It was a good dinner. Joyful conversation, plenty of jokes, and delicious cooking. Soon after we were finished Justina declared it was late and they had to go home. Cytheria asked if she could stay and sleep over. “Well, Cy darling it is a weekday” said Justina, “but I guess we can let it slip, tomorrow is Friday anyway.” “Thank you mama” Cytheria said, “ill see you tomorrow morning.” “Ehh what the heck, how about no school? Lets make it a teacher day off” Justina joked. “YEAHHH!” Cytheria and I cheered.

Cy and I were getting ready for bed. I was putting on my pj’s when she came over to me. “Cy, hold on, let me get my pants on, wait! don’t look” I shyly plead. “Shhh, Jas, stop it, theres nothing wrong with me looking at you, you are beautiful, foolish, but beautiful.” I was awed but a little taken aback by her behavior. She clasped her hands into mine. I felt so naked without my pajama bottoms on.

Everything in the room seemed to disappear. I could only look into her eyes. I started feeling weak.
