“Don’t make promises you can’t keep.”
“You’rethe one with the tight schedule. But if showing you my dick helps you focus on your studies, I’m all for it.”
“It does. So, be prepared.” We laughed again before falling quiet. I glanced at the time in the top right corner of my phone and realized the final minute had already begun. “I really don’t dare look.”
“If it’s too much, that’s fine. I can do it.”
“Is it okay if I close my eyes for a second?”
“Sure.”
I squeezed my eyes shut. I needed to breathe. I knew this wasn’t going to end well. Nearly ten percent were missing only half an hour ago. Miracles like that don’t happen. But no matter how it ended, Alex was right. This was only our first shot. If it didn’t work out now, it wouldn’t be the end.
The sound of Alex clicking on his laptop pulled me back to the present. He breathed heavily.
“It’s over, isn’t it?” I opened my eyes.
Alex’s face was frozen as if our connection had been lost, but then he blinked, his eyes widening by the second.
“Seb,” he whispered. “Someone swooped in at the last minute.” He slowly lifted his gaze. “We did it.”
