Oh my god was that Daniel Warren!? I jolted hearing a sharp shriek from behind me, I turned around to see one of our fellow teacher Miss Kelly jumping around.
"Yes. Yes he was but Miss Kelly, can you quiet down a little?" I was evidently annoyed by her excitement. I pointed out to her that her excitement had led to the corridor starting to fill up with both students and teachers whispering amongst themselves and looking around, I guess to find him.
Well you can say I tried to calm her down but word had already gotten around with a crowd of people running around towards the parking lot, I followed them quietly. Watching from a distance I saw a group of people huddled around with bodyguards holding them back. I saw Miss Daisy asking them to go back in and at the same time flustered every time she looked over at Daniel. Miss Daisy seemed to be apologising to Mr.Warren and he looked to be not to be faced by it, by the way he was waving his hand left to right it seemed as if he was asking Miss Daisy not to apologise. After a few seconds he got into his car along with his guards and drove away.
I admit St.Ivy was an elite school however, was he such a big shot?.
After school hours were over I stayed back a little to stalk...to research on my students' parents.
"So let's see who is this 'Daniel Warren' exactly" typing his name on my computer, I let the internet do its work. Within seconds I had every bit of information on him displayed on my screen. Scrolling through the sea of articles and websites I got a few details set right.
Daniel Warren, age 34, born on 12th of December in the year 1987.
"Oh well a Sagittarius"
Married to Lisa Marie Blanc from 2009 to 2019. (Divorced)
"Lisa Blanc, he was her husband?"

He's most famously known for his action filled movies and thrillers. Married to top model Lisa Marie Blanc Daniel Warren is a father to two lovely children; Rose and Zeus Warren.
"He has a son too" I wondered if he looked like him, I chuckled on the thought of a mini Mr.Warren.
I started scrolling through a few more articles.

Lisa Marie denies the rumours concerning the split after Daniel confirm them to be true.
Why did the hot topic couple call it quits on their 10 year long marriage.
I decided I had to stop. I couldn't read any further. It felt wrong.. I have to hear it from him. I looked at my watch, it was five already. Decided to leave I packed all my things, turned off my computer. I picked up the file that read Rose Warren, for a minute stared at it then left it on the table.
It was exactly seven when I arrived at the Warrens. The guards let me in after asking me for my name. I took the little Business card out again and read the address. According to the card this is supposed to be his office but what stood in front of me did not look like an office...it looked like a house. I was expecting it to be a building of some sorts. I couldn't understand why he would ever invite his colleagues home, wouldn't that be a disturbance to the family. Sighing, I walked towards the house.
Reaching the door I knocked. I held the little box of candies that I had brought for the kids tightly
'Should I have brought a bigger box?' I thought to myself.
A few seconds after I knocked a heard someone call out. 'A minute' Followed by another soft voice that I guessed belonged to a child 'She's here daddy'
I knocked again.
"Excuse me Mr.Warren" yelled a little as it was taking forever for them to open the door. Finally I heard the door open and swing open, I looked inside to see a little boy perhaps swinging holding the door knob, clearly he was too short to reach it.
"You must be.."
"Zeus" he said chuckling.
"That's right, Zeus" bending down at his level I ruffled his curly hair.
"Zeus I told you to wait until you opened the door" a heard a familiar voice coming from behind him. I looked up and almost broke my neck. I chocked on air when my eyes landed on Mr.Warren who was shirtless wearing an apron with a bowl and spatula in his hands. My eyes would not look away. He indeed was hot like the tabloids described him to be.
I cleared my throat and maybe then Mr.Warren realised that he was shirtless. Awkwardly blushing he asked me to come in. I nodded and stepped in. Zeus tagged along running behind his father who set his bowl on the open kitchen counter. I looked around the house, it definitely was beautiful but the interior wasn't at all like I expected it to be. It was unlike the rich, wealthy monotone houses decorated with expensive paintings. This house though a stranger felt welcoming, comfortable. It was wooden and sealed with a fireplace. There were books and toys neatly arranged on the shelves. Pictures of kids and their drawings were hung up on the wall. The lights were dim letting the orange of the fire illuminate the room, warming the house. This was definitely a house where a family lived.
I turned around to find Mr. Warren whom I didn't hear anything from all this time but the sight I saw was jaw dropping. Mr.Warren was putting on his T-shirt and as he slipped it on his muscles flexed.
'Anna you can't be gawking at your students' parents! Get on a grip!' I mentally scolded myself and slapped myself.
"Are you okay? Why did you slap yourself" he asked.
'Was it that loud'
"I was feeling a bit tired so was just trying to wake myself up" i couldn't make up a better lie and nor could I tell him 'excuse me sir I was simping on you hot figure like a pervert'
"I am sorry. You must be tried...please have a seat" he pointed at the high chair close to the kitchen counter.
Settling down I looked down at the little boy holding his fathers leg, clinging, hiding behind him and occasionally peeking to look at me.
Every time our eyes met he would give me a gummy smile and hide back again.
Mr.Warren noticed this and introduced him to me. "This is my son, Zeus," he said holding him up in his arms.
"I know. He introduced himself at the door" I said smiling.
"Oh he did?" He looked at his son and he nodded his head saying "yewss" his cute lite 'yes' made me chuckle. I looked over at the kitchen counter that looked like a mess, there were dirty plates everywhere, something on the plate looked burned. It looked as if he was trying to cook something but clearly he didn't find any success in it.
"Were you cooking?"
"Yes" he chuckled "more like was trying to cook"
"Trying?" I said as I stifled a laugh but quickly composed myself "So you don't cook?"
"No" walking inside the kitchen he began to pick the dirty plates kept on the counter.
"Then the food? What do you do about that?" I said getting off the chair and handing him a plate. He nodded a little 'thank you' and continued.
"The maid does it but it's her day off today"
"Then why were you trying to cook if you didn't know how to?"
"For you," he said, turning around. The persistence in his voice made me feel some kind of way.
"Fo-for me?" I said while pointing at myself in disbelief.
"Yes. You are our guest today so I thought..."
"Thank you" I said giving him the warmest smile "However, you didn't have to go through all this trouble"
"I was just trying to be a good host" he said, proceeding to clean the mess up.
"Where's Rose?" I asked as I hadn't seen her from the time I got here.
"Oh well she's in her room, she doesn't really come out as much. I did tell her that we'd have company" he said with the same expression he had on when we chatted early this morning. "Zeus, little man, can you go call your sissy down?, tell her we have guests" Zeus nodded a quick yes and ran upstairs to call his sister. I looked at Mr.Warren who seemed to be lost in some kind of thought.
"So I assume she doesn't know that I was over and this supposed guest is none other than her teacher?" I said leaning against the kitchen counter waiting for him to respond.
"No," he said fumbling with his watch again. "I just didn't want to make her feel as if something is wrong with her, I know she's going through somethings and I want to help her without making her feel uncomfortable"
What happened to this family? Why was he so devastated that he was walking on eggshells around his own daughter.
