We end up making love that night. After we had our talk. A talk about something he's had on his conscious for a long time now, and finally got the courage to tell me how he felt. I tackled him to the ground then, even without my nightgown on, before he suggested we finish it in the bedroom. And after shifting the mattress a few inches from the wall, we finally settled on lying quietly in each other's embrace. Playing mindlessly with each other's fingers.
"You're goin' to have to learn how to name organic compounds, you know," he whispers.
I nod, smiling against his chest. "And you're going to have to be friendlier to Grej."
He frowns. "I'm not letting him drive me home though."
I laugh into his shoulder, feeling my cheeks warm as he tightens his grip around my waist. "Don't worry… I'll be home, and you can just call me…" I say, turning up to face him with an amused grin. "...And I'll tell you the bus schedule."
