I glare at him.
“Sit,” he grunts, pointing at the floor.
“I’m not a puppy, you fucker.”
When he shrugs and looks away to take another sip from his bottle, I lean against the wall.
“Tell me something no one knows about you.”
I glance at him with an incredulous brow. “What?”
“One thing that nobody knows about you.”
I snort. “Why the fuck would I tell you that?”
“I dunno. Why do people go BASE jumping, or run with bulls?”
A smile teases the corners of my lips. Slowly, I slide to the floor, quickly draping my jacket over my legs when I realize how short my skirt is.
“Rain check on divulging my secrets to you?”
“I’ll mark my calendar.”
The tension and the panic are melting away a little.
Wow, how the hell did he do that?
“Want a drink?”
I shrug. “Fine.”
“Apparently manners weren’t part of your princess classes,” he growls, passing me the whiskey.
I sigh. “Thanks.”
“You’re welcome. Thanks for lying about me fucking sexually assaulting you and almost getting me kicked out of school and blacklisted from a fuckton of law schools.” He gives me a sarcastic thumbs up. “Really. Thanks for that.”
My heart twists as I look down at my hands. “I said I was sorry,” I mumble.
“Are you, though?”
I nod. “Yeah. Truly. That was shitty.”
We’re both silent for a minute, him taking a drink, then passing the bottle to me. My phone’s battery dies and I groan, not that I had service anyway. I swallow a gulp of whiskey and pass the bottle back to him. Alistair coughs lightly.
“In fairness, I did, you know.”
I frown as I look up at him. “Did what?”
“Earlier, you said that when I broke into your dorm room I could have walked in on you changing. I did. But you…ahh…weren’t changing.”
My face scrunches. “I don’t know what?—”
Then it clicks, and my face explodes with heat.
“YOU—!”
He waggles his brows.
