I have four books open in front of me and the words have officially blurred all together.
Hands touch my shoulders.
Ward leans down and puts his cheek to mine. “Have you been studying all night again?”
His breath stinks of a bad night of sleep and alcohol.
I turn my head. “How bad is your hangover?”
“I don’t get hangovers. Remember?”
“You look like you’re hungover right now.”
“Damn, didn’t know you were going to pick a fight with me. I should have just stayed asleep.”
Ward steps back. He points at the books. “That’s a lot of words. No pictures?”
“No pictures in these books, Ward,” I say. “This is intense stuff.”
“Pre-med,” he says. “My woman is a genius, huh?”
“I don’t know about that. But thanks for saying it.”
“Hey,” Ward says with a smile. “Where are the good books at? The ones with the pictures. I miss those.”
“Wow. Seeing another woman’s clitoris excites you that much?”
“I only see it as a benefit for you,” Ward says. “The more I understand of the female anatomy, the better.”
I stare at him.
He starts to laugh.
He rubs his forehead and sighs.
Not hungover, huh?
“Shit, I need some coffee,” Ward says. “What a night. You didn’t drink at all?”
“I had a sip here and there.”
“You’re so tame. Sometimes I wonder how in the world we ended up together.”
I laugh. A very nervous laugh.
Ward’s phone begins to ring.
He rushes back to my bedroom and next thing I hear is him yelling, “Yo! Man! What the fuck was that last night?”
I look at my textbooks and my eyes go blurry.
I have to take a break.
I should grab a shower and get something to eat.
Pre-med is no joke. I can’t even imagine what actual medical school will be like.
Everything in my life is riding on this.
