Faye paced in front of me and I was slightly nervous with the quiet swears she let out, “Why didn't you think to tell me? We could’ve been done with this since he most definitely is on my record of students.”121Please respect copyright.PENANAAznOaODk9y
121Please respect copyright.PENANAjTIwArOFqP
“I didn’t want you to worry Faye.”121Please respect copyright.PENANAO3MyhZVtmd

“What else had he done? Is that why we separated? I thought I had a good grip on you but then all of a sudden I didn't. Then I waited and kept waiting thinking you’d just lost your footing but that's what happened?”121Please respect copyright.PENANAAyFYXphxh2

I reached out for her and was grateful she stopped pacing to look at me. I glanced over to the two policemen who were engrossed in a conversation with my mother then back to her, “All that matters is that I’m fine now.”121Please respect copyright.PENANA0WIl65x0Dq

“Cleo honey please just don’t keep things that are very important like that away from me. And we should go get you checked again. That might be why your having chest pain.”121Please respect copyright.PENANAJ35XTEjnTN

“Mom talked to you?”121Please respect copyright.PENANAFIBWuWhI5Y
121Please respect copyright.PENANANMm24LJdwW
“Briefly since she thought you wouldn’t be convinced by her to get a checkup,” She fiddled with my hair leaning in to kiss me. It was slow and sensual like the one we shared after she’d gotten home. And that was only because mom was preoccupied with some work thing, “Alright i'm gonna go apologize for storming off. Most likely they’ll come by when I'm working and I'll give them everything I have on that boy.”

“Mom looks a bit livid. I'm afraid to go talk to her.”121Please respect copyright.PENANAVE9iZPfDD1
121Please respect copyright.PENANACMsuSARWUZ
“Well that was a scary factor to add onto that night. Are you sure your ok? I hope you feel like I'd be a good substitute to count on if Cherry or your aunt aren’t available. And now also your mom.”121Please respect copyright.PENANA0cH8tE2uRi
121Please respect copyright.PENANAvo1HZS5vTv
“I do, trust me I did want to tell you but I just put it off til the last minute. Thank you though. I just can’t wait for all of this to be settled.”

A day later and I was thinking I wouldn't be back on campus until next week but of course here I am. Edith better be glad this concerned my graduation status otherwise i would have been with Faye, “Well hey there, a good looking one was waiting for you to get here.”121Please respect copyright.PENANAvYv5KdXDXm
121Please respect copyright.PENANAdRMogytWEw
Weird thing to call me but it's totally fine. And boy can she talk. I don’t even know why I need to know about her mom’s hemorrhoids but whatever doesn’t rock the boat is fine. I just need to just talk with her over these missing files she claims to be so important then I can go see Faye. Quick, simple, and easy, “Is your mind lost in the clouds?”121Please respect copyright.PENANAWt2bFcRYVn
121Please respect copyright.PENANAXhYvveNOFw
“Sorry what?”121Please respect copyright.PENANAIlVx4qelDq
121Please respect copyright.PENANAxasmskHExz
“I’ve been pouring out my entire life to you and your not listening.”

I followed her into the office space provided and pulled up a chair beside her as she beckoned me to. She pulled up a few unimportant documents, in my opinion, and looked at me as if i should know the answer, “You really needed these? Couldn’t you have found them on my record? I know I've put this information on a slip at least more than a few times while I was here.”121Please respect copyright.PENANAd09rN4c3Jn
121Please respect copyright.PENANAL5aV5hD1zl
“I couldn't find it. I regret bothering you on your days off.”121Please respect copyright.PENANAxWIDG4PgN4

“It’s fine,” That’s a lie but why hurt someone's feelings over something uncomplicated, “Not to mention your better than what's his face next door so seeing you was better than them.”121Please respect copyright.PENANAyAiGmu19PX

She brushed her hand up and down my upper arm creating goosebumps. It was an uncanny gesture that mixed up some of my feelings towards her but I couldn't help my next thought from rolling out, “How’s your husband? And kids?”121Please respect copyright.PENANAURwZEKWOli
121Please respect copyright.PENANA0VSVCuNLfw
“Oh Willis is doing great but Fred is getting on my overbearing nerves. Love them to death though.”121Please respect copyright.PENANAYL2HzEANiQ
121Please respect copyright.PENANArf80pimNpa
“And… the husband?”121Please respect copyright.PENANAUBXo22jSeo
121Please respect copyright.PENANAcuzW7A6EXe
“We’ve divorced. Anyway, what about you? Have you found anyone… recently?”121Please respect copyright.PENANAmAbR3IbIl5
121Please respect copyright.PENANAGowvtJ6l7A
“Yes,” She bit her lip and we shared a look that I should've shut down the moment I realized what was about to happen. She started to lean forward and I was quick to slant backward but I didn't know I'd already been on the left edge of my chair. Somehow without me realizing it she’d already been so close and that literally led me to my demise on the floor.

“I mean I'm in a relationship with someone else. I’m sorry. When I tried that first time with you and he came in I ultimately crossed you off.”121Please respect copyright.PENANAiiFE2qUNVg
121Please respect copyright.PENANAgahwi31fcC
“...That’s fine. But I hope this doesn’t stop you from working with us. …And I'd rather you be a friend anyway.”
121Please respect copyright.PENANAo5E50IdfCz
“Alright friends, sure. I gotta… get going but I’m gonna email Mr. Marshall to say I'm on board,” This was a decision I had already made earlier but why did I feel the need to tell her? And better yet, I won't just forget what happened.

My mind was a million lightyears away from this whole incident. Should I tell Faye? Would she even want me to work here after I tell her? Edith leaned forward over her desk to where I moved and was about to reach for me but pulled back last minute. What deterred me the most was the amount of cleavage i was met with only noticing now how sorta provocative she dressed today rather than the casual wear from earlier, “Are we ok?,”121Please respect copyright.PENANAGXf27ORQ4w
121Please respect copyright.PENANAFaQ5GyLmh1
“Yep sorry we are. And uh see ya,” I moved as fast as I could to the exit going to the next destination where Faye was. My heart was beating too fast and loudly for my liking as I exited the building. To top that off I had no idea how to just bring up something like that to Faye121Please respect copyright.PENANAYbxL1G60bJ
