barely seen you lately!”
“It’s been crazy. Besides, you’ve been walking around with your
head in the clouds with a thinking-of-Drake look on your face all the time. I’m
not sure you even realized who was around you.”
“Have I really been that bad?” I asked as I sat down on the bed.
I never wanted Aubrey to think that she wasn’t important to me.
“Nah, it’s been good to see. I’m glad you’re getting back on the
horse. Maybe we can double date sometime.”
“Drake, you, me, and what guy? Did I miss something important?
New boyfriend? Spill, chica.”
Aubrey laughed at my attempt with the third degree. “Nobody in
particular, but a double date would be fun. We haven’t been able to do one in
forever. I’m sure I can rustle up a guy.”
“Yeah, like that would be a problem. Just be careful ‘cause you
know how they fall in love with you at the slightest hint that you’re
interested.”
Aubrey shoved me off her bed. “Like you’re one to talk. Drake
certainly seems smitten. Isn’t he waiting downstairs for you two hours before
his first class just so he can walk you across campus?”
I glanced at the clock and threw on the green shirt. “Crap! He’s
probably already here. I better run. See you at lunch?”
“Sure. I’ll meet you at the café around noon. Now go! You don’t
want to keep your hottie waiting too long. I’m sure the rest of the girls are
drooling over him now that they’ve realized he comes to get you each morning.”
Aubrey was right. Word must have spread like wildfire in my dorm
because a group of girls had been hanging out in the entertainment area on our
floor that first Tuesday morning when I left my room. I hadn’t really gotten to
know most of them yet, but they all said hello to me and knew who I was.
As I headed downstairs, I could hear giggles coming from
outside. It looked like Drake’s fan club had become braver and weren’t waiting
to follow me out anymore. A couple girls were standing next to him, trying to
get his attention as he glanced at the door, looking for me. He looked relieved
as I stepped out. He prowled towards me with a predatory gleam in his eyes.
“Morning, babe,” he said before pulling me towards him for a
deep kiss. His arms wrapped around me, holding me tight as his mouth devoured
mine. He bit lower lip and growled, “Open.”
My lips parted and his tongue took possession of my mouth. My
body melted into his as he squeezed me tighter. He sucked on my tongue, and
chills went up my spine. He gentled the kiss before pulling away and looking
deep into my eyes.
“That’s a hell of a way to greet me in the morning. What did I
do to deserve that?” I asked.
“You deserve that and more just by being you, but I figured I
should make my intentions blatantly clear. I’m here each morning because you’re
here. It’s time everyone realized it.”
I glanced over at the girls who had been trying to flirt with
Drake. They both looked at me enviously before walking away. “I think that made
it pretty obvious. Maybe they’ll tell all their friends and word will spread
through your whole fan club.”
“And maybe I need to do that again when some of the guys who
want you are around.”
“What guys?” I asked.
“Nope. Carry on being clueless to other men. You don’t need to
worry about any guy except me.”
He walked me to my morning class like usual but stopped me
outside the building instead of coming inside. Before I realized what he meant
to do, he gave me another deep kiss. When he was done, he flashed me a smug
grin. “See you at lunch.”
As he walked away, I saw him stop to talk to a group of his frat
brothers. One of them glanced my way and smiled. Drake shoved him to the side
and stood between us without looking back at me. Crazy boy. I shook my head at
his antics and went to class.
