"Whatever, it doesn't matter to me." I knew we were not going to be watching it anyway; he could barely keep his hands off me all night.
As we were lying on Dominic's bed, making out, someone knocked on his door.
He rolled off me with a groan. "Be right back." He grabbed a pair of sweat pants off the floor, put them on and then went over to answer the door.
I sat up on his bed, and pulled the covers up over me, in case it was his roommate coming back. Dom had told me they had a room rule. If there was a sock on the doorknob, you had to knock before you walked in. I hoped that rule was for his roommate and not Dominic, since I had just gotten here last night. From where I was sitting on the bed, I could not see Dominic, but I could hear a girl's voice.
"I told you, I was busy tonight." I heard Dominic say to whoever was standing there.
"Who is in there with you?" the girl asked.
"It doesn't matter. Look, I've got to go." Dominic shut and locked the door before he came back over to the bed. I was reaching for my shirt to put back on. The mood for our make out session was completely ruined.
Dominic frowned. "Where are you going baby? We were just getting started."
Looking around for my pants, I said, "Who was that at the door?"
Dominic sat on the bed and tried to reach for me, but I moved before he could touch me. "She's no one. She was looking for Tommy."
"You said I told you I was busy. Why would you say that?" Something was not adding up here.
"Because I am busy, and I wanted her to get lost." He grabbed my hand and pulled me towards him. "Baby, stay here with me."
I shook my head. "I shouldn't. I don't want to leave Hailey alone all night. She doesn't know anyone yet."
He dropped my hand and huffed. "Fine, I forgot everything is always about Hailey."
Now he was acting like a two year old, and pissing me off. "Really? Are you going to act like that? I texted you today, and asked you to lunch, and you blew me off for your roommate."
He walked over to the door, and opened it. "Whatever. I'll see you tomorrow."
The asshat couldn't even walk me to my room.
When I got back to the room, Hailey was sitting on her bed, Hunter was sitting in the chair next to her bed and they were playing cards.
"Hey, you're back early. I didn't expect to see you until tomorrow." Hailey looked up from the cards in her hand. By the look on his face, Hunter was surprised to see me too.
I tried to make it sound as if it was not a huge deal that some girl just ruined our night, so I told them what I told Dominic. "I didn't want to leave you by yourself already. We just got here. Besides, I'll have plenty of time with Dominic."
"CC…," Hunter said, in that we know you too well for your bullshit voice. "I know you better than that. What did he do?"
I crossed my arms over my chest and defiantly said, "Nothing."
Hailey shook her head, knowing I was not going to say anymore. "Alright then, you want to play?"
I felt Hunter's eyes on me and looked over at him. "What?"
"Nothing." Then he studied his cards, ending the conversation.
After playing cards for a few hours, we called it a night. Our first classes were in the morning, and we needed to get some sleep.
5
I barely slept last night, worrying about how Dominic and I had left things and worrying about my first day of classes. Hailey and I had our first class together, and we were lucky it did not start until 10 a.m. Dominic had to be up at 5 a.m. to run with the football team, and then they had practice and meetings until noon. He was not going to be around much to walk me to class, but I wish he could have today so we could talk about what happened last night.
I gathered up my books and purse, getting ready to head out to class when there was a knock at the door. When I opened it, I was shocked to see Dominic. He had his arm up against the doorframe, and his hair was still damp from his shower. He was wearing my favorite jeans and a Yankee's t-shirt. "Are you ready to leave Kenzie? We have a little bit of a walk."
Still feeling a bit puzzled that he was here, I asked, "What are you doing here? I thought you had practice."
"They let us go after our workout, since it's the first day of classes." He closed the distance between us and moved his hand to cup my face. "I'm sorry about last night. That wasn't how I saw the night going."
I just shrugged. "It's okay. We will talk about it later." I did not want to be late on my first day. I yelled over my shoulder, "Hails, let's go."
She came out, looking all disorganized. "Ok, ok I'm ready."
It was about a fifteen-minute walk to class, and when we arrived, there was already a bunch of people there. We all walked in, and Dominic spotted Logan, a football teammate of his, so we walked over to him so Dominic could introduce us. As we were approaching, Hailey nudged me in the ribs and wiggled her eyebrows at me.
"Geez, Hails, you haven't even talked to him yet." I said in a loud whisper.
With a dreamy look on her face, she said, "Who needs to talk when he looks like that?"
Laughing, I cannot help but think she truly is something else. "You're impossible, you know that right?"
Logan was a handsome guy. He was tall and skinny and his t-shirt stretched across his toned chest. He had hair that was sticking up all over the place, but it looked good on him. I also noticed a tattoo on his upper arm that was peeking out from his t-shirt. He was just Hailey's type.
After introducing everyone, Logan asked Dominic, "Are you going to the party on Friday night?"
"Of course I'm going; I haven't missed a party yet."
I snapped my head towards Hailey, and gave her a what the hell look. I now know what he has been doing every weekend since he got here.
Logan looked over in Hailey's direction, with a twinkle in his eye. "Hailey, are you going to come to the party with MacKenzie?"
I looked over at Dominic, and answered Logan for Hailey, "No, Hailey isn't coming with me because I wasn't invited."
Dominic slung his arm around my shoulder, "Babe, of course your invited."
"How do you know I don't already have plans? It would have been nice of you to invite me first."
"Well, do you have plans?" he asked.
"No. What plans could I possibly have already? I don't know anyone here."
He squeezed my shoulder a little. "Good, then it is settled. You and Hailey are coming to the party. I'll pick you girls up tonight at 9."
