Jack's POV

Seeing Scarlett remorse over her roommates death after 5 months was hard for me. I didn't know the girl, hardly ever talked to her. I didn't understand why Scarlett was so heartbroken by her death. Yes - it was her roommate, but it wasn't like they were best friends.

Scarlett would sulk sometimes, and I knew she was thinking about what ever her name was. When Scarlett asked me about marriage, honestly I didn't know what to say. I feel like I'm still I'm high school trying to not get cooties.

Scarlett and I pack up as we are heading back to Massachusetts. A week back in NY, was amazing, but being in Massachusetts makes me feel like an adult. As Scarlett and I drive back, she gets a phone call and answers it immediately. Whoever is on the other line must have wanted to really talk to her, because that's all, they did.

"Who was that?" I asked her.

"Lucy. She's asking me about boys and sex." She said to me. "You know, we haven't done it in a while. She looks at me while raising her skirt a little bit. I think of sex and Scarlett and I see joy and fun.

"How about later tonight. After dinner?"

"I'll be there." She says as we arrive at the Harvard parking lot. She gets out of the car, and shimmies her way to the Harvard door.

_______________

"What are you getting all dressed for?" Asks Rosie as she voluntarily opens the door.

"I-uh. Nothing." I say, as I still haven't told either of them about Scarlett.

"Well, you look handsome." She said as she gave me a skittle kiss on my hand. I quickly left the dorm and got in my car and drove the hour drive to Scarlett's nice and academic school.

Scarlett's POV

I spun around in my dress as a knock was received at my door. I glanced at myself one last time, looked to Anne's empty bed and opened the door to see Jack with a rise in his hand.

"Scarlett will you except this Rose?" He asked me as he joked about The Bachelor. Every Monday night he'd come over and watch it with me, just because it was funny and intriguing. I accepted his rose and "date night' card as I stepped into his car. I had packed my purse with condoms, and any protection we needed.

It's not that I don't want a baby, it's just I don't want such a big responsibility at this time. I basically worshipped Suzanne, for doing whats he's doing. It's a hard task.

As we arrived at the restaurant, We were seated quickly and given something to drink - not alcohol of course, we're not there yet.

"So, are you excited for tonight?" He asked me, as we bumped noses and giggled. I nodded my head and started to blush as I thought about it. Jack was my first, and to this day - I want him to be my only. As we were given our food, Greg walks over to the table and greets us.

Prissy was hand in hand with him as they both walked up to us.

"Scarlett. I didn't know you were coming here!" Greg said, he gave me a big hug as he introduced himself and Prissy to Jack. Prissy never told me she was going out. I did accept her to be my roommate, but lately she hasn't been staying my my dorm. I have a feeling she's been with Greg in his dorm.

"Nice to meet you, uh."

"Jack." I said, filling in the blank for Greg.

As Greg and his girlfriend walked away, Jack stopped talking to me. I asked him how his food was, and he didn't even answer me.

"Jack. What's wrong?"

"What's wrong is that, he gave you a little kiss last week, and he doesn't even know I'm your boyfriend." He said. His eyes were red and his food wasn't being touched anymore.

"What." I ask. I knew what Jack was saying was true, but i didn't want to admit any of it.

"He looked at me like a friend, not a lover of yours." He said as he dismissed himself and left the table. I called for the check and left the restaurant right behind him. I heard his car door shut as I walked over to him.

"Jack O'Neal - cut it out. Greg never knew because he had never asked about my love life. He doesn't want to know." I try to convince him, but he doesn't budge.

"So what, you have an empty dorm, does he sleep there every night with you? Do you keep me a sceret? Why would you keep me a secret?" He starts the car as he drives off.

"You shouldn't drive when you're mad." I say to him.

"Why do you give a fuck." He keeps his eyes focused on the road, but I can still feel the tension.

"Jack. Let me love you. I will show you how much I love you. Even though I never told gum about you, doesn't mean I was doing him."

He got silent as I said those last words. He drove back to his college and ran out of the car and ran all the way to his dorm room. His room is visible from the car, so I see his lights go on and him starting to yell.

I run up to his dorm and knock as loud as I can, but he won't open.

"Jack I love you." I say. I try and try, but he doesn't open. Finally I shove a condom under his door and start to all away.

He must have heard my heels as the dirk opened and he bent down to pick up the package. He ushers me in and let's me sit down.

"Why did you open the door?"

"Because you can't just walk home." He starts to talk again as I connect our lips. He moves his hips as I do mine, and he finally agrees.

"Jack. I'm sorry." I whisper into his ear, as he's pulling my shirt over my head. We haven't felt this angry and sexy in along time. Part of me just feels like he's doing this because he hasn't in 1 year or so. But then another part of me is saying he's doing it because he really wants to.

He moans as he adjusts the condom. We get under the sheets and start to kiss on each other. Just as he's about to say something a light switches on. My first thought is to hide under the covers until they leave, but another part of me wants to kick the guy who turned it on because Jack was about to make his love for me.

I move my way to the top of the covers and look out to the girl standing by the other bed.

"Who are you?" I ask her as she starts to say something.

"Jack... bringing some lady friends huh?" She smirks and looks around the room.

Jack brings his head over the covers as he sees the girl, he starts to sink down again.

My first instinct was that new as seeing another girl, but how would she be able to get into this room without a key.

"Hello, can you leave?" She asks me and sits down in the bed. She gets out some clothes and looks over at me again. "I'm Sam, and who's the slut he brought home tonight?" She asks.

I look over to Jack, who is red and looking at this "Sam" girl. I finally pull the top cover around my body and grab my clothes and change in the bathroom. While I'm changing they're arguing - but only a glimpse was heard.

"You never told me you had a girlfriend. that's why... was trying to hit on you."

I quickly walk out of the bathroom, kiss Jack a little goodbye and leave the room.

"You can't walk home!" He says to me. I'm angry, and frustrated. He caused me earlier of not telling Greg about him, when he didn't even tell his little friend about me.

"No worries, I'll call Greg." I say, as I slam the door and walk out.
