Ignoring how I was softening, I sat on the edge of her bed as I quickly put my shoes on before I did or said something to make matters worse. My tongue snaked out to lick my lips, and it was something that Lars and Talon had always teased me about growing up. It was a warning to all that I was about to lose my temper, and nothing good ever came out of me losing my shit.
Once my shoes were on, I stood up, then turned to finally face Alexandria. If I were a lesser man, I’d be down on my knees, begging her to forgive me for being an asshole. However, I was tired and done with her pushing me away. No matter what, we were supposed to be friends. She had never treated me with kid gloves before, so I had no idea what all this bullshit was about.
Staring into her troubled gaze, I said, “It might not be fair, but it’s accurate. From the second that your eyes opened, you’ve been thinking of how to get me out of your bed, Alex. So, I’d appreciate it if you wouldn’t insult my intelligence on my way out of your room.”
Alexandria flinched, and that was my cue to leave.
Without another word, I stormed out of her dorm room, feeling so fucking pissed off that I could only hope I worked it out before we both had to show up for our shifts at The Tomes today. Jersey had been adamant about not wanting any drama in her shop, and I liked my job. Sure, other offers had finally come through earlier this week, but I liked the vibe at The Tomes. Plus, if I got another job right now, I’d literally have no time for Alex, and that wasn’t going to happen.
After getting into my car, I started banging on the steering wheel, wondering what the fuck her problem was. It was like she was only agreeable when my dick was inside her, and if that’s what it was going to take to make our relationship work, then that’s what I’d do. I’d keep her pumped full of my cock twenty-four hours a day if need be.
Finally pulling away from the curb, I headed back to my dorm room, admitting to myself that I really did need a hot shower. Though we’d only been able to have sex once last night because of Alex’s condom rule, that hadn’t stopped me from making a mess out of both of us. I’d had her cumming all over my face until she couldn’t take it anymore, and she’d had me jacking off all over her stomach and big tits.
Alexandria had also sucked my dick for the first time last night, and for a fucking virgin, she had turned me cross-eyed with how she had swallowed me whole. At first, she’d been tentative, but after praising her and assuring her that she was doing everything right, Alex had turned into every single adolescent fantasy that I’d ever fucking had. I knew that her jaw had to feel sore this morning, and that gave me a bit of sick satisfaction.
As I pulled up to my dorm, I shook my head with how insecure Alexandria had me feeling. I’d never felt this way about a girl before, and it wasn’t a fun feeling. I wasn’t used to feeling jealous or unsure. Not for nothing, I hadn’t had to work that hard for a girl before Alex, so this was new territory for me. Nevertheless, Alexandria was worth the struggle; I just had to work on my temper.
Walking into my room, I saw that Baron was already up and about, and I knew that the questions were going to start because the guy had no boundaries.
When he saw me, the idiot grinned. “Where haveyoubeen?”
“Don’t act like you’re not just walking in also,” I huffed.
“Dude, let me tell you about Jessica fucking Branch,” he gushed.
“I’ll pass,” I replied.
Yeah, that was the last thing that I needed right now.

Alexandria~
With all the ways that I kept screwing this up, I had to be the world’s biggest idiot. However, in my defense, I’d never woken up in bed with a guy before, so I’d been feeling rather unsure. Yeah, Hunter had said a lot of pretty things last night, but the cold light of day had a way of bringing shame and/or insecurity with it.
There was also the fact that I still hadn’t started my period, and I felt like I was lying to Hunter with every passing minute that I didn’t tell him what was really bothering me. As long as I wasn’t being totally straight with Hunter, this thing between us still felt fake to me. Well, maybe not fake, so much as…fragile. This was serious, and I knew that I was being an asshole by keeping my suspicions from him. Still, I wanted to be sure before I changed our lives forever.
“Hey, do you think you could help me for a quick second?”
Snapping myself from my guilt-filled musings, I looked up from the register to see a very attractive guy smiling down at me. He had that dark blonde hair thing going on where the roots were dark, but the tips were light, and it looked good on him. An All-American face with blue eyes, and the only thing missing was his letterman jacket.
“Sure,” I answered, smiling back as I remembered that I was at work. “What can I help you with?”
He jerked his head towards his workstation. “I keep trying to convert my report to PDF, but the program won’t let me,” he answered. “I like to save my work in multiple formats because you just never know who will ask for what.”
I let out a soft chuckle. “You’re not wrong.”
“Do you have time to take a look?”
Nodding, I said, “Sure.”
His smile widened. “I’m Conrad, by the way.”
“Alexandria,” I returned. “Or Alex if you prefer. I answer to both.”
He gave me a sweet nod before we both made our way to where he was logged onto one of the community computers. When Conrad pulled the chair out for me, it surprised me a bit. While I was used to manners from Hunter, I wasn’t really used to them from other guys. Yeah, opening the door for someone was common enough, but it wasn’t often that someone pulled your chair out for you.
“Okay, let’s see what we have here,” I muttered as I took the seat.
