A WAVERLY OWL KNOWS THAT A GIFT IS JUST A GIFT.

“Can we sneak into the Cinephiles screening room and watch a movie tonight?” Julian murmured into Tinsley’s ear on Sunday afternoon. They were sitting on his dorm room bed, Julian’s hands on Tinsley’s shoulders as he massaged them. She’d pulled a muscle that morning when she’d gone to the gym and tried to work out her murderous energy by kickboxing. Some kind of jazzy music Tinsley didn’t recognize was playing on his Harman Kardon stereo, and outside, the sun was starting to set, filling the room with the last of its dying rays. It would have been romantic, but all she could think about was Jenny and Julian. Julian and Jenny. Had they done it in this room? On this bed? To this music?

“Huh?” Tinsley said, shaking the horrible images from her brain. This had to stop. She knew she was being childish— whatever Julian had done in the past didn’t involve her, and ” that was just the way it was. She needed to get over it. “The screening room?”

“You remember it?” Julian teased, giving her shoulders a gentle squeeze. “Let’s put something romantic on the screen and…” he trailed off.

Tinsley felt the smile coming back to her face. Okay, she told herself, pep-talk style. Let’s just get back to where we were earlier this week. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the feel of Julian’s hands on her shoulders. “And do what?” she prompted, in a husky voice.

Julian leaned forward, his breath close to her ear. Tinsley suddenly felt warm in her black Free People sweaterdress and she leaned back against Julian. He was about to answer when there was a knock on the door.

Julian kissed her neck softly, sending shivers through her whole body, before standing up and opening the door. No one was there, but on the floor was a small package, neatly wrapped in paper. “Looks like my Secret Satan was here,” Julian said with a smirk, tossing the red package on his desk.

“You’re not going to open it?” Tinsley asked, suddenly suspicious. What was Julian trying to hide? Tinsley certainly wouldn’t have been afraid to show him her gifts—not that they were anything to write home about. Everyone had been getting super-dirty things, but all Tinsley had was a bottle of olive oil—she didn’t even want to think about that one—and a gift card to a music store. Just plain random. What was Julian hiding?

Julian shrugged and grabbed the box. “Sure.” Okay, maybe he wasn’t hiding anything, Tinsley thought guiltily. She glanced over his shoulder as he unwrapped the package and pulled out a DVD.

“What is it? Girls Gone Wild?” Tinsley laughed.

Julian flipped the DVD over and Tinsley’s mouth dropped when she saw To Have and Have Not, one of the most romantic movies of all time. “Cool.” Julian pried the plastic covering off it, oblivious to Tinsley’s discomfort. It was one of her favorite movies—you could practically see Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall fall in love on-screen.
