Page 92 of That First Flight

I’m just getting tired of her trying to deny it.

Emiline

If you must know… I prefer my head face down in the sheets and ass in the air instead of in these textbooks. Happy?

Avery

That’s my girl.

I know I’m still new here… but are we safe to assume that you’re admitting things with this Logan guy?

Emiline

There’s nothing going on…

So you liked the book, Macey?

Kali

Deflection. I love it.

The book was so hot. I don’t know how you guys read that stuff, but I’ll tell you… I’m definitely addicted and need another one after this.

Avery

At least you have a super hot roommate to help you out when they get you all hot and bothered ??

Not sure that’s such a good idea.

Peyton

Avery, you can’t call your fiancé’s brother hot, that’s weird.

And Macey, I don’t see it being a bad idea at all.

Kali

I agree with Peyton. There’s nothing wrong with roommates with benefits.

Emiline

I’m really so done with this group chat.

“Alright, Kenzie. Bedtime,” I tell her.

“Come on,” she tosses back. “It’s only nine. And it’s a Friday night.”

I give in again because I just can’t say no to this girl. “Fine. Ten more minutes.”

“Okay,” she squeals. “Can we play with your camera? I took a picture of the puzzle I finished with James on my polaroid but it didn’t come out as good as yours do.”

I laugh. “Of course,” I say as I go to grab my camera from my bag.

As I do, my mind wanders to thoughts of how this life is so completely different than the one I used to live. My weekends were for going out and drinking with the boys. Now, they’re consumed with Mackenzie or Macey if she’s not working.

But it’s everything I never knew I needed.

I can barely remember the old me and how I used to be.
