"Thank you, Mrs. Willmore." I mumble into my cell phone, attempting to keep my voice steady. "I truly appreciate you going out of your way to set this up."

"Anytime, my dear." Mrs. Willmore replies before hanging up.

I sit with myself for a moment, gathering all of my thoughts and feelings. Maxine has agreed to come to Xavier and work along side me. She actually agreed. She'll be in on Monday. Hazel and I will be able to see her in two days. And after Hazel and I thought we would never see her again?

I have to be calm about this.

"HAZEY!" I shout into our home as loud as I can.

Hazel stumbles into our living room in a panic. "WHAT, WOMAN?!"

"Come here! I have good news!" I grin widely in excitement. I'm absolutely over the moon with the news I just received and I can't wait to share it.

   Hazel narrows her eyes at me as she walks over to me. "This better be fucking good, I have some work to do."

I chuckle as she straddles my waist. "Well, I just got off the phone with Mrs. Willmore."

"And?" Hazel asks as her eyes widen in realization.

"Maxine agreed to work along side me at Xavier." I announce with a grin.

A beat passes between us. Then another, before a sharp exhale leaves Hazel's soft lips. I begin to frown slightly.

   "Are you not hap—"

   Hazel presses a big kiss to my lips that leaves me slightly dazed. Then two hands grasp my shoulders.

"Do you know what this means?!" Hazel shakes my shoulder, bringing back to reality.

   "H-Hazel—" I try, but Hazel smacks me with another kiss.

   She pulls away with a wide grin, "We might have a chance to get closer with Maxine!"

"We'll get to see her twice a week since we usually spend our lunches together!" I tell my girlfriend, barely able to believe it myself. "And here I thought she might reject the offer."

Hazel gently places a hand on my chest than slowly moves up to my neck. She thumbs the corner of my jaw all while my eyes never leave hers. The air that was full of excitement has settled and now we sit together in a peaceful bliss.

   "I'm really happy," She finally mumbles with a chuckle, "It's like when we were barely adults and we met each other for the first time. The pull, the excitement, the wanting."

   I chuckle too. I don't think I could have said it better. It's like meeting the perfect person all over again. It's making me giddy.

   "Maybe this calls for a celebration." Hazel grins.

   "A celebration?" I ask.

   She leans down to kiss the side of my neck. The second her lips make contact with the skin on my neck, something akin to an electric shock runs through me. My heart begins to beat a little bit fast and my thoughts begin to fog ever so slightly.
