Chapter 20
After what seemed like hours, I got to the door and made my escape. I ran through the halls, not looking at anything just thinking about getting to Zack. Then I felt a pair of hands grab my waist and pick me up.
At first I was surprised and then I came back to the real world and found that I was in Zack's arms. I lifted my face and kissed his lips. I didn't care who, if anyone saw us. I just didn't care.
I began to stammer, "Oh Zack, I'm sorry. The panel discussion went so late..."
He was laughing, "Were you afraid that I would think that you were avoiding me?"
Then I realized how foolish I was being. He knew that I loved him and that if I was a little late, it wouldn't mean anything. I started giggling.
He smiled and said, "My love the Q&A session also ran over and I just got out a few moments ago. So although I wasn't running, I was coming to find you."
I threw my arms around him and kissed him hard and passionately. Again I didn't care if anyone saw us. I wanted to kiss Zack and I never wanted to stop. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed me hard. I loved it. I just wanted to kiss him, to hold him, to love him.
We walked to the lobby and met up with Margaret and the others who were on the panel. Margaret had arranged a luncheon for the panel members and their significant others. Zack and I were looked upon as a couple and even those who knew that I was a Nun didn't seem to be uncomfortable with the situation.
I had been talking with a couple of mathematicians and Zack had been talking with some of the others. When we joined each other again he laughingly told me of a conversation he had with Margaret. He said that she was concerned about him hurting me and that he assured her that he wouldn't do that.
I smiled, knowing that he would never hurt me...but would I hurt him? Would I ever make up my mind? Would I ever be able to make the same commitment to him that he has made to me? In my heart I knew that was what I wanted but did I have to courage to actually make it a reality? I was still torn.
After a short while Zack and I left the hotel and walked around the downtown area. We weren't looking at the sights much, we were just enjoying our time together. We returned to the hotel around four o'clock and we went to Zack's suite and changed onto something a bit more dressy.
I had moved my things to Zack's suite, as we had no intention of spending any time apart. I wouldn't be leaving my love until I got on the plane to return to Santa Fe. We would be spending all of our time together.
As this was the final day of the conference and symposium, there were receptions for both groups. Thankfully the two rooms were next to each other, as there were a lot of couples that were attending one or the other, there was quite a bit of crossover. After a rather short time into the parties it was decided that the moveable wall between the two should be opened so that the attendees would have it easier to cross.
We had been at the party for about a half an hour when I heard a booming voice, "My little babushka, why have you been hiding from me?"
I turned toward the voice and saw a bear of a man. Yuri Yeshanko, the man I called the Russian bear. He stood around 6'7" and must have weighed around 300 lbs...all of it muscle. He had been my professor and mentor at UCLA. He and his wife, Natasha were probably the most influential people in my life while I was studying for my PhD. He is without doubt one of the most brilliant men on the face of the earth.
In a second he was next to me picking me up and holding me up in the air. He bellowed, "What is this I hear? Don't you love me anymore? Have you found another to take my place in your heart?"
Everyone around us were giggling, Yuri is very well known in the math world, both as a genius and as a boisterous tease. He kept me in the air for a few moments, then lowered me and held me in a bear hug and after a moment he put me down.
He smiled at me and said, "Come tell me, who is this dastard who has taken your heart from me?"
I giggled and said. "This is the dastard." And I pointed to Zack.
Yuri turned toward Zack and grabbed him and threw him into the air. Then he caught Zack and put him onto the ground.
Yuri smiled at Zack and said, "What do you think of that?"
Zack smiled and said, "That's very impressive."
Then Zack grabbed Yuri under the arms and picked him up and threw a very surprised Russian Mathematician into the air. He then caught him and placed a smiling Yuri onto the ground and laughed, "So tell me, what do you think of that?"
Yuri roared, "You're the only man who could take her away from me and you are probably the only man who could do that to me."
He went on, "But, has she agreed?"
"Not yet." he answered.
He smiled and said, "Don't force it. She will answer when she is ready."
"I know that," he answered and then looking at me said, "I'll wait."
