Just as I was about to tell them about Carlson, my phone rang. My friends needed me at the faculty for a group assignment. I excused myself quickly and hurried away after dividing tasks with my group.When I checked my phone again, a new message lit up the screen.Carlson: Hey, come meet me at the parking area. Don’t keep me waiting.Without even realizing it, my feet were already rushing in that direction.The moment I entered his car, he locked the windows and doors. His face was stormy."Why did you leave yesterday without waking me up? Don’t you know how risky it is to walk alone at night?" His voice was sharp, furious.I swallowed. "You looked so peaceful. I didn’t want to disturb you, so I locked the door and left."He shook his head. "Next time, wake me up. No matter what. It’s not safe to walk alone at night."I shouldn’t have liked the way he said it, but I did. His concern wrapped around me, heavy and warm.His eyes flicked to my hands. "Who did this to you?" His voice crack

I just want to have some time with you, I’ve got a busy day ahead,and I need to relax." Carlson said, his tone unusually calm. It wasn’t his style.at least, not the Carlson I thought I knew. He was always sharp, always loud, always pressing where it hurt. This softness caught me off guard, and I hated that it did.Then he hugged me. Tight. My arms hung stiff at my sides, frozen, until the silence stretched too long and I had to break it."How am I to help you? It’s not like I care about you or anything. In fact, I’ll be heading home soon."The words came out harsher than I meant, like I needed to put a wall up before he could get any closer. But inside, I was shaken. Why did it feel different this time? Why did it feel like there was more behind his touch than just another one of his tricks?He reminded me of our deal, pinning me down with that unspoken “you owe me” look of his. And then, casually, like it was nothing, he said he was hungry and wanted me to cook.I scoffed, trying to

I quickly apologized and told him I was just thinking of g

When I realized he was longing for me even more than I’d imagined, I pulled away from the kiss and stared at him.His eyes were still closed, his chest rising and falling, gasping for air. Then,footsteps outside. I tapped his cheek lightly until his eyes flew open.“That hurts,” he muttered.“Well, that’s what you get for being naughty and stubborn.”“You stupid bastard! I hate you so much,” he snapped, panic flashing across his face as he reached for the bathroom door. But I caught his hand before he could leave.“There are people outside waiting to use the bathroom. If you want them to know we were in here together, go ahead, I’ll gladly tell them everything that happened.”He pouted, lips pushed forward, looking cuter and angrier than ever. I couldn’t resist. I leaned closer, and when I grabbed the handle, he yanked me back, making me stumble against him.“I won’t open the door unless you promise to be a good boy,” I said, staring straight into his eyes.“Who’d want to be a good bo
