"And it burns like a gin and I like it. But your lips on my skin and you might ignite it. Hurts but I know how to hide it, kinda I like it."

"We need to get to that campus immediately," I tell Riccardo as soon as we're out of prison. "I wouldn't count on it, Aurora. There are some higher authorities against Blake – Mr. Wilson – who have the power of removing the videos," Riccardo replies.

I pout. "We still have to try." I shake my head, not believing this situation. There have been plenty of movies about this situation, which only made my blood boil while watching them.

But witnessing it in real life is just something else.

"Will do," he assures me. We both get in his car. "What do you think about what just happened?" Riccardo asks me.

"It's a breath of fresh air," I reply honestly. "Now, this is only more motivation for me to study, since I want to help more people like him," I reply.

"All I want to do right now is work on this case till I drop from exhaustion and just save this man," I whisper, shocked at my words because they are true.

"You're going to make an amazing lawyer," Riccardo smiles, a proud gleam in his eyes. I resist the urge to bite my lip.

Imagine how good we'd be together.

But instead of saying that, I just smile at him as he starts the engine. "Thank you."

The following day, Riccardo takes me to the college Blake was attending. I dressed casually today, not wanting to draw any attention.

Riccardo is dressed in a pair of black jeans with a white shirt tucked into it. I can't stand the fact that he's always looking this good.

This college is pretty crowded. Since it's summer vacation, I expected to be empty. But some people are hanging around, retrieving some stuff from their dorms.

As we walk over campus, I catch some guys checking me out as we pass them. I glance at Riccardo and let out an inaudible sigh as he doesn't even notice them looking.
