So I noticed no one has done a Loving Annabelle, Bloomington crossover so I decided to do one.I don't own anything just for fun
Chapter 1
Annabelle stood in Simone's room looking at the pictures of herself that Simone had on her desk, tears flowing down her face, she pulled out her phone she quickly pressed the call button. "mom it's me"
"Anna what's wrong" she had never called her mother crying before.
"I, ah, something happened and I need your help"
"what did you do now?" her mother said in a disappointing tone
"I, um" she paused "I fell in love, with my English teacher, we fell in love with each other and when Immaculata found out she had her taken away"
"Annabelle" her mother said sighing
"mom, I turn 18 in 4 days"
"I know" her mother breathed out "I'll see what I can do, what is her name"
"Simone Bradley"
"I'll take care of it" her mother said hanging up. The last thing she wanted was for this to get out and for her to have another Annabelle scandal on her hands.
As she looked out over the church she was wishing and hoping she would see Simone, biting down her disappoint as she didn't see the blonde haired blue eyed, former teacher, she walked up and received her diploma. They had plans to meet right after for dinner with her mother. Her mother, had managed to get all the charges against Simone dropped. Annabelle had told her exactly what happened, and since Annabelle turned 18 a few days after her mother let any charges be dropped. Simone however lost her job, which she didn't mind in the least, she felt trapped at the school which she had been at since she was 13. As the graduation ceremony came to a close Annabelle found herself almost running to get her stuff and get out of there. Excited to see Simone.
"Anna, dear" her mother called out after her
"mom I'll be right back I'm going to get my stuff then we can get out of here"
"ok" her mother said as she watched her only daughter run off. She knew she was excited to see Simone, they hadn't seen each other since the cops took her away, that fateful day a few weeks before.
As the limo rounded the corner Annabelle saw Simone's car. "mom why didn't she come?"
"she wanted to, but thought better about it. She didn't want to give her aunt a heart attack" her mother said not looking up from the paper she had in her hand.
"hmm" Annabelle said as the limo pulled to a stop outside the restaurant and she jumped out seeing Simone standing by the building. Almost knocking her over as Annabelle flew into her. "I missed you"
"I missed you too" Simone said pulling back to look in those blue eyes she fell for months ago. The urge was too much as Annabelle leaned in placing a soft kiss on Simone's lips.
"alright break it up, you have all the time in the world to do that" senator Tillman said as she walked by the couple.
"she's right" Simone said brushing a falling hair off Annabelle's head and smiling.
"mom, I want to go to college" Annabelle said over dinner
"good" her mother said with a smile. Happy that she had this second chance with her daughter.
"where?" Simone asked as she took a drink of her wine.
"I've been doing a lot of research, and what I want to study is psychology. Now there's a school in Indiana that has an amazing psychology class. There's also this professor who is supposed to be amazing"
"oh" Simone asked not entirely thrilled with the idea of moving to Indiana, but she would go wherever Annabelle wanted, and would make the best of it just so long as they were together.
"that's great honey, I'm happy you want to go"
"I've looked into it, I sent in my application last week, I hope I hear back soon"
"I'm sure you'll get in, unless you slacked off the last 2 weeks of school your grades were amazing"
"helps having a teacher who was nice to look at"
"what?" Simone asked almost choking on her wine.
"nothing" Annabelle said smirking
"what would you need from me?" the senator asked
"nothing, just my inheritance" Annabelle said with a smile.
"we'll head to the bank on Monday"
"tomorrow?" Annabelle said
"quit being a smart ass" her mother said looking at Simone "you sure you can handle this?"
"I'm sure" Simone said smiling at Annabelle "I love her" Annabelle just smiled that smile that made Simone weak in the knees.
A few weeks later after Annabelle got her acceptance she was in the bedroom packing when Simone came in "hey what town did you say we are going to again?" Simone asked still not too excited to go but it was what Annabelle wanted
"Bloomington" Annabelle responded not taking her eyes off the suitcase she was packing "why"
"I just remembered I have an old college friend who's from there" Simone said with a smile, then thinking 'this might not be as bad as I thought'
"awesome you should give her a call" Annabelle said finally getting the suitcase zipped and tossed it on the floor.
"I should" Simone said walking over to Annabelle wrapping her in her arms. "I love you"
"I love you too" Annabelle smiled
Stepping off the plane there was a car waiting for her, with a man standing outside holding a sign that read Jackie Kirk. Jackie smiled at the man and said, "I'm Jackie"
"hi Miss Kirk, I'm Samuel I'll be your driver" Jackie gave him a warm smile as he opened the door for her, then put the rest of her luggage in trunk. "you're from LA?"
