"Sure," I muttered, hanging up. I pulled my schedule out, checking out the next few days: two lectures and private study time.

I smiled as I dialed the airline, a plan unfolding in my mind.

Maybe I'll surprise her after all.

Twenty minutes later, I was in my dorm, grinning like an idiot, when Billy slammed the door open, groaning as he reached to pull the blinds down.

"It's so bright, man."

I raised my eyebrow at him as he secured the blind, a skimpy red thong dangling from his jeans. "You've got a thong in your pocket."

Billy swung around to me, his dirty blond hair falling in his eyes as he tugged it out, smirking at me.

"Smell that. She was hot as fuck."

He threw the thong at me, and I ducked, pleased I had missed the soaking missile.

"Grim, bro."

"Need me to leave so you can jerk off over your lady?" he asked.

I rolled my eyes. "You're so kind,babe. But I'm good. I'm gonna leave early."

Billy laid on his bed, throwing his hand over his face as he groaned. "I couldn’t get on a plane now if you paid me."

I zipped my bag up, sliding my phone into my backpack.

"Dude. I'll catch you after the break. Have a great one."

Billy mumbled a response as I turned to him before I left.

"Sherry is gasping, mate. She tried it with meagaintoday."

"I'll sort it."

Billy held his thumb up as I laughed. He was one of a kind.

"It's always a pleasure fucking my ex."

“Good for you.Adios,amigo.”

HANNAH

Theo wasn't answering his phone.

I yawned, bringing up Facebook. It had been a heavy day, packed with debates and lectures on Charles Dickens. I exhaled as I poured wine into a glass loaded with ice, scrolling through my news feed. I grinned when I read the shout out from Edward, still elated that I'd made one of the two highest marks in the class. I couldn't wait to tell Theo.

I skipped into the lounge as I heard a knock on the door.

I frowned, wondering if Ryan had forgotten his key. I opened it without checking through the window, hoping it wasn't an ax murderer. The door opened, and my heart stopped, the delicious green eyes drinking me in as he bit his lip.

"Hello, beautiful."

I dropped my drink onto the side as I raced toward him, feeling him chuckling as he released his bag onto the floor.

"Theo! Oh, my God!"
