stay locked. She loves Gavin and Ari as if they were her own. And I know they feel the same about her. Violet has always been a part of their lives. Ari pretty much thinks of her as the sister she never had. Even though I realize that no one will ever take the place of Isabelle, Violet’s younger sister who died in the car accident with her parents, I know they have a special bond.
And yet, after this year, I have no idea where Violet will be. Nor do I have any idea where I’ll end up studying law. I hate how unsettled the notion makes me feel. I hate the pit that settles at the bottom of my gut anytime I think about it. But what I hate most of all is that for the first time since we’ve met, Violet and I won’t be together.
She’ll be off living her own life.
And so will I.
Chapter Five
“So… any chance you can clear out for the weekend?” Looking hopeful, Mia pauses for just a moment before finishing quickly with, “And FYI- I’m making that request more for your sake than mine.”
I almost groan because that can only mean one thing…
“Carter’s rolling into town, isn’t he?” One of my eyebrows slowly rises across my brow. “And you don’t want any witnesses to the depravity that will be taking place for the next forty-eight hours.”
The sly look she sends my way is rife with meaning. “God, I freaking hope so. Do you have any idea just how long it’s been? Trust me, you do not want to be around for any of that.”
Okay, one- eww .
And two- damned right I don’t.
I made the epic mistake of not finding alternative accommodations for a weekend last year when he stayed with us. Needless to say, I had a really hard time looking Carter in the eyes the next morning.
Those two are ridiculously loud.
And just when you think it’s finally over and people can actually catch a little shut eye, they start right back up again. If nothing else, their stamina is impressive. Halfway through the first night, when I couldn’t take another moment of their porn-inspired soundtrack, I ended up dragging my blankets into the commons area on our floor. But I just couldn’t get comfortable on the ratty couch in there because all I could think about was the amount of jizz I was probably sleeping on.
So no, I won’t be sticking around for a repeat performance of that if I can help it.
Mia and Carter are like an X-rated show waiting to happen. They’re constantly groping one another and making out… like everywhere. Clothing spontaneously explodes from their bodies. Which is exactly why it’s better to get the hell out of Dodge for the weekend rather than hang around like some kind of voyeuristic perv.
“Maybe I can crash with Anna.”
Getting out my phone, I fire off a quick text. A few minutes later her response pops up.
Sorry, headed home for the wknd. Won’t b around.
“What about Sydney?”
I shake my head. “She’s not getting along with Ellie again and I don’t really want to get in the middle of that.” Although… if worst comes to worst, I suppose that’s exactly what I’ll have to do.
Silently we rack our brains for another alternative.
Biting her lip, she throws out a suggestion. “I guess Carter and I could rent a hotel room for the weekend. I mean, that would be kind of fun.”
Neither one of us adds expensive, but that’s what we’re both thinking.
Making a face, I wave a hand dismissing the idea. “No, that’s just stupid.”
I’m sure I could just stay with my grand-
Her voice cuts quickly into my thoughts. “What about Sam?”
Sam?
Well… I guess I could bunk with Sam and his roommate, Roan, for the weekend. It would be a heck of a lot better than staying here and having to listen to Carter and Mia going at it like a pair of energizer bunnies. Been there, done that. Bought the t-shirt. Zero interest in a repeat performance.
“Yeah, I’ll check with him.” I shoot Sam a
