Long Road Ahead

"Sir, let me get it to the car." As a familiar tall figure strides from the kitchen and fetches my suitcase from my dad's hand a new wave of irritation washes over me. My eyes drill his back between his broad shoulder blades. Of course my hostile stares bother him less than a fly bothers a rock mountain. Insentient cold asshole. Travis Hudson.
He hefts my old Samsonite and I can't help but ogle his biceps straining, almost ripping the grey sleeve of his t-shirt. He turns over giving me a curious stare.
"Seriously? Are you aware you are moving to the college campus, not to colonise an uninhabited planet." He smirks and my parents chuckle along.
"It's only essentials, girly stuff." I bark. Oh, how much I hate him! "Maybe you need to spend some time in a gym instead of a library, so you won't be such a wimp, hm?" I sneer trying to snatch my suitcase.
Of course he doesn't let me. Of course he doesn't bother to retort. He shakes his head and walks out of the door with my suitcase firmly clasped in his hand. My eyes linger on his retreating form. Time in the gym, my ass. A thin fabric of his t-shirt clings to his toned body showcasing his perfect V-shaped torso. I doubt even a lifetime in the gym can make him look any better than he already does.
"Evelyn, what has gotten into you?" My dad looks down at me with disapproval, making my stomach churn.
"I think you should apologise. Travis is doing us a favour. He had to wake up at six thirty in the morning on his day off, and then spent almost five hours jolting on the bus to get here from his place. Be grateful at least." I cower under his stare though every cell of my body wants to protest. I don't need any favour from Travis Hudson, I don't need anything from him. That ship sailed a long time ago.

Hi there!
That's just the small sneak peek of the story. I have the urge to share. If I get some feedback, I'll start uploading it after my current WIP "Till the Sun Rises West".
