As the holiday came and left it was time for our departure. Sure enough I thought I'd just catch a ride back with Cherry but Faye said it would be fine. I was busy putting some of the containers of food Mrs. C insisted on making Faye take with her and I was happy to see the woman being embraced by them. A few of Cherry’s cousins even did so before they left.

“Aren’t you proud of me not saying anything the whole week?,” I stood straight looking to my left to find her in a wonder woman pose smiling triumphantly, “

“You want a cookie or something?,” She rolled her eyes, coming to hug me and I happily returned it.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwY9S1hU6S

“She’s nice or whatever but imma still has my guard up for any shady activity. That is once you tell me the whole episode I missed on the still mysterious professor. But you're still coming to work tomorrow right?”216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXY8fwtEaT

“What!,” She left me bewildered but I didn't get the chance to chase after her with my sole driver walking past her. I don’t know what she said to Faye but it caused her laugh to stir up and I just continued to put the last few items in the trunk. I knew it was only a matter of time that I'd have to face them. But in this case I'm just glad it’s not face to face. And I've been putting it off far too long.

I wave to the Millers one last time, seeing them head back inside with Cherry. And just as I was about to look for Faye, who should be here anyway, I jumped when hands surrounded me from the back. She immediately stepped back but I turned around and reassured her with my smile, “Sorry but you were lost in the clouds. I even called you. And thank you again for helping with my things.”216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunBFRojuQt

“Just because you wake up with your hair naturally gorgeous does not mean it happens for everyone,” It was hard trying to fight against her not only because I've spent my whole life with these life threatening curls. But the way she looked over at me from the driver's side placed a hand on my leg. I really think it’s impossible that I slept with this woman almost as if it were a dream, “Cat got your tongue?”216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QEft1LRM9

“It certainly did a few days ago,” That quieted her ego and the long ride I anticipated was shorter than I remember. I felt a pang of sadness having to leave even though I'd indefinitely seen her Monday. She pulled to the curb of my dorm and while campus looked like a dead zone I knew some people love lurking behind their window blinds waiting for drama.

I took my time retrieving ym bag and the one Cherry brought over with her. Faye had her arms crossed looking at me with a ‘what now’ stare. She licked her lips looking around but I knew this wouldn’t be the greatest place to do that. I opened my arms wide thinking a harmless hug wouldn’t hurt and it felt just as nice as I thought it would. She squeezed me tight and snuck a kiss onto the side of my neck before tiptoeing away holding herself together with a puffy coat, “I’ll see you Monday alright king?”216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBJ7e9AM9T

“Yes you will, Ms. Hart,” I stood and watched her drive away happy with the outcome of my decision.

Unbeknownst to the home welcoming event someone did indeed witness it. And speculation of the two started to form.
