Page 9 of Broken Hearts
I must have still been drunk earlier because I hardly afforded her a second glance, and she’s worthy of a second and third glance. Even the yellow and blue starting to streak her face doesn’t take away from the bright green of her eyes. Her lashes are long and strikingly black against her skin. Her dark brown hair is pulled back into one of those messy buns girls wear and I can’t tell if it’s short or long.
“I’m Rhett,” I say finally.
“Sienna.”
“Nice to meet you.”
She hums, and the smallest of smiles tips up the corners of her mouth. “Nice is not the word I would have used.”
When Adam pulls up in front of her dorm, she opens the door.
“Thanks for the ride.”
“See you tomorrow in class,” Mav says out his window.
I bolt across the back seat as the door closes on me.
“I’ll be right back,” I tell the guys.
I hustle after her, reaching her just inside of the main lobby of the dormitory.
“Hey, wait up.” I fall into step beside her.
"Following me?" She continues walking toward the stairway.
“I feel terrible. Let me make it up to you somehow. Dinner? Coffee?”
Her brows lift. “Are you asking me out?”
"No," I say quickly. Not the worst idea, but it’s clear she isn’t on board. “Just an apology meal.”
“I’m good.”
“Then, yes, a date.”
Abruptly, she stops walking, and I catch myself two steps ahead of her.
“A date?” Those green eyes pin me to my spot.
I shrug. “Or just coffee.”
“With you? The guy who was hooking up with someone earlier today and made her cry?” She says it like it’s a question.
“How do you...”
“Your buddies were talking pretty loudly. I didn’t get the whole story, but I think I heard enough.”
I open and close my mouth. What the hell do I say to that?
My phone rings. I ignore it, but Sienna glances to my pocket and laughs. “I think you’ve already got your hands full. See ya around,lady-killer.”
She pushes past me, and I let her go. I take out my phone and power off the stupid thing as I walk back outside.
When I’m in the back seat, Mav turns around and regards me seriously. “She okay?”
“Seems fine.” I bang my head against the window. What a fucking day.
“Leave it to you to hurt Sienna of all people.” Mav’s facing forward, so I can’t see his face, but the back of his head shakes from side to side.
