game. I invented the
fucking game.
    "Almost. Give me five more minutes."
    The fact that Cassie and I are so close
together isn't lost on him, but Matt nods his head and leaves the
kitchen just as quickly as he entered it.
    "Can we talk about this later, Theo. I've got
to get this ready. I'm slacking at my job."
    Stepping away from her I pick up the
measuring cup of powdered chocolate and hand it to her. "Sure. Let
me help."

    There are many women in history who are
admirable and will be remembered for what they did here on this
earth. Mother Teresa, Joan of Arc, Mary Magdalene, Susan B.
Anthony, and Eleanor Roosevelt, to name a few. Watching Cassie
today made me realize she could easily be on that list. She has
little resources but is such a selfless woman. I'm in awe of her. I
have an infinite amount of resources and I'm a selfish bastard.
     
    After spending the morning at the park
district building, we've fed hundreds of Chicago's homeless
population and cleaned up our mess so the cafeteria is ready for an
event that will be held there tomorrow. I'm tired and really wish I
had a spare pair of clothing with me so I wasn't still stuck in
yesterday's clothes. I'm just thankful Cassie hasn't noticed.
    Most of the volunteers have gone home. It's
just Matt, Cassie, an older woman with a full head of silver, and
me. I'm ready to get out of here but I don't want to leave without
talking to Cassie. We haven't had any more time together since we
were in the kitchen and I'm itching to touch her again.
    "I think that's about it for the day. Do you
want me to give you a ride home, Cassie?" Matt is looking at me
when he asks her the question. I try my best to look unaffected by
the fact that he's trying to trample all over my time with her.
    "My car's here, Matt. Besides, don’t you have
a date to go on? Wasn’t that the whole point of us driving
separately?"
    "Oh yeah, right." He looks genuinely
disappointed that he has other plans besides driving Cassie home. I
don't blame the guy. No date could be better than being alone with
Cassie.
    Sucker.
    "Go. You don't want to be late for your date.
I'll lock up."
    Matt glances at me again and then back at
Cassie. "I don't want to leave you here... with a strange man I
don't know."
    Strange? How would he like a bloody, broken
nose to go along with him on his first date because I can make that
happen? Who knows, maybe I could fix the crooked mess it already
is.
    "Theo's harmless. Go, Matt." She practically
shoves him out of the cafeteria behind the older woman who's
already started to make her way out of the building. Cassie turns
back to me and we're the only two people left in the room. I want
to say something but I'm suddenly speechless and unsure of what to
say next, which is so unlike me.
    Shit.
    I act like an entirely different person
around her. I want the old Theo back who would say something crass,
kiss her, and then take her home and fuck her.
    "You don't have to stick around, Theo. I'm
just going to lock up and head out."
    "I was hoping we could talk about
everything."
    "Everything? That's pretty vague. Could you
be a little more specific?"
    Okay.
    "I thought we could talk about what happened
between us at Chris's house, and in the pool, and again at Chris's
house and then in the parking lot of the health–"
    "Okay. I get it," she interrupts. Her cheeks
turn a bright shade of red. "Where do you want to talk?"
    "I'd suggest my place, but I don’t know how
comfortable you'd be there and I want you to be comfortable so
you'll speak freely. Why don't we go to your apartment? We can
order food and talk things out."
    I'm hoping she'll agree to this plan easily
because I want to be alone with her again. I want to feel her lips
against mine and I wouldn't reject her if she decided she wanted to
screw my brains out. The wait is an unwelcome torture, one I'll
continue to endure if I need to, but I'd love it if we could stop
the back and forth.
    "We should
