Chapter Twenty-Six

LUCAS

I didn’t miss the way Henley blanched when I mentioned a guy’s night out. But I was going mad trying to figure out what it was she wanted from me. It was evident she wasn’t interested in anything besides friendship, with the occasional drunken make out session.

I felt foolish for putting myself out there for her, asking her out and spending my free time with her, only to have her look regretful or embarrassed when I tried to take it a step further.

I scrubbed over the breakfast dishes as I thought back over the night. Henley and Gigi had left hours ago to go back to their dorm to get ready for their classes.

“You okay?” Beef asked as he dumped the rest of the dishes into the soapy water.

“Why do you ask?”

He shrugged as he grabbed the milk from the fridge and drank directly from the jug. “You just seem all weird. Shit okay with you and Henley?”

“Fine. We’re just friends, yeah?” I replied as I picked up another plate.

“So you really want to go out without her this weekend?” He asked, shaking his head.

“Why not?”

His smile broadened as he clamped his large palm on my shoulder. “Because you haven’t left her side since you met her. You hit it, didn’t you? Finally tasted that forbidden fruit. Ready to move on?”

I shook my head but couldn’t help but laugh that he’d deducted that I was just done using her and ready for my next piece of ass. “Not at all, mate. It’s not like that with us.”

“Us, huh? What’s it like?” He asked as he grabbed the tea towel that hung from the stove and began to wipe down the plates.

I shrugged having no idea what to call what Henley and I had. I knew it was becoming increasingly hard for me to have a thought that wasn’t consumed by her. But even as we’d seemed to drift closer and closer, she kept me at arm’s length. This morning as she told me that we’d been drunk when we fooled around replayed in my mind like a broken record. Maybe this confusion was one sided. “There’s something she is keeping from me.”

“Oh,” he said as he rolled his shoulder as if it had been sore and cleared his throat.

“You know something?” I asked, my heart accelerating at the idea that I may finally get a glimpse as to what was keeping her from taking things further. “Did Gigi tell you something?”

“Nothing,” he shook his head as he grabbed the stack of dishes and placed them in the cupboard. “You just... seem different. You really like her don’t you?”

“I don’t know what this is,” I conceded. “I just want her to be happy, yeah? But... I want to be the one who makes her happy.” I knew I was being selfish, but I couldn’t help it. I turned to face him, readying myself for whatever it could be.

Beef hung his head for a moment before his head shot up and he blurted out, “Henley saw that Payton had spent the night here.
