I flexed my fingers, the pull of my bruised flesh against knuckles brought me back to the first fight I had been in today, right before I'd first seen Henley.
I'd just walked out of Laney's room; my shirt still saturated with the nauseating smell of lilacs from her perfume. My head was thumping from a night of drinking induced dehydration. My finger tips were still stained with smudges of ink from touching up her tattoo that she'd gotten on Spring Break.
I heard their footsteps before they'd noticed me.
"Did you just come from my girlfriend's room, asshole?"
I turned around to see Seth, the light gleaming off his freshly shaved head. Groaning as I stretched my arms over my head, I stifled a yawn.
"Did you fucking hear me?" Seth barked, emboldened by his friends at his side.
"Yeah, I fucking heard you," I mumbled before running my fingers through my hair.
"Then answer me."
"This is your girlfriend's room?" I asked, nodding to the door behind me where Laney was. Her roommate Addy, the dickhead's girlfriend, had left the room to take a shower at the end of the hall when I arrived. "Yeah."
