I sneak through the back door of the band room with my eyes searching for Don. Since everyone else is M.I.A. and Vanessa had tutoring this morning, I decided to take this as an opportunity.
I saw him up ahead in his usual red band jacket, talking with .. ugh Nathan. Going the long route and sneaking up behind him,
"Hey handsome.", I said following with a short kiss on the cheek and he surprisingly jumped back, causing me to lean a little down the stairs yet Don caught me before I fell back on the metal chairs.
"A Little jumpy this morning huh?"
"I wasnt expecting you.", he said looking a bit sheepish.
"Mhm, Happy 5 months to you too."
"Okay, you know I love seeing you."
"Uh-huh Mr. Smooth talker.", I said smiling and patting his chest so hell back up from the closeness.
"Hey cmere."
"Huh? What the—", I barely got any words out as Don dragged me to the side hallway with determination in his step.
"Donnie you okay?"
"Uhm, I dont know how to say this exactly."
"Don, say what? Youre kinda freaking me out right now."
"Wait No! Its nothing bad, I promise. Well, it could be bad from a certain perspective or point of view in the situation.", I just looked at him trying to determine whether I should be turned on or worried.
"Janell.. you see, my mom has always wanted to me to expand my horizons and voice my musical talents more than I am now. Theres this prestigious music school and I just found out that I got in."
"Oh my god, Don thats awesome! This is a huge opportunity for you."
"Yeah, it really is but I would have to enter early considering its an early college."
"Oh.", I looked down immediately but I know I have to take in consideration what he deserves.
"Babe, this is a big deal for both my mom and I but Im considering turning down the offer. I really dont want to leave you.", Don spoke to me in a pained voice as I looked down at our hands as his squeeze harder on my own.
In a lowered voice I spoke to him, with all honesty and placed my hand upon his cheek.
"Donnie, I dont want you to leave either but this is a chance for you to really show your talent and as much as it pains me, I cant be in your way. I wont let you make a decision based off of me."
"But —"
"No Donnie, its okay. I would never stand in the way of your future just like I know you would do the same for me. Like Ive told you before, Im always here for you."
"I dont want to leave you.", his voice was still pained and I could hear a faint crack within as our foreheads laid against each others.
"I know..", we were both silent until he lifted his head to bring his lips to mine in a passionate kiss. Then the moment was interrupted when Vanessa came through the hallway door.
"Why are yall so close together?", I slightly moved my head back to glance at Vanessa who stared at us in confusion.
"No reason, whats up?"
"I dont know, maybe the usual morning meetup that we have every morning.", she said with a duh tone in her voice.
"Well wheres the rest of the group then?"
"I dont know, thats why I came and found you. You may not be easy to follow, but predictable enough to find whenever I need to find you.", she said with a smile
"Gee thanks Ness."
"I'll be here 365 days of the year, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day."
"Well technically the school opens at 8:55 and closes at 5pm."
"You know what I mean."
"And we only have school 180 days out of the year, 5 days a week excluding the holidays and snow makeups."
"Alright look you smartass --", she said pointing a finger at Don until he interrupted her.
"Why thank you. Not many people recognize my genius."
I halfheartedly smiled at him before speaking up, "Oh babe, not in math."
"That doesnt count Nell.", he said looking at me with a pointing face.
"It does in order to graduate.", I then patted him on the shoulder before walking toward the art room with Nessa, his voice yelling in the distance.
"Really babe?!?!"
