and forth with a couple of guys and ended up in a quad of warriors. It was five AM when I fell asleep.
At seven, I took a thirty second shower and jogged out to my truck. Alex’s eyes roamed my body and I knew she knew what I’d been up to the night before. I was grateful she made no comment. I didn’t want to have one of those girlfriends. If push came to shove, however, I would choose Alex over the game. OwlBane was just a temporary diversion.
I pulled into the parking lot and did a double take when I looked at Alex. Knee length navy skirt, button-down oxford shirt, sensible shoes…why was Alex wearing her Honor Choir outfit? And then I remembered. She was leaving after lunch for a performance at the Fox. Crap . I would be going home alone after school. I had nothing to live for.
We had no classes together, but at least I’d get to see her in the cafeteria before she left. It was the only thing I had to look forward to, and the only reason I didn’t skip school entirely. I worked on OwlBane strategy all morning. When I saw her at lunch, I kissed her desperately and was relieved she didn’t push me away.
“What time will you be back?” I asked.
“I don’t know. Around five or five-thirty.”
“Text me and I’ll come pick you up .”
“I can get a ride,” she said.
“No. I’ll get you. I’m your boyfriend.” No way would I allow some Honor Choir asshole to drive her home. I didn’t want her to go in the first place. Anything could happen on that bus. I silently cursed the fact that she didn’t belong to an all-girl choir. The jealousy was all-consuming when I walked her to the Choir room.
The moment she was out of my sight, I left the school building, got in my truck, and drove home. Owl Bane and Mordios could help me survive the day. I sat at my computer until Alex called at five. I reluctantly signed off the game and left to retrieve her.
She looked tired, stressed, and breathtakingly beautiful when she stepped down from the bus. I wanted her more than ever. Some geeky dude stepped off the bus behind her, and I thought I saw him looking at her ass. He said something and she turned to look at him. She smiled at the asshole. I felt like getting out of my truck and beating the shit out of him, but I couldn’t. The moment I set eyes on her, I’d become aroused and there was no way could I walk in front of anyone.
I felt unaccountably angry when she climbed in beside me. My jealousy at seeing her talking to another guy far outweighed my pleasure at being with her at last. I scowled at her and she recoiled.
“I’m sorry you had to drive over and pick me up,” she said, patting my knee. “I could have asked my dad to get me.”
Her gentle touch relaxed me and the monster inside me curled up in the corner of his cage. I leaned over and kissed her, secretly hoping every guy in the parking lot was watching while I staked my claim. “I missed you,” I murmured. “How long does this time of the month last?”
She blushed. “ Like, three or four more days.”
I felt guilty for bringing it up, but it was something I had to learn to deal with now that I had a girlfriend. How would I survive the next four days?
“Do you want to eat dinner at my house?” I asked.
“I don’t want to wear out my welcome. Besides, my parents will freak out if I’m gone all the time .”
“So, I don’t get to see you at all?”
“I’ll come over for a little while.”
W hen we pulled into my driveway, she glanced at her house warily before following me to my front porch. “I should at least let my parents know I’m home.”
“Call them .” I guided her inside my house. Pushing her up against the living room wall, I kissed her. I ran one hand under her untucked shirt and squeezed her breast. With the other hand, I gripped her behind and pulled her closer.
“ Oh, great,” I exclaimed when I heard my mom’s car pull into the driveway. She always ruined everything.
