“There’s my favorite Sloane,” he answered.
“I’m your only Sloane. And I have some juicy gossip for you.”
He groaned. “I’d love to hear it, but right now I’m in the middle of an online lecture. Tell me about it tomorrow?”
“Okay, but it’s really juicy…”
“Give me a hint.”
“I kind of, sort of, made a sex agreement with Knox and Logan.”
“EXCUSE ME WHAT?”
“I’ll give you the details tomorrow.”
“Bitch, don’t even,” he snapped. “I can’t go back to listening to my lecture now. Are you at home? I’ll be over in fifteen.”
“No! Stay there. I’m trying to focus on writing a paper.”
But he had already hung up.
When I turned around, Morgan was staring at me. “My friend is coming over. Jayden. He’s on the approved list.”
She nodded once. “This is acceptable.”
I had to turn around so she couldn’t see me roll my eyes. A week together and I was already getting sick of her. She acted like this washerapartment, rather than us being co-renters!
Jayden arrived a lot quicker than I expected—and his twin was with him. “We ran some stop signs,” Bryson explained when I commented on it.
“Why are we talking about traffic?” Jayden demanded. “Honey, tell useverything.”
Morgan closed her textbook, sighed, then stood up from the couch. “Since you’re apparently occupying the living room now, I’m going to study in my room. I’m waiting on Chinese food to be delivered, so please answer the door when it arrives.”
“Is the delivery guy on the approved visitor list?” I deadpanned.
“That is only for visitors whoenterthe apartment,” she replied with an amount of seriousness normally reserved for Secret Service agents.
As soon as Morgan was gone, the twins raised their eyebrows at me. “Approved visitor list?” Bryson asked.
Jayden slapped at him. “No. Shut up. We can listen to roommate drama later. What is this about asex agreement?”
I spent a few minutes catching them up on everything that had happened this week.
“You waitedthree business daysto tell us about this?” Bryson demanded.
“I was waiting until something actually happened. In case it didn’t pan out.”
“Speaking of panning out, you may not be aware of the time and/or date, but it’s Thursday nightright freaking now,”Jayden hissed. “When are you guys doing this? Do you need to leave soon? Or did it happen before we got here?” He started sniffing the air.
“Ew, gross! Stop that!”
“It doesn’t smell like sex,” he muttered. “But hey! This is the perfect situation for you! Hot, sweaty, hetero group sex withbeautiful football gods! With no strings attached! I’d throw my brother in front of a bus for that kind of opportunity.”
Bryson flinched. “Dude, I’mright here.”
“I said what I said. Honey, this is amazing!”
Bryson made a face.
