If Kisses Should Win

Part thirty-six

I had been home for about 5 days since the whole...situation.
Elliot and I had VERY long conversation about communicating better and how he was gone a lot. I thought the conversation was going amazing until Elliot pulled out my acceptance letter for college I had gotten in the mail.
"Now, I have a question to ask you. What's this?"
He pulled out the packet from underneath a stack of papers that sat on the kitchen island.
"I—its...."
I sighed rubbing my forehead.
"I applied thinking that I wouldn't get in, but when it came a couple days ago and it said that I got in..."
"You we're nervous to tell me."
Elliot finished my sentence and I nodded.
"I'm happy you got in, Dex."
"Really?"
"Of course! You deserve it. This is next month right?"
I nodded my head and smiled. I was so worried that we would have to start this entire conversation over. That's why I didn't tell him but I guess I was worried for nothing.
"We will have to find a good sitter for Arlo and get all the things around for you to go."
Tears stung at my eyes. I got up from the stool I had been sitting on and walked over to Elliot. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him into a hug.
"Thank you..."
He hugged me back and pressed a kiss to my temple.
"I love you Dex."
I pulled out of the hug slightly and looked Elliot in the eyes.
"I love you too."

First day of School

It was the beginning of September the air was still hot yet a cool breeze blew.
Arlo was 3 months old and had began to hold his head up all by himself. He would lay on his stomach and push his chest up with his arms and look around blowing bubbles and making small sounds.
Elliot stood in his pajamas holding Arlo making his tiny hand wave goodbye to me.
"Say bye bye Mamma!"
I placed a kiss on Arlos cheek and gave Elliot a kiss on the lips.
"Have a good day sweetheart."
I smiled and waved once more before leaving. I got into the new car that Elliot had bought. Yep, he bought ANOTHER car. He buys them like they are candy. I'm not kidding when he got home from work we ate dinner and he just casually mentioned "oh by the way, I got a new car. It's for you."
I remember stopping dead. My moth hung open and my hand sat suspended with my fork in my hand. "You what?!"
Yeah that's how that went down.
It's a really nice car like all the others. It's a Cadillac CT4 or some bullshit. It's was to nice for me but he said he wasn't going to return it. I also felt bad if I didn't drive it so here we are driving this insanely nice car to my first day of freshman year of college at the ripe old age of 21. In about 2 weeks I'll be 22.
Just for a little background, I graduated high school at 19. No I didn't get held back it's just where my birthday falls. I took a gap year and in that year I got a free different jobs trying to save up some money and eventually moved out of my parents house.
Then when I turned 21 I got a job at a bar met this absolute douche he got me pregnant and 9 months later here we are!

I pulled up outside the college and found a parking spot. I took a deep breath and finally forced myself to get out of the car. I wandered around trying to find the correct building.
Cosmetology...cosmetology...cosmetology...
Found it! I ran up the steps and through the huge front doors.
There was others scattered around the large hall talking and laughing. I searched for room number 12. It was near the end of the hall and slowly went into the smaller set of doors.
The room was split into two different halves. One was filed with desks and seats and the other with mirrors and stylist chairs.
I noticed a set of girls and a guy sitting at the desks. I went over and chose a seat bit particularly near them but not far away from the either.
I got situated and placed my bag on the floor folding my hands in front of me waiting for the teacher to arrive. I checked my watch and saw that I still had about 25 minutes before class actually started.
"Hey."
At first I didn't realize that the girl was talking to me so I hate sat quietly.
"You. With the black hair."
At this point I realized she was talking to me and turned slightly so I was facing her.
"Hi."
"Hello."
I responded simply.
"Want to come sit next to us?"
They all seemed nice right? What could it hurt. If I didn't end of liking then I didn't have to sit with them. I nodded and moved myself and my things to a desk right beside them.
"What's your name?"
A girl that kind of reminded me of Cate asked.
"Dexlynn or just Dex is fine."
She laughed slightly.
"That's a cool name. Never heard that one before."
"And yours?"
"Dottie. And this is Ryla and that guy, who isn't in this class, is named Garret."
I nodded gave them all a small wave.
"You rich?"
Garret gave me an odd look and asked. He received a hard hit on the back of the head from Ryla.
"Shut it Asshole!"
"It was just a question!"
I giggled slightly.
"No, I'm not."
"Your clothes and bag say different."
That comment got him another hit on the head but this time from Dottie.
"Shut up! Leave him alone!"
I looked down and noticed that I was wearing mostly designer. I had honestly just gotten used to it. Elliot would constantly buy things for me and I stopped really thinking about it.
My bag was a Micheal Kors book bag that Elliot bought me for Valentine's Day.
I bit my lip slightly. Should I go home and try to find some of my old clothes?
"Don't listen to him. He's a jackass."
Ryla gave me a smile. She had suck bright read hair. It was natural...I think?
"I have a question? Is your hair real? Sorry if that's rude! But it's so pretty!"
"All real!"
"Wow! It's beautiful!"
"Thank you! Now I have a question. Are you really in this class or are you in here like him because he has a crush on Dottie?"
Garret flipped her off and she laughed waving me off.
"No, I'm really in this class."
Both her and Dottie started to clap.
"Yay!! There aren't many boys in here!"
We talked for a while longer before class started. The teacher seemed nice and I'm extremely excited that I made some friends here.
Maybe this will be good. I really hope it is.
