I read about Professor Elan’s background when I applied for school and was impressed. However, I’d never seemed to please her before. While Xander’s news was helpful, it also made me nervous.How can I remain in her good graces?
“You’re wearing your frowny face. What’s up?”
“Professor Elan likes me today, but tomorrow…”
He groaned. “Here we go with the worries. First, take a moment to be proud of yourself. Hell, I was jumping around the class like it was me. Seriously, you need more confidence. You’re insanely talented, and you’re just tapping into your potential. It only goes up from here.”
“Thank you.” I hugged Xander. He always believed he’d make it and lifted me up when I didn’t believe in myself.
“You don’t need to thank me. I’m inspired by what she showed, and I already have ideas on how you can enhance your collection. How about a collab, or are you too famous now?”
“I’ll never be too famous for you.” My voice cracked.
“You still got your sweetness. I guess he hasn’t had sex with you yet.”
I shook my head. “I’m nervous.… I watched porn. Am I supposed to do that stuff?”
“Wouldn’t hurt. Just don’t throw up.”
I hit him. My phone chimed with an incoming text from my mom that came with an attached video.
Mom: Look who’s a famous star!
I played the attachment, and it was my mom dancing with a few other nurses to a song. She looked adorable in her scrubs and crocs, swinging her bobbed.
I showed Xander.
“Oh, my God. I love this hard. Send it to me so I can post it. Tell Agata I said hello, I love her, and she’s the best dancer in the video.”
Nadia: Xander and I love the video. He says you’re the best dancer, and he loves you. I love you too and miss you so much.
Mom: Tell Xander I miss him and thank you for the hats for the cancer patients. They are such a hit.
I turned my attention back to him. “You made hats for cancer patients?”
He waved me away like he didn’t want to talk about it. That was Xander. He never wanted to make a big deal when he helped someone.
Mom: Let’s FaceTime tonight.
I chewed on my lip.
Nadia: We’re working on a collaboration and picking up materials and dinner.
Mom: You’re also only one hour ahead of me. I miss seeing my beautiful daughter, and I have to make sure she’s all right. What’s this stuff Dad’s talking about with you seeing Paul Crane? I told him he’s nuts.
What if she finds out on social media?I had to explain and convince her to get Dad to keep the money.
Nadia: Can we wait until Wednesday? This is my first time hanging out with just Xander.
Mom: Yes. Have fun, and I’ll see you then. I love you.
Nadia: I love you too.
At least now I had an extra couple of days.
But how do I tell Mom I’m an escort?
Xander strutted inside the Hudson as if he had always lived there.
