Sorry! Been a minute.
My excuse is that my brother was getting married. Yaaaaaaaaaaaay. It was pretty cool.
Anyway. I like the way this chapter panned out, although it's not super long.
Comment and let me know what you think please <3

Exams came and went. Sage had come home almost everyday to study. Matt and Gina would join us in the library.
It was comfortable studying with her. It was comfortable existing with her. When we weren't getting too close. When our hands didn't brush against each other. When my nose didn't catch a whiff of her scent if she leaned over my shoulder to clear a doubt for me, or if I wasn't leaning over hers to clear her doubts. If the curve of her neck didn't make me want to press my mouth to it. The more time she was in my space, the more tantalizing she got.
It didn't help that she studied on my bed and on more than one occasion, fell asleep when I wasn't watching. My pillow had started to carry the scent of her shampoo. Something fruity and cute. It made me picture her washing her hair with it when I fell asleep. Rubbing it into her scalp, inhaling the smell with satisfaction.
I told her I didn't want her cooties on my pillow but she took it like the joke it was and used it anyway.
It definitely didn't help that the effect I had on her was growing too. It was clear as day. I caught her staring more times than I could count. She wore her heart on her sleeve. She didn't restrict herself from telling me how she felt.
Her eyes held desire that made my stomach knot with nerves, her tongue would swipe across her bottom lip in a way that had me on the edge of my control, her words were sweet and affectionate.
Every time she casually told me how "beautiful" or "cool" she thought I was or that she loved me, I'd either throw an eraser at her head or roll my eyes. She'd laugh and shrug, "What? It's the truth."
I wouldn't have minded her saying that if it didn't make me want to do sinful things to her. She was beautiful in a way that I couldn't describe; to look at, to be around, to experience.
I sat in my room after I had driven home from the last exam.
I was rereading The Book Thief for the second time. I needed to go buy some books at some point. My shelves were filled with books I had read already and ones I knew I would never pick up but couldn't part with just yet.
My phone began to ring and I looked at it. It was a group video call. I picked up and saw Matt and Gina already online. Behind Gina I could see Dom in the background. I watched Matt's expression but it gave away no secrets. I knew he had feelings for Gina. To anyone else, it was clear as day. I didn't speak to Sage about it because it wasn't my business. But sometimes I did wonder how he could bear it. Watching her with someone else. I thought about Sage. How difficult was it for her?
"What?" I asked.
"So, we have a week off starting tomorrow." Matt said, his eyes shining with excitement.
"We sure do." Gina said, equally excited. She was bouncing in her chair.
"One sec, let me call Sage again." Matt said. I watched another window come on with Sage's display picture. I tried not to stare.
Her face was stretched into a grin when she picked up.
"My favourite dumbasses. And Dom. Hey Dom!" She said. I hated that I felt my spirits lift.
