With all the baby talk I had kind of lost focus on my classes but made it a point to lock myself in the library and complete my last few assignments and get some studying done. I had my head stuck in a fundamentals of learning book when someone dropped a Five Guys bag on the table. I looked up and saw a smiling Xavier. I jumped up hugging him and he kissed my cheek.
"You knew I was hungry?"
"Yeah I knew. I knew you'd probably been in here since I text you earlier."
He was right.
"Yeah with all the talk about the baby at home and Trey coming and going it's just too distracting so I told myself today I was going to lock in and focus and I'm making pretty good progress just going over some things for this class."
"So I got my invitation to the baby shower today."
Trey and I had decided to send out e-invites. Go green!
"Yeah you liked it?"
"Yeah it was cute. Winnie the Pooh huh?"
"Yeah. So what does the baby need?"
"Everything, but Marcus told me that he's been selling stuff out of our house and has a stash for me to buy whatever I need."
"So what it's still nice to get things though."
"Yeah it is."
He put his hand on my stomach.
"Fat girl."
"Shut up! This baby is wearing me down, she keeps moving and be wanting to eat all crazy. You know the other day I was craving animal crackers in mustard? What type of stuff is that?"
He laughed.
"Hormones."
"I guess. But thank you for the food."
"No problem, you mind if I study with you?"
"Are we really going to study?"
He bent over so our noses were touching.
"You tell me?"
I pecked his lips quickly and he took a seat. We studied for probably 30 minutes and then it was just us talking and laughing. I'd missed spending time with him, I missed him. His hands were playing through my curls with his head in a book when my phone went off. It was Trey. Asking where I was and when I'd be home.
"Guess I'd better get home."
Xavier helped me get my things together and carried my bookbag out to my truck. I was sitting in the truck and Xavier had his arm hanging over the door. He stuck his head in the car and I laughed when I turned my head and he was right in my face. He smiled.
"You are so silly."
"So when am I going to see you again Ms. Daniela?"
