Between Them

James hadn't seen Laura since they parted in Laura's basement apartment this morning after the warm night they had spent together. They always go to campus in their cars.

He started to miss Laura, but his schedule today is very busy because of the last session of the Microbiology practicum assistant this semester, he is preparing for the Microbiology practicum exam which is divided into 5 waves of examinees.

James decided to just send a WA message. "Hi, my Honey, what are you doing? Have you had lunch?"

Not long after, a reply came to his cellphone.

"Hey, Beb! It's lunchtime with Philip in the campus cafeteria. Don't be angry, okay ...."

James read Laura's reply and felt a little annoyed. Why is that man still clinging to Laura, he thought. But he had to believe in Laura, they were engaged now. He replied to the message again. "Okay. Happy eating, Honey. I believe in you!"

Then came Laura's reply. "Thank you, Babe!"
