Chapter Thirteen – Callie

As I walked through the doors of his fraternity, I couldn’t help but feel like I was on display. A couple of guys looked at me and made weird cooing sounds as I trekked across the living room floor toward the staircase leading to his room.

“Who are you here to see?” one of the guys asked.

“Devon.”

“And you are?” the guy asked.

“Callie – his girlfriend.” I cringed as soon as the words came out of my mouth. Was I Kara 2.0? Had we not just had the conversation earlier that day that he wasn’t sure what we were, but wanted to find out? Had we not just established that there wasn’t a label on us? Hell, we’d just exchanged phone numbers hours before! Who the hell was I to say that I was his girlfriend?!

And, what if they knew I wasn’t his girlfriend?

What if they thought I was a psycho?

“Hey, Devon!” the guy’s voice yelled out, his head tilted back, pointing to the ceiling as if screaming at it. “Your girlfriend is here!” I felt something swell in the pit of my stomach. Was I really going to pretend to be his girlfriend? Was it that crazy of me to say? It seemed a lot easier than “maybe-future-girlfriend-but-current-fuck-buddy”.

I hadn’t meant for the dude to scream it out like that. I’d only said it because it was easy, not for the whole world to think he was mine. I wanted to roll into a ball and die out of fear that they’d know Devon didn’t have a girlfriend, but no one said anything, so I figured it was the fact that no one really knew him – not completely.

He was a new brother, after all. They didn’t know every aspect of his life.

When Devon didn’t answer, the guy nudged me softly with his hand. “Let’s go up. I’ll show you where his room is.”

I nodded and followed the man up the stairs. He was tall and slender, with broad shoulders and a slim waist. He looked like a swimmer if I’d ever seen one.

“Hey, Bro, your girlfriend is here!” the guy yelled out as soon as he knocked on Devon’s door.

“Your what?!” a deep, male voice growled on the other side of the door and, before I knew it, the door flung open and revealed an older, dark-haired man seething through gritted teeth. My eyes widened in fear as I watched the scene unfold like it was a movie playing out in front of me. The older man looked away from me and the guy I was standing next to, and directly to Devon.

“Your girlfriend?!”

“No!” Devon shouted, looking from me, to his frat brother, to what I could only presume to be his dad, pointing at his brother in warning. “We’re just going out and having fun. Nothing serious!” He looked at me, almost apologetically for a split second, and then his jaw clenched and he looked at his dad, his Adam’s apple bobbing.

I didn’t bother waiting around to hear anymore.
