“Don’t you mean your legs?” he halfway snapped.
Where did that come from?
I ignored the barb and continued my interrupted journey to the kitchen.
“Do you want a beer?” I called out to him as I opened the door to the fridge.
“Yes, please, Ms. Dennison.”
He damn well not get any idea we will be playing ‘teacher-student’ again.
I grabbed a beer from the fridge and a wine cooler for me and rejoined him in the living room. He was sprawled out on the couch, reaching for the remote.
Christ! I bet we are going to be stuck with ESPN for the next couple of days.
I handed him his beer, taking a seat at the end of the sofa while he settled on a basketball game.
“Do you have your schedule handy, Lindsey? We need to go over it. I’ve already pulled up a map of the campus. I want to familiarize myself with the various buildings where you have classes. I will plot out the time and location on the map so that I can conduct some surveillance while you are in class.”
“Yeah, sure. I’ll go get it.”
Taz and I spent the next hour (during commercials) with my schedule.
He had a computerized map on his government-issued laptop that he used to mark locations and times of my classes for each day of the school week.
He then pulled up info on all of my professors. He made a quick call to someone who was able to electronically send him a roster of all of the other students in my classes.
“Oh, I see here that Kazwell is in two of your classes this semester, Lindsey. It looks like he’s in your English Composition III class and Physics II.”
“His name is Kyzer, and I think you know that by now.”
He smirked and continued entering data into his laptop. My phone rang and I grabbed my purse to retrieve it. It was Kyzer.
“I’m going to take this in my room,” I said, heading down the hall.
“Hey,” I answered.
“Hey, Lindsey. I just wanted to check and make sure that everything was alright.”
“Thanks, Kyzer. Listen, I’m sorry about the way that Taz behaved. It seems my stepfather is a worrywart and sent Taz here to look after me.”
“Is this because of those roses you received?”
“Partly. The roses are being tested at some government lab.”
“Tested? For what?”
“I don’t know,” I shrugged. “I personally think it’s an over-reaction. I’m sure they think my father is involved in some way.”
“Are you sure you don’t want me to pick you up for school tomorrow, Lindsey?”
“Actually, that’s covered now. It seems that is one of Taz’s responsibilities while he’s here. But hey, I’ll see you at school. Do you want to have lunch tomorrow?”
“That sounds great,” he replied. “Try not to worry. I’m sure all of this will blow over and turn out to be nothing.”
“I’m sure you’re right. Goodnight Kyzer.”
I went in and took a shower while the sound of the television blasting the basketball game droned on. I was dressed in my pajamas when Darcy finally came home.
