Chapter 10
Boston
Kyle's POV
I register at the Hotel, and drop my things at my room. I go out and find a Chinese buffet to have my lunch. I call the studio manager and he agrees to show it to me in an hour. After brushing my teeth I take the bus to see the efficiency. It has a perfect location for me. It's small, but I don't need a big place. I sign the lease, and the manager tells me to pick the key tomorrow morning. I am tired so I go back to my hotel and call it an early night.
I wake up early and check out, on the way to my new home, I stop to get myself breakfast at a bagel shop. I get the keys to the studio and move in with my backpack. I decide to go and buy cleaning supplies. I spend a good part of the morning cleaning. I don't mind small places but I like to keep things clean. Then I head out to buy groceries. The refrigerator is small. I don't want to buy too much.
I decide I will need to buy a desk that can serve as a table to, a small couch, a couple of chairs, and a small Wardrobe to organize my clothes. That should do it. I decide to order on-line at the Ikea store. I will sleep in the bathtub I have a sleeping bag to put in there. Maybe I will buy a pillow.
For now I will have to sit on the floor and work there on my laptop. I start searching for grants. I find a few that could apply to my project. I save them and decided to walk around to get to know the neighborhood and its people. After six hours I am ready to start witting my grants. I decide not to bother Jessi today she probably has a lot to do after coming back from a trip. I go to sleep trying to project my love towards Jessi.
I wake up early in the morning take a shower and get dressed, then I catch a bus. I am on my way to Harvard. Jessi teaches a class in genetics there, I was able to sign up to audit her class for the rest of the semester. I did have to throw my credentials around and agree to meet with the Dean of the law school, but it's worth it.
I am early. I find the classroom and go in. To my surprise Jessi is already there and looking at me with her beautiful green eyes, she appears surprised. I love how her eyes change color. I smile and say Hey Jessi. Hey, Kyle she tells me and then asks, what are you doing here? Auditing the class of the smartest and must beautiful professor. I was also wondering if that professor would agree to eat lunch with me. Jessi thinks about it and then says, okay, I'll go out for lunch, now go and sit down the students will be here any minute. Jessi tells me. Thanks Jessi, I say and go to find a seat.
I am at the office of the Dean of the Law school. He says, Dr. Trager it is a pleasure to meet you please sit down. I say, It is a pleasure to meet you too Dr. Hamilton. I wonder what he wants to talk about. He starts, Dr. Trager I was wondering if you would be interested in giving a conference to all the students of the law school on your experience negotiating peace. I answer, it would be my honor. He tells me great, would you consider teaching a class next semester on international law? I am in such a good mood after lunch with Jessi, that without thinking much I say, yes. He tells me thank you Dr. Trager, let me take you out for dinner so we can discuss the details.
Jessi's POV
I did not hear from Kyle today, I wonder why? Then as I am going to bed, I feel him projecting an overwhelming amount of love towards me. Does he really love me that much I wonder? I had a busy day trying to catch up. I am glad I did not have to work today. I go to sleep thinking about Kyle I really hope I can trust him again. I hope he loves me enough to earn my trust. I feel complete when I am with him, I wonder if he feels the same way. When we were younger he told me he did, but then he turned his back on me. Enough thinking, I have to teach an early class tomorrow.
After dropping Sarah and Brian at school I go to teach and early morning class at Harvard, where I am a professor. I do some of my research there and some at the pharmaceutical company. I go in to my classroom, I start setting up. I hear a familiar heart beat coming from the hallway. It cannot be a second later I see Kyle coming in to my classroom. He tells me he is auditing my class, and has the nerve to ask me out for lunch. I agree. After all is pretty romantic. I wonder how he managed to get approval to audit my class so late in the semester.
After the class is over Kyle walks me to my lab on campus, on the way I ask him Kyle are you still staying at the hotel? No, Jessi I found a place. I moved in yesterday. He tells me. I say that was fast. We get to my lab and I tell Kyle to come back at noon.
When Kyle comes back, we walk to a nearby Indian restaurant that I like. After we are seated, I say, Kyle do you like Indian food? He tells me with a dreaming expression, I love it Jessi, I lived in India for 6 months 4 years ago. I even learned how to cook a few dishes.
After we order Kyle tells me, I really enjoyed your class Jessi, you are a genius. I smile at him and say, now, why would a lawyer enjoy a genetics class?
He takes my hand in his hands and kisses it, and then looking at me he says, I guess a lawyer wouldn't, but, I have a PhD in agriculture, with a particular interest in improving crops. That involves genetics. During the past 5 years when I travel, while my major interest is peace, I also have had the opportunity of working with local communities to improve their agricultural methods and the quality of the seed they use.
I wonder when Kyle got so handsome and romantic, I smile at him seductively and say playfully, then you are a farmer and a peace keeper. He looks deep in to my eyes and says with a smile, you could say that Jessi. But I could be so much more if you let me he finishes seductively. I blush. Since when did I start blushing? He whispers in to my ear, I love it when you blush. The waitress saves me when he brings our plates.
When we are almost finished Kyle says, mmm… Jessi, what do you think about you, Sarah, Brian and me going to the beach this Saturday?
