Taking Charge (9 page)

Tanya smiled.
“Soooooo.” Tanya checked out of the door.
“Spaghetti Bolognese?” Jordan roared with laughter and nodded. They
both looked up. Dalton grinned.
“Guess you heard the news. The Principal is none other than that
young lady that was here.” Jordan nodded.
“Yes. The news has hit town.” Dalton smiled.
“This town needs to be shaken up. I think I like it. You should
hear the buzz through town. Do you know the parents can go to the
assembly on a Monday morning? I bet you there are going to be a lot
of parents there.” Jordan chuckled.
“They can attend?” Dalton nodded.
“And they are going to have Prefects. Prefects Jordan!” Jordan
chuckled.
“Serious?” Anne walked through.
“Isn’t it amazing!” Jordan smiled.
“Hello Anne.” Anne grinned.
“Hey Jordan. Isn’t it amazing! Lock out at seven forty five. Oh we
are going to go and check that out!” Tanya roared with laughter.
Tanya held her face in her hands.
“You should have heard her whistle!” They all roared with laughter.
Jordan shook his head.
“Sure as heck she is not subtle.” They all chuckled. Anne
smiled.
“This has brought everyone out of their hidey holes. Everyone is
chatting. It is nice. Good news is good. And it isn’t gossip. It is
all fact.” Dalton grinned.
“Oh I believe she dresses in a suit with heels.” Tanya
nodded.
“Very smart!” Dalton chuckled.
“See you later. We might pop over later for a bite.” Jordan smiled
and nodded.

Tanya smiled.
“The news is all good. Very good.” Jordan nodded and smiled and
looked at his watch.
“Going upstairs?” Tanya nodded. He handed her the champagne
bottle.
“Fridge. See you in ten minutes.” Tanya smiled and nodded. He took
the bottle back.
“I will bring it upstairs.” Tanya smiled and nodded.

She ran up the stairs. Joy smiled.
“I am sorry I couldn’t tell you. I wanted it to be a surprise.”
Tanya grinned.
“Oh wow. When you whistled and I turned and saw you. I stared. I
was flabbergasted.” Joy smiled and nodded.
“Oh I heard the sudden silence. Wow was that an eerie silence!”
Tanya roared with laughter.
“My heart was in my throat.” Tanya giggled and shook her
head.
“Lots of changes coming?” Joy nodded.
“Better for the teachers. First off. You need to be respected. You
have degrees. People need to start looking up to you.” Tanya smiled
and nodded.
“How are you going to afford those sneakers?” Joy smiled.
“I haven’t a clue!” Tanya roared with laughter.

Tanya shook her head. Jordan ran up the
stairs with the bottle of champagne.
“Sweetheart I put the chain and padlock in your boot.” Tanya smiled
as she watched Jordan kiss Joy. Joy smiled.
“Thanks. Are you ready for supper?” Jordan smiled and nodded. Tanya
smiled as Joy dished up. She put the little bowl out with the
cheese. Jordan smiled.
“Parmesan!” Joy smiled.
“Yes Sir!” Jordan smiled. He knew she had been shopping. Jordan had
noticed the full fridge. They all sat and ate. Tanya sighed.
“This is so nice. Last night the Salmon salad. Tonight Spaghetti
Bolognese.” Joy chuckled.
“Well we are busy people. Busy people need to eat properly.” Joy
gasped.
“Sorry. I didn’t mean.” Tanya and Jordan roared with laughter. He
took her hand in his.
“No you are right. And this is perfect. Yes we need meals like
this. And pasta is not fattening. But it sure is tasty!” Tanya
giggled and nodded.
“I guess you are going to be swamped this week.” Joy nodded.
“A lot to do by Monday.”
“I thought as much!” Joy chuckled and nodded.

Jordan stood up.
“We have a little something for you.” Joy smiled as he gave her the
bottle of champagne.
“Oh Jordan.” She put her arms out and put her arms around his neck.
Joy smiled.
“Thank you.” She kissed Jordan and smiled. She sat down
again.
“Oh we have to have a little glass. Just a little glass.” Tanya
smiled as they all had a glass of champagne. Jordan held his glass
up.
“To the Principal and her success!” Joy smiled. She held up her
glass.
“To every single child. Because we are all children. And life is
there to be enjoyed. And enjoy it we will!” Tanya grinned.
“To life!” They all raised their glasses and drank their champagne.
Jordan poured another glass for each. Joy smiled.
“Oh while I remember. Can you get each teacher’s shoe size? Don’t
let me forget. I need to order a few pairs of sneakers so that the
kids can see them. Oh I mustn’t forget.” Tanya giggled.
“I will do that first thing in the morning.” Joy smiled.
“Thanks.” Jordan smiled.
“Sneakers?” “Carrots. Dangling little carrots. Everyone will want a
pair of those. Oh those grades are going to soar!” They all
chuckled. Tanya got up.
“See you tomorrow.” Joy hugged her.
“See you tomorrow.” Tanya smiled as she left for home.

