“I just can’t believe anything you have to say, Jake,” she whispers. “You’re the most popular guy on campus. Every girl wants you. You can have sex with any of them. Why are you wasting your time with me? You don’t know me.” She still doesn’t get it.
“I don’t see it as ‘wasting time.’ You’re worth every minute. Say the word, Leia. Just say the word, and it’s just you and me.”
I don’t even realize what I’m saying while I’m saying it. But I don’t regret it. And she has to know that. Her face tells me she still doesn’t believe me, though.
“What is it you want from me, Jake? You’re still not saying what you want. I thought we agreed on a friendship.”
“Baby, I can’t be friends with you. You know that. I’vekissedyou, Leia. And both times were hot as hell. Look...I can’t stop thinking about you. I don’t think I evenwantto. I don’t know if I want a benefits thing or if I just want a one-night stand—” Her gasp cuts me off.
“Fuck you, Larson.” I can’t help but flinch at that. “Iknewthat’s what this was about theentire time. You want one good lay to get me out of your system?! Huh,is that it?!”
She’s shouting at me now, and we’re causing a scene in the house. The music suddenly stops, and everyone’s watching us as she waits for my response.
“Leia, it’s not—” But it’s a cheap chance. Because she slaps me. Ahardslap. I’m stunned for about five seconds.That fucking stung.I rub my cheek to stop the burning sensation as I face her again. And the look I see on her face is something Ineverwant to see again. “Leia—”
“Don’t. I’mdonewith you, Larson. Never talk to me again,” she snarls. She struts away from me as I look around my own fraternity. Shit. I fucked up.Again.
