Chapter Eighteen

With a to-go cup of coffee, I marched to my dorm building, seeking the shelter it provided. I had succumbed to my desire of getting out and ended up regretting it when a guy openly hit on me while I waited for my coffee. I almost ran off without the coffee. I would have if the girl preparing it hadn’t called my name at the last second.

There were days when I wondered why the hell I was still here. Why I still submitted myself to this torture. Was it worth it? I didn’t know anymore.

I was half a block from my dorm when I saw Garrett’s truck parked on the street—odd spot for him, since I knew he had a guaranteed space in The Bat’s driveway each time he came over—I had heard Jennifer commenting about it before I stopped hanging out with her and the other girls.

Garrett leaned against the closed door, scanning the area. I shrugged into myself and turned my shoulders the other way. Not that I thought he was here for me; he hadn’t come after me since our kiss two weeks ago. Why would he come after me now? However, I didn’t want to be seen.

I heard approaching footsteps and rushed mine.

“Bia, wait,” Garrett called.

I could act like a stubborn child and pretend I didn’t hear him, but I was tired of running. Groaning, I slowed down, and he easily fell into step with me.

He shoved his hands in the pockets of his faded jeans. “Can we talk?”

I kept my gaze on the path. “I’m busy.”

“I know you don’t have any more classes this evening.”

A knot formed between my brows. “How do you know that?”

He looked away. “Jonah. He knows your schedule, and I was able to get that information from him.”

I shuddered. Jonah was creepy. Seriously. “I have to study,” I lied.

He hurried his steps and halted before me.

Gasping, I skidded to a stop, being extra careful not to spill my coffee on us both. “Eita.”

I dared look up and he had that cute half-grin on. “I told you I like hearing you speak in Portuguese, didn’t I?”

I took a step back. “What do you want?”

The smile faded from his face. “I want to know what is going on.”

“What do you mean?”

He cocked his head to the side. “You know what I mean. I can take a wild guess as to why you haven’t come to the ranch for the past two weekends, but why?” He advanced a step. “Was it that bad to kiss me?”

I gulped and asked what had been on my mind since he whispered my name. “How did you know it was me?”

“Your perfume. It’s …” He pressed his lips tight for a second before continuing. “It’s unique. And then, I saw your eyes right after calling your name and I knew I was right.”

“Oh.” My cheeks flamed while I remembered him telling me he liked my perfume a few weeks ago.

“Tom thinks you’re not coming because I did something wrong, and he’s giving me hell for it.
