Love Between Classes

Chapter 8: That's Alright

When Lindsey gets to work, he stops by Stevie's room on his way  to his room.

"Hey?" He taps on her open door.

"Hey, come in." She said smiling as she stood up.

He walked in and had a smile on his face.

"What's up?" She asked as he approached her.

"Well, you know- I was gonna ask if you're busy this Saturday?" Lindsey stuffs his hands in his pockets.

"I'm not, why?" She smiled.

"My brother is coming home and my mom wanted to have a barbecue so I was wondering if you'd like to come?" He paused and looked over at Chris. "You too." Lindsey smiled.

"I'm down." Chris answered.

"Hmm... I think that'll be nice." She smiled. "What time?"

"Um, I'm not sure- but I can pick you up?" He offers.

"Oh, no- I don't wanna burden you with that." Stevie chuckled.

"It's not." He assured her.

"Alright." She smiled. "Oh!" Stevie turned to her purse. "I wanted you to take these home for Exavior. Have him read to you at night." Stevie handed him the books.

"Well, don't you need them?" Lindsey asked.

"No, I have more and I have the flash cards." Stevie assured.

"Okay, thanks."

"Mhmm." She smiled.

The day went on pretty smooth and both of them were pretty excited about Saturday.

Lindsey had forgotten to ask Stevie of she was busy after school, because Exavior wanted to see Stevie but little did Lindsey know what was to come.

When Lindsey was teaching his sixth period he could hear little feet running and gradually getting closer.

"Exavior?" Lindsey was a little confused to see his soon and not long after did he see his older brother.

"Yep." Jeff walked in smiling.

Both Jeff and Exavior had a visitor's sticker on their shirts.

"What are you doing here?" Lindsey smiled.

Jeff came closer to Lindsey. "Exavior wanted to see Stevie."

"Oh, I see." Lindsey paused and realized the class was staring. "Oh, um- this is my son Exavior, everyone." He looked down at him. "Say 'hi', sport." Lindsey chuckled as he watched his son wave.

"And, this is my older brother- Jeff." He put his hand on Jeff's shoulder.

"Hey, kids." Jeff smiled. "Anyway, where is this Stevie?" Jeff whispered to his brother.

"Next store, but I'll take him. Mind watching my class?"

"Nope, go on." Jeff smiled.

"I'll be right back, guys. Be good." Lindsey says to his students as he guided Exavior out.

"Where's Stebvie?" Exavior looks up at Lindsey.

"See that door right there?" Lindsey squats and points.

"Mhmm."

"She is in there, run inside and say 'hi', I'll be there in a second."

"Okay." Exavior obeys and runs in and he sees Stevie. "Stebvie!" He runs in and embraces her at the legs.
