this from her for a whole year. Playing dumb when
she mentions Shana. I’m done with the female species. I have to
focus on myself for a change, and not worry about finding the next
overnight accommodation for my dick.
    Just as I’m about to walk over to the
window, I hear a shuffle in the hallway, followed closely by a
muffled, yet angry-sounding female voice. Shortly afterwards, the
doorknob turns. I smile in anticipation of Jade’s familiar
face.
    Only it’s not Jade’s
familiar face . In walks the roommate, the
girl I remember from the picture Jade showed me last year. I see
that she still hasn’t discovered her smile. But then there are those eyes. For a
brief moment, all I can do is look directly into them. For a few
more moments, I am absolutely transfixed, lost in them. A few
seconds later though, I right myself and examine her, wrapped in a
robe with a towel turban wrapped haphazardly around her hair. She
glares at me with a look that could freeze whole countries in
fucking summer.
    I want to say hi, or something witty, or
clever, but all that comes out is, “You’re not Jade.”
    “Well, obviously not,” she spits. “What the
hell are you doing in here, and why?”
    I think that’s my cue to get the hell out of
dodge, before someone yells assault. I stand and smooth out the
creases on Jade’s bed, just the way her OCD likes it. As I turn to
walk towards the door, I catch the angry girl’s eyes leisurely
examining my body, eyes sweeping approvingly across my chest,
trailing down to my jeans and beyond. I said I was done with women,
but this is an opportunity I can’t pass up. I look up and the
steely gaze returns immediately to her face. Her eyebrows return to
their angled and angry positions.
    “Well?” she asks, looking at me
expectantly.
    “Name’s Jackson,” I reply, holding out my
hand, and unceremoniously pulling it away when she looks at it like
it carries a life threatening disease. I clear my throat and
continue. “I’m an old friend of Jade’s, so I decided to drop by and
surprise her. This is my first week at Brown. Glad to see the
welcome committee is so friendly.” The statement comes out which
much more sarcasm than intended. I’m truly amused by how hard this
girl is trying to be unaffected by this situation.
    “Jade’s in class, she’ll be back later.
Usually people who drop by, call first to figure that out,” she
says, trying to sound bored.
    I study her. Drink her in,
more like it. I can’t drag my eyes away from hers. It’s fucking insane . I
feel so damn captivated. But gawking like an idiot is not exactly
flattering. I’m pretty sure I have her rattled. But what I can’t do
is let this seemingly crazy woman know that the feeling is so
mutual.
    “Did you miss the part where I said
surprise?” I say cockily. “Don’t you think a phone call may have
defeated the purpose slightly?”
    In attempt to display some sass, she puts a
hand on her hip. “So I’m sure you can come back when she’s here.
And you can leave now. Some of us need to get dressed and get to
classes. I hear the hallway is a nice place to loiter,” she
quips.
    I don’t want to leave yet. A wise and very
hot undercover cop once told me that one day, I’ll meet someone,
and one look will make me forget that anyone ever came before her.
And standing here in this dorm room, for the first time in my life,
my reaction to a woman is not relegated to my groin. For the first
time ever, it’s my heart that’s pounding…

An excerpt from Scared of Beautiful (Scared Series
#1)
    Maia…
    The sunlight filters through my dorm room
window. I squint, adjusting my eyes to the bright glare. It’s a
typical Providence spring morning. I know I’m late because my
roommate’s bed is empty, made to hotel standards with impossibly
perfect corners. “Shit,” I mutter to myself and fling
