Love Between Classes

Chapter 35: Feel About You

Later on the day, Stevie and Lindsey were driving to pick up Exavior and go home.

Though, Stevie kept most of what was happening, to herself. The only thing in thought really, was Natalie. Now she had to help the girl out. "Lindsey... I gotta tell you something," she kind of blurted to him as they hit a red light.

"What's up?" he asked.

"So I talked to Natalie and--"

"Oh yeah! how'd that go?" he didn't mean to cut her off, but he had forgotten.

"Um, interesting actually," she worded carefully. She didn't want to mention at all, that she purposely kept Lindsey from learning of his child. But she needed to go into how her parents dominated her life.

"How come you say that?" he kind of smiled. He was waiting for some girl issue. Territory wise.

"Well, the truth is... she really needs help and I think she could use ours. Yours in particular," she looked at him, whom's eyes were glued to the road.

"Well, what do you mean?" he asked.

"I mean, she told me so much today and I know she wasn't just spouting bullshit. I could see real fear, Linds," she mentioned.

"Okay..." he kind of waited.

"Alright, she is really lost and scared, like you said. She does think you're attractive, but she doesn't really dig you. Her parents are threatening to arrange a marriage for her if she doesn't find someone. You were her first choice." She then went on to explaining everything that Natalie had told her, other than the things regarding them and their relationship.

As Lindsey came to a stop, so did Stevie.

He had parked out front of his mom's and was shocked. He learned so much more about Natalie than he thought he could.

"It's a lot, but are you following?" she asked.

"Yeah! fathoming, not so much, but yeah," he assured. "What can we do to help her?" He got off the car and made his way around to help her out.

"Thanks and I don't know. I mean, what's exactly wise? her parents are nuts from what I can tell. I thought my mother was crazy, but hers topped it," she shrugged.

Lindsey chuckled as he took her hand.

They then begun walking up the pathway and to the door.

There, Lindsey opened the door and allowed his girlfriend in before himself in.

"Hey!" greeted Gregory.

Lindsey immediately creased a brow. He wasn't expecting to see his older brother. It had been months and all of the sudden, there he stood. "What uh... what are you doing here?" he nervously chuckled.

"Well, I am done with swimming for now and yeah..." he kind of chuckled.

"Where is my son?" Lindsey then asked.

"He's with Jeff," his mother responded.

"I see, you still got Steves..." Gregory smiled.

"Yeah!" Lindsey smiled. He had an arm around her, trying to now claim his territory.

Stevie did the same and held Lindsey tightly. She could only recall the first night she had met Gregory and it wasn't exactly pleasant.

"How are you?" Ruth asked Stevie as she neared her to hug and kiss her.

"I'm wonderful," she kind of lied. She had only been thinking about Natalie, her baby, and now Lindsey's older brother.

Ruth winked at her for a sense of reassuring. "How's my baby?" she plastered her hand softly against Stevie's tummy.
