My Bi Professor [COMPLETED]

34-"Two more weeks."

Sorry, but this is a really uneventful chapter. It's also short. Only 509 words.

Ash-

Colton came out the next day.

He met the kids, and he understood when we decided Phoenix and Nathan'd be the godparents. He decided to take on the role of uncle.

Everything was turning up perfect, more or less.

Keiynan—Mr. Lonsdale—had let me take some days off work to spend more time with the twins.

School was awkward. Colton agreed to take the twins most of the time, but it was still clear to everybody that when Andi had come back, that we were both parents.

People desperately wanted to meet them. But, I wouldn't trust any of them, except for Nate and Phee, of course.

Class was awkward with Mr. Lonsdale. We were able to keep a professional relationship, though it was hard and rather tempting.

I missed him. A lot.

But, I knew it was the right thing to do. "Two more weeks," I'd mutter to myself after his class. "Two more weeks."

Nathan was great with the twins. He was like the second parent at the dorm, which it was obvious I needed. I expected Phoenix to be similar, but I wasn't sure. Nathan spent more time with Ajax and Addy, taking them on walks with Andi, being the first one back at the dorm...

But, I was their father, and they seemed to know it themselves.

Everything was falling into place.

Keiynan-

I had got to meet Ash's kids once, properly.

I had seen them around campus, but knew it'd be weird to approach them.

It was honestly hard to keep myself from Ash most of the time, but I knew that if we were to have any future at all, that I'd need to respect his wishes.

So I did.

I didn't treat him differently than any of the other students. I just treated him professionally, called on him to answer questions, and expected the very best from him.

But, of course, I missed him.

Only two more weeks, I'd have to remind myself. Then the torture and waiting is done.

I was anxiously waiting 'graduation', waiting for my chance to be with Ash.

It was almost like when I was in the closet: I was confused, afraid, and in love.

"Love is a powerful tool," Elliot had told me, once. "It determines who lives, who reproduces, and, ultimately, who is happy."

"It can also break somebody apart," I added in.

He chuckled. "That's just a part of love. With love comes heartbreak, my friend. With love comes heartbreak."

Though my friend may seem like a total idiot, he was right. His deep observations of life were right, and they were helping to lead me to the end of the year.

Regardless of how Ash and I turned out, I'd love.

Either live and love happily and forever with Ash, or experience that heartbreak, move on, and once again find love, just as has happened with Sarah.

Everything was close to perfect.

It was all in place.
