Love Between Classes

Chapter 6: Monday Morning

On Monday morning, Lindsey was more than excited to come to work. After sharing a very nice hug with Stevie that Saturday evening, he had just about fallen in love. He never thought he could fall so in love, so quick. As for Stevie all she could remember was how warm he felt. The way his arms felt around her. It made her all giddy and girly thinking about it.

Chris obviously wanted to know what went on at the park. He was just being a typical, nosey, little brother.

"So, how was your 'date'?" Chris airquotes as he gets into the car.

"Nosey aren't we?" She looks at him sideways before she drives off.

"As your little brother that is my job." He pats his chest and smiles- she rolls her eyes.

"Well, it was very nice." She smiles.

"You meet his kid?" Chris asks.

"Mmhmm. He was a sweet kid, gentle like Lindsey."

"He's five, how did you see that?" He smirks.

"He is six." Stevie corrects him and Chris roll his eyes. "And, I just can. He isn't very rambunctious like other sprouts. He had a great time playing with Jackie."

"Well, that's nice... I guess." He shrugs.

"It was." She smiles.

"When are you gonna see him again?" Chris asks.

"Right now, duffess." She stops at the red light and looks at her brother.

"I mean, outside of school, duffess."  He rolls his eyes again. "Go." He tells her, because the light turned green.

"Oh, I don't know for sure." Stevie sounded like she had something on her mind and Chris could tell.

"Whattaya mean?" He looks at her.

"Oh, for his son." She pauses and then clarifies. "Exavior, his son- he has speech difficulty so I told Lindsey I'd help him with that." Chris nods.

"That's nice, sis."

"Yeah, well... I could tell he has lots of potential. Lindsey and I were gonna workout a schedule this morning."

"Cool." Chris says plainly.

Chris and Stevie make it to the school and yet again, Lindsey is in the same parking lot and Stevie got hit with some more inspiration- to write.

A little later- Stevie goes over to Lindsey's room to work out a good schedule for Exavior's speech therapy.

"Knock, knock?" Stevie says as she taps on his door. His head shoots up and he looks to the direction of the voice.

"Hey, come in." Lindsey stands as she approaches him.

"So, I was gonna ask when a good time to work with Exavior would be?" Stevie smiles.

"Oh, uh..." Lindsey scratches his head. "Well, what works for you?" He asks her, because in actuality he wasn't too busy.

"Um, how about Wednesdays and Fridays?"

"Sounds good to me." He smiles.

"Great." She smiles back. "Wednesdays and Fridays after school, then?"

"Yep." He puts a thumbs up.

"Where should we meet?" He asks.

"Hmm, well I did tell him; he could see Jackie." She thinks a little. "We could do it at my place." She offers willingly.
