6- "Did I Just Say 'Greggo'?"
"You are?" Ari said back at him, awestruck.
"I am?" Greg answered back, as if he forgot what he just said, then jumped in again and said, "Yes I am."
"Of course you are!" Ari said back, and they both turned back, fake smiles and all, to the two Desert Mesa people, who smiled back uncomfortably.
"And who are you?" Sally Jenkins asked Greg, and he tried not to stutter back.
"Greg, Ari's... fiancé." He said, smiling to her.
"You are?" Ari asked again, and he walked up and said, "Yeah I am."
She shook her head and regained her composure and said, "Yes, I know. Silly me. I seem to totally loose my cool around my Greggo."
Did I just say 'Greggo'? Oh God, just take me now Lord! Ari thought, trying not to panic.
Greggo...? Greg smirked to himself. They smiled back at the two somewhat shocked looking board members.
"Well, I do say, how lovely is this?" Sally said, and Henry nodded back, not uttering one word.
They smiled at each other across the rooms when Greg said, "Well, honey, I best be getting back home." He didn't think he should have, but for dramatic effect he leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. He enjoyed more than he thought he would. He scurried out of the room and leaned against the door and sighed. Lance was nervously watching him.
"Don't even get me started with you, boy." Greg warned, and Lance smiled and walked the opposite direction. Greg had no choice but to head home and wait for word from Ari. Plus, he had to go to work.
"Well, I should tell you Miss Whitacre, we would have been hesitant to allow a single mother into our college, especially one of such age restrictions..."
"I'm eighteen, you know, turned eighteen while I was in the coma."
"Yes, we know. We will not hold this against you, because you seem to be very happily engaged to that Greg fellow. We can't write anything in stone yet, but off the record I will just say welcome to Desert Mesa."
"Thank you so much, Mrs. Jenkins and Mr. Roberts. You will not regret it."
"Congratulations on the baby."
"I'm not a super genius. I'm just a normal one."
