Continuing from chapter 24 in the Gold Mansion: Big Time .

Carry couldn't believe it was Him. It was her turn to present but the Bell rang and everyone dashed out and carry tried to dash out too but he called her name and she froze.
"Stay for a minute." He ordered with a gentle voice and Carry's heart raced.  Jamal stood with Her.
"I'll stay if you want."
"No I'm okay. You go ahead." Carry told him. Jamal smiled proudly.
"I Gotta write this down This is a major improvement." Jamal said leaving out now. Carry shut the door and She went to him.
"I wasn't expecting to uh...."
"Me neither." Carry said with a slight smile. "I Hope these next two weeks don't interfere with....our uh..."
"I Hope not." Carry answered not looking at him .
"Is it a sin to make eye contact with your instructor?" He Asked genuinely.
"I'm sorry. ..I have bipolar anxiety . It's hard to you know talk to people and ...."
"Look at them."
"Yeah it's embarrassing. That's why they pick on me and make me go first in presenting." Carry explained and Francisco paced the room and he thought of an idea.
".... tell you what. You can present it tomorrow.....if you do it in front of the class you get a High grade....if you do a private presentation meaning just me in the room I deduct 10 points." Francisco suggested and carry sighed in frustration with her intrusive thoughts. Carry had a low grade in this class just because of her anxiety and that's Why everyone got on her.
"I' can't do that." Carry said.
"You're just giving up?"
"What's the point? Mister totem failed me ..."
"I'm not Mister totem."  He said and carry paused. "Just try."
"Oh ... okay. I'll try." Carry said really meaning it. She has Big smile on her face. He looked at her and their eyes meet. "5 seconds." Carry mumbled and looked away.
"5 seconds?"
"Yeah I never looked at anyone that Long besides my family and my family has A LOT of people." Carry explained. "I Gotta go i said too much."  Carry whispered. She then turned to leave.
"One more thing uh...." He began and carry stopped.
"Are you and uh That Guy...."
"Oh no!!! That's my chaperon my doctor insisted I have someone with me and it turn's out we go to the same class. God helps me like that." Carry explained and she stopped herself. "God I Speak a lot when I'm comfortable." Carry mumbled.
"Comfortable?"
"Oh. You Heard that." Carry sighed walking out. She rushed with her head down to her car. She sat In the car and her phone went off. She looked at it and it was him.

Good morning 🌄

Carry practiced in front of her brother and niece.
"Aunt carry you take Amazing pictures." Jade said happily.
"Thanks ken. "
"Can you take one of Me?" Jade asked with Such Joy.
"Hmmm I don't know I don't think the photo will do you justice you're too beautiful."
"Pleeaaaaase?!!" Jade asked with a pouting face.
"Okay Fine fine. Do an amazing pose one that'll steal the boy's."
"Steal what boys?" Judah asked. Carry rolled her eyes with Jade.
"Men." Jade groaned.
"Now now your Daddy is trying to protect you. Men can be more complicated than your daddy. " Carry explained taking her picture. "Now big brother leave us we have coronation pictures to discuss." Carry insisted and Judah obeyed with a laugh. Carry sat with her niece going over editing filters and themes.
"You have any boys?"  Carry asked.
"I like this Guy. But he's indenial of his feelings but he Kissed me which is Also confusing. "
"Did you miss him?"
"Promise you won't tell Daddy?"
"I promise." Carry winked.
"I did. And it's weird I saw he was hurting and he cried in my arms and I just...I love him. But I don't know if he loves me like I love him."  Jade said and carry smiled.
"Did you ask him?"
",... no?"
"Well that's why you don't know. Us girls go for word's while Men go for actions. So you should ask." Carry suggested and Jade nodded. They continued to work on The theme . Carry hoped she can follow her Own advice when the time came.
