“You’re goin’ to kick ass.”

“I hope so. I wish you were going with me, though.”

“You know college isn’t really my thing,” I said, running my fingers through her hair. “I like workin’ on bikes and I’m good at it.”

“I know,” she said with a sigh. “Do you think you’ll buy one? A motorcycle?”

I laughed at the hope in her voice. “The minute I turn eighteen,” I confirmed. “Can’t be a prospect without one.”

“You’re going to join for sure?” she asked, looking up at me.

I stared at her for a moment in surprise. “Yeah, sugar,” I said finally. “That’s always been the plan.”

“I guess I just thought we’d have more time.”

“More time for what?” I asked curiously.

“More time to just be us,” she said quietly.

“I’m still gonna be me.” I ran my fingers through her hair. “Just with some more responsibilities and shit.”

“Yeah.” She laid her head back down. “I just wish you were going to school with me. You know, be kids a little longer.”

“I’d be gettin’ into debt for school that isn’t even goin’ to help me at my job,” I countered. I wasn’t sure if I was trying to convince her or myself. I didn’t even want to go to college, and I had other plans to make a living, a good living, but it still felt weird that she was going to be doing it without me. She was right. Once we graduated, I’d be jumping into my adult life with both feet. For the first time since we’d met, I wouldn’t get to see her throughout the day.

“You’ll be doing real adult stuff and I’ll still be carrying math books around,” she joked lightly, mirroring my thoughts.

“You know the best part about that?” I asked.

“What?” She leaned up to look at me resting her chin on my sternum.

“I’m gonna have my own place.” I wiggled my eyebrows up and down. “And you can come stay whenever you want.”

“You’re right,” she said with a smile. “As a consolation prize, that one’s not so bad.”

“It’s gonna be good, sugar,” I murmured, kissing the top of her head as she lay back down. “You’ll be goin’ to school so you can get a job and be my sugar mama—”

Emilia giggled.

“And I’ll be workin’ so we can afford to have a place where we can have sex in an actual bed.”

“I wonder what that’s like,” she muttered dryly.

“I’ll show you,” I said, the idea of her naked in my bed making me instantly hard. No interruptions. No worries about being caught. Space for activities. I couldn’t fucking wait.

“How are you gonna show me?” she asked suspiciously. “How would you know?”

The noise I made was involuntary, half snort half scoff. “You know I ain’t been with anyone but you,” I said, slapping her ass.

“You better keep it that way.”

“I was plannin’ on it.”

“Good.”

“Good.”

She was quiet for a moment, but her body was tense and I knew she still had something on her mind. It didn’t take long to find out what it was.
