Spring Washes and Rings.

Three weeks to chapter 27.

Marco

My car needs some serious washing, spring is my least favorite time of the year because of the rain. Pollen everywhere including on the car, and it also signifies allergy time. Yuck.

I make the final U-turn to my frequent car-wash place like I usually do once every week since the season started.

It was actually a nice weather out there today so I was dressed in a blue and black plaid flannel and black shorts with my all black Vans, it's a pretty chill day and the plans for the day were pretty chill too.

I was just coming from Jamie and Dash's where the catchers group gathered. The group which apparently includes me, Jamie, Chrissy, Enzo, Jalil, Julian, and Callum had gathered to learn how to bake banana split brownies, and peach and berry cobbler from Jamie's mom. Chrissy had come up with the god awful moniker for the 'group' and Callum has always complained that he wasn't a member.

I pull into the car wash and drive straight to the wash station before parking my car and handing my keys to the guy in charge. I head to the waiting area after selecting the kind of wash I wanted and paying for it.

I play around on my phone not really having much to do, but I'm bored so I decide to disturb my husband. Will I get punished? Depends on the gravity of the disturbance, do I care? Absolutely not, I'm bored.

"Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" Delivered.

I cackle internally when the dots that show he's typing appear less than 30 seconds later.

"I'm in a meeting stud." I'm definitely about to have some fun now.

"*sigh* You're supposed to be focused on the discussion master, smh."

"How much sugar have you had today?" To be honest I ate almost all the baked goods we made. I guess that's where the sudden burst of energy came from.

"A lot *lol emoji* will I be punished by master *fingers crossed emoji*?"

"I need to focus stud, come straight to the office when you're done." Uh-oh, did I stop even upon reading that? Nope.

"Uh you're so boring use some emoji's Damon *eye roll emoji*" Read.

My husband just left me on read, my mouth pulls into a pout as I stare at my phone like it's the culprit.

I'm still pouting for being left on read when I see my car being driven out from the wash area and I proceed out to it.

"Professor Flores?" I'm startled, recognizing the voice instantly. I come here almost every week and I've never seen him here. There's something about a clean car that'll always get me excited.

"Harry?" I take in his presence, his hair is dyed blonde from it's natural brown and it's sleeked back as opposed to his usual messy bad boy look. "What are you doing here?" I ask gently even when I clearly see him cleaning my car.

"I started working here during the week." He states with that wide smile he always has with that undecipherable expression.

I haven't seen him since the day at my office but the departmental head had managed to keep me in the loop that Harry did in fact take that leave of absence.

"That's nice Harry. I hope everything has been going well for you?" I ask genuinely concerned.

"Yes professor, everything is going perfect." There's a dark glint in his eyes as he says those words like his eyes get darker. Or maybe I imagined it.
