“Never can change it up, can you?”

Oak looks irritated. “Why should I? I like whiskey.”

I order our drinks and get cash out to pay, but Oak stops me. “Put it on a tab.” He passes the bartender his credit card.

My brow furrows. “Why didn’t you let me pay?”

He arches a brow. “You know I’m loaded. And I know what you earn, considering I pay your wages.”

Gav clears his throat. “Lets find a booth, preferably somewhere we don’t have to shout to hear each other,”

Oak spots one. “Over there.”

Gav leads the way, literally bombarding through students as if he’s wading through a jungle and pushing aside overgrowth.

“Agreed,” I hear Oak say as I get to the table.

“What did you agree to?” I ask, sitting on the opposite side of the booth.

“That this is the last time you choose where we go for a night out.” Oak glares at me.

“Both of you need to chill.” The only reason I chose this shithole is because of a certain Mexican beauty who is somewhere here right now, but I’ve yet to spot her.

Oak is looking contemplative, even though he’s here to unwind. “Hey, you are here to unwind and not think.” I clap him on the shoulder. “Stop thinking about the Carmichael girl!”

“Eva?” Gav asks, sound surprised. Oops, turns out it wasn’t common knowledge that Oak has the hots for the girl he wanted to ruin to get revenge on her parents.

“Yeah, it seems the girl I intend to ruin to get to her parents is irresistible,” Oak replies.

Gav laughs. “She’s cute, for sure, but I wouldn’t have expected her to be your type.”

Oak’s eyes darken as he straightens. “And what exactly do you think my type would be?”

Gav rubs the back of his neck. “Older than twenty-one.” He glances at Archer. “Clearly, my two closest friends are perverts.”

I hold a hand to my chest. “How dare you?”

“It’s true.”

“Are you telling me you’ve never found a student attractive?” Oak questions.

Gav takes a little too long to reply, making me think that he has found a student attractive. “No, they’re all too young, too immature.”

“I thought that too,” Oak mutters.

“Has anything happened between you two?” I ask.

Oak’s Adam’s apple bobs as he swallows. “I kissed her in my office.”

Gav basically chokes on his vodka, but I’m not surprised. Oak has had it bad for her since the moment she stepped onto campus.

“You did what?” Gav shakes his head. “I thought you want to ruin her family. How does that work if you ruin yourself as well?”

“Hence why I called off all of our one-on-one discipline classes and chucked her out of my office,” he replies.

“Sounds like you did one thing right,” Gav says.

Gav is wrong in my opinion. If you are that drawn to someone, then fuck rules and appearances. I’m not so sure, actually.
