"She'll come around, Con.” Cole offers me a tentative smile. “She's just been through hell. The last thing she wants is to let another guy close."
"I'm not just any guy though, am I?"
He shrugs. "Fuck knows, Con. We left her behind and look what happened. She probably thinks you're just as bad as them, that you care as little."
"That's bullshit."
"Yeah, well, I haven’t figured out a woman's head yet, and I doubt that you will either, so just go with the flow."
"And now he's giving me girl advice. Fucking priceless," I mutter while he barks out a laugh.
"It's amazing what regular pussy can do for a guy."
I slam my foot down on the brake a little too hard when we come to an intersection.
"What the fuck did you just say about Hadley?" I snap, turning to look at him.
He shakes his head at me. "Fucking hell, Conner. She's really got you whipped, huh?"
"Hadley isn't just a piece of ass, she's..." I trail off, thinking of his girl.
"I'm more than aware, hence the ring on her finger."
"I still can't believe you did that," I say, pulling out slowly, much to the irritation of the guy behind us.
"Neither can she, but she's yet to take it off, so I think she's warming to the idea." He smirks.
"You're fucking nuts, bro."
"Meh, life's fucking good right now. Might as well enjoy it before the next surprise slams into us."
"I'm happy for you—you know that, right?"
'We'll get you your girl, Con. Just give it some time." He reaches over and squeezes my shoulder in support. Although I appreciate the gesture, I can't help feeling like it might be a lost cause. Kenny isn't the girl I remember. She changed during our time apart, and I'm not sure if the new Kenny and I have any kind of connection at all.
The rest of the journey to school is in silence. The closer we get, the more Cole starts to fidget beside me. Back in the day, I'd think he was itching for a fight, but now things are very different, and the only person he wants to get his hands on is his girl.
"You know you only just saw her yesterday, right?"
"Yeah, which means it's been over twelve hours since..." He glances at me and trails off.
"No need to be embarrassed now, I heard what you were doing. Other side of the wall, remember?"
"Sorry," he mutters, although the shit-eating grin on his face says that he's anything but sorry.
"I need to get laid."
"You keep saying that, but we all know it's not happened since you've been here."
"I—"
"Go on, lie to me. I dare you." He pins me with a look that has me slamming my lips shut.
He's right, and the smug motherfucker knows it.
It's not that I've lacked offers since we moved here. The problem is quite the opposite. The good little girls of Sterling Prep started throwing themselves at us from the first moment we pulled up in this very parking lot. I could have fucked my way through both the senior and junior girls by now if I wanted to, I have no doubt. Problem is... none of them were her.
