Birdie has this stupid light you turn on that makes the ceiling look like the night sky.
At first I thought she was a dork and into astronomy.
The truth is that she bought it with the faithful fantasy of being fucked in her bed while looking up at the stars.
That hasn’t happened yet for her.
Now I’m the one using the light.
Seth and I are together in my bed.
“I might fail out of here,” I say.
“Fail? Or fall?”
“Fail,” I say. “As in kicked out. For bad grades. I just had to tell someone that.”
Seth turns his head and looks at me. “Bad grades?”
“I hate anything to do with school, Seth. I barely stayed motivated when I lived with Faye. And that was only for her sake.”
“What happens if you flunk out of here?”
“I don’t know,” I say. “I have this fantasy of my parents showing up. To whisk me away. To be pissed at me for ruining their legacy. But at least I’d know who my parents were, right?”
“Are you failing on purpose?”
“No,” I say. “I don’t know. Maybe I am. It’s a lot of attention here for me. I’m the only femaleHeir. The tension with Cullen and Archer. I mean Archer wants to kill me. He claims he has to kill me.”
“You fuck a man who wants you dead, Jaci?”
“I guess so,” I say. “You kidnapped me.”
“We haven’t fucked yet.”
“True. But it’s on the table.”
Seth smiles. “I knew I’d win you back.”
“You didn’t win anything back, Seth. I just like the attention. Three guys grabbing for me all the time. Makes me feel good.”
“Then you better not fail,” he says. “Then you’ll be down to one guy. Me. And I’m not sure I want to fuck some chick that couldn’t even get through college.”
I elbow him. “You’ll fuck anyone. We both know that.”
“Ouch. Still going to bring up the past?”
“You hurt me. You cheated on me.”
“What the fuck do I know about love, Jaci? Huh? Look where I come from. What did you think would happen to us? Plus, we’re good now, right?”
“I don’t know what we are, Seth,” I say. “I know I’m getting tired. It’s been a weird, long day. Coffee, drugs… you.”
“Which is the weirdest part?” Seth asks.
“You for sure,” I say with a smile.
Seth flops to his right side, grabs my side and tickles me.
