“Hoo wash dat?” I asked, garbled around yet another piece of ice because apparently, I had no self-preservation instinct.
Clearly, I didn’t know when to stop.Case in point.
She gave me another glance — this one dirtier than the last. “Nosy much.”
“Puh-lease. You’re one to talk.” Brows raised, I fixed her with a look.
“All right,” she huffed, “you’ve got a point there.”
Curiosity was eating me alive. ”Soooo…”
“So, that was my new roommate.”
I struggled to keep my voice even and casual, prodding at the ice with my straw. “Nice. Didn’t know you found someone. When did that happen? How do you know her?”
“What’s with the sudden burst of interest?” Her eyes narrowed.
Defensively, I raised my hands. “Excuse me for wanting to make sure that my only sister isn’t shacking up with some weirdo.”
“She’s not. I’ve known her for a while. She used to live in a sorority house, but I guess she’s looking for a different place now. Called me up a few weeks ago, right when I was getting desperate about finding someone decent. She can seem aloof and a bit stuck up at times, but she’s cool.”
Huh. That sounded familiar. Could it be?
The mere possibility that this could bemySierra had me on edge. She had embedded herself in my mind like a virus that I was pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to shake. But not the bad kind of virus.
Wait — was there a good kind of virus? Biology and I have never been on good terms. Shit, I was getting off track. I shook my head slightly, trying to regain my focus.
As if I hadn’t been trying to do that ever since she crashed into my life like a meteor. I was obsessed. Plain and simple. I’ve been replaying that night in my head, over and over again, sometimes not being able to sleep at all because of the way she was consuming my thoughts.
She was the only thing I could see. I couldn’t even get fucking hard without thinking of her. Every time I stroked my dick, her moans were what I heard, her face was what I saw.
“The plan was for both of us to move in this weekend, but apparently there was some kind of emergency, so she’s moving in today,” Ella continued.
I frowned. “Is she going to be okay?”
“I think so.” She flashed me a sly smile. “Since when do you care about the welfare of your fellow humans?”
“Dipshit.” I threw one of my fries at her, which she dodged with a laugh.
“Just kidding.”
“Hey, I was thinking maybe I could drive up to campus with you this weekend, bring some of my stuff up there … maybeee leave it at your place until I officially get my room?”
“I swear, you football players are so damn lucky that your program has its own dorms. We can only dream of that.”
“I thought you wanted to get out of the dorms anyway?” I raised an eyebrow at her.
“Sure, but it would have been nice to save on rent over the summer.”
I sucked my teeth. “Sorry, sis.”
“It’s okay. You know I don’t have a problem with working,” she said with a shrug. Her eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands enthusiastically. “Oh! If you’re on campus too, you can help me move — as a thank you for letting you dump your stuff at my place.”
On the inside I pumped my fist, but on the outside I pretended to surrender. That was exactly what I’d hoped for. “Fine,” I groaned. “If I have to.”
After Ella left, I just sat in my truck in the parking lot, my mind racing. My knuckles turned white as I gripped the steering wheel, a singular thought repeating in an endless loop.
What if itwasher?
