My phone went off, so I dragged myself to my bag and checked it, finding several texts from Kruger.
Kruger: Where you at, P?
Kruger: Never mind. I checked the app. The radio station. Predictable.
Kruger: Glad you’re happy, bro.
Kruger: Are you gonna give me any attention? My feelings are hurt, bro.
I laughed and typed in a reply.
Prism: Brother time now? Wanna grab dinner before movie night?
Kruger: Tacos?
Prism: *taco emoji*
Kruger: I’m so hungry I could eat the ass out of a low-flying goose!
Prism: *puking emoji*
Kruger: I’ll come pick you up. Meet me outside in a few.
Prism: Okay.
“Everything okay?” Arsen asked.
“Kruger’s coming to get me. He wants tacos.”
“The place right off campus?” he asked.
I nodded. “Want me to pick some up for you for when you get done here?”
“Sure, baby.”
I gathered up my stuff and then reluctantly shuffled over to say bye.
He smiled and pulled me into his lap, kissing my temple. “I’ll see you in a little while.”
“Okay.”
“I’d walk you out, but I’m kinda chained to this room.”
“You don’t have to walk me out,” I mused.
“Maybe I want to.”
“I’ll see you later,” I said, getting up.
“Hey,” he called, and when I turned, he crooked his finger at me. I came back over and bent so we could kiss. “Love you,” he whispered against my lips.
“Love you too,” I repeated and then let myself out of the booth.
Outside, the sun was a little lower in the sky than before, but it was still light out. Kruger wasn’t in the parking lot yet, so I walked around the side of the building to see the G wagon. Yes, I was so needy I wanted to see my boyfriend’s car.
The second I turned the corner of the building, I noticed a black SUV with dark-tinted windows parked in front of it, nearly blocking it from view.
I jogged forward. “Hey!” I yelled, my stomach clenching but anger overruling any stress I felt at confronting a stranger. I wasn’t about to let someone mess with Arsen’s Mercedes. He loved that thing.
