As Anna made her way through campus she could feel the eyes on her but there was nothing that she could do about it.
The only good thing was that she knew the lecture hall she was going to so she didn't have to ask anyone for directions.
She wanted to know what the people who kept looking at her were thinking about. She could guess what most of the girls were thinking about.
Everyone knew who she was married to so it was obvious to assume that she was with him for money.
Sometimes she wished that all she ever wanted was money though. She wanted love and money. She wanted someone to talk to, someone who would listen to everything she wanted to say even if they didn't understand half of it.
That wasn't what the people were talking about though. Everyone was wondering why she had someone following her.
Raul looked like a scary dog behind her as he carried a bag that contained her food. It's not what she had wanted though.
She had suggested that he waited in the parking lot until her class was over. He had seen how uncomfortable she had been the first day.
He knew the people were going to say mean things to her and all he wanted to do was protect her. That was the job he had signed up for. To drive and protect her.
Anna turned to look at him and he offered her a sweet lt smile telling her that everything was okay.
As Anna entered her lecture hall it wasn't surprising that she was one amount the only two people in the room and neither were all
She had come thirty minutes early mostly because she was excited about her first day.
She went all the way to the front and took a seat Raul sat next to her and he handed her food.
They did not have time to stop and eat so she opted for takeaway.
As she opened the food from their packages she knew they had to talk about something. She had never had a real conversation with him it was always pleasantries.
She was more interested in if he had furthered his education but she didn't know how to ask him without it being rude.
"What do you wanna ask ?", he asked her.
"How did you know I want to ask you something ?", Anna turned to ask him.
"Well you look like something is eating you up and you keep opening your mouth and closing it ", Raul said as he glanced at his watch.
"Well I don't know how you will take the question I don't want to offend you ", Anna said looking sympathetic before even asking the question.
"Just ask the question I will tell you if it's offensive ", Raul said as he chuckled at her bluntness.
"Okay did you like ever want to study something else ?", she asked him, and the cool demeanor he had assured her that she had not asked something that would offend him.
"Well, not really I have always been good with cars. My father has had a repair shop since I was little I was always around him so I developed a good eye for them ", Raul said as he turned to look at her to see if she was satisfied with his answer but she still looked confused so he waited for her next question.
"Well you're not fixing a car here don't you miss it ?", she asked him.
"Well not I go to my father's shop every evening and help him out and your husband pays me good money and I need it so I don't mind if I don't fix up cars the whole day ", Raul said and this time round Anna was satisfied with his answer.
"Do the other workers hate me ?", she asked him and he was taken aback by her question but before he could answer someone called Anna and they both turned to see who it was.
"Maggie ?", Anna said as she looked at Maggie.
"I didn't know there was another woman who was joining us they told me I was the only one ", Maggie said as she walked over to where Anna was seated.
"Hi ", she said with a smile as she greeted Raul.
"I just joined the other day ", Anna said as she smiled at seeing a familiar face. At least it wasn't all going to be hell.
"I'll leave you girls to it I'll just be outside once you're done ", Raul said as he stood up and left them.
"Okeeyy ", Anna said as she shared her food with Maggie.
"Who's that ?", she asked immediately Raul was far away from earshot but he still heard her and a smile crept up his lips.
"His name is Raul, he works for us. Do you fancy him ?", Anna asked Maggie.
She knew Raul looked good she wasn't going to deny that.
"He looks really good, does he have someone ?", Maggie asked as he took a bite of the fries Anna was having.
"I don't know but I will ask him ", Anna said as she chuckled.
"Am so glad there is someone here who knows me I was going to lose my mind if I kept walking this corridor all alone with the stares I got ", Anna said as she threw her head back dramatically.
"Don't tell me people already know you're married to Vincenzo ?", Maggie said laughing.
"Well they have and now I can never even make friends cause am sure people will just be judging me and think am bitchy or something like that ", Anna said as she sighed in disappointment.
"I think you're amazing, you're not bitch at all and if you are the who person deserved it ", Maggie said shrugging her shoulders and they both laughed in unison.
Her mind drifted back to that morning and she could see Briana's face clearly and the shock on it every time she said something. She had even shocked herself by everything she had said to Briana but she couldn't deny it, Briana had it coming.
"Yeah they deserve it", she said chuckling.
