Hunter~
Ididn’t understand it. Yeah, back in high school it was understandable because the pickings were slim, but on a campus this size, there were plenty of guys to choose from. So, I didn’t understand why girls kept hitting me up like there wasn’t plenty of fish in this big ass college ocean.
Now, it wasn’t that I wasn’t interested in anything fun, but that just wasn’t my priority right now. I was still waiting to hear back from any of the many job applications that I had filled out this week, and I could admit that the lack of responses was beginning to make me antsy. Ineededa job. I needed a job more than I needed to get laid. My hand wrapped around my dick could easily take care of that kind of tension. Jacking off wasn’t going to pay my next year’s tuition, no matter my stamina or skill at getting it done.
So, while most guys would have taken Jamie Newman up on her obvious offer in a heartbeat, I was still trying to get situated, women the last thing on my mind right now. Or at least, all women with the exception of the one standing in front of me.
Alexandria was five-foot-two of curves that I couldn’t lie and say that I’d never thought about before. Even if I didn’t have a thing for brunettes, Alexandria Grant was beautiful with her dark hair, those incredible icy eyes, a heart-shaped face, and a body that could take a pounding with no issues whatsoever. Alex had a woman’s body, and I liked that about her. Yeah, some people might call her ‘thick’, but those people were stupid. I liked my ears warm when I was eating a girl’s pussy, and Alex’s thighs were thick enough to keep me warm all fucking night long.
Shaking my head of thoughts that I had no business thinking, I shot Alex a look. “It’s not funny.”
“Yeah, it is,” she countered, still chuckling. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you so embarrassed.” Alex cocked her head to the side. “Back in high school, girls never got you flustered.”
“That’s because I wasn’t deciding the rest of my life back in high school,” I replied. “While Jamie’s nice to look at, I need to focus my attentions on finding a damn job.”
Alexandria’s face softened. “Same here,” she sighed. “I think I’ve applied everywhere but the strip clubs, and if no one calls me back soon, then I’m going to have to find a way to start stripping for a living while keeping my parents from finding out.”
Yeah, the last thing that I needed to imagine was Alexandria Grant swinging on a fucking stripper pole. I mean, I wouldn’t turn down a private show if she ever offered, but I didn’t like the feeling that was crawling down my spine at the thought of her taking her clothes off for a bunch of horny men.
“Well, I might have to become a cam girl and see where that takes me,” I teased, grinning.
Alex arched a brow. “Well, I mean…you’ve got the body for it.”
“For being a cam girl?” I quipped.
She grinned. “For masturbating in front of a camera,” she corrected, and it was on the tip of my tongue to tell her that I wouldn’t mind masturbating in front ofher.
I shook my head. While I’d always found Alexandria stunning, these new thoughts about her were starting to come out of left field and hitting me hard. Maybe it was because she was the only person that I knew here, or because she reminded me of home whenever I looked at her, I wasn’t sure. Nevertheless, whatever it was, my dick kept getting hard whenever I started thinking of her, and not like the mini-chub that I used to get around her in high school. This was beginning to feel different.
“Well, how about we hold off on getting naked for other people until we’ve exhausted all our options?” I joked. “I can’t say that I’m okay with you taking off your clothes for a bunch of strange men.”
“Ah, always the big brother,” she teased, and I was pretty sure that she just friend-zoned me.
Fucking great.
Getting serious, I said, “Alexandria, if you need anything, I expect you to come to me for help. You do realize that, right?”
“Hunter-”
“I don’t care what it is,” I went on, cutting off what I was sure was a lecture on female independence. “If you need anything, I expect you to come to me.”
Alex eyed me for a bit before finally saying, “Same here. I expect this friendship to work both ways, Hunter. If you need anything, then all you have to do is ask.”
“Deal,” I agreed.
“But…”
I could feel my heart sink. “What, Alex?”
“I just…I don’t want you to feel like you have to babysit me, Hunter,” she said, and that made me scowl. “College is our chance to grow and experience new things, so…I mean, I just don’t want you to feelobligatedwhen it comes to me. If I need you, but you’re busy doing something else, then I expect you to let me know that. We’re both nineteen, and it’s time to toss away the crutches, don’t you think?”
There was no fucking way that I’d ever choose something over whatever she needed, and it wasn’t because I was beginning to have conflicted feelings about her. I’d been taught loyalty at an early age, so I wasn’t the type of guy that left his friends hanging. Even if I made new friends, I’d grown up in the same town and school system as Alexandria Grant, and her cousin was marrying my best friend; we were bonded by our friends, families, and history.
“Alex, let’s get something straight here,” I told her. “I could become friends with every person on this damn campus, and not one of them would become more important to me than you.” Those ice-colored eyes of hers widened. “New friends don’t cancel out my old friends, Alex. I’m not made that way. I don’t leave the people that I care about behind while I make my way forward. I bring them with me, and that includes you.” I couldn’t stop my hand from reaching up and cupping the left side of her face. “It doesn’t matter what I’m doing or who I’m with, Alex; if you need something, I’ll be there.”
I watched as her shoulders sagged. “I really appreciate that, Hunter. I promise that I won’t try to take advantage.”
