Charlie Ever After

My nerves are still buzzing under my skin as we get closer. We're only a few minutes away and I see Isaac's fingers flying over his phone screen as his eyes remain on the road. My face contorts in confusion as I try moving in closer to see what's so important that he can't wait until the car is stopped. When I can't see the message or who he's talking to I just roll my eyes and lay my head back against the head rest.

"We're here." Isaac announces within minutes as he pulls into the parking lot of my dorm building. He find a parking spot and hurries out. What's the big rush?

I slide out of the car, shooting a look to Lydia. She shrugs her shoulders at Isaac's behavior and just as I'm about to ask what's up his ass, I see him waving someone over. Great, one of his new boy toys.

The guy in question starts making his way over with a tray of drinks. He's good looking, messy brown hair, a good sense of style. I have to give Isaac credit for this one.

He finally makes it to us, standing there awkwardly before Isaac starts the introduction. I let my eyes travel him, taking in his icy blue eyes, and his toned physique and I can't help but to admit how fucking hot he is.

I'm practically drooling as he hands me my coffee. I give him a sweet smile, tearing the paper off the straw, sticking it through the top and taking a long sip.

"Delicious." I speak. "Thank you so much, this definitely hits the spot." He smiles at me.

"Anytime." He replies before adding, "So, Isaac tells me this is your first year- are you excited? What're you planning to study?" He asks me before he sucks down the rest of his coffee, moving his straw around in the ice.

The nerves start buzzing again at his question- I haven't put much thought into what I wanted to study, only that I wanted to get away from home and get a good education so that I can be as different from my mother as humanly possible.

I shift my weight onto my other leg, taking another sip of my coffee before answering, "Yes, my first year... and honestly I haven't decided yet. But I'm hoping to do something with psychology maybe." I shrug my shoulders and glance up at him from under my eyelashes.

He's beaming. "Phycology is pretty cool." He says, and his attention is on me and me only. It's as if Isaac and Lydia aren't even here.

Lydia bumps her hip into mine. "Wanna start bringing some of this stuff up?" She asks me and I nod my head. "Yeah, sorry." I say, feeling guilty that they sacrificed their day to come here and help me, but I was grateful nonetheless.
