Ellie

I’ve walked around in an orgasm-induced fog for much of the day. Silly, right? Jackson makes me come once and I can’t stop thinking about it. How perfect the moment was—at least for me. I’m sure it would’ve been better if he’d let me do something for him, but of course, typical me, I was too scared to push.

As I go about my day, I become more and more confident. I’m not even mad that he slipped out of my bed God knows when and didn’t leave a note or text me. He hasn’t texted me all day. And that’s all right. I’m cool with it. I’ll see him again tonight, when he picks me up after work, and then…

Then I’ll jump him.

I’m downright giddy at the thought.

I take the bus from campus back home after class so I can get ready for work. I really miss my car. Maybe I should text Jackson and ask if he’s talked to the mechanic yet? I don’t want to seem pushy…

Ugh, I hate how I second-guess myself.

Entering my apartment, I find my roommate Alaina sitting on the couch, watching TV. She glances in my direction when she hears the door open, her face lighting up.

“Ellie! Hey, hi!”

I shut and lock the door before I turn to face her, confused by her enthusiasm. She’s been the least friendly of my three new roommates. Not that she’s been mean or anything, but she hasn’t been especially nice either.

“Hi. How are you?”

“Good. Great! How are you is the question.” The sly look she sends my way has my mind going blank. She’s watching me as if she knows all of my secrets.

But what could she know?

“I’m good,” I say carefully as I enter the living room, clutching the strap of my backpack. “It’s a Wednesday, you know? Closer to the weekend.”

Which I still have to work, so a weekend doesn’t equate days off for me. I do have Sunday off though. Friday and Saturday night are both going to be busy, though not as much as usual since the football team is playing an away game.

“Yes. Right. The weekend. I’m guessing you’ll be spending it with your boyfriend?” The pointed look she sends me, along with her words, makes me realize that she probably saw Jackson.

But when? Not when we arrived. The house was quiet. They were asleep.

Maybe this morning when he left?

“Um, I don’t really have a boyfriend,” I admit.

“That’s not what he said.” Her tone is knowing and when I continue to stare at her helplessly, she throws her hands up. “Girl, you’ve been keeping secrets! That boy is gorgeous.”

“Oh. Uh, yeah.”

“Having middle of the night hookups with a complete hottie.” Alaina shakes her head. “I must’ve seen him around campus before. He’s really familiar. And really hot, too. I didn’t know you had it in you.”

“What do you mean, had it in me?” Now I’m vaguely offended.

“That you could snatch up a guy like that. Whew.” She fans herself. “I about died when I saw him sneaking out of the house this morning.
