And I would like to see you
Send.
I wait for exactly one hour to get a response. Or at least thatâs how it feels like.
Sparks
Sure
What do you have in mind?
âYes!â I jump from my seat, pumping a fist in the air.
âRight?â Nate probably thinks Iâm celebrating whatever he said. âThose chicks are hot, so if none of them are into the birthday boy, Iâll be next in line.â
I frown down at him. âThe hell are you talking about?â
âChicks.â His eyes are as wide as they can go. âWeâll invite so many chicks. Get you laid. Get us laid. Itâs gonna be grand.â
I glance over at Conor, who is nodding like thereâs nothing to see here.
How can I tell them I donât want chicks? I just want one. A very specific one. One I donât even know for sure is really interested in me. Sure, she practically ate my mouth when we made out. But that doesnât necessarily mean she wants the rest of me. Not when I myself, of my own volition, went and told her to forget that all happened. And she agreed.
I head back to my dorm after trainingâs over, unable to break that to them. They still think that, in three days, Iâll be looking for the chance to hook up among the attendees of my so-called birthday party and thank them for it.
I crash on my bed, facing the ceiling. Damn it, I have it real bad. I always knew I was a whipped fool with my ex, but even that wasnât this bad. At least in that relationship, I was whipped after we officially became an item. Tinker Bell has me wrapped around her pinky finger already, and we havenât even gone on one date.
âWhatâs wrong with you now?â
I jump sky high. âWhere the hell did you come from?â
My roommateâs sitting on his bed, a textbook on his lap and a scowl on his face. âIâve been here the whole time, dolt.â
âOh.â I canât even deny it. I am a dolt. I respond in a mumble. âWhatâs wrong with me, you ask? I have to attend a party for my birthday that I donât want, with girls Iâm not interested in instead of the one Iâm into.â
âWow. I wasnât sure before, but I definitely hate you now.â The deadpan in his voice and expression make me laugh. âAnd youâre really agonizing about this like itâs a terrible thing?â
âYeah.â I sigh with my whole chest.
âWhat if I disguise myself as you?â He shrugs. âI wanna meet girls.â
âWait.â I shift on my side to prop up my head. âWhy are you being⦠friendly, or whatever the hell this is?â
He frowns down at his book. âI wanted to see if what you said was true.â
âHuh?â
He glares, as if I shouldâve read his mind. âThat youâre not an asshole if I get to know you.â
I canât help it when my jaw drops a bit. âMiracles do happen, huh?â
âShut up.â
âHow about this? Come to the party, meet the team, and see that everyoneâs just as obsessed with meeting girls as you.
