I smiled.

“You know that’s probably going to come back and bite you in the ass, right? I mean fucking the professor’s daughter. That’s quite a stupid move, even for you.”

I shrugged. “I’m not worried about it.” I wasn’t.

“Of course, you’re not. Was it at least worth it?”

“Nothin’ to call home about.” I zipped my duffle bag.

He laughed. “You’re such an asshole. I have no idea how you score as much pussy as you do. Everyone knows you’re a dick.”

“And that’s exactly why. I don’t give a fuck what people think, especially women.”

“You’re worse than you were in high school. You’re aware of that, right? Isn’t college supposed to make something out of you?”

I chuckled. “It made something out of me, I’m just not quite sure what that is yet.”

He sat on the edge of my bed. “You all packed?”

“Mmm hmm.”

“So, you ready for this week? You know Alex would understand if you stayed back. You sure—”

“I’m sure.”

He nodded, understanding. “You know this probably doesn’t make a difference, but Aubrey was fine with us staying at their apartment. Half-Pint even said she seemed somewhat excited.”

I narrowed my eyes at him and scoffed. “You’re right, it doesn’t make one damn bit of difference. How many times do I have to tell you, Jacob? She was just a girl I used to fuck.”

He sighed, not believing my poker-face. I barely believed the shit that spewed out of my mouth when it came to her.

It didn’t matter how many women I had been balls deep in since her.

I. Always. Saw. Her. Face.

AUBREY

Their plane landed forty-five minutes ago.

They would be here any second.

I tossed and turned all night. I couldn’t fall asleep to save my life, not that I ever slept well anymore to begin with. I couldn’t remember the last time I slept more than three or four hours straight, or didn’t wake up from a nightmare.

I paced around the living room anxiously waiting. Alex was in her bedroom with Cole. Yes, that same Cole that made Lucas’ life a living Hell in high school now kept Alex warm at night. I couldn’t blame her. Lucas fucked up royally. She was just moving on with her life. It only took nineteen, almost twenty years for her to finally do so.

I liked Cole.

He was good to her.

But he wasn’t Lucas, and I knew that as much as she did.

“Alright, darlin’,” Cole said, walking into the living room.

I internally cringed every time I heard him call her that.

“I’ll see you later.” He kissed her. “See ya, Aubrey.” He nodded toward me and left.

“Cole doesn’t want to make best friends with the boys before he leaves?” I teased, sitting on the couch, placing my legs under me.
