In no time, I’m on my second cup, but I take it easy this time as I walk through the frat house, stumbling as I walk over someone that’s passed out on the floor. At least they’re having a better night than I am.
Friends, by Chase Atlantic, starts playing and I hear people cheering in the living room.
Girls are parading at the table and people are randomly taking body shots.
Hot tears start to run down my cheeks and I swipe them away angrily as I try to break free from the throngs of people.
That’s when I see him. He’s looking around the crowd while leaning against the pool table in casual jeans that cover his long legs, a white t-shirt that spreads across his broad chest and a thin light-blue denim jacket. My breath catches when he turns and makes direct eye contact with me. He lifts his beer bottle to full his lips and takes a sip, his dark gaze fixed on me.
He’s fucking gorgeous. Inky black hair that’s tousled in a sexy, chaotic way. His narrow eyes are framed by elegant eyebrows and his nose is a slender model’s nose. With that well-structured jawline, he could easily be picked up by any modelling agency in New York.
He looks hotter than half the guys here, but it isn’t just his looks. There’s something else about him that draws me in and I can’t point out what exactly. Maybe it’s his stare. It’s slightly unnerving like he’s staring right through me.
Someone bumps into me from behind and I fall flat against my face, drenched in my drink and I want the ground to swallow me up immediately.Could this night get any worse?
“Shit!” I mutter and quickly try to stand up, ignoring the laughs from the other students surrounding me.
“Need a hand?”
I look up to see the handsome guy standing above me, holding his large hand out. His face is blank and I’m not sure if this is a joke because he’s definitely a senior and there’s no way he would be talking to a sophomore.
I take his hand and he helps me up as everyone else around us starts to disperse back into the party.
“You’re crying. Are you okay?” he asks, his voice is smooth, but dangerously husky at the same time, sending a hot sensation to my clit.
The denim shorts and navy cropped top I’m wearing is hardly going to be ruined. Other than facing eternal mortification, I am unscathed.
“I’m fine,” I say, wiping my hands on the ends of my shorts. “Thanks.”
He steps closer and I look up at him confused as to what he’s doing, but he’s just stepping out of the way. There are so many people and not much space to move around.
“Don’t mention it,” he says as his eyes give me a quick once over.God his eyes are so beautiful up close, I think. It’s too dark to see their actual colour, but they’re cat-like with sweeping eyelashes. They’re prettier than mine.
“I’m Hudson.”
“I’m Parker,” I tell him over the music.
Someone pushes past Hudson and he presses into me, allowing me to breathe in his warm, spicy scent. He places his palm against my waist, stares down at me for a second and I hold my breath before he drops his hand.
“Parker?” he asks, his eyes wandering the crowd, before glancing down at me again. “I’ve never seen you around before. What’s your last name?”
“Kelleher. I’m a sophomore.”
“Cool.”
“Look, I really have to go,” I tell Hudson, not seeing much of a point to the conversation any more.
I still have a cheating boyfriend to deal with and right now it’s more important than talking to a hot senior.
He nods and steps away from me. “Maybe I’ll see you around, Parker.”
I nod back and give him a small smile, before turning away and going back the way I came to find Lex.
I doubted that I’d be seeing Hudson again. If only I knew how wrong I was.
