughs, getting in the passenger seat.

"Ok... then who? I know there's no way it would be your ex-wife.. so a girlfriend? I don't think I have ever seen you with a girlfriend, James." Shane states to me as I roll my eyes.

"I know, I know." I reply as quickly as I can, just feeling his eyes on me, boring into the side of my face. He decides to stare at me for a way longer than needed in this moment. I think waiting for me to explain. "So who is she?" He asks me as I shrug my shoulders as he adds. "Wait, is it the neighbor at our job that you have been talking about after you helped her? I'm pretty sure I remember you talking to me about how hot she was." He replies as I scoff and retort. "I'm pretty sure I said beautiful, but yes, that's her."

His eyes go wide as he stares at me, but I just continue to drive, not saying anything else.. knowing full well that this silence is going to kill him.

"Soooo????!! You got something going on with the hot neighbor, and you're not going to explain anything?! Come on, man! I need details!" He yells at me as I feel his gaze burning into the side of my face once again.

"After I helped her, I guess she has been thinking about me." I start as he humms in response awaiting the rest of the details.

"She is a teacher.. my daughter's teacher, actually.. my daughter adores her, and I guess they are very close.. so Sunny approves and has asked me to go for her." I say to him as he smiles big, so I add. "So I had no idea that she was her teacher and I had dinner plans to bring Sunny's teacher over to discuss what our plan of attack is for my daughter, because Sunny has been having some problems in school.. She shows up, and we are both in shock.. Then my ex shows up hating her right off the back.. telling Sunny she can't be in her class because she sees the way I was looking at her, I guess.. Sunny runs out of the house being upset, and the teacher follows after her. I told my ex to leave because she is a b*tch and I have to find my daughter.. When I finally leave my house, I get ran into by Sunny, and she is panicking because these guys tried to take advantage of her and Finley, her teacher.. but Finley wouldn't let them touch Sunny, so she offered herself up to help my daughter.. Sunny got away and to me for help.. so I went to help her of course.. and those guys were trying to r*pe her.. they cut her dress open and everything.. I beat the f*#k out of them, of course, and she called the cops.. Once we got away, we argued for a moment about her safety until our intense yelling somehow turned into intense kissing on the drop of a dime. After we got back, we were able to convince her to still stay for dinner, and she does.. But not after I offered her a change of clothes since hers got ripped in the assault. We had dinner, talked about Sunny and then when she went to bed.. Finley and I joke around and talk about how we feel and she wants me to take time to think about how I feel before deciding if I want to be with her and I have decided I want to try and be with her.. I don't think I need much time because I'm already hooked. So I got her this stuff since she had a shitty Valentine's Day in hopes she agrees to be with me as well." I explain everything as he smirks then hitting my arm out of excitement.

"Yes! James, you needed some good loving, and that teacher is hot. All this sounds so perfect with your daughter already loving her.. so are you going to bring this present over to see her right away?" He asks me as I shake my head. "I don't want to wake her up she had a long couple of days and needs some sleep, so when I know she is awake, I'll take it over and talk to her for a minute." I say to him as he smiles so big. "I'm telling the guys when we get there." He says with so much excitement as I chuckle at that nodding.. It's not like he needed my approval anyway because he would have talked about this whether I wanted him to or not. That's just the way he is.

Once we get to the job site, I start to get nervous looking over at her house. The lights don't look on, and I don't see movement in her windows, so I get a little sad knowing I have to wait to talk to her.

Shane jumps out of the car and bolts into the house with so much excitement. I get out following behind slowly as I continue to stare over at her place. That is until I get inside the house to hear Shane telling the guys, "So he saved her, and now she wants to date him, and she is his daughter's hot teacher!"

"Yea! That's nice! Good for you, James! I'm happy you get a hot piece of ass." They exclaim as I groan at them. "I'm not in it for the ass I hope you know." I explain as they nod. "Yea, I know, but you deserve this man." Shane states as Austin yells across the room. "F*#k yea.. Hey James!" My eyebrows scrunch up as I walk across the room to him.

Austin is looking out the window as he elbows me. "Lucky you, man." I follow his line of sight, looking out the window and can see straight into Finley's backyard. She is stretched out halfway naked on the porch swing. The shirt that she is wearing only covers some of her upper body and down to her ass as the rest of her legs are exposed. We can see the bottom of her ass cheeks as she swings back and forth.

Finley is smoking, I think a joint as she reads a book looks absolutely serene. The way she sucks in the smoke and slightly tilts her head back and she blows the smoke out is probably one of the sexiest things I have seen in a while. The guys and I are staring out in a trance as I realize all my coworkers are checking out my lady.

"Ok, come on guys, stop staring." I say to them as they groan out loud, not liking that but respecting it.. But they do know now that I want her to be my lady, and I don't want my coworkers eye-f*#king my lady. Right as they start to move away from the window, I see that she finishes her joint , putting it out, then standing up. I watch her walking into the house as I hear, "You should probably go say good morning." From Shane as I turn around and the men are vigorously nodding their heads in unison.

"Yea, do it before she gets out of that shirt, too." Austin adds as I nod, walking out of the house pretty quickly to the truck. I take the flowers and chocolates into my hands, heading to her front door. I get nervous and stand there for a moment until I look at the next door house and seeing the guys giving me thumbs up, still nodding. I let out a deep breath as I lift my hand to knock.
