kinds of red, redder than I had them a few seconds ago.
“Breakfast tomorrow?” Jade asks the both of us.
“Sure,” I answer. “Don’t have classes till eleven.”
“I have one at eight so I’ll have to pass,” replies Maia.
I’m slightly gutted to hear this. “Pick you up at eight then,” I say to Jade, before turning to Maia. “Sweet dreams,” I say, flashing her my most suggestive grin before I turn and walk off.
I drive home anxiously awaiting that cold shower. Besides the fact that Maia makes me want to throw her over my bed every time she’s around, she also makes me want to stay up talking ‘til all hours. Most women are confusing as shit, but Maia is on a level of her own. She doesn’t trust men; that I got from her tonight. So, I’ll have to remedy that first. But she also skimmed over the details of her life as if she was recounting a bad movie. I understand personal shit, I have a lot of it that has done some damage to me, but hers I think is on a whole other level. I decide that whatever she wants to tell me, she will, eventually. As long as she doesn’t lie; after Shana, lies are a deal breaker for me.
I took a cold shower last night, but the memory of Maia and I pressed against that dorm wall forces me to take another one in the morning. Jade is waiting outside the dorm when I arrive, perched casually against the small wall along the perimeter, playing with her phone. She walks over, and I have to admit that Jade is smoking hot, even though I don’t look at her that way anymore. She’s also not as hot as Maia. But post a picture of her online with a tag that says lesbian, and men the whole world over would cry tears of joy and sorrow, all at once.
“Hey!” she greets as she falls into the passenger seat. She wears the same irritating ‘ I know what you did’ grin that she wore last night. I sigh, knowing that she’s just giving me time to drive far enough from the dorm that I can’t turn around and drop her ass right back there before she launches a probe. “So, I see you wasted no time in corrupting my innocent roommate,” she says sarcastically.
And there it is . “I did not corrupt anyone, Jade, I returned her the way I found her. Just smiling a whole lot more,” I retort, grinning. This is what happens when Jade and I converse. Two smartasses together.
“That you did,” she laughs, “whatever you did had her walking out of the dorm room wearing the goofiest grin I have ever seen. And that’s no small feat. Maia has turned down every dude that has approached her since I’ve known her. And she very rarely smiles, either. So you, my friend, clearly have the magic stick.”
We arrive at the Bean and walk in. “It wasn’t even like that,” I say to Jade. But oh, how I wish it had been . “I didn’t bang her, if that’s what you’re asking.” And that took every inch of will power and restraint that I had .
“Why not?” Jade asks, confused. I laugh; Jade thinks like a guy, always has. You like someone, you fuck them, it’s simple. Although, that’s never made her a slut. She’s also very selective.
“Because I genuinely don’t want to fuck this up, and it just seemed like Maia needed to know that sex is not the first thing on my mind. I actually like her,” I answer as we approach the counter. After ordering we sit at a table by the window, so Jade can ‘check out the scenery’.
I had decided on the way to picking Jade up that I would tell her I knew where Shana was. I really have no clue how she’ll react, but she does deserve to know. Shana was her best friend, and plus, I don’t like the idea that she would likely castrate me if she found out I lied to her.
“So you two are dating, like, high school dating?” she asks, pulling at her face.
“Guess so,” I say shrugging my shoulders.
“But you don’t date. You may have Maia fooled with your good guy act, but you and I have history. I know how much of a bad boy you’ve been since Shana
