That was our goodbye. I paused only for a moment to wave goodbye to him, and he just lifted his hand toward me, then took off like a shot down the road again.
It wouldn’t have surprised me if he went on another drive, just to get the steam out of his blood.
Luckily for me though, Clea was home when I stepped in the door.
She looked at me and her eyebrows shot up as her jaw dropped.
“You said you were in Louisville!”
I grinned, trying to brush down my wild hair.
“I was. I got back this afternoon.”
“And immediately got down and dirty with your new beau?” she demanded.
I laughed.
“No, I went to work first, then got down and dirty with my beau.”
Clea clapped her hands and squealed, and my heart beat with excitement to tell her all about Owen.
“Girl, I’m dying over here! You gotta tell me who this mystery man is!”
I sat down, not caring that I looked like I’d just been sexed or that I was missing my panties.
“Do you remember what I told you about him?” I asked her, plopping down on my bed away from her.
She was practically panting with excitement.
“You said he was in your class, but you’ve been real hush-hush about him. Not even a name!”
I bit my lip, then put out my pinky.
“I need you to pinky swear that you won’t tell anyone what I’m about to tell you.”
Her face became serious.
“Pinky swear?” she asked.
I nodded, wiggling my pinky again.
Clea put out her pinky and curled hers around mine, but put in the caveat, “I’ll keep my mouth closed, unless something happens to you, or I’m scared for you. In that case I reserve the right to tell the police about said guy.”
I laughed, but agreed.
“Nothing’s going to happen to me. He’s not dangerous,” I told her with a laugh.
The apprehension drained from her eyes and she went back to bouncing on her bed in excitement.
“I wasn’t lying when I told you he’s in my class,” I explained slowly.
She watched, unblinking.
“But he’s not a student here. He’s one of my professors.”
The look of shock on her face was priceless.
“WHAT?!”
