“Well, have a good night.” I try dismissing her.
She smirks. “I will, but I’ll have an even better one if you and I go up to your room.”
As if on cue, my phone vibrates in my pocket. I pull it out to find a text that causes me to freeze.
Bree: On my way. Kayleigh is with me.
Fuck. Out of all the things I expected to happen tonight, having Kayleigh here was not one of them. I type a quick reply, telling her I’ll see her when she gets here, and then slip my phone back into my jeans.
“Sorry Lace, no can do. My girlfriend is on her way here.”
She takes a step forward and brings her lips to my ear. “I won’t tell if you don’t.”
To be honest, I almost consider taking her up on it. However, the only thing I can focus on is the argument I had with Kayleigh earlier. I can’t figure out any other reason why she would be coming here if not to talk to me. She’s probably just worried I’m going to tell someone – and I undoubtedly should. What she’s doing isn’t safe, and I’m terrified something is going to happen to her.
“Not tonight.”
Her disappointment is clear as she huffs. “Fine. Your loss.”
As she walks away, Jason chuckles. “I’ll never understand how you do it.”
“Says the guy who has hooked up with a new girl every weekend since we got here.”
He doesn’t respond, instead choosing to shrug and smile. Meanwhile, my mind is going haywire. Bree should be here any minute with Kayleigh and I don’t know how to deal with it. I still haven’t determined how I feel. I’m worried, but is it really any of my business? I’m dating Bree and I like her. Maybe I should just focus on that. Besides, I’ve actually missed her the last couple days.
I finally see the two of them come through the door. Kayleigh looks out of place, intimidated by the environment around her. It’s endearing to watch as she glances around and clings closely to Bree. I walk up to them and wrap my arms around my girlfriend’s waist, kissing her cheek and making her smile.
“Who are you looking for?” Brianna asks her roommate.
When Kayleigh focuses back on Bree, her eyes meet mine for a second. “Oh. No one specific. Just seeing if I know anyone here.”
It’s obvious that she’s lying but neither myself, nor Bree, question her on it. I’ve known her reason for coming here since before they arrived, and it isn’t for the party. The two of them grab a drink each and I’m pleasantly surprised to see Kayleigh down a beer. However, my worry grows when she downs two more and starts to become inebriated.
“Kay, babe, maybe you should cool it on the drinking.” Bree suggests, seeing her sway back and forth.
Kayleigh waves her off. “I’m fine. It’s just kicking in quickly because I haven’t had alcohol in a while.”
“Or because there is nothing in your stomach to absorb it.” I mumble the words under my breath, but they’re loud enough to earn a glare from her – though Bree doesn’t seem to notice.
“I need to use the bathroom.” My girlfriend says, more to me than anyone. She kisses my cheek and walks away, leaving Kayleigh and I alone in the crowded room.
She looks down at the floor and nervously fidgets with her hand before gazing back up at me. “Can we talk?”
“About what?” I reply coldly. I don’t mean to be rude but I hate seeing what she’s doing to herself.
She glances around the room. “Maybe somewhere a little more private?”
I act like I’m thinking about it, giving her a minute to sweat it out before I nod and lead the way upstairs. As I shut the door behind us, she looks around. I sit on my bed and she leans against the wall.
“So, what did you want to talk about?”
I watch as she nervously takes a breath. “About what you found today.”
“What about it?”
She bites her lip and I feel my dick twitch in my pants. Good God, not now!
“I just want to make sure you’re not going to tell anyone.”
