Kelsey smoothed down her pajama pants and pulled her tank top down before unlocking the door and pulling it open. “Hi, Greg. What are you doing here?”

Greg grinned at her as he held a travel box with three large coffee cups. “I knew you had to work late last night, so I figured I would bring coffee to you, so you didn’t have to rush this morning.”

Janie and Kelsey shared a look.

Greg held out the cardboard carrier. “I got one for you too, Janie. I didn’t know what either of you liked, so I got regular coffee and a variety of creamers.” He shook the white bag he held in his other hand.

Kelsey glanced at Janie again, but her friend just shrugged one shoulder. “Thank you. That was so nice. We were just about to get ready for classes.”

Greg set the carrier on the coffee table and moved around the room, checking out their apartment. “You girls have a nice place here.” He picked up a textbook and set it back down. “You must have Davidson for World Literature.”

Janie moved the book over to the table along the wall where the rest of her school things were located. “Yeah. He’s boring, but his class is easy if you read the material.”

Greg nodded and continued his survey of their place. “I had him last year. The final is so easy. All you have to do is write about your favorite passage from the semester and why you like it.”

Janie’s eyes shot up. “Thanks for telling me.”

Greg shot her an award-winning smile. “Happy to help.” He turned his dimples toward Kelsey. “I was hoping to give you a ride to campus.”

“Oh, uh.” She glanced down at her pajamas. “We’re not ready yet.”

“I can wait.” Greg continued to smile at her.

Janie walked over to Kelsey and linked her arm though hers. “If you haven’t noticed, Greg. We’re women and we take a long time to get ready.”

“I don’t mind.” Greg wandered over to the kitchen that was open to the living room where they had been gathered.

Kelsey took a deep breath. “It’s sweet of you to offer, but Janie and I are going to drive together.”

“I can take you both.”

Janie shook her head. “Thanks, but we want to take our time to get ready and if you’re waiting here for us, we’ll feel rushed. And that makes Kelsey grumpy. Trust me, you don’t want to see her grumpy.”

“I’m sure she’s just fine.”

Kelsey walked over to Greg, who was still snooping around their apartment. She grabbed his wrist and tried to pull him toward the door. “Thanks for the coffee and the ride offer. It was sweet.”

“I told you I can be a good guy.”

“But… I need to get ready, and I don’t know you well enough for you to stay here and wait while we are in the shower.”

He placed a hand over his heart. “I assure you I would be a perfect gentleman.”

She was getting irritated. Kelsey hated when people were pushy. “I was not suggesting anything like that. I’m not comfortable with you waiting for us. Thanks for the coffee. I’ll see you later.” She practically pulled him to the door.

For a second, she thought she saw anger in his eyes, but he schooled his features too quickly for her to determine if that was what she saw.

Greg lingered at the door. “Okay. Can I see you later? Maybe lunch or something?”

Kelsey muttered her answer. “Yeah, maybe.” She closed and locked the door as soon as he crossed the threshold.

Janie glared at the door. “I don’t trust him. At all. He was way too insistent about staying at our place. And he was snooping around. He’s up to something.”

Kelsey sighed. “He did seem too eager to stay here. It might not be for the evil reasons running through your mind.”

Janie picked up the container with the three coffees and brought it into the kitchen.

“What are you doing with those?”
