Wednesday came and my classes went slower than ever but I managed to make it through. I headed back to the dorm to get ready but I had nothing really nice to wear so I put on my best shirt and skirt. Soon there came a knock at my door and when Kat opened the door there stood Dom tall and handsome. He looked me up and down like I was a piece of meat but he didn't say anything. We got into his car and he took us to our destination. Not knowing was half the fun but I figured I would fill the drive time with conversation instead of silence.
"So, there is something I want to tell you but I don't know how you're going to react so just listen." I said preparing to feel just as alone as I did the day Lorenzo left.
"I am sure that no matter what I have been there and done that but go on." He said as if he truly cared what I had to say.
"When I was, young I thought, I was in love with this guy. We ended up getting pregnant and our parents forced me to have the baby and give him up. I haven't been in any type of contact with him or the people who adopted him. I sometimes think about him and wonder what he is like and what he is doing but I never ask to see him."
"How young is young and you're not the first person to have had a baby. I've been with many women who have had babies and did what they had to because they knew they couldn't give them the best life. Understand that does not matter to me it just makes up a part of your past and it's a part of who you are." He said understanding.
"I was 16 and at first I hated my mom for asking me to give him up, but then when Lorenzo left me I knew exactly why she would have asked me to do it. I found out the hard way what love was and Lorenzo wasn't it. I found love in the tiny life I held in my arms for only a few hours. Then I had to hand him over and at that time I knew what being torn apart felt like. I was lost for a while before I met some other people."
"Everyone makes mistakes and I don't want you to think I will look at you any differently."
"I just felt you should know."
We got to the place and it was packed. We headed into the building only to find there was no room there either. They had sold out of seats well before we arrived and now had to change our plans. We went for a movie instead but I didn't really watch the movie as it played on. He was into the movie but he put his arm around my shoulder pulling me closer to him. I wasn't sure if it was a nice gesture since I was cold or if he was trying to get close. Either way it worked for me, I was comfortable with it. When the movie was over it was late and he didn't waste, any time getting me back to the dorm. He hugged me tight and kissed my forehead.
"Your home late." Kat said as I closed the door.
"Yeah we went to see a movie then we came back here. I'm going to bed it's late and we have an early class in the morning." I said crawling into my pj's then into bed.
Class started off with a random lecture from the professor who talked about the economy and what we should be doing to help it out. Buying locally and from farmers will help a lot. I couldn't stay focused because I had so much running through my mind. Dom was weird last night and by weird, I mean up to no good. I wasn't sure what his gestures meant as I never really was with anyone who did anything like that. He also had yet to try and get into my pants which was another odd thing. I was never the easy type but I didn't wait long. I was into sleeping with anyone sometimes and normally that gets me into trouble. Like the time, I slept with some guy I worked with that got around fast and everyone knew about it. He blew it out of portion and some of the stuff he talked about never happened. Finally, the professor calling my name drew me out of it.
"Brinsley, Brinsley" He called
"Yes professor." I said
"Do you have any idea what is going on right now?" He asked
"Not really, I'm sorry."
"Pay attention." He said turning away from me to the rest of the class.
He drones on and on as I take notes trying to look like I'm busy paying attention. He's watching me as I look up every now and again. I find it hard to focus but I'm trying hard to get the notes done. As soon as he dismisses class he's called me to stay behind. I assume he's going to yell at me some more. I was right he was pissed and for some reason I had no idea what I was thinking. I knew better then to drift off during his class. He was the only teacher who seemed to care or notice if you weren't paying attention. The class itself isn't hard but it's cut and dry, boring tremendously.
As soon as he was done yelling at me I headed back to the dorms where I showered and took a long nap. The door swung open and it startled me but I saw Kat and some guy attached at the lips. I rolled and passed out again. The next time I wake it's because I fell out of bed and onto the floor. At the same time, I get up the guy that was there earlier is dressing and leaving. I can't stay awake and I'm instantly sleeping again.
