“That was an accident too. I swear.” Kelsey covered her face with her hands. “He’s never going to believe that. I don’t like him, but I don’t want to hurt him.” She peeked between her fingers. “I hope he’s okay. I lost half my coffee. Do you think I burned him?”

“You don’t like him, huh?” Gwen smirked.

“No! He’s an arrogant jerk.”

Gwen gave a small laugh. “This is going to be interesting.”

Sweet Revenge

Adrian ranthe water in the restroom and wet a few paper towels to attempt to clean up. The entire front of his shirt was doused in scalding coffee and was now sticking to his stomach. Luckily, his shirt took most of the liquid and only hit his thighs in splotches. At least he avoided having to walk around campus looking like he pissed himself. With the morning he’d had, it would have been expected. She also could have scalded his dick. He shivered just thinking about that painful scenario.

He gave up trying to sop the coffee off his shirt. It was soaked and no amount of paper towels were going to help, so he tossed the wads into the trash. Adrian could stop at his car to see if he had another shirt inside. If not, he would run to his locker in the gym, he knew there would be something he could wear there.

Kelsey glancedtoward the restroom sign again even though she had told herself not to. She wasn’t watching for Adrian to come back out, and she absolutely was not worried about having possibly burned him with piping hot liquid.

Gwen’s smirk caught her eye. “What?”

“The restroom sign must be incredibly interesting, or you happen to be waiting for a certain arrogant jerk to come back out.”

“I’m not. I was looking to see if the line was slowing down, that’s all.” Kelsey twisted her head back around to look at Gwen.

“He’s right there if you want to check on him.” Gwen waved her hand in the direction of the restrooms.

Kelsey jerked her body around to see what Gwen was pointing to and knocked the table hard with her knee, spilling the rest of her coffee onto her lap. “Oh my goodness! I’m such a mess today.”

Gwen slid her chair back to avoid getting doused from the spreading wetness. She jumped up, rushed over to the counter, and pulled out a handful of napkins. Gwen threw half the stack over the spilt coffee and handed the rest to Kelsey. “I’ll go get you a refill. I have a feeling you’re going to need it.”

Kelsey dabbed at her shirt and jeans, but it was no use. Was this cosmic payback for dumping it on Adrian first? She was going to have to stop at her car to see if she had anything she could change into. She hoped her gym bag was still inside her trunk.

When the table was cleaned up, Kelsey stuffed everything inside the empty cup and looked for her friend.

Gwen had just picked up their refills when Kelsey joined her. She reached for the cup when Gwen pulled it out of her reach.

Gwen laughed. “I better hold on to this for now.”

Kelsey’s shoulders dropped. “You’re probably right. The way things are going today, I’d end up dumping it onto someone else. I’m stopping at my car to get a change of clothes.”

Gwen nodded. “I’ll walk with you.”

Adrian shifteda few things inside his trunk, looking for a clean shirt. The two he’d found inside his duffle bag needed to be washed as much as the one he had on. He didn’t realize how much he needed to clean out his car. It was getting cluttered and starting to resemble a sports’ locker.

He pulled out two pairs of sneakers, his hiking boots, and several pairs of socks, which he stuffed into a plastic Lacoste bag that was in the corner. His car was messy because his father had required everything to be perfect, clean, orderly, and neat. Nothing could be left inside the vehicle, even in the trunk that no one would see. Since coming to college, Adrian’s car had begun to resemble a typical student’s vehicle and he loved it.

A deep green color under his duffle bag caught his attention. Pulling it out, he had forgotten that his mother had bought him a golf shirt the last time she had come for a visit. Adrian grabbed the hem of his wet T-shirt and pulled it over his head, scrunching it in a ball and tossing it into the plastic bag with the other dirty clothes. He would have to do some wash when he got back to the team house.

A screech a couple of cars down had him grinning widely. He crossed his arms over his bare chest and leaned a hip against his rear fender to watch the show.

“Eww. It’s covered!”Kelsey glanced at the cars on each side of hers, and neither one had bird poop on it.

Gwen burst out laughing. “Wow! How did that happen?” She scanned the parking lot as Kelsey muttered about her rotten luck. Her eyes narrowed as she spotted Adrian leaning against his car a few spots down from them, laughing his ass off. She frowned at him, but he didn’t seem to notice.
