MY BED, MY RULES

KIT

Dinner was excruciating, and not because Fulton’s story of how he found out peanuts grew in the ground was twenty minutes too long. More due to the fact that I was fighting a boner the entire time Faye was eye-fucking me from across the table. Okay, maybe not eye-fucking me. Maybe just looking at me, but that’s plenty enough to get me hard.

Things are finally good between us. Better than good. They’re amazing, and I think I always knew that I was never going to be able to stay away from her. I’ve even noticed that she’s retired her amethyst necklace.

I wish I’d had more time to talk to her at lunch today. I still feel so shitty for what I did to her.

So, instead of working through my feelings like a sane person, I went on a thirty-minute run at night, in the dark, with nothing but my depression playlist on full blast in my ears. Like I told Faye, I’m going to work to earn back her trust. I’ll do whatever I have to. And if I’ve learned anything from romantic comedies, I have to really show her I’m putting in the effort.

Maybe a hot air balloon ride? Or a discreet picnic in the park? I’d fill her—my—room up with roses, but that would definitely be a stupid move if one of the guys were to walk in. I don’t want to hide this. I don’t want to hide her. I want the whole world to know she’s mine. Hiding Faye Hollings is like trying to black out the sun. She’s this burning ball of brightness that lights up every single room she walks into. To hide her away would be a disservice.

But I’m going to have to suck it up because she’s right. The alternative is destroying the friendship Hayes and I have. And I’m not ready to lose either of them.

The guys are usually in their rooms by eleven, and I know for a fact that Hayes is spending the night at Aeris’, so if I’m sneaky enough, I’ll just dip in to see Faye for a bit. Nothing suspicious going on there, right? I mean, she is staying in my room. And I’ll need to grab a fresh pair of clothes because, despite it being night, it’s still seventy degrees outside.

As I trudge up the stairs, I can hear Gage and Fulton cackling about something from down the hall, but aside from that, the house is eerily quiet. Bristol must’ve called it a night, and Casen’s probably doing a deep-clean of his bedroom, or he and Josie are fucking. Just, like, silently.

Shit. Now I’m thinking about sex. Granted, it is a thing I think about a lot, but I wouldn’t mind thinking about something like politics.

I pause in front of my door, fist raised to knock, and that’s when I hear a buzzing noise from behind the partition. It sounds like an electric razor. Is Faye shaving her legs right now?

I knock once.
