The Spark

Heart and Soul

I was sitting in my dorm at the table after my class staring at my phone and the card I was given. I found myself anxious about it because I didn't want to get my hopes about this and then it did not go well at all. I felt Bobby start showering me with kisses. He came by as soon as I got home as if spending all weekend with him wasn't enough. He started kissing my neck and pulling me back towards the couch. I smiled and let him lead me. I followed and he stopped and picked up the card Dr. Hearts gave me. "What's that there?" He grabbed it.

   "Hey, I thought I was being spoiled." I pulled him back.

   "So talk fast number 1." He kissed me and kneeled before me.

   "A card and my phone." I giggled as he pulled my slippers off.

   "You smart ass." He popped my thigh.

   "It's a business card one of my professors gave me." I bit my lip as he kissed my thigh.

   "Tell me more." He stopped and stood up.

   "I mean since you stopped I might as well. My favorite professor told me about this opportunity she thought was perfect for me at the performing arts school. This is the card of the woman I'm supposed to call." I handed it to him.

   "Dr. Hearts the head of the music department on campus, your favorite professor, the woman you constantly impress, a woman who is not easily impressed at that wants you to work with this woman? Why haven't you called yet? I was in the shower for at least 30 minutes and took me another 15 to get dressed. You should have called." Bobby stared at me.

  "You remember my favorite teacher's name?" I couldn't help but swoon.

  "I knew her before you." He laughed. "I also listen when you talk. I might not look like it, but I do. Don't you dare change the subject; you're calling her." He picked up my phone and the card and started dialing. "Oh her number is similar to my mom's!"

  "Bobby stop! What are you doing?" I jumped up.

  "It's ringing!" He put my phone on speaker and held it about his head.

  "Bobby I'm going to..."

  "Chanel Castle." A voice on the other line said.

  "Hi, um my name is Paris Jackson. I'm one of Marilyn Heart's students. She told me to give you a call." Bobby handed me my phone back.

  "Oh yes, I'm so happy you reached out! I've been waiting for your call. Did she tell you what she put you up for by chance?" She sounded excited.

  "No, she didn't actually. All I know is it's like an internship kind of. I would love to know more about it." I looked at Bobby and he was grinning.

  "Oh, it's just like Marilyn not to relay a message properly. Are you free around 11 on Friday? You could come by my off and I can explain everything to you." She asked.

   "I am that would be great." I started getting excited.

   "Good, I'll see you then Paris. Have a good day."

   "You too goodbye." I hung up my phone and set it down.

   "Are you happy that I pushed you to make the call?" Bobby had a smug look on his face.

   "Yes, I am. Thank you very much." I kissed him. He kissed me back and lifted me setting me on the table. I couldn't help, but giggle. Right when I went to undo his jeans his phone started ringing. We broke apart and he rolled his eyes. "Yes?" He pretty much growled. He looked aggravated at whoever was talking to him on the phone. "I'll see you soon." He sighed and hung up. He looked at me and I knew he had to go. I leaned back on my hands. He gave me yet another kiss and had a small pout on his face. "I have to go, but Saturday night I'm taking you out on a date to celebrate and then you can spend the night. I'll make sure you'll be able to find all your things, unlike yesterday." He laughed.
