Don’t answer that.
“You should make your bed.” She puts her hands on her hips and shakes her head at me, then does just that, straightening out my blanket and fluffing my pillow.
I shrug and scratch the back of my head. “I don’t see the point of making my bed when I’m just going to get back into it.”
“Do you wash your laundry? By that logic, you shouldn’t bother to do that either.”
Okay, she has a point there.
The door opens again, Paul’s voice entering before we can see his face.
“Hey, bay—” He clears his throat, and I smirk at him over Nikki’s head. “Hello, Nikki.”
The smile that was on his face falls into an expressionless mask. He doesn’t like her, and that is hilarious to me. She’s never done anything to warrant that kind of response. I think he’s a little jealous.
“Don’t you have class?” He looks at me with a pointed look. Pulling out my phone, I swear and grab my backpack. I want to kiss him before I head out, but I can’t with Nikki here. Ugh. “Later.”
Nikki, of course, follows me out of the room and into the elevator.
“Is he gay or something?” Nikki’s question catches me off guard, and my head snaps to the side to stare at her.
“What?”
“He looks at you like he either wants to eat you or murder you.” She shrugs.
“He’s my best friend.” I cross my arms and beg this elevator not to stop on every floor so I can get the fuck out of here, but today is not my lucky day.
“That doesn’t answer my question.” She doesn’t lower her voice at all, despite there being more people in the car.
“No, he’s not. Not that it’s any of your business,” I snap a little harsher than I meant to, and the people in front of us turn to look at me.
Nikki turns to watch me, and a smile curls the corner of her lips that makes me uncomfortable.
When we finally reach the main floor, I push my way out and don’t feel all that bad about leaving her behind. I have to protect him.
I find a seat in the back of the lecture hall, and my phone buzzes in my pocket.
P DADDY: That’s a really cute teddy bear. Are you going to cuddle with it tonight instead of with me?
MENACE: Instead of? No. He’s going to join us. He’s part of our throuple now.
P DADDY: If it touches me, I’ll light it on fire. It’s tainted.
MENACE: I’ve got a taint you can play with . . .
I snort to myself and put my phone away as class starts. It vibrates in my pocket, but I try to force myself to focus on taking notes instead of sexting with my very hot boyfriend.I wonder if he would send me a dick pic . . .
It takes all my force of will not to fall asleep in class. I have no idea what he talked about or what our next homework assignment is. I’m totally fucked.
When he excuses us, I stand and stretch, turning my body to get that full-body pull, and jump when Nikki is standing behind me.
“Jesus, dude.” I pull my arms in to protect my chest like she’s going to hit me. The chick is weird, doesn’t blink enough, and I swear has ninja training. I’m going to tie a bell on her shoes or something.
“Yes, Jesus was a man.” She cocks her head, looking at me like she’s confused.
“What?”
“Jesus in Spanish is also a male name.”
