I let out a scream and then I quickly kiss him so I don’t scream again.

I laugh and start to blush.

“You know they heard that, right?” Seth asks.

“I’m sure they’re standing at the door waiting for something to happen,” I say.

“The one with the glasses is cute as fuck.”

“Shut the fuck up, Seth. You are not going to screw my roommate. They’re my best friends. Okay?”

“You seem nervous.”

I grab Seth’s jaw. “If you even so much as think about touching Maz or Birdie, I promise you I will hurt you.”

“I like you like this,” he says. “You’re meaner. You’re scared but strong.”

“Yeah? Well I also need to be an exemplary college student in economics or else I’m fucked.”

“That’s what you’re failing? Economics?”

“That’s the start,” I say. “I got in trouble and then I skipped class again. I think I’m losing my mind, Seth. I’m in bed with you. I must be losing my mind.”

I inch closer to him and press my face to his chest.

He digs his fingers into my hair and I’m a goner.

It’s like instant sleep for me when he does that.

I’m not sure if I’m supposed to feel bad or not that we didn’t fuck, but I don’t really care.

I fall asleep and that’s the end of that.

In fact, I sleep so hard that I don’t wake up until the next morning.

I find myself alone in bed.

I sit up and look around for Seth.

Before I can say his name, I see a folder at the end of my bed.

I scramble to grab the folder.

There’s a note from Seth.

Figured this would buy you some time.

I’m always here for you, Jaci. Even when I’m not.

I had to leave in the middle of the night.

No, I did not fuck your roommates either.

Even though they looked delicious while they slept.

Icurl my lip and grit my teeth.

I open the folder and I gasp.
