I was left feeling torn between laughter and worry as they clawed at each other and shouted curses.
Noah ignored them both and turned toward me. “Corey’s going to be okay,” he said, looking relieved for the first time since we met that night. “Thanks for protecting him. It would have been so much worse if the bike exploded with him stuck underneath it.”
“You pulled me out?” Corey asked, pushing Caleb away. His dark hair fell into his green eyes as he stared at me closely.
Caleb turned his attention on me too.
I squirmed, feeling the weight of their gazes on me.
“I had to help out,” I said, feeling a blush rising in my cheeks. “You weren’t moving and I was worried. There was no one else around, so I pulled you away from the bike.” A heavy breath escaped me. “I’m glad I did. There was no way to know the bike would catch fire and explode like that.”
“You called my brothers too?” Corey asked.
I gave a nod. “That’s what you wanted.”
A long breath whooshed out of him as he fell against his pillow. Glancing toward Noah, he asked, “Does Dad know?”
“No,” said Noah.
“Good,” said Corey. All humor vanished from his face. “There’s no need for him to know.”
Their faces darkened in sync.
“Err...I think it’s time for me to leave,” I said when heavy silence fell over the brothers. “Hope you get well soon,” I added, smiling at Corey.
Turning around, I walked toward the door.
“Wait, Milla,” Noah’s voice called me from behind.
“Yeah?” I asked, turning around to face him.
“It’s late,” he said in a grim tone. “It’s not safe to walk around by yourself. Caleb will drop you home.”
Before I could refuse, Caleb walked up to me.
“Let me take that,” said Caleb, taking my backpack from my hands and slinging it over one massive shoulder. His luscious lips curved in a disarming smile, making all rational thought fly out of my head.
A soft chuckle escaped him as a knowing look descended into his emerald-green eyes. Bending down so he was at the same eye-level as me, he whispered. “You’re cute.”
My cheeks warmed at once.
He chuckled again, straightened up, and walked toward the door.
I blinked, realizing he was already walking out into the corridor. Turning around, I said a hasty goodbye to Noah and Corey, and followed Caleb.
I ran, catching up with Caleb halfway down the hallway.
He glanced down at me, grinning. “Thanks for what you did,” he said. “My brother owes his life to you.”
“No problem,” I said at once. “Anyone else would’ve done the same.”
He scoffed. “Most people would’ve ignored him to avoid any hassle.”
I looked up at him, taking in the serious expression that hardened his handsome features.
The Amhurst brothers were rumored to be ruthless. Anyone who messed with them ended up hurt or worse, expelled from the university. They were the leaders of the Elite group, an almost mob-like fraternity that ruled the campus.
I wondered if most of the things people gossiped about were true at all.
