My Light Within Her Dark [T. Drake]

~13~

Tim walked to the gate and found Tommy and Brandon standing with Leanne and Rianne.

"Morning dude!" Brandon called out.

"Morning, has Selena arrived yet?" Tim asks. Leanne and Rianne both look at each other hoping he wouldn't see, but he did.

"Where is she?" Tim asks losing his patience as he exhaled.

"She gave us a call around 5:40 am, and told us to grab the homework for her..." Rianne started and paused.

"Because, she's at work. Selena told us that she had to work this morning." Leanne finished.

"I will miss, but..." Cissy starts.

"Cissy, what's wrong?" Selena asks challantly.

"Tim is here." Cissy finishes.

There was a pause, Selena debated about letting him in, but then felt something in her heart, and caved in.

"Let him in please, when the girls get here don't let them in." Selena called out.

Cissy let go of the intercom, and opened the door for him. Tim walked in and walked over to see Selena walking over to her mini bar island,
