different directions towards our respective classes.
    When I walked into my classroom, the children were just getting to their desks and they were full of energy. There was already a fight about to break out in the back of the class between two little girls, and my favorite student, Derrick Fisher, was already crying at his desk. I knew it would be a long day in class, but all I could think about was if and when Kelvin would call. The thought was distracting, but I knew I would have to pull it together and be the teacher that my students needed me to be. So, I cleared my throat, took a deep breath, and told the class to take their seats so that class could begin.
    I spent the next couple of hours being distracted by the thoughts of Kelvin. I couldn’t get over how perfect his smile was. It was nothing like Tim Bulger’s smile. Kelvin had a flawless set of white teeth in his mouth and his lips were so thick and juicy, I couldn’t help but fantasize about lightly biting them as he kissed me. I wondered if he would be picking me up in his fancy Bentley, and if his driver would escort us around the city? Where would he want to go for dinner? Would he want to go come inside after bringing me back to my house? Would I be willing to sleep with him on the first date? All the questions swirled around in my head throughout the morning and all the way up to lunch.
    It wasn’t until the bell rang after recess that I started to worry that Kelvin might not call. I knew that he was gorgeous, and he probably had multiple women chasing after him, and I found it difficult to figure out why he would want to be with me anyway. It was true that I didn’t have a problem getting attention from men—my look was pretty unique—but I had never gotten the attention of a man who looked like Kelvin. He was obviously somebody wealthy and important and I’d never even been around anyone like that, let alone gone on a date. Men who were wealthy and important usually were busy as well, so he probably wouldn’t have time to call me, anyway. I didn’t know what it was that Kelvin Carter Jr. wanted from me, but as the hours passed and the school day crept closer to a close, I began to doubt that it was anything serious.
    At three o’clock—twenty minutes before school let out—as I sat at my desk scrolling through Facebook, my cell phone began to vibrate on my desk. I picked up the phone and stared at the incoming number on the screen and smiled brightly when I realized that I didn’t recognize it. I swiveled my chair around so that my back was to the class before I nervously answered the phone.
    “Hello?” I said anxiously.
    “Hi, is this Lily?” a sexy, baritone voice rumbled in my ear, sending a wave of butterflies fluttering to my heart.
    “Umm, yes. This is Lily. Who is this?” I asked, even though I already knew.
    “Hi, Lily. This is Kelvin. Do you remember me from the gas station last night?”
    How the hell could I possibly forget him?
    “Umm, yes, I remember you. How are you?” I lowered my voice. I didn’t want my class listening in on my conversation.
    “I’m good. Just wondering how you’re doing. How has your day been today?” Kelvin asked. His voice was pure seduction.
    I was shocked that he’d asked me how my day had gone. I couldn’t remember if Tim Bulger had done that at all during our entire six months together.
    “My day has been good, so far. Thank you for asking,” I answered. It took everything in me to avoid saying “It’s even better now that you’ve called.”
    “That’s good. I’m glad.” Kelvin said. “So, I was wondering if you were still available for dinner tonight. Is five o’clock still okay with you?”
    “Sure, five is great,” I said with a gigantic smile and an accelerated heartbeat.
    “Okay. So, what’s your address?”
    “I’m at 1226 Duncan Street. Up by West Ridge,” I said.
    “Okay, great. I can put it into my GPS. I’ll be there at five, sharp,” Kelvin said
