I swallow hard, but I manage some enthusiasm as I repeat, “Delta Xi.”
CHAPTER 11
HEIDI
I come. I come hard.
Bringing my rabbit into the bathroom with me is something I usually reserve for bubble bath night, but I’m a little more worked up this morning than usual.
Drew.
Well, that kiss was memorable. I’ll probably be rubbing off to that memory for a long time. The way he pulled me in. The power of his lips and the irresistible flick of his tongue on mine. His warm breath and the strain of his voice as he said my name.
And I’m coming again.
I stick my other fist in my mouth and bite down to keep it quiet beneath the spray of the showerhead. My rabbit isn’t the loudest thing in the world, but it can make quite the buzz at the highest setting. Luckily, Jenna got back late last night with a very special guest judging by the scrunchie proudly displayed on her doorknob this morning, so there’s little chance of her overhearing me release some tension.
I let out one final inaudible moan before turning off the water and reaching for my robe on the hook outside the curtain. I dab my moist hair until it’s only damp before stepping out into the hall. The smell of fresh coffee tickles my nose and I quickly shove my massager into the pocket of my robe.
“Good morning!” Jenna announces from the kitchen table in her pajamas. She sits back in a chair with her hair in a messy strawberry blonde ponytail and her bare feet propped up on the table. “Long shower, eh?” she hints with a mug of coffee cradled in her hands.
I grab an empty mug from the cabinet above the coffeemaker. “Feeling a little sluggish today, that’s all,” I say.
“Yeah, I’ll bet.” She sets her mug down. “You had a real long night of bitching out early.”
“Was that before or after you abandoned me like you said you wouldn’t?”
She raises a hand. “Okay, first of all, that’s not what I did and I have receipts.”
“Please proceed.”
“Thank you. Bobby was hopelessly blowing up my phone all night long.”
“I recall you texting more than usual, yes.”
“So, I located the nearest eligible plaything to enlist his help. His name was Jack, and he had very blue eyes.”
“Help with what?”
“With making Bobby very, very jealous.”
My eyes roll. “Of course.”
“I am not proud.” She places a hand over her heart. “But also maybe a little bit.”
“And how did that plan work out for you?”
As if on some cosmic cue, Jenna’s door opens down the hall. We both go silent as she smiles and a pair of boots thump in our direction.
Bobby strolls into the kitchen, fully answering my question. “Good morning, ladies,” he says, his chin-length blond hair sloppily pushed to one side.
“Good morning,” Jenna says, leaning back.
He bends down and gives her a quick kiss on the lips before bobbing his head at me. “Hey, Heidi,” he says.
“Hi, Bobby,” I say, keeping a cautionary pinch on my robe to hold it closed. “You want some coffee?”
“Oh, no. Thanks, but I got to take off. I have some places to be.”
