It was almost six in the evening when I was finally able to leave for the day. I had just gotten to my car and was about to back out of my spot when a motorcycle pulled right behind me, blocking me in. I rolled down my window and watched as the rider cut the engine off and removed their helmet. I shook my head as Bernard jumped off the bike and smiled at me.

"What are you doing? Are you crazy? I could have run right over you, fool!"

"Your car wasn't even in gear yet. I made sure I didn't see your reverse lights," he said.

"What do you want?" I asked him.

"Two things, actually. One, I wanna thank you for dealing with my nephew and the cell phone craziness. I'm really gonna work on him. What you said this morning made a lot of sense and I need to be a better example."

"Good," I nodded, "I'm glad to hear that. And?"

"And I'm going to make sure he doesn't get his phone back anytime soon and when he does get it back, I will definitely be making sure he's not sending or receiving anything inappropriate," Bernard said, matter-of-factly.

"Okay, and?"

He stood beside my car, as if he was trying to think of what he was supposed to say, "And what?"

"Bernard, you said there were two things you wanted. You told me one, now what's the other?" I sighed.

"Oh, I left without getting your number this morning," he said it so sexy that I almost asked him to repeat it so I could hear it again. Then I remembered that I wasn't in eighth grade, and he wasn't asking me to copy my science homework. This was far beyond that.

"I don't think so," I told him.

"Why not?" He seemed surprised that I was telling him no.

"It's not a good idea," I shook my head. "You don't need my number. If you need to reach me, you know where I work. And you only need to reach me regarding school related issues."

"Danni, you gon' be like that? I can't call you?"

"Call me for what, Bernard?"

"You know what I'd be calling you for. We go way back, and I would like to take you out...go to dinner, see a movie, catch up on what's been going on. We're old friends, aren't we?" He shrugged.

"You're right, Bernard, we are. But, I'm the principal, and I don't date my students parents. It's not a good idea," I started to roll the window up, and he stuck his hand in, causing me to stop.

"I'm not a parent of one of your students, I'm an uncle," he said, "His mom will be back in a couple of weeks. So, sounds like a good idea to me."

"Whatever, that still makes you a guardian. And what about your daughter? You know what? It doesn't even matter; we don't even need to discuss this anymore. I've had a long day and I really just wanna go home," I told him.
