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.

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.