Tanya walked in
to the lounge and smiled. Zeba smiled.
“Now young lady. What is going on with Jordan?” Tanya shook her
head.
“Why?”
“Because he is happy. He has always been happy but he is a
different kind of happy. Kind of like he has met a woman.” Tanya
smiled.
“Really? Has he?” Zeba looked at Tanya.
“Where were you for supper?” Tanya smiled.
“I was at the pub.”
“And did you have supper?” Tanya nodded.
“All nice and full thanks.” Tanya giggled.
“What makes you think he has met a woman?” Zeba shook her
head.
“Your Dad and I think there is something going on. He is himself.
But he really is happier. And whoever she is.” Lloyd smiled.
“Whoever she is she did something to him. Because he is different.”
Tanya smiled.
“And I like my sons happy.” Tanya giggled. Zeba looked at
Tanya.
“You had champagne. Or something.” Tanya smiled.
“A tiny bit of champagne.” Tanya smiled and hugged Zeba. Zeba
chuckled.
“What a lovely day you had.” Tanya smiled.
“I have a feeling there is a lot more in store.” Zeba smiled.
“She is the right person for the job.” Tanya nodded and
sighed.
“She is. In more ways than one. She is.”

Jordan smiled as he held Joy’s hand.
“You are so special.” Joy smiled. She got up from their little
table. She hugged Jordan and stood behind him. She kissed his neck
and moved to his ear. He turned around. He took Joy in to his
arms.
“You didn’t have too much champagne did you?” Joy whispered.
“No.” He pulled her into his arms and started to kiss Joy. He moved
her to against the counter and pulled her up close.
“Joy.” Joy nodded as she looked at Jordan.
“You are driving me crazy. I know it is too soon. But I want to
make love to you. You are driving every part of my body crazy. I
can’t focus.” Joy smiled and pulled Jordan closer and kissed
him.
“Jordan. Tonight. I don’t want to be sleeping alone. I haven’t ever
done anything like this. But I want to. I don’t want you to think I
sleep around. I don’t want you to think that.” Jordan nodded and
looked at Joy. She looked at him with huge eyes and
whispered.
“I am a. Uhm. I haven’t ever.” Jordan kissed Joy.
“I haven’t either. Never. Not with anyone. You would be my first.”
Joy smiled and looked at Jordan. He lifted her up and carried her
to the bedroom. He slowly undid her jeans button and her zip and
eased her jeans down. She kicked her boots off and undid Jordan’s
button and fly and eased his jeans down. He lifted her and lay her
on the bed. They kissed and held each other. Their hands exploring
one another.
“I want you Joy.” He slowly removed her brooks. Joy slipped his
underpants down. They took their underwear off.

Jordan looked at Joy.
“Are you sure about this?” Joy nodded. He slowly lay over
Joy.
“Don’t let me hurt you.” Joy nodded. He slowly worked his erection
inside Joy’s body. Jordan held on to her and enjoyed the feeling of
being inside her body. Joy felt as her eyes closed. She smiled and
opened her eyes and looked up at Jordan. They both whispered as
they spoke.
“Jordan I.” He put his finger over her lips.
“I know Joy. I love you.” Joy smiled.
“I love you.” Jordan smiled and slowly started to move. Joy
clutched on to him. He felt her starting to shake as she climaxed.
Jordan moved faster and faster. Joy started moving to the rhythm.
He thrust into Joy and she let out a low guttural groan. He moved
faster and faster and pushed against Joy as he ejaculated. He
looked down and Joy looked up. She pulled him down and kissed
him.
“I love you Jordan.” He smiled and kissed Joy.
“I love you Joy.” He slowly moved out of Joy. Joy smiled. Jordan
hugged Joy.
“Joy next time we are in this bed. We are naked!” Joy
giggled.
“Please don’t get that morning after thing and regret this.” Jordan
smiled.
“Oh sweetheart. I loved every moment. You have taken me and turned
me in to a man!” Joy smiled.
“All woman.” Jordan smiled.
“You were always a beautiful woman.” Joy smiled.
“But now I really am a woman. And you did that.” Jordan smiled and
kissed Joy.
“I am honored.” Joy smiled.
“So am I.” Jordan smiled.
“I have to leave you.” Joy smiled.
“I will be here when you get back.”
“I might be very late.” Joy smiled.
“But you will be back.” Jordan smiled.
“I will.”

Jordan got dressed and smiled.
“Later.” He leaned over and kissed Joy. Joy smiled.
“Hair.” He walked to the bathroom and brushed his hair and smiled.
He walked out of the bathroom and kissed Joy and walked out. He
walked in to the pub and smiled. He felt on top of the
world.

