Devi fought a war inside of her head she didn't know weather or not to call
him. "Why the hell would he want to join me in my class?" she asked
herself. "Ah fuck it why not" she picked up the phone and dialed the
number. Her chest pounded and her stomach turned, or maybe that was the
baby. "Hello?" she heard the voice come on the other line. "Um.hi, Johnny?"
she was starting to regret the call. "Devi? Is this you?" he asked. "Yeah,
listen I got a weird question for you" she rubbed belly.
"Go ahead" he was just a nervous of what she was going to ask, as she was to ask him. "Will you come with me to my lamas class with me as my partner?" she blurted out. "Oh um Devi man I don't know, I'm not sure I am the best guy." He sounded confused. "Please, I have no one else" she begged "I guess so I'll pick you up in front of your apartment" he hung up the phone.
Johnny sat on his couch and pulled on his shoes, shoved a small knife in his left boot then thought about it and pulled it back out. "No, I can't take any chances I cant risk it I wont risk it." He said to himself tossing the knife across the room. He stood up and walked into his bedroom he shoved 5 dollars into his pocket and looked in the mirror he ran a brush through his hair and smiled. "Where are you going Nny? You haven't brushed your hair in a while!" Johnny turned to see the burger boy sitting on the table talking to him. "Shut up" Johnny said walking out and jumping into his car.
Devi stood outside her building waiting for Johnny. A strong breeze came by and blew her hair away from her face she warped her arms around herself trying to keep warm. "Come on Johnny hurry up!" Devi complained. A small gray car pulled up in front of her building knocking over the trash cans spilling garbage all over the road. He flung open the cars door and stepped out and walked up to her. "Hey" she faked a smile and walked up to his car. She squeezed into the passenger seat her belly just about touched the glove compartment.
They drove all the way to the school where the classes were held in silence. Johnny and Devi shared an occasional glance at each other but whenever their eyes meet the other would look away. They walked into the gym and took a seat on the floor. A short round women with pink cheeks walked in front of the couples "please sit down" the women said. Johnny sat down next to Devi and listened to the women's orders. "Now fathers or friends, I want you to place a firm hand on the mothers stomach and just be gentile." Johnny lifted a shaking hand over her belly and slowly lowered it his hand touched her belly he felt it warm and firm, he felt a movement in it and he brought his hand back. "What was that!" he cried.
"That's the baby" she answered. He moved his hand back in again and touched it. A smile grew on his face as he felt it move again. "I could get used to this" Johnny thought. "My don't you two look happy together, you two will be great parents!" the women said smiling and walking away.
Devi and Johnny just looked at each other.
"Go ahead" he was just a nervous of what she was going to ask, as she was to ask him. "Will you come with me to my lamas class with me as my partner?" she blurted out.
