her a warm hug and a kiss on the lips. The young couple looked around to make sure the librarian hadn’t seen them. He started putting his books in his book bag just as Julius walked up.
    â€œAre you Denim Mitchell?” he asked nervously.
    Denim smiled and held out her hand and said, “I am. And you must be Julius. It’s nice to meet you.”
    Julius placed his book bag on the chair and said, “It’s nice to meet you too.”
    Denim pointed at Dré and said, “Julius, this is my boyfriend, André Patterson. Dré, this is Julius Graham, my new client.”
    Julius shook Dré’s hand and said, “I know who you are. You’ve been on the cover of every newspaper in the state. You have some mad skills on the court.”
    â€œThanks, Julius,” Dré humbly replied. “You’re a freshman, right?”
    â€œYeah.”
    â€œYou’re tall for your age, and you have big hands. Do you play ball?” Dré asked.
    â€œA little bit. Mostly around the neighborhood with friends.”
    â€œYou should think about going out for the team.”
    Flattered that Dré had made such a suggestion, Julius answered, “I’ll think about it.”
    â€œGood,” Dré answered before turning to give Denim one last kiss. “I hate to leave you two, but I have to go work out. I’ll see you later.”
    Denim blushed and said, “Have a good workout.”
    â€œI will,” he replied. “Julius, you’re in good hands, and take care of my girl for me while I’m gone.”
    Julius gave Dré one last handshake before he walked away and said, “I’ll try.”
    Denim turned to Julius and asked, “Are you ready to get started?”
    â€œI guess,” he answered as he sat down and opened up his book.
    â€œOkay, we have an hour, so show me what you’re studying in your class and what you have the most problem with, and we’ll go from there.”
    He smiled and began to show Denim his lesson plan. An hour later she felt like she had made a lot of progress with Julius.
    â€œYou did great, Julius. You’ll have that A in no time.”
    Julius gathered his books and said, “I hope so. I appreciate you helping me.”
    â€œIt’s my pleasure,” she answered as she checked her cell phone for messages.
    â€œThanks again,” he said as he handed her the money to pay for his session.
    She tucked the money into her pocket and said, “You don’t have to pay me daily if you don’t want to. You can do whatever is easiest for you and your parents.”
    â€œI know, but I’d rather do it this way, if it’s okay with you.”
    â€œCool,” she answered they walked toward the exit together. Once outside Julius noticed his father parked outside the school with Zakia.
    â€œWell, there’s my ride. I’ll see you Wednesday.”
    â€œGood-bye, Julius.”
    Julius watched Denim as she walked away, and couldn’t help but admire her curvy figure. He knew admiring her was all he could do too, since she was the girlfriend of one of the most popular guys in school. Improving his grade in algebra should be easy with a tutor as pretty as Denim.
    He opened the car door and climbed in next to his father. “Hey, Dad.”
    â€œHello, Julius. Was that your tutor walking with you?” he asked.
    â€œYes, sir.”
    He pulled away from the curb and said, “She sure is pretty. I don’t know how you’re going to learn anything working with her.”
    Julius laughed and said, “That’s true, but she’s actually cool. I was able to concentrate.”
    â€œSure you were,” Zakia teased her brother.
    Julius rolled his eyes at his sister. “Be quiet, Zakia.”
    She laughed and started singing along with a Rihanna song playing on the radio.
    Mr. Graham smiled and said, “Julius, you’re my son, and I know you don’t
