Chapter 7

Ohmygawd. You’re dating Nick Markov? You lucky slut.

Well. That sure livened up the history of auditing fraud. Penny crammed the phone back into her pocket, chiding herself for looking during class. But she’d hoped it’d been something nice. From Nick. She certainly hadn’t expected her ex-roomie. How the hell could Ashley have found out? If she hadn’t found out from Penny…

It must have been from Nick.

Shit. What had Ash told him? She should’ve admitted she knew Ashley when she had the chance. She pulled the phone back out and stared at the words.

At that same moment, Ashley texted again. So did he pop your cherry yet or what?

Penny’s stomach dropped, and her cheeks flushed hot. Yeah, that wasn’t getting an answer. And she needed to stop looking at her phone.

God, Nick was going to think Penny was a stalker. And break up with her psycho ass pronto.

Ash had probably told him every embarrassing story she could think of. Not that there was very much to tell, but Ashley had never understood Penny’s love for all things cute, adorable, and cuddly. Penny had never done things like get drunk and vomit all over Ashley’s bed or something—unlike her more adventurous roommate. But they had very different definitions of “embarrassing.” What had she ever been thinking to agree to move in with Ashley? She sighed, and the blond girl beside her glanced at her in annoyance. Penny blushed further.

How had she and Ash ever been friends? People could change a hell of a lot in four years.

She threw the phone in her bag and tried to focus on class.

The lecture droned on for another hour before people started packing up their things, and Penny finally retrieved the phone from her bag with dread. A handful of texts waited.

Ashley: Are you gonna spill about freaky with Markov’s chains or am I going to have to come over there?

Ashley: Harrr-harrr-harrr puns are amazing, I’m so brilliant, wouldn’t you agree

Ashley: We should have a drink. Celebrate. Call me.

Penny rolled her eyes. That sounded like a trap and a half. And drinking was Ashley’s thing. Penny still had no idea how to respond, other than to blush furiously. There were other, better texts, though.

Nick: Sushi Friday?

Penny grinned down at her phone in spite of herself. Whatever Ashley had said, she liked his reaction. But that wasn’t all.

Nick: I forgot to say I’m done at 10

Nick: Want to do something later? Is that too late? You probably have class in the morning, you shouldn’t skip this time. But I’d love to see you

Nick: Am I supposed to be playing it cooler than this? ;)

She checked the time. Eight o’clock, a bit earlier than usual for class to end. Plenty of time for baking. She unlocked the phone and typed quickly. Class just finished. Meet at my place? Or yours? Or did you want to go out?

Nick: I’ll go wherever you want me.

She grinned like an idiot, then stifled it when she realized her professor was eying her.
