This novella takes place after AnguiSH but before the Epilogue .
Ash
His socks slid against the kitchen floor towards me. His backpack flailed around and smacked the kitchen counter.
“Coffee,” he demanded in haste.
“In your cup. Go!”
He skipped around, pulling on his shoes while stuffing an apple in his mouth. Then he readjusted the pack and the door slammed behind him.
This was our life now. Breaker was in school full time. I was in school full time. And LSU had a personal vendetta against our relationship. I had full days on Tuesdays and Thursdays and Breaker had full days on Mondays and Wednesdays. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, I interned at a veterinary clinic.
Thank goodness it was our last semester. I didn’t think I could take being on this roller coaster anymore. Seconds later, the door burst open. I smiled, facing the window above the sink knowing what he’d forgotten.
Built arms wrapped around my waist. His hips pressed into mine. A groan barreled from his mouth.
“It’s only February. How are we gonna last out the semester like this? I barely see you anymore. And when I do, I’m in such a hurry that—well, apparently I forget things. “
I leaned my head to the side to give him better access and he took advantage, nipping and softly sucking at my neck.
“I have to go—really this time.”
“I know. But Friday night, you’re mine.”
He chuckled against my face, “Ash, I’m yours every night.”
“Yeah, yeah, now go before you’re late.”
“Ok, I love you. You know that right?”
I shrugged, “Prove it.”
He pressed me further into the counter, “I love it when you challenge me.”
“Go!”
One more peck and he was out the door. I swirled the rest of my cold coffee into the sink and washed out my cup. I stayed at Breaker’s house more than I did my own apartment. My apartment and my roommate hadn’t seen my face in days and Stephanie was getting a little ticked off at me. Ozark wasn’t really happy about it either. I constantly was accused of ignoring my friends for Breaker. And it was all true. But I only got so much time with him.
Plus, Ozark and Stephanie were way into public displays of affection and—eeew.
After gathering my laundry and personals from Breaker’s room, I made the drive home. I decided to spend the day studying while doing my laundry. I shoved the key into the door and pushed it open with my bag. Stephanie was on the couch in her bra and underwear, eating chocolate ice cream and crying at something on the TV.
“What the hell happened,” I demanded.
Mind you, the only thing out of the ordinary in this scenario was the crying. Seeing Stephanie eat ice cream in her underwear was just regularly scheduled programming.
“Ozark cheated on me.”
“He what! I’ll kill him.”
“I don’t understand it. Last freaking week he told me he loved me. I didn’t say it back. Maybe that’s the reason he did it. With his TA of all people. She’s a hag.”
“So report him. He’s not supposed to be fooling around with his TA.”
She cut me a look that made me shrink back, “I already did. Ozark came over this morning freaking out. They apparently can’t prove anything since both of them deny
