23-All Clear

**Daveed"s POV**

I get to Mr. Fran's office and knock on the door. He calls for me to come in.
"Hello, Daveed. How has your day been?" He asked.
"It's been fine. And how is yours?" I ask.
"I'm going to be honest, I've had better ones. Would you care to explain your personal relationship with miss Saviera Connally?" He got straight to the point and I can see the disappointment.
"It's not at all what you think. Saviera is a lesbian and she's been in a relationship with my friend, Zuri, for five years. Our relationship is strictly platonic." I explain.
"Does this look platonic?" He pulls out pictures that someone took from the night we went to Lust. The three of us dancing together, me licking salt off of Saviera, and us walking out with my hands resting on their lower backs. "How did you meet Zuri?"
"I met her at a bar one night. We just had some drinks and talked about life and what we do for a living. We swapped numbers and would talk every once in a while. Then we later found out I had her girlfriend in my class. Saviera and I always keep things on a professional level on campus. She just so happens to be in my circle of friends. Trust me when I say, Saviera and Zuri have a very strong relationship. They even asked me to be their flower man for their wedding that they're planning on having after Saviera graduates." I may have bent the truth about when Zuri and I met, but we did meet at the bar and I did become her friend first.
"Okay, Daveed. I'll trust you on this. Just be careful because someone is clearly watching you. These pictures were put on my windshield either last night or this morning. I don't have cameras outside of my house, so I have no idea who it could have been." He warned.
"Thanks for the warning. I think now would be a good time to let you know that Saviera and Zuri have been receiving threats from an unknown number and they're also being watched. Last night Saviera's dad asked me to watch over them until things get figured out and an investigation was opened. I will protect those girls by any means necessary."
"You know you're putting your job on the line, right? If the board thinks you're getting too close to your student, or if they see any pictures like this, they won't just take your word for it."
"I know. I appreciate you looking out for me. Shred those pictures for me, if you will?" I stand up and put my hand out.
Mr. Fran stands up and shakes my hand, "No problem. Be careful."
I walk out and go straight back to Saviera's place.

**Saviera's POV**

Daveed wasn't even gone for a half an hour. When he came back, I could see on his face that the meeting was stressful.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Someone was taking pictures of us while we were at Lust. Whoever is watching us, was doing this before I reported coach Rhett and before we had anything going on. This for sure means we don't know which one of us was initially being watched or when it started. Did you happen to see anyone take our picture while we were out?" He asked.
"No I didn't. Do you still have your job?" If he lost his job, I would feel horrible.
"Yeah I may have twisted the truth a little bit and told Mr. Fran that I was friends with Zuri before you became my student. They have no way of proving that to be a lie." I'm impressed with his quick thinking.
"At least Zuri and I won't be carrying guilt, thinking it was our fault that someone might know about us. We're still going to tread more carefully though." I say.
"I also told him that I promised your dad that I would stay close with you two until this gets figured out, so it's expected that I be around you more often than normal. In a way, it kind of makes this a little easier. Being able to hide our agreement basically out in the open." I guess we have the crazy stalker to thank. I'm still going to kill them when I figure out who it is though.
I finish up my school work. Daveed fell asleep on a recliner with his mouth slightly open. I realize this is the perfect time to be ignorant, so I grab a can of whipped cream from the fridge. I put the nozzle in place and squirt a mouthful in quickly and he wakes up in a panic. As soon as he realizes it's only whipped cream, he swallows it and wipes off his mouth, but a drop landed on his black pants.
"I'm gonna get you back for this. Just wait, Saviera." Prank wars were my favorite when I was growing up. My parents, my sister and I would constantly prank each other.
"I'll be looking forward to it. That's for giving me a kicky. Anyway, it's one o'clock now and I'm starving, so let's go grab something to eat." I slide on a pair of flip flops and grab my purse.
"Yeah I gotta go get the test results anyway. Let me change out of my pants that you ruined." He said dramatically.
I laugh and say, "The aren't ruined. Just a little... creamed."
He smirks and goes to change into different pants.
We stop at a little burger joint for something simple and go to the clinic for his results. I go in with him because he doesn't want to leave me in the car by myself. It was a quick stop though because the receptionist already had his results in an envelope waiting for him. When we get in the car, he opens it and says, "All clear. Now the fun is about to start."
