Chapter Nine

I got back into town late Sunday night and I was exhausted. Overall, I’d ended up having a really good time and I promised Monica I’d try to come back in a couple more weeks for another visit. Only this time, I didn’t want her to play matchmaker. She wanted me to keep her informed on any developments with Jaime but to seriously consider not letting my heart get involved. Easy for her to say.

I don’t know if she doubted what Jaime had told me about himself or if she felt he was just playing with my head. So far he’d done nothing to make me think he was playing games but we’re talking about a guy who’s been locked up for almost ten years. So, anything was possible.

On Monday night, after my English class, I drove out to the library. Just like Jaime had said, security had already returned back to normal and the guard waved me on through just from seeing my school sticker in the front window.

I took a deep breath before walking inside the library. I’d chosen the casual look tonight wearing a long-sleeve t-shirt and khaki shorts with my favorite pair of flip-flops. My toes were painted a fluorescent pink color and I felt confident I could keep myself on track tonight. Ray would be there and I surely didn’t need to give him any more reasons to throw snide remarks at me. I’d come to the conclusion Ray was just jealous.

When the elevator doors opened, I spotted Jaime and Ray sitting at a nearby table. I pulled up a chair and sat across from Jaime. I pulled out my notes and let Ray catch me up on what they’d been working on tonight. He’d done some work on his laptop and handed over a copy of his notes to me. Jaime already has his copy and I noticed he’d made a few notes out to the side in the margin.

The first hour proved to be very productive for us and we were more than halfway finished with the overall project. I didn’t even want to think about our work being completed since that could mean the end of our library time together.

I looked up and felt Jaime’s eyes watching me. I tried to hide my smile but couldn’t. I was still getting used to his new look with the short hair and I liked it. I felt his foot bump mine underneath the table and I took it to be a flirting gesture. Careful so his boot didn’t bump my toes, I left my leg propped against his.

Ray got up to go to the restroom and to return a phone call he’d missed. I waited for Jaime to stand up first before I moved my leg away.

“How was your weekend?” He asked.

“I had fun but the driving wore me out. Monica and I had a great time and I miss her already.”

“Did you tell her about me?”

“Maybe.”

So here we were again. Flirting. And I had planned to be so good tonight.
