“Well, I also told him it was a mistake. And I couldn’t believe I kissed him. He took that as a bad “I can’t believe I kissed him,’ instead of it being the opposite.”
“Oh, Kels. Why’d you do that?”
“I got flustered and I didn’t know how to react to Dr. Katherine’s disappointment.”
“It’ll be okay. You can explain to him what happened.”
“No. It’s better off this way. It would never work out. I don’t even find him that attractive.”
Janie laughed. “I thought you might have noticed his bulging biceps and tight buns.”
“I never said he had tight buns.”
“No, you told me he had to have a rock-hard ass for his jeans to stretch across it like it does.”
Kelsey wiped a hand down her face. “I can’t like him. He’s one of those guys.”
“What? Rich, popular, and sexy? I can see how that would be a terrible idea. You need to give him a chance.”
“You swore you’d never date a rich popular guy again.”
Janie shrugged. “Life’s too short to make blanket statements.”
Kelsey frowned at her friend. “What did you just say? Now, I know you’re up to something. It’s a dead giveaway when you start spewing things that sound like a fortune cookie.”
“I can’t help it if I sound crazy smart.” Janie grinned at her.
“That’s not exactly what I was saying.” Kelsey took a sip from her mug. “Seriously, What’s up?”
“It’s too early. I don’t want to jinx it.”
Kelsey jumped up, spilling some coffee down the front of her shirt. “I knew it! You have to tell me now.”
Janie squirmed in her seat. “I promise I’ll tell you soon. He’s supposed to call me today.”
“Is he a student here?”
“Kels.”
“Come on, just a little info.”
“He graduated two years ago. That’s all I’m saying.”
“What does he look like? Is he hot?” Kelsey sat back down, leaning toward Janie.
“Smokin’ and sweet and that’s all I’m sayin’.”
Kelsey reached for Janie’s hand. “I hope he’s smart enough to realize what an awesome girl you are.”
“Thanks.”
Both girls frowned at the door when someone knocked loudly against it.
“Are you expecting anyone?” Janie asked.
Kelsey shook her head. “No one I know would knock on our door at 8AM.”
She set her coffee mug on the table and approached the door. After everything that had happened recently, Kelsey checked the peep hole. She turned back to Janie, who had walked up behind her, and shrugged.
