do.”
“Unfortunately I do.” He laughed. We headed across town to a retro diner and ordered breakfast. We talked about our meeting with his dad sans the Chase part. Then he started asking the tough questions that I would expect from a protective best friend. I told him my reasons for holding back. He went on to tell me about all the things he found confusing about life, which was a lot. He told me about his on again off again thing with a girl named Lexi. He was enjoying sewing his oats and wasn’t sure he could commit to just her. I told him how I felt about Noah but that I was apprehensive because I didn’t want to us to cling to one another just because we had a past. He said he didn’t see that way, more like we were soul mates. I explained to him that I couldn’t have kids, which Noah had already told him. Jackson said the same thing that Noah had, that he didn’t care. I still found that hard to believe.
“You don’t know what tomorrow will bring. It’s now or never.” It was quite philosophical coming from him. When we were done with the heavy talk he changed to a lighter subject.
“Why do porn sites have a ‘share to Facebook’ button? Who watches porn and thinks ‘You know who would really like this? My family and friends.’ I mean seriously” I nearly choked on my omelet.
“I guess you never know.” I laughed.
“Did Noah tell you about when we got our first apartment together we went to IKEA and we were looking for furniture?” I shook my head no. “Well, I hid in one of the closet unit thingy’s and walked out saying ‘I’m from Narnia.’ and another time I got really drunk at a party and harassed some kid because I thought he was Harry Potter.”
“Jackson, you should totally date with my best friend Ellie, I swear you guys would be like two peas in a pod.”
“Maybe I’ll ask her out sometime. So, tell me about this professor.” I cringed. I swear boy’s gossip worse than girls!
“I’m sure you already know his name, Chase Mitchell. We met during my sophomore year at Columbia, he was a masters student at the time. He was really good looking and we just kind of clicked. We dated for almost two years, by then he had graduated and wanted to be closer to his family. His dad had gotten really sick so we decided to part ways, no hard feelings. We kept in touch and he visited a couple times but I had no idea he was planning on coming back. He said he got the job right before the semester started, we didn’t know he would be my professor but our relationship ended a long time ago.”
“So, I don’t need to worry about you hurting Noah?”
“Absolutely not.”
“But you kissed him.” Ugh! Damn Noah…
“It was a goodbye kiss, nothing more!”
“No need to get all defensive princess, just stating the facts.”
“Sorry, I guess I’m just on edge lately. Things between Chase and I are in the past and that’s where they are staying.” I said firmly.
“Glad to hear it. Are you excited to go upstate later? It’s a nice place.”
“I’m looking forward to getting away for a bit. It will be nice to have some alone time with Noah.”
Jackson paid for breakfast and offered to let me drive home. I practically tackled him for the keys.

“I have to take this.” I said to my dad, who had just came to straighten things out at the police station because that stupid whore pressed charges. I answered my phone.
“Well is it taken care of?” I asked.
“I’m working on it. She got the letter from the dean today. Are you sure this is what you want it could end up backfiring on both of us.”
“Oh, I’m sure. I want Noah Sinclair and I always get what I want.”
My plan was brilliant, luckily I had gotten a certain someone who wanted her just as much as I did to take the bait. Everyone had a price.

“Hey baby. I’m all done with court, I have to go back to the office and do some paperwork. I’ll be home in an hour or so. Do you
