Chapter 12
Jocelyn lay on her bed, a restless heat coursing through her body, dissipating as Melvin left. His departure marked by an unexpected phone call, a first in their shared moments.
It was the first time he’d bailed on her mid-action because of a ringtone.
Even though she didn’t know who was on the other end, she could tell it was someone big deal.
Before Melvin split, he did drop a line, “Don’t wait up; hit the hay early”
But Jocelyn couldn’t catch a wink.
She was wondering, was it a guy or a gal who called Melvin? Was he gonna make it back tonight?
It wasn’t until half-past three in the morning that she finally dozed off.

After three back-to-back morning classes, and no call or text from Melvin over lunch, she got antsy. She hopped onto his Facebook, hesitated for a sec, but still shot him a message. [Are you home today?]

But in the three years they’d been together, she’d never seen him give any woman the time of day. Where did this mystery woman come from?
Then again, maybe it wasn’t about whispering sweet nothings to some dame, but rather he was schmoozing a client, talking shop.
Thinking this eased her mind a bit.
After the last class of the day, Preston caught up with her, “Jocelyn.”
At school, Preston was respectful of his teachers, including her.
Jocelyn turned, “Yes?”
Preston looked concerned, “You and Melvin doing alright?”
