TWELVE
We headed up the stairs,our fingers still entwined. Ford had taken my backpack from me before we got out of the car, and I was too glad I wasn’t the one carrying it to protest.
Back in my dorm, I grabbed a pair of my lounge clothes. I wasn’t sure what we were going to do about clothes for Ford since he only had the pair from his car and an extra pair of sweats, but I figured he could just put on the sweats and wash the others every night if he wanted.
Obviously that wasn’t a permanent solution, though. We’d need to go back to his place to get him some more clothes, or move some of my clothes to his place, or…
Yeah.
I didn’t really know.
We needed to do something, and I wasn’t sure what, yet.
Ford turned around while I changed, leaning up against a wall while he did. Guys were allowed to sleep over in my dorm, as long as they only stayed for a couple of nights in a row, and as long as I talked to my RA about it.
So, when I had my stretchiest leggings on and a gigantic, comfortable sweater, I dragged Ford over to her room and knocked on the door.
She answered a few minutes later, large headphones hanging around her neck and her hair falling in pieces out of her platinum blonde bun. “Hey, Ebony,” she said, though her eyes immediately went to Ford. “Damn. You’re huge.” She looked back at me. “New boyfriend?”
I nodded.
“You know the drill; he can stay six out of seven nights a week.”
I gave her a thumbs-up, and she waved me back down the hall.
“Get out of here, love birds. Have fun.”
The door promptly closed in our faces. With Del, that meant things had gone well.
We got back to my room just as the food delivery driver arrived, and Ford grabbed the food from him while I opened the door.
Inside the room, I turned some music on while we ate. It kept the silence from being awkward, and prevented me from feeling pressure to talk.
I stared at the pile of wrappers when I finally felt almost sated, a grimace twisting my face.
“Shit,” I muttered.
That was a damn lot of food. I’d downed five burgers from a place I knew wasn’t cheap, and two entire things of fries too.
“It’s normal,” Ford assured me. “Werewolves spend a lot on food. Don’t stress about it.”
I nodded, but still wasn’t comfortable with the mass amount I’d consumed.
“Here.” Ford handed me another burger.
I stared down at it; I could definitely still eat.
“Your wolf will be more difficult to deal with if you haven’t eaten enough,” he said, his voice gentler than it had been.
I sighed, and opened the next wrapper in defeat.
When I’d eaten two more of the damn things, the bag was finally empty and I finally felt full.
“I’ve got to pee, but guys aren’t allowed in the bathrooms,” I told Ford, biting my lip. “The guys have their own bathrooms on the other side of the floor.”
“We’ll just stop at both,” he said easily.
It was what we’d done during the day, and thankfully, my wolf hadn’t flipped out about the momentary separation yet.
