I glance at him. "What exactly do you think this was?"
He grins. "Your awakening?"
I snort. "You’re insufferable."
"Yeah, yeah. Get outta here."
As soon as I step out of his yard and onto the street, I stop and look back at his house.
What the hell just happened in there?
28) It’s Happening
Rava
I close the door behind me with a bit more force than needed, drop my keys in the bowl and just stand there.
My chest? Still on fucking fire. I kick off my shoes and walk straight to my desk. My hands are literally still shaking.
That moment when Gio leaned over me, so close I could feel his breath, the moment he challenged me.
I actually looked down there to make sure my dick was not up. I shouldn’t have looked.
But I fucking did. Because apparently, my dick can’t tell whether it’s a man or a woman on top of me. I groan and open my laptop.
Presentation time. Yes.
Safe, boring, educational presentation, because that’s what normal people do at night. They don’t go semi-catatonic because some guy with a tattoo and a smirk decides to lean over them like some damn scene from a Netflix show.
I stare at the screen. Type one sentence. Delete it.
Type another. "Nope," I mutter. "Absolutely not." I slam the laptop shut and pick up my phone, scrolling down to Noah’s contact.
Calling…
He picks up on the second ring. "DUDE."
"Hello to you, too! What?" I flop down on my bed.
"Yeah yeah, hello. You will not believe what happened. Remember Ethan?" He says.
"The one with the ears?"
"The one with the perfect jawline."
"Oh, right." I sit up a little. "What happened?"
"He proposed to his ex’s sister. IN A SKI LODGE. With her mom in the room."
"...What the actual fuck."
"I KNOW. She said yes."
I cover my face. "Your life is like reality TV without the cameras."
"Yeah right, while yours is totally normal. Nothing special, you know." We laugh. I hate that he’s right.
"So, did you pitch my genius idea to that Gio guy?"
