"Don't encourage him,” he huffed, elbowing Maximus who coughed.
"They could do whatever. I just want a chance to join," Nixon mumbled and Braxton coughed again while Maximus laughed and Zane and Kage blushed.
"This should be a rated R conversation," Kage mumbled.
"You're twenty-two," Zane reminded.
"Oh yeah,” he replied like he completely forgot.
"The exit's cleared out. Let's ditch, change into some awesome pajamas and watch Netflix!" Maximus encouraged.
"Netflix and chill with all seven of us? That sounds like some complicated twister," Nixon teased and Braxton's and the others faces grew red while I laughed.
"Nixon, never change," I laughed and I turned to Logan who smiled.
"Let's go and have a nice night celebration with friends,” he encouraged and we all nodded in agreement.
Friends...and maybe even something more.
SOBER MORNING AND INTERRUPTED CLASS SESSION
Imoaned, feeling sluggish and my head pounded like a drum.
Ugh, what time did I go to bed yesterday? Or was it this morning? Ah, my head hurts.
I snuggled closer to Logan's chest, taking a slow breath and sighing at the smell that reminded me of Irish soap.
Wait. Logan doesn't smell like fresh forest and citrus? Neither does Nixon...who is this?
I opened my eyes, having to squint to try and see who held me in their arms.
I only saw muscled chest which wasn't helping any, so I lifted my head up slightly and was surprised to see Braxton's sleeping face.
Braxton?
I tried to move out of his hold but his arms tightened around me.
I felt my cheeks grow red, but I relaxed, deciding it would be hopeless to escape his hold without waking him up.
He looked so peaceful and I hated the idea of ruining such a rare sight, which was unfortunately hard for me to see with my blurry vision.
I'd totally need to wear my glasses today for class.
I wanted to check the time, but seeing as my alarm hadn't gone off, I figured it was still early. I didn't know why I was so comfortable being in Braxton's arms but my eyelids began to close and I continued to enjoy his gentle scent while listening to his calm heart beat.
It wasn't long before I fell back asleep.

“Brother. I have a group of friends,” I announced, watchinghim begin his slow walk down the hall towards me.
"Do you?" he asked, without stopping.
I nodded, looking at my hands.
I realized I was in my present form and age in this dream.
I returned my gaze back to Gabriel who continued his approach.
