I get out of bed to the bedroom door opening. I stop walking when Noah looks at me. He looked hot. His blonde hair was wet from a shower and it was spikey. He had on basketball shorts with a black t-shirt that had DSP on it. I look back up at his eyes after checking him out to see him smiling. I look away for a second. I clear my throat. "Ivy left early this morning," I mumbled.

"I'm not here for her." I look at him. He tucks his hands in his pockets.

"Is there a problem with Deon or Trent? I was just going to check up on them." He shakes his head.

"No, they are fine. I told them to sleep in. Trent surprisingly is cool. A dick to woman but he's cool to hang out with. Deon is a little stressed and his head hurts but he's doing better than yesterday." I nod slowly.

"So what's the problem?" I asked.

"I left my phone in your car yesterday." I sigh.

"Right. Let me go use the bathroom." I said walking past him. I did my business and brushed my teeth. I walked out to see him spread out on my bed. He had his eyes closed. I walked over to him and let out a small laugh. "Is this your way of trying to get in my bed?" I joked. He smiled as he opened his eyes. He sat up which made him closer to me. I let in a deep breath as he looked in my eyes. I was about to take a step back when he placed his hand on my waist. 

"If I wanted to sleep with you Hope it would have already happened." He said. I looked at him for a few seconds before bursting out in laughter. 

"That's your big move? It would have already happened. What does that even mean." He stands up. I look at him as he gives me a smirk. 

"I guess we'll have to wait and see." 

"Your charms don't work on me, Noah. I've dealt with other frat boys. I dated a guy who's dad was the dean. There isn't a move you can make that I haven't seen." He nods slowly. 

"We'll see about that." I grab my keys and walk around him. I walk up to the door and open it. I turn to him. 

"Are you coming or do you not want your phone?" I asked. He rolls his eyes as he follows me. I get outside to my car as Trent was shutting Deon's car door. I unlocked my car and Noah walked over to the door and grabbed his phone. Trent walks up to me as Noah checks it. I glance at Trent and roll my eyes. 

"You're boyfriend had a chick over this morning." I turn to him. 

"Oh you mean he pulled a play out of your playbook?" I asked. He narrows his eyes at me. "I'm not dating Noah. But I think it's cute that you care. It really brings out your jackass side." He folds his arms. 

"And you wonder why I cheated on you." I scuffed as I crossed my arms. 

"It amazes me that Deon hasn't dropped you as a friend. You're just toxic." He lets out a puff of air. 

"I'm the toxic one? We dated for five months you refused to open your legs to me." 

"It's called self-respect. I'm glad we didn't have sex I wouldn't want my first time to be with a joke." He clenched his fists and I smirked knowing I got under his skin. 

"I find it funny that you say that considering you were begging me two weeks ago." 

"Oh, you mean when you got me drunk so I would sleep with you? It's a good thing that even in my drunk state I knew better." 

"Well, I got a tip for the guy you give it up too. You have to be drunk yourself to get any pleasure of being with you." I raised my hand and slapped him. He licked his lips as he slowly looked at me. He raised his hand to hit me back but it was caught in mid-air. I looked at Noah who was looking pissed with his eyes on Trent. Trent looked at him. 

"I have no problem laying your ass out if you even raise your hand again at her. I gave you a pass last night because you were clearly going through something but I'm not going to sit around while you call her out of her name. And I'll be damned if I stand here and let you hit her." Trent tried to yank his hand back but Noah held tighter. His grip only moved a bit but not much. "Consider this your only warning." Noah threw his arm back at him as he turned to me. "Deon is welcome to stay as long as he wants but Trent needs to go before I handle things in a bloody manner." I nod. 

"I'll handle it." He nods. 

"I'm gonna go before I let my anger get the best of me." I watched him walk off and I look back at Trent. He looks at me. 

"Hope I-." 

"I don't want to hear it, Trent. You heard him. You need to leave." I said turning around. I got to Noah's room as the door across from his opens. I turn to see Levi looking at me. 

"Noah isn't in there. He had DSP work to do." I nod. 

"Yeah, I just talked to him." He nods. 

"What's with you two hanging out lately?" He asked. Noah's bedroom door opens and I glance to see Deon. I gave him a small smile. "Oh hey, Deon," Deon looked at him and nods. 

"Hey, Levi." He turns back to me and gives me a confused look. "What's wrong?" I sighed. 

"Noah said that you are welcomed to stay as long as you need but Trent needs to leave." He crosses his arms. 

"What did he do?" I looked down. 

"We got into an argument and I ended up slapping him because of something he said and he tried to hit me back." I looked up at him. 

"He did what?" 

"Noah stopped him before he could." Deon walked back into the room and came back out with his shoes on. He walked down the hall. I glance at Levi before following Deon.
