“What do you want?”“I need to see, River.”“Are you sure, River wants to see you?”“Why wouldn’t she?”“Because you’re the ass who left her this morning when she was expecting you to stay.”“I can’t always stay.”“Maybe you should work on that before trying to see her again, she deserves more than

“Remus?” I ask.It doesn’t make a move, and I find myself feeling unsure in its presence.“Remus, is that you?” It stands to its impressive seven-foot-something height and comes closer. I’m well aware that I should be running for the hills, screaming all the way, but I feel safe in its presence, so

“You are friends with the moon goddess.” He says, slowly enough that I fear the information has managed to break his brain somehow.“Yes.” I reply slowly, mimicking him, and when he realizes what I’m doing, he rolls his eyes in amusement.“It’s just really…it’s a lot, but I’m following as best as I

“But I’m sure he’s been with other women before he met me, and maybe even after.” Saying that leaves a sour taste in my mouth, but I voice it anyway. “he can’t say he’s sexually frustrated if he’s getting the sexual attention he needs.”Aria shakes her head at me.“I can assure you that the only att

“Mars…”“I’m going to the kitchen, have a nice shower!” I say and sprint to the kitchen like my life depends on it, limp momentarily forgotten.“Oh, why does he always catch me.” I groan and bury my face in my hands as I stew in embarrassment for a while, and then I begin to get everything ready for

“I’m gonna shower,” Richfield says when we get to the house. “I stink.”“Agreed.” I say with a smirk as he helps me off Remy.“I’ll heat up some of the leftovers from last night and go shower too, but I think I’ll go out today, some fresh air would do me good.”“Are you hanging out with King, then?”

Virginia: Can we talk after class, please? It was the first thing I saw when I turned my phone on in the morning, okay not necessarily in the morning because the sun hadn't even risen yet. I woke up to pee, and when I was done and came back to bed, I took my phone to check the time and instead freaked out just looking at the message from Virginia because I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I never added her contact details to my short contact list. I sat for a while just string at the phone and her message, and I only came to my senses when the screen timed out and I was faced with a black screen. When I turned it on again, I was calling Jason in a rush, and when he picked up half asleep, my panicked voice and words had him waking up faster than an alarm could. "Calm down Rose, relax and tell me what's going on. Whose number do you have?" He rushed to calm me down, because I was obviously not making much sense with what I'd said earlier. "Virginia, her number...she sent me a

"Sit" Jason said pointing to a bed as soon as we entered his dorm. It was nothing like mine. It was bigger, spacious. And cluttered...one side more than the other. And it wasn't the side I was commanded to sit at...I guess this is a case of like boyfriend like girlfriend. The room was painted light green, unlike mine and Sienna's room. It had posters of football clubs and players, and what I was guessing was Matt's side had posters of rock bands as well. He had a huge calendar that had a picture of a black misshapen guitar on it. The three wooden shelves above his bed was filled and overflowing almost to it's breaking point with books and papers, other knickknacks and...there were even shoes up there. His blue sheets were straightened though, at least I could give him that much. However, he had books and a few clothes on his bed like he was in a hurry and just threw them on there. On his bedside table,he had the same mess. A cup of ramen was in it with the chopsticks sticking out. I'

Alexander and I walked hand in hand to his car after a while. It was getting late and we both needed to go. When I asked him why he didn't just drive us to the park but made us walk, he simply laughed softly and answered. "I may live in luxury, but I'm first and foremost a doctor who strongly believes in healthy living. If I drive myself to and from any place I want to go, I don't think I can brag about my impressive abs by the end of the year." He half joked. I laughed. "Impressive abs, huh?" I laughed. "Oh come on, you've only ever seen me in suits. One day, I'll come out of my car and into the bookshop with only my boxers on, and then you'll not only get to stare in awe at my abs, but my muscles as well." He wiggled his brows at me making me laugh. Then he held his hand out, made a fist, and then made his hand into an 'L' so I could see his muscles like the body builders do. I hunched over, laughing out loud. "Interesting, you'll have to enroll into one of those bodybuilder sho

"Okay, so how exactly do people start stories?" He asked me, a small smile on his lips. I paused to swallow before answering uncertainly."Uhh... " Once upon a time" , or " long ago in a far away land"...Oh! "Or there once lived a prince or princess." " The look he gave me was comical, like he'd sucked on an extremely sour lemon. I laughed out loud. "What?!" He shook his head a little as if to shake my words out of his head. I laughed again."I'm just glad I was more interested in non fiction than fiction. I just...what the hell kind of beginnings are those?!" "They are the beginnings that princesses like me used to love when we were children." I grinned at him teasingly, but the look on his face, in his eyes when I said that... I couldn't place it and it made me feel things in my stomach that I didn't quite understand, but it was gone almost as soon as it came and I wasn't able to figure it out. I cleared my throat awkwardly and sat straight. He caught the change and moved to bring

After Virginia left, I spent what seemed to be hours sorting out the books, I also had a few people coming to pick up some books. Generally, it was a really good business day. By the time five rolled by, I was in need of food, but I had about three customers, a group of girlfriends choosing their books from the romance and fantasy sections. I could hear them giggling and commenting on the various books. They didn't seem like they were in a hurry to go anywhere, however my stomach was trying to stab me from the inside out. As I was contemplating going over to tell the girls that I needed to eat so they needed to hurry, my phone pinged, notifying me of an incoming message. I picked up the phone and instantly smiled, my stomach pains temporarily on hold. Alexander: I'll bet my right arm that you're currently on all levels of hunger. My reply was immediate. Rosette: It's a bet you're not going to lose on any level.Alexander: Anything specific you'd want to eat?Rosette: There are st

I woke up early and with a smile on my face. A smile that had no doubt been there all through the night. I stretched out and sat up on the bed when... "Hello Roomie, good morning. How are you?" My smile instantly dropped. Yeah, Sienna's faux cheery and friendly voice in the morning could that to anyone and any smile. I let out an annoyed breath because how on earth was I supposed to deal with her? "What do you want from me Sienna?" My voice mirrored my annoyance. "Ooo would you look at that, our shy little strawberry has finally grown some balls. How old are you feeling now, I bet you're feeling pretty matured now, aren't you?" I rolled my eyes, good thing I ignored her last night. I didn't even acknowledge her after that, just got up and out of bed, and went for a long soothing shower. By the time I got back into the dorm, Sienna was laying down and on her phone. I ignored her and went about getting ready for my day. I had a class at eleven and it was only seven, but I wanted t
