I saw the looks that Donald and Nate both exchanged, and I grew curious as I looked back at Salem.
“Yeah, we’ve taken care of everything except for who will teach the classes. That’s where you come in. Donald and I have been working on getting grants. We’re certain that we can be approved for them, but I was hoping that you would be interested in teaching some courses. In your spare time, of course,” he added when my eyes widened in shock.
“You want me to teach?” I asked and pressed my palm against my chest.
“I couldn’t think of a better person.”
“I hadn’t thought about teaching again when I left CSU. You know that.”
“No pressure, baby. I just thought you would be a wonderful addition, along with Professor Jimenez. I haven’t asked her because I wanted you to be the first person.”
She had been the only one to reach out and check on me after I left the school. I would love to work with her again.
“How do you know she’ll be interested?” I asked.
“When I first floated the idea by her when we were doing a research project in her class, she mentioned that she thought something like that would be successful and that she would even volunteer to help out in that type of initiative.”
“Then I think you should contact her, baby.”
“You sure?”
“Definitely.”
“What about you?”
“I’ll do whatever I need to support you. You already know this though.”
“Told you she was the best,” Salem stated, returning to Donald.
We continued the conversation before we moved around and mingled with the crowd.
It took another three hours before we wrapped up the opening day festivities and returned home. It had been a great success, and I couldn’t have been happier for my man.
He was in the bedroom, taking his clothes off.
“I’m going to run us a shower, baby. After that, I was thinking that we could have dessert and go to bed. I know that you’re tired.”
“A’ight,” he replied.
I watched him for a while before I walked into the bathroom. He had come so far and done so much. There had been a time when he hadn’t expected to accomplish all that he had. I learned over the last few months that his grandfather had invested in his future, and that was how he had been able to accomplish so much.
His grandfather had been well off and turned over his holdings to Salem, not leaving his father anything. Salem used all that he had to make wise investments and continued to grow his wealth with sound advice from Donald and his mother.
I had been skeptical about meeting her and how she might feel about her son dating an older woman. But she had embraced me with open arms and been receptive to the impact that I had on her son. We got along great, even to the point that we shopped together and had monthly spa days.
Salem had taken what he had and invested it into my dreams as well. I had been hesitant earlier about taking on classes at his center, but I knew that I would be an asset to him. All the negative thoughts that filled my mind when he first asked me stemmed from my experience at CSU. I knew that would not be the case under Salem’s watchful eye.
My man had made a way for me to live all my dreams. Having a gallery of my own where I would soon display and sell my paintings, sculptures, and pottery, and then having a space to teach classes to those who wanted to learn pottery and sculpting was beautiful.
Teaching was in my heart, and it was what made me the woman I was. But I was also an artist, a creative whose true passion could not be denied. He had found a way to weave the two things into one. Hosting classes where I could teach my passion for art was a beautiful dream. But now, he was offering me an extension of that dream by allowing me to teach college courses again.
“What you thinking ’bout?” Salem asked as he climbed into the shower behind me. He grabbed me and pulled me up against his body.
I felt his semi-erect dick pressing against the back of one of my thighs. I rested my head on his shoulder. “You.”
“What about me?”
“You never cease to amaze me. You gifted me with a space to bring my art and teaching together in one place, and you made that a reality for me. Now here you are offering me the opportunity to teach college courses again.”
