. Well what did you think about theclass? She seems like she s going to bepretty tough, huh? He playfully bumpedmy shoulder and smiled. Well I happen to have the inside scoopon her, and I believe we can handleanything she throws at us, I said to him. Well, if you have the inside scoop, itlooks like we ll be spending a lot of timetogether in there then.We may need topartner up on a few projects, he jokedback.As we exited the class, we ran intoLandon who quickly whisked Jessi awaywhile she giggled a farewell to me, andsomething about catching up with me later.I shook my head and laughed at the two.You would never have known they justmet a few days ago from the way theywere with each other.When I looked away from Jessi andLandon s retreating figures, I saw Kane.He was leaning against the wall, his armscrossed over his broad chest.His armscompletely fascinated me, thanks to theintricate designs of the tats adorning them.I couldn t believe I d never really noticedtattoos before Kane.Each one was like itsown miniature work of art.Kind of likewhen you see people go to art shows andstand there and stare for long periods oftime on one particular painting.I could dothat with Kane s tattoos.I wanted to knowall about them.I wanted to know if eachone held a secret story behind it, orrepresented something special in his life.And if I was being completely honest withmyself, I just wanted to know Kane.Allabout him, every detail.When we finally locked eyes, Kanepushed off the wall and strode towardNate and me.His eyes kept shifting backand forth between the two of us, beforefinally settling on me as he finished hisshort walk. Hey  He scratched at the back of hisneck  I thought I d see if you wanted tograb a cup of coffee or something.If thisis your last class, I mean. He cast hiseyes back toward Nate, who was currentlyglaring at Kane.Man, boys could be soweird sometimes.Clearing my throat to get Kane sattention again, I said,  Um, sure.Thatsounds great.I just need to run back to thedorm and drop my things off.I should alsotell Jessi where I ll be.You want to meetme on the front steps in fifteen minutes orso?A small smile tugged at the corner ofhis lips, eliciting a smile from me too. Sure.See you in fifteen.Once again being caught up in Kane, Iforgot about Nate standing right besideme.Man, I ve got to stop doing that.Notreally knowing what else to do, I blurted, Oh! This is Nate, by the way. Then Ipaused, remembering my earlierconversation with Nate. But wait, I guessyou already know each other, don t you?I glanced back and forth between the twoof them. Yeah, we know each other, Kanestated flatly as he glared at Nate.Weird.I d just figured they werefriends.Looking at Kane and the way hewas staring at Nate, I was quicklyretracting that thought. Long time no see, bud.How s itgoing? Nate nodded toward Kane.Actingas if Kane wasn t scowling at him as hespoke.Kane s eyes looked Nate up and down,almost as if he were sizing him up.Kanehad a good two to four inches on Nate andwas definitely more built.If they were toever go toe to toe, my money woulddefinitely be on Kane. Good, he clipped out before turningback to me. Go put your things away.I llbe waiting out front.He turned and headed back down thehall, toward the exit doors without even agoodbye nod toward Nate. Well, that went well I think, Natechuckled at Kane s retreating figure. Yeah, what was up with that? Iquestioned.Kane obviously didn t caretoo much for Nate; but Nate, on the otherhand, was acting as thought Kane didn tjust blow him off. I don t really know.We used to bebrothers as in fraternity brothers.Weactually were pretty close a few yearsago.That s why we rushed together.ThenKane started to change and pull away fromus.We let him have the space he needed,but after a while he came to us and told ushe was leaving the frat.Kind of shockedus all to be honest.He would have beenpresident if he d stayed.After he dropped the frat, he got hisown apartment and kind of kept to himselfafter that.  He paused  Well, I guesskept to himself isn t the right term. Hestopped again and looked around the nowemptying hall. How do I put this? He stillhas plenty of company these days, but onlyin the form of women.It s not surprisingto see a different girl leave his apartmentevery night.I could see Kane being the ladies mantype.With looks like that, I m sure womenwere always throwing themselves at himbut that didn t excuse douchebaggerybehavior.It was kind of weird though,he d never given off those vibes to me.He d never actually hit on me either.Flirted a little here and there, but neveractually came on to me, I don t think.Maybe he didn t find me as attractive asthe company he usually kept.Which Icouldn t lie, that stung a little bit, eventhough it shouldn t.I barely knew him andnever got hung up on guys anyway.I don tknow what my deal was lately.One lookfrom a pair of gray eyes and I wascompletely flipped upside down.Thatwasn t me.I needed to put a stop towhatever was happening, like now.This coffee date was going to go awhole different direction then what  olKane probably had planned out in is head big or little one.Nope, Kelsey Rienwas not the type to do the walk of shameout of someone s apartment.This wassomething that I was going to make prettydamn clear.After a quick goodbye to Nate, I headedoff toward the dorms.The sooner I wasrid of this bag, the better.At least in highschool you had lockers.Lugging this stuffaround was going to take some gettingused to.Not feeling like waiting on the elevator which always seemed to take foreverI decided to take the stairs.Our dormroom was just a few doors down from thestairwell and was a whole hallways walkfrom the elevator bays, but ascendingthree flights of stairs with all my booksand laptop might not have been thebrightest idea on my part.With each step Itook, waiting on those damn slowelevators sounded better and better.Finally making it to our floor, I walkedthe short distance to our room and turnedthe knob.Jess should already be back, shewas probably taking a mid-afternoon napto be honest.Waking up early and Jessinever did go well together.Slowlypushing open the door, I fully expected tosee Jess lying in her bed, softly snoringaway after a hard first day of class.What Idid not expect was a pale, bare ass as itpumped away at my best friend.I yelped and slapped my hand over myeyes as I fumbled around for thedoorknob. Sorry! Sorry! I m leaving!Carry on doing & that [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