"yes sir" Jackie said with a smile
"it's busy there"
"yes, it is, I'm happy to be away from that"
"I had heard another couple were coming in form LA, headed to the same town as you. I believe one of them is attending classes at the college"
"that's cool" Jackie said as she stared out the window. The drive took a few hours, Jackie didn't mind, it was nice being out of the hustle and bustle that was LA. As the car pulled up outside the college Jackie was getting excited but nervous, she'd never been completely on her own before.
"is there anything else mam?" the man asked
"no thank you" she said reaching into her pocket to tip him.
"thank you, and good luck" he smiled at her Jackie gave him a warm smile as she grabbed her bags and headed inside.
Jackie was sitting in the dean's office going over her schedule when she first saw her, she walked in all blonde and sexy, Jackie couldn't keep her eyes off her.
Catherine had to run into the dean's office to drop off her course syllabus when she saw Jackie sitting in the chair in front of the desk, her first thought was how sexy she looked. Catherine just smiled her sexy smile gave the dean her syllabus and left, once the door was closed she leaned her head against it. She hadn't expected to meet someone so soon. Taking a deep breath, she pushed herself off the wall and made her way back to her office. Checking her email, she noticed a name she hadn't saw in a long while Simone Bradley "hmm wonder what she wants" she said out loud as she clicked on Simone's name.
Hi Catherine,
I know it's been awhile since we've heard from each other, I hope all is well. I'm headed to Bloomington. If you're interested in meeting up please give me a call. I would really love to catch up.
Simone
Catherine sat there for a minute. Could it be the same Simone she saw on the news? She heard all the charges were dropped. Shaking her head with a smile at seeing her old friend again she hit the reply button and typed
Simone,
Yes, it has been forever. I would love to get together. Give me a call, when you get to town. 650-656-5555 it seems you have forgotten to leave your number… somethings never change. I look forward to hearing from you
Catherine
As she clicked send she sat back in her chair and smiled. It'd be nice to catch up with an old friend. Her and Simone had gotten close while they were in college. She sat and let the memories come back.
Simone was in the house they had rented for the deration of Annabelle being in college. Going through a box of Annabelle's she pulled out a picture of Annabelle with Collins and Kristen. She smiled, as she sat down on the couch, with the picture in her hand. Though she loved Annabelle she wondered how her life got so fucked up. No, she wouldn't change it for the world. Annabelle meant everything to her, and to finally be out of that school, she felt free. Looking down at the picture she smiled seeing the smiling faces, she got up and put the picture on the mantle. She decided to take a break and headed outside with her laptop. Checking her email, she saw Catherine had replied. Reading through the email she pulled out her phone and put Catherine's number in.
"it's so quiet here compared to LA" Annabelle said to a random student she was standing next to, waiting for the class before them to get done so they could go in.
"yeah it is" Jackie said with a smile
"you been there?" Annabelle asked with a smile.
"I'm from there" Jackie said making eye contact with Annabelle. "wait I know you, you're senator Tillman's daughter"
"Annabelle" Annabelle said reaching out her hand, rolling her eyes she hated how people knew who she was because of her mother.
"I'm Jackie" Jackie said with a smile.
"hey, you were on Neptune 26, I loved that show used to watch it every night" Annabelle said with a smile.
"that's me"
"awesome" Annabelle said smiling as the door flung open. And they stepped in. Since they didn't know anyone else they stayed close.
"so, is it true, you and a teacher?" Jackie asked.
"yeah" Annabelle said as she smiled. "she's actually here with me"
"really?" Jackie said surprised
"you know the charges were dropped" Annabelle said looking at her. "I turned 18 two days later" she added with her smirk.
"well I would love to meet her"
"we'll set something up for dinner. Maybe Friday?" Annabelle said knowing Simone didn't have a job, and wasn't planning on getting one. "we have a house off campus"
"here let me give you my number" Jackie said as Annabelle opened her notebook Jackie rattled off her phone number
"I'll talk to Simone and see what works best" Annabelle said smiling "I'll call or text you later"
"sounds good" Jackie liked the idea that she had already made a friend, someone from her world that knew what it was like to be in the spot light.
"I have to go, she's at home waiting for me" Annabelle said with a smile, she loved being able to say that "I'll fill you in on the rest of our story tomorrow if you want to meet me for coffee, let's say 9? My first class isn't until 10"
"sounds good I'll see you then"
"bye" Annabelle said as she rushed off.
"bye" Jackie said stopping in the hall way as she watched Annabelle walk away. Still in shock, she never expected to meet a friend so soon and to have it be Annabelle Tillman. Looking up she saw the blonde from the dean's office, who she learned was Professor Catherine Stark, known around campus for sleeping with her students, she had a big pile of books and was trying to reach for her keys. "here let me help" Jackie said as she grabbed a couple books off the top.
"thanks" Catherine said, "it's funny how these people can afford tuition but not manners"
"so, I've noticed" Jackie said looking around the office.
