He chuckles at me and says, “Kenz, that’s just the way he is. Don’t try to figure it out or fix him. You’re not studying phycology.” He walks back to the kitchen to get our breakfast. I guess he’s right. I’ve been trying to figure Young out for a year now.

After we finish breakfast, we hang out just cuddling on the couch watching TV. I love the feeling of being in his arms. He makes me feel safe. “Kenz, we are going to have to get up soon. I have to finish a paper for tomorrow. Do you have anything to do or you want to hang out while I write it?”

I kiss his chest and say, “I don’t want to leave, but I have laundry and I need to go food shopping with Maddie. Want me to pick up something and you guys can come over for dinner?”

He tightens his hold on me. “That sounds perfect, beautiful.”

I walk into my apartment heading straight for the shower. I just step into the hot stream when the door opens. We never lock it, like I said we only have one bathroom.

“Hey, Kenz. You hung over?” Maddie says with a giggle.

“My head felt like it was going to explode when I first woke up, but I’m good now. Did I embarrass myself?” I ask while washing my hair.

“Nah. You were fine. We all were trashed anyway. Campbell was the only one who stopped drinking early.” I know she isn’t in here to talk about how I’m feeling. She is leading up to something. I won’t push her, she’ll tell me when she’s ready.

“I don’t remember leaving the bar last night. Did you guys all stay or leave with us?” She’s quite for a minute, which makes me think I am getting closer to what she wants to talk about.

“We all hung out for a while after you left.”

“That’s cool. I guess you all had fun considering you stayed longer.” I figure whatever it is she wants to talk about has to do with last night. I would just ask what is up, but I know her well enough to know she will get pissed.

“We all had a great time. We always do you know that, but can I ask you something?”

“Of course, Maddie. What’s up?” I honestly have no idea what she wants to talk about.

“Did you notice how Young and Becca were talking privately so much last night? Like they had a secret they didn’t want anyone else to know?” I think for a minute before I answer. I do remember them whispering to each other, I just didn’t think anything of it.

“I did notice, but what about it?” I’m done showering now, so I reach for my towel and wrap it around myself. I step out of the shower to find Maddie sitting on the sink.

She looks sad. “I don’t know Kenz. I guess I just never noticed them that close before.” I slip on my bra and panties, then wrap my hair in the towel. I put on my jeans with a comfortable shirt since I will be food shopping and doing laundry.

I look at Maddie and smile. “Does it bother you that they seemed closer than normal?”

She runs her hands through her hair and lifts her eyes to me. “Shit Kenz, I don’t know. It shouldn’t bother me. I shouldn’t give a fuck, but I can’t stop thinking about it. It got under my skin.”

I brush my hair and notice she is biting her lip. “Maddie, I’m not trying to be a bitch when I say thing. Does it bother you because you like Young or you just don’t want Young to like anyone except you?”

“That’s just it. I don’t know, alright. I don’t know i

f I’m felling jealous because he showed interest in someone else or because I might actually have feelings for him. It’s frustrating as hell.” She puts her face in her hands.

I wrap her in a hug and whisper in her ear, “Maybe you need to talk to Young about this Maddie.” She quickly pulls away from me shaking her head.

“No way, Kenz. I don’t want to say anything to lead him on. I am not sure why I am feeling this way, but I’m not ready to talk about it.” She’s never had a serious relationship. Plenty of men, but she never commits to any of them.

“I won’t push you, Maddie, but know that if you do have feelings for him you owe it to yourself and him to eventually talk about it.”

She give me a nod and hopes off the sink. “When you’re done getting ready let’s head to the store.”

Food shopping and laundry are finally done. I am making lemon chicken, potatoes, and a salad for dinner. The apartment smells so good. I’m in the kitchen cutting up the vegetables for the salad when I hear a knock on the door.

“Come in.” I yell. Becca is finishing a paper, while Maddie is fixing her hair and makeup. That girl has got it bad and doesn’t even realize it. The guys all come in. Young and Dick yell hello while walking to the couch to watch whatever game is on. Campbell comes into the kitchen, wraps his arms around my waist and kisses my cheek.

“Hi, beautiful. It smells fucking awesome in here.” I wipe my hands on a towel and turn in his arms.

“Thanks, its lemon chicken.”

I wrap my arms around his neck and we begin to kiss. He runs his hands down to cup my ass, which in turn makes the kiss more passionate. He grabs my leg and holds it up by his hip. He pushes me back into the counter. I can feel his hard cock pressing against me and I moan.