He walked over
to Thomas, Wayne and Paul who were sitting at one
of the tables.
“And how are you three doing?” Paul smiled.
“I for one have egg on my face. I sort of gave the Principal a hard
time. And I kind of came on to her. So I think tonight might be a
good night to drown my sorrows.” Jordan chuckled. Paul shook his
head.
“I didn’t know who she was. Until she gave us the order to be at
that assembly. I feel so bad.” Jordan smiled.
“Did she say anything?” Paul shook his head.
“If she had yelled I think I would have felt better.” Jordan
smiled.
“I would forget all about it. Move on.” Paul smiled.
“We were all put in our places. The three of us. And Penny. Poor
woman.” Jordan chuckled.
“Forget about it. Move on. If she wanted to she would have said
something.” Paul nodded.
“Yeah. I guess you are right.” Jordan nodded and walked off. He
walked to Frank.

“
What is news?”
“News is this place is thumping. And it might be a late
night.”
“Want me to take over?” Frank smiled and shook his head.
“Boss you might like to tuck your shirt tails in.” Jordan smiled
and tucked his shirt in.
“Uhm. Yeah.” Frank smiled. They both looked up as Penny walked
in.
“Evening.” They both nodded. Jordan pointed at Thomas’s table.
Penny smiled and walked over and took a seat next to Thomas.
“Made it.” They all chuckled and nodded.

Jordan smiled. It was the first time that
he had seen the four teachers together. The men sometimes came in.
But not the four of them. He listened as they
star
ted chatting. The
assembly was the topic of discussion. Jordan smiled to himself. The
pub was filling up.
“Boss it is one of those nights.” Jordan nodded. He walked over to
the stage and picked up his guitar. Joy lay in bed and heard Jordan
starting to sing. She flew out of bed and got dressed. She put on
her wig and added a lot more make up. She quickly put her boots on
and ran down the stairs. She ran out the back door. She made her
way around the building in the dark and walked through the front
door and smiled. Craig grinned. Joy walked over to the stage and
picked up another guitar. Jordan smiled.
“I don’t believe what I am seeing.”
“Thought you might need back up.”

Frank was on the phone in seconds. Chase,
Clyde and Roger arrived. They took their seats behind their
instruments. Joy smiled.
“Styx. Mister Roboto. Hit it with the synth Roger.” Roger grinned.
They all adjusted their instruments. Jordan grinned. Joy started
singing. Chase smiled as he started to play the drums. Jordan
grinned. His guitar sounded a lot different. He grinned as he
looked at Joy. She was dancing up and down. Even her voice sounded
different. He listened as she sang.

Tanya ran through to the lounge.
“We have to go to the pub! That lady is back!” Everyone hopped in
to the van and headed for the pub. They walked through and stared.
Zeba grinned.
“Out of this world!” Tanya nodded.

They finished their song and Joy
smiled.
“Sam Cooke. Chain Gang. Stick with me.” Jordan smiled as they all
sang the lyrics. Joy took over and sang the lyrics. She looked at
Jordan with huge eyes. He grinned and joined in. Soon everyone was
singing. Lloyd took Zeba’s hand and they started dancing. Jordan
grinned as he watched. He stood and played the guitar and sang
along. Joy smiled. Everyone joined in and sang.

Joy smiled.
“Proclaimers. I’m Gonna Be. Hit it Dean. Need you loud!” Dean stood
up with his guitar and walked to the front and joined Joy and
Jordan. Jordan grinned and Dean winked. The pub got louder and
louder. Everyone was up singing and dancing. Jordan smiled as he
looked at Joy. She smiled. Tanya danced with Thomas and then Wayne.
Everyone was up dancing.

Joy smiled as the song came to an
end.
“Johnny Cash. Ring of fire!” Dean roared with laughter. Joy
grinned. Jordan tapped his foot as he started singing. Joy was
playing her guitar. He sang all the lyrics and they quietly did the
backing. Everyone sang along. People danced as they sang. Jordan
smiled as he sang. He looked over at the band and they had the
biggest smiles he had ever seen. He smiled and looked at Joy. She
played the guitar as she danced.

Joy smiled as the song came to an
end.
“Santana. Well All right.” Jordan smiled as he played. Chase hit
the drums. Jordan sang the lyrics and listened as they all joined
in at the crucial moments. He smiled and looked at Joy. She winked
and nodded. Tanya looked at Jordan and he smiled. Jordan played the
guitar and closed his eyes. He smiled to himself. He loved the
music. He looked up at Joy and smiled. She smiled and nodded. He
heard the band backing him up. He grinned as he played solo. There
were suddenly drums and Chase grinned. It was amazing. Jordan
smiled.
