The sun was just shining through the glass window, warming the whole room. Kevin smiled as he felt the warmth on his face, and turned to Vicky to see that she was staring up at the ceiling, frowning. Kevin's smile faded and sensing that she wasn't in a good mood, he lightly put his hand over hers on her abdomen. Vicky quickly got up and put on a long, white, button down and her panties. Kevin sat up.
"What's wrong Vic?"
No answer.
She went up to the dresser, finger combing her hair, and adjusted her necklace to the middle of her chest. She kept sighing over and over again, worrying Kevin even more. She stood there, facing the mirror. Her eyes saw Kevin in the mirror, but she avoided looking at him. Instead she stared at herself. Finally, she looked at him through the mirror. As soon as there eyes locked, tears welled up in her eyes and spilled over. She let out a faint sob.
Kevin got up immediately and held her shoulders, looking into her eyes.
"What's wrong Vicky? Is it about last night?"
She shook her head, biting her bottom lip.
"Then what's wrong? Please tell me Vic?"
Vicky took a deep breath and took his hand, guiding him back to the bed. He sat down on the edge, and so did Vicky. When she sat, Kevin grabbed her waist and pulled her onto her lap, holding her close. He waited for her to start.
"Kevin?", whispered Vicky.
"Yeah?"
"I'm going to miss you at college."
Kevin finally understood. "You know I will too Vic! So much..."
Vicky started sobbing again. "I don't want to leave you! I want to stay with you. Our colleges are so far away from each other, we'll never see each other! This isn't going to work Kev"
"Don't say that Vicky, it will work!", he said, holding her tighter.
She put her arms around his waist, as her sobbing turned into sniffles.
"I hope so too".
