Chapter 14

Sunday is much the same as Saturday, only instead of treading water, it's running. Sunday is 'marathon' day, so I run my 26.2 miles in two and a half hours. I finish my homework Sunday night and get ready for another week at school.

Monday starts like any other day. It's my turn to drive so I pick Jason up on my way. We go our separate ways for our first class. I see Rik from the corner of my eye. He's watching me but I don't make eye contact and he doesn't try to follow me today. I'm relieved because I don't think I could look him in the eye after my Saturday early morning orgasm, courtesy of him. I can feel my blush just thinking about it. Ugh!

My day goes well, and I meet up with Jason and Lacey for lunch. We grab a table and Jason heads to the line to get food. I always bring leftovers on Mondays, so I begin eating. The room around me starts to go quiet and I look up to see a delivery man carrying what looks like a dozen white roses. Nice! Wonder who the lucky girl is.

The delivery guy is looking around and stops to ask someone for help in finding the person he's looking for. I see the student looking around and then makes eye contact with me and stops. What the fuck? He points the delivery guy in my direction and he heads my way.

"Cara Nelson?" He asks, looking at me. I look at the flowers with a frown on my face. Is this a joke? "Yes?" It comes out as more of a question than a statement.