"Simone" Annabelle called as she shut the front door. Not getting a reply she called again. Still no answer, Annabelle walked to the kitchen and through the glass of the patio door she saw Simone sitting outside. "hey" she said quietly as she stepped out.
"hi" Simone said with a smile "dinner is almost ready"
"I didn't see anything cooking"
"I know" Simone giggled "take out"
"you're an amazing cook" Annabelle said climbing in her lap. And placed a soft kiss on her lips.
"thanks" Simone smiled her shy smile, Annabelle remembered the first time she saw that smile in the library that day she had her pictures.
"I met someone today"
"oh" Simone said
"yup" Annabelle said snuggling closer "are we doing anything Friday night?"
"I had invited Catherine over for dinner, but other than that no"
"do you mind if Jackie comes too?"
"I don't mind at all" Simone said with a smile, happy they both had friends "Jackie?"
"yeah, she's actually from LA"
"Jackie" Simone said again
"Kirk" Annabelle said smiling. "she was on that Neptune show, I was addicted to it"
"I didn't watch too much tv, really couldn't being at Saint Theresa's"
"right" Annabelle said as they heard the doorbell ring. "I'll get it" she said getting up and placing a kiss on Simone's cheek.
As Annabelle walked through the door to their house on Friday, with Jackie in tow, she saw Catherine sitting on the chair, a glass of wine in her hand.
"hi" she said softly Simone always looked amazing when she was relaxing, it made Annabelle's heart melt that she chose her
"Catherine, this is Annabelle" Simone said as a smile crept across her face.
"Annabelle it's so great to meet you" Catherine said standing up to hold out her hand
"you too" Annabelle said smiling. "Simone, this is Jackie"
"Jackie Kirk" Catherine said smiling. "I believe we've met before"
"I believe so" Jackie said shyly as her eyes wondered up and down Catherine
"Jackie, can I get you a drink?" Simone asked standing up
"sure" Jackie replied sitting down on the other chair that was across from Catherine as Annabelle plopped down on the couch next to where Simone was sitting
"so Simone, you were Annabelle's teacher at that all girls catholic school?" Catherine asked
Looking at Annabelle with a giggle "yes"
"wow" Catherine said impressed she never pegged Simone as being the type to do something like that
"it's a long story I'll get into more detail a different time" Simone said looking at Annabelle "right now all you need to know is I fell head over heels in love" she leaned down and placed a soft kiss on Annabelle's cheek then took her hand.
"hey what happened to Amanda? You two were hot and heavy through college" Catherine asked taking a drink she didn't notice the color change in Simone's face as Annabelle squeezed her hand.
"she um" Simone cleared her throat
"she passed away" Annabelle said coming to Simone's rescue
"my apologies" Catherine said looking up at Jackie "so Jackie" she could feel her eyes on her. They fell into simple conversation, Jackie and Catherine asked questions, as Simone and Annabelle answered. The evening flew by. "wow I guess I better get going" Catherine said looking at the clock"
"wow" Jackie said looking at the same clock "Annabelle I have to get going. Simone, it was so good to meet you. We have to do this again"
"we will" Annabelle said with a smile as her and Simone stood to walk their dinner guests to the door.
After the door was shut Catherine turned to Jackie "so"
"so?" Jackie made it sound like a question
"do you want a ride?"
"sure" Jackie said after some hesitation
"I'm over here" Catherine said pointing to her Porsche, she unlocked it and opened the door for Jackie. Jackie gave her, her shy smile and sat down. Catherine walked around the car and climbed in the driver's side, and looked at Jackie. "so, you're famous"
"so are you from what I've heard"
"what have you heard?"
"oh, just stuff from people"
"stuff from people" Catherine said with a smile
"yup"
"what are they saying"
"that I should stay away from you" Jackie giggled
"well" Catherine said moving closer "maybe you should listen to them" as Jackie turned her head, Catherine moved closer and placed a soft kiss on her lips "are you ok" she asked seeing the look on Jackie's face.
"yes" Jackie managed to squeak out
"do you want to come back to my place?"
"no" Jackie said rather abruptly as she sat forward in her seat
"ok" Catherine said starting the car
"wait" Jackie said reaching for Catherine's hand. The next thing they knew they were pulling up in front of Catherine's house.
"Simone" Annabelle said stopped in front of the window noticing Catherine's car was still outside
"what is it?" Simone asked as Annabelle nodded to the window "hmm" a half hour had passed since they said their goodbyes. As Simone looked closer she saw two heads in the car.
"guess the rumors are true" Annabelle said with a giggle
"what rumors" Simone asked curiously
"that professor Stark likes to sleep with her students" she said still giggling
"who are we to judge" Simone said wrapping her arms around Annabelle
"I'm not, I just find it funny given our situation" Annabelle said giving Simone a kiss, as Simone pulled her away from the window and into the bedroom.
