~Faith's POV~:
I awoke tangled between Calvin and the sheets. Last night was crazy. Somehow, I managed to separate myself from the bed and walked into the bathroom to turn on the shower. Class started in 2 hours.
**
Clad in black skinny jeans, a white long-sleeved shirt and my Oreo 5's, I did the finishing touches on my makeup. I peeked outside the bathroom, unfazed by the fact that Calvin was still fast asleep.
I shook my head and went about gathering my books and papers for this class. Once I was ready to go, I attempted to say goodbye to Cal. I shook his shoulder lightly and he didn't even stir. I slapped his cheek. "Hey, hey. Wake up. I'm leaving."
I shrieked as his hands suddenly shot up and he rubbed his eyes. He made a face at me, his pretty brown eyes raking my appearance.
"I have class, remember? I'll be back at like 12." He rolled over and buried his face in the pillow. I patted his ass and grabbed my stuff to leave.

"Good morning! I'm sure you know why you're here today but can someone say it anyway?" Lisa's hand immediately shot up and the teacher pointed excitedly at her.
"We're gonna learn how to take care of a baby today." The room buzzed with excitement.
"Alright, young people. Make a straight line here and pick your sex!"

"This fucking baby is gonna drive me insane." Lisa smiled as she held her quiet baby girl.
"Should've picked a girl. Does Calvin want a boy or something?" I looked at Lisa with amazement as I shoved a bottle into the baby's mouth.
"How'd you know?"
"Felt it."
"Hi ladies! How are we doing over here?!" I looked up at Mrs. Morris.
"Terrible."
"Okay, let me give you some pointers."

"So, what you doing today?" Lisa and I walked out of the building to the parking lot.
"Nothing really. Jada wanted to go shopping." I pursed my lips, willing myself not to say anything.
"Ok. I don't know what Cal wants to do today." Lisa wiggled her eyebrows as she unlocked her neon green Toyota Prius.
"Guess you'll find out later, huh?" I rolled my eyes as I got into my Camry.
"Yeah, sure."

"Callie? I'm home!" I set my stuff down on the table next to the front door.
Calvin appeared from the kitchen, wearing sweatpants and a hoodie. "Hi," he greeted me hoarsely. I kicked my shoes off and rushed to him with concern.
"You sick?" He shook his head smiling and he pulled me into a hug.
"Okay.. you're creeping me out."
"Um, hello. Last night? And it's cold." I blushed and went into the kitchen. I sat on the counter and looked around. It looks like he was attempting to cook. "Oh yeah, don't call me Callie."
"Okay, Callie." Calvin glared at me.
"Faith, I'm serious. Let's name our daughter that." I blushed and covered my face. Calvin came and stood between my legs and put his hands around my wrists. "Don't hide that pretty face from me. And you're beautiful when you blush."
I blushed harder but didn't cover my face. Calvin smiled and leaned in to kiss me. I put my arms around his neck and the kiss deepened. His hands slid under my shirt and I kinda squirmed away.
"You good?" I nodded.
"What do you want to do today?" He shrugged.
"I didn't really have anything in mind. Did you have any plans?" I shook my head, staring at the tile.
"Maybe I should clean today."
"No, I'll do it. You did it last time." I smiled at his generosity.
"Thank you. I'll cook later." He smiled back at me and we left the kitchen to go about our business.
