Now That You Are Here

Winked At You

I snicker, turning quickly on my heel. Raymond chuckles behind me and closes the door behind me. Not being able to find a way back to my apartment, and not being fully finished with moving, I end up sneaking in the sorority house. I know, I know, but there's no way for me to get home. Exhausted from the day, I collapse in my bed, instantly falling asleep. I wake up to my phone ringing, but I choose not to answer it. 

I need a shower, desperately. I grab my towel before heading into the bathroom to shower and brush my teeth. Once I'm done in the shower, I walk back into my room, pulling on my clothes. I pull my hair back into a bun and start grabbing my books for my three lectures today when I hear my phone ring once again. I look at it to see that Nick is calling me. 

"What's up, Nick?"

"Hey, Rei. Do you know what happened to Brixton last night?"

"I picked up when he was drunk as a skunk."

"Thank god. I thought something happened to him."

"No, he might have a giant ass hangover today, but he should be fine."

"What are you up to?"

"I have three lectures today, so I've got to walk which is hell."

"Do you want Dexter and me to come pick you up before class? We could go to the coffee shop, and then we can drop you off."

"Are you sure? I don't want to cause any inconvenience."

"No way, Rei. You're our friend, and we were going to get coffee anyway, so it's no big deal."

"Awesome. I'll totally take up the offer. You know where I am."

"Be there in ten."

"Alright. See ya."

I walk out of my room and down the stairs to see Brixton and Jenny hanging out. I smile kindly at the both of them as they flirt relentlessly with one another. I guess Jenny doesn't know I picked him up last night. If he ever tells her, I'm gonna get killed. He might even get killed too. I kind of hope he doesn't say anything, though getting killed by Jenny wouldn't be that bad.

"Hey, babe. Give me a minute. I'm going to dig through the fridge for food."

"Gosh, you're always hungry."

"Hungry for you."

I roll my eyes at his horrible flirting and try to stop giggling. I bite my bottom lip as Brixton walks into the kitchen. I hide my face in my sleeve trying to cover my laughter. Brixton gives me a look, but he doesn't say a word. I hear a car horn honk outside. I grab an apple quickly, running to the window.

"Oh, the whore has another call. How much are they paying you this time?"

"More than they would pay to see your pussy. See you, Brix!"

He smirks at me, peering from behind the kitchen wall. When Jenny whips her head around, he disappears as quickly as he can. I open the front door to see Nick and Dexter heading up the front drive.

"Damn, mami! You look hot as fuck! I would hit that if I was straight. I would hit that now."

"Thank you, Dex. You've got to check out my ass today."

I give him a little twirl, dipping my butt a little. He lets out a low whistle and Nick only rolls his eyes at the two of us.

"I guess I'm babysitting today."

"If you can't beat 'em, join 'em."

"I'd rather fight to my last death than join the two of you."
