Opposites Attract

Chapter 15

He smirks at her before she runs to his room, him following right after her.

Florence is mad.

No, not mad, seething, enraged, fuming

She didn't know what word described it.

She stormed her way to the door to Derek's loft.

Not even taking the time to knock, she throws it open and storms in.

Derek looks over at the sound of someone entering, and immediately is terrified, not that he would ever admit that.

"You! You asshole! I thought you were dead! I spent all day yesterday a mess! All I kept thinking was about how the last thing I did was fight with you! And you were alive? The whole time! Not a text or a phone call! I had to hear it from Cora! And that's not it! You spent the time sleeping with Jennifer Blake! I am beyond angry with you!" Florence exclaims.

Derek doesn't respond, instead he has a guilty look on his face.

"I don't want to see you! Or even speak to you! God Derek, you didn't think to tell anyone? Scott almost died because he blamed himself!"

Derek stayed silent, which bothered Florence even more.

She could keep going, she has so much more to say, but she decides that she's said enough.

Florence stares at her nephew for another moment before walking out of his loft, shutting the door behind her.

Opening the passenger door to the car, she gets in.

"How did that feel?" Chris asks from the drivers seat

She lets out a sigh of relief. "So good."

She smiles at him and leans over, kissing him on the lips.

She feels like a teenager. She's kissing her... something... in the car. Her heart beating fast and her blood pumping.

Chris smiles as they break apart.

"Okay! I need to get to work. Drive me?" She asks giving him the puppy dog eyes.

Chris laughs and drives away from the building and toward the high school.

Since the bus ride back to Beacon Hills didn't take too long, the students went about their normal school day, starting from 3rd period.

Allison walked into Florence's classroom, and saw how her teacher seemed to be a good mood.

She turns to Lydia in her seat. "Do you notice anything different with Ms. Hale?"

Lydia looks at her teachers for a moment, taking in her smile and general mood.

"She got laid"

Allison pauses. She remembers her phone call with her dad the night before and how he said Florence would be staying with them.

Lydia noticed her friend lost in thought. "Hello? Earth to Allison? What are you thinking about?"

"When I spoke to my dad last night, to let him know about us staying at a motel, he told me that Ms. Hale was going to be staying with us for a few days"

Lydia opens her mouth in shock. "So your father and Ms. Hale-"

Allison nods cutting her off. Both girls laugh quietly with each other.

Florence sat at her desk at the end of the school day, cleaning up. Chris would be there in the next few minutes to pick her and Allison up.

The door to her classroom opens. She looks up and sees Chris entering.
