Juliet

I’m left alone on a couch when Ben is summoned by his teammates to help contain a situation. I stand and sway; it feels like the ground is moving below me. If I can find Chase and talk to him, maybe I can figure out this sex thing with Ben. Of course, seeking out Chase to progress my relationship with Ben is probably one of the worst ideas I’ve ever had. But when alcohol takes over, so do bad decisions. I’m sure a bad decision led to whatever situation Ben is now dealing with in the other room.

I head toward the kitchen and the keg and spot Chase with Tina, the Wonder Artist. Ugh. I can’t stand the idea of her with Chase, mostly because they seem to have so much in common. When Chase glances over Tina’s shoulder, he catches my eye. They yell at each other as I walk by, attempting a conversation over the loud music. Tipsy, inspired by the tune, and knowing I look kind of hot, I saunter past. His gaze warms me from head to toe.

As I bend over the keg, one of Ben’s teammates grabs the nozzle for me. “I’ll help you with that, Jules.”

I smile and accept the help. Apparently the team sees me like a little sister since I’m Ben’s girlfriend. Everyone uses words like “sweet,” and “adorable” to describe me. They could be describing Megan. I guess around Ben I am sweet and adorable. They consider Ben and me high school sweethearts—untouchable. None of the other players even flirt with me. My relationship with Ben is so…grown up. Solidly settled. It’s exactly what I’d hoped for and what I’d wanted.

Isn’t it?

I thank Ben’s teammate for the beer and spin to find myself chest-to-chest with Chase. My Chase. I look for Tina. Thankfully, she’s disappeared. Instead of shouting, he leans close to me to talk. “You have that look in your eye,” he says.

His breath on my neck ignites a million sparks in me, the nearness causing goosebumps to travel up and down my spine. I angle my head so I can speak into his ear. “What look is that?”

He takes a step closer. Our bodies are no more than an inch apart. His hand settles on my waist as he whispers, “The look I love. I call it First Week of School Juliet.”

I sigh. “That was an interesting week.” I’m in full flirt mode.

“It didn’t suck.”

“Well,” I chuckle, “there were some fun parts that kinda did…” I pull away to appreciate his eyes. He’s staring, talking to me without words. Behind him, Tina wanders. “Your girlfriend’s looking for you.” I hold his gaze.

“She offered to let me crash in her room tonight.”

I nod. “Huh.”

He smiles. “Yeah, you know, so my roommate can get laid.” He points at me and squints. “Oh right…you guys don’t do that.”

I scoff and turn to walk away. Stupid jerk. Chase grabs my arm, pulling me back. “I’m glad it’s not because of me.”

I spin around to look into his eyes and, once again, we’re inches apart.
