"How do you usually do things with your roommates?" she asked.
“I bunked up with doctors mostly. We barely saw one another, and no one had a private life. There was no need for guidelines. How about you?”
"All right, so..."
Am I making her nervous?I rounded the kitchen counter, coming closer to her.
"Avery?"
"Yes?" she asked, jumping a bit.
"You don't have to be nervous. It's me."
She pushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "How do you know I’m nervous?"
"Instinct," I replied. " You still have the same cues you had back when we were together."
"Aha!" She pointed at me. "So... some things should be off-limits."
"What?" I asked, confused.
"We shouldn't talk about the fact that we dated in high school."
"Why not?"
"I just think it's easier, you know?"
I didn't, but if it made her comfortable, I was willing to go with it.
"Okay. Next topic. I printed my schedule for the week." I pointed to the fridge. "Do you mind if I keep it here? I like to have it at a glance."
Her eyes widened as she looked at it. "You’re gone a lot."
That made me laugh. "I told you that you wouldn't see much of me."
"Right, but... a lot, a lot. Do you ever sleep?"
"Yeah," I said.
"It doesn't look like it."
"The shifts can change, but I still like to print it out and have it here. It's better than always looking at the calendar on my phone."
"I see you always start at the crack of dawn. That means I'll have no competition for the bathroom in the morning." She smiled nervously. "We do need guidelines for that, right? So we don't accidentally..."
"Walk in on the other one naked?" I finished for her.
She gasped. "Sam, do you enjoy putting me on the spot?"
"I fucking do," I replied on instinct.
I tilted a bit closer. She bit her lip.Fuck me.Travis was 100 percent right about the sexual tension.
She narrowed her eyes. "All right. We also need a code of conduct for when the other person has a guest."
"What do you mean, a code? We just have to be civil."
"No, I mean a sexy guest. Should we use the college code of a sock on the door or something?"
