Darwyn Noél Johnson
Darwyn smiled and sipped his orange juice the entire time Lynn spoke and referenced the fact that he had purchased the orange juice just to make sure there was something for him to drink when he came to her dorm. He nearly choked, but managed to laugh as he sat the half full cup on the counter top.
”Ugh, why couldn’t you have been assigned as my roommate?”
“Girl you know good and well we wouldn’t have gotten any work done. I’m talking about partaaaay up in heeeeereee,” Darwyn replied doing a little dance on the stool.
So, do you know who you’re getting stuck with for a roommate this year?”
“Oh God, don’t remind me. I hope he’s cute, and open minded, but I’m sure my flirtatious side won’t get on his nerves that much,” Darwyn replied with a wink.
Lynn knew all too well the flirtatious side of Darwyn. She had gone to many parties with him and had seen him in action. It didn’t matter if the guy was straight, gay, or whatever, once Darwyn had gotten finished flirting, he usually left with that individual. Darwyn looked at Lynn and sighed.
“I wonder what’s taking them so long. I’m glad I’m a patient being. By the way, this is for you my dear,” Darwyn stated as he pulled an envelope out of his pocket. He laid it on the counter and waited for Lynn to take it. “Don’t say anything, just take it. Consider it an early birthday gift.”
In the envelope was a 24 karat gold tennis bracelet with Lynn’s birthstone in it. There was also a matching necklace, and then there were two 100 dollar bills. Darwyn knew that Lynn wasn’t a materialistic person, but he wanted to keep her mind off of the threat of being found out by this roommate. He would help keep her secret as best as he could.
