|Audree|
Class is super boring and irrelevant- I mean, it's not irrelevant, just boring.
Thankfully, this is my last class for today. .
Zahaire gets out of class in about half an hour so I just find a nice bench out on the quad and scroll through my socials until he gets out so we can walk together.
Time passes by quickly and I tell Zahaire to meet me at the computer lab in an hour.
"Oh aaand--I need to borrow your car."
"Why?" Zahaire asked as he scrunched his face up.
I can tell he's thinking about 300 different scenarios in his head.
"If you're trying to take my car to fuck some random dude again I ca-!"
"ZAHAIRE!" I yell as I cut him off embarrassed by what he's saying. "First off, I didn't have sex with that guy and second, no I'm not trying to make out with another guy in your car!"
Zahaire shakes his head as he leans against a nearby wall.
"Then..." he trails off.
After a couple of moments just staring at each other, he finally speaks again.
"What do you wanna use it for!?"
"Iwannameetupwiththatguyfromtheparty..." I say quickly.
Zahaire looks me up and down as he squints his eyes.
"What?"
"Iwannameetupwiththatguyfromth-" I mumble again.
"Audree!"
"What!?"
"STOP MUMBLING AND TELL ME!"
Zahaire lets out a frustrated huff as he runs a hand through his hair, slightly toned biceps flexing as he does.
Ooh- my bestie has been hittin the gyms...probably for that weirdo Delilah!
"I need to meet up with that guy from the party!"
"No." Zahaire shakes his head.
"Why not?"
"Because so many things can happen and it's my car that I have to use..so no." He says sternly.
I roll my eyes.
"Hey, you owe me!"
Zahaire looks around confused.
"How do I owe you?"
"You." I point my finger against his chest and he immediately flicks it away.
"Don't touch me."
I ignore his statement and place my finger against his chest again.
"You cock blocked me earlier!"
Zahaire stays silent and I smile at my achievement.
"Carrrr?" I raise an eyebrow as I stick out my hand for Zahaire to shake.
He crosses his arms over his chest and looks away from me.
"Carrrrr?!"
Zahaire lets out a long sigh before shaking my hand.
"Whatever."
He reluctantly hands me the keys and I wink as I grab them from his hands.
"Be careful with Shayla."
"Don't worry, your car is in good hands!"
I jog to his car parked in the lot near the cafeteria. Once I am in the car I start it up and drive to the residential area where the party was.
I drive up to the house, and just now seeing the place in broad daylight, I can see what a mess was made. There are empty cans and random stuff scattered all over the place. I look around and peep through windows to see if anyone is there. Then I see a shirtless man walk out from the back of the house and he is carrying a trash bag.
His body is glistening and sweaty and his torso looks so sculpted yet so smooth. I sit and stare for a while until he notices me. He smiles and waves as if he knows me. I look at him confused and looked behind me to make sure he was waving at me.
Turns out he was.
He then pulls out a sticky note and waves that at me, then it all comes back to me.
I leave the car and walk towards him with a smile on my face. He starts to sign at me.
"Hey stranger!"
"Right back at you!" I sign back and chuckle. "So they got you on trash duty now huh?"
"Yup, you can call me Captain Planet!" He puts on a smug look and performs a superhero pose.
"Speaking of names, I didn't quite catch yours."
"My name is Captain Planet as I've said...but my
friends call me Sean." He winks at me.
"My name is Audree!"
"So what brings you here to my humble abode?"
"I actually need a favor...would you happen to know anyone that can make a fake ID?"
His smile turns into a serious expression.
"I should tell you that my family is heavily involved with the law and I am studying to be a judge."
Oh SHIT!
"Oh-I was just kidding--I mean I was just-" I frantically tried to explain myself messing up my sign.
I went on for about a minute until Sean burst out laughing.
"I'm just playing, well not the part about my parents. But you're good!"
I hesitate before asking him this next part.
"So, can you help me or...?"
Sean looks at me as he raises a hand to his chin.
He smiles at me before signing back to me.
"Yeah, I think I know someone that can help. Follow me!"
I nod my head and follow Sean into his fraternity's house.
