Catch Me 16
"I promise you, Mr. Vasilios. I don't love Amari like that. We are just best friends.""Mmh, but you look at her like she is the moon and stars."I laughed. "That's because she means a lot to me. We have been through so much together.""Are you sure you don't like her as more than a friend?"I shook my head. "Nope. She sees me as a friend. And by the way, I have a girlfriend.""You're only fifteen boy. Isn't it too early to have a girlfriend?"I was about to answer his question when Mrs. Vasilios angrily stomped out of the kitchen."Leave that boy alone, Vasilios! At his age, you were already on your third girlfriend.""Do you want lasagna?"I held my phone close to my ears as I tried to process what Zane was asking."Lasagna?" I repeated, furrowing my eyebrows in confusion. Was he high on drugs?"Yes. I made lasagna for dinner. I thought, maybe you would like some too."I was left speechless. This is not the Zane I know."You...made dinner?" I asked questionably after I got my voice

“I still don’t know about this dorm room situation,” Mom said.“Honey, she made her choice. We agreed to let her make her own decision,” Dad murmured.“But the apartments we saw were beautiful. And she’d have her privacy.”“Rena, stop it.”“Just try to talk to her, Peter. Please?”I sighed. “I can hear you two, you know.”Mom smiled at me hesitantly and Dad shook his head. As I rolled my last suitcase out the front door of our beautiful two-story home, I didn’t let their conversation dampen my spirits. I was excited to be rooming with my best friend, Hannah. I’d met her during orientation last year when we were both freshmen. And we seemed to latch on to one another. She was peppy and loud, with a boisterous laugh and curves that made every available boy on campus come over and talk to us just to get in good with her. She loved big costume jewelry and clothes that were a size too small. And through it all, we helped one another get through the tumultuous insanity that was freshman yea

“Oh, wonderful,” Hannah said.“It’s just my shampoo and stuff. It’s fine.”I scooped it up and closed the car door before I turned back to my guys. I waved my hand at them, signaling that I’d be right back. And when I did, their damn catcalling started up. Whistles filled the air and a couple of the guys gave me a thumbs-up. Then the comments began.“We give you five minutes with that one!”“I think you got ten in ya!”“Pics, or it didn’t happen, Max!”The guys burst into laughter as I snickered, shaking my head at those asshats. But when I felt someone tugging at the bag in my hand, I looked down to see the dark-haired girl fighting me for the damn thing.“Give it. I’ve got it,” she said.The bright pink of her face and the worried furrow of her brow told me everything I needed to know. She was embarrassed. And for some reason, that mattered. I held my hand up toward the guys again and made a fist, telling them they needed to shut the fuck up. And they did, too. Almost immediately.C

Dani“Ho-lee-shit,” Hannah said.The curtain dropped from my hand as I quickly whipped around.“And you’re still flushed! Did he kiss you? Did he hold you close? Tell me what those muscles felt like. Because that’s a big boy with some big muscles underneath those clothes.”I blinked. “What?”“Girl, you don’t even have your voice! He did something, didn’t he? Oh, you have to tell me all the juicy details. What’s his name? Where’s he from? What do those lips of his feel like?”I paused. What was his name? I should have asked.“You kissed a guy and you don’t even know his name?” Hannah asked.“We didn’t kiss,” I blurted out.“Then why are you so flushed right now?”Because he’s the sexiest man I’ve ever seen.“I just--he wanted to come into the room. Is that normal?” I asked.“You didn’t let him in?” Hannah asked.I shook my head. “No.”“Girl, why the hell didn’t you let him in!? I would’ve given you privacy. Come back with a pizza to help you refuel.”I wrinkled my nose. “I’m not going

“You’re in that dorm.”“Uh huh.”“On the third floor.”He grinned. “Yes, siree. And you don’t know what you’re missing, either. College girls are where it’s at. They know how to have a good time, they know how to keep their feelings in check, and they’re always wanting to try new things.”Rupert elbowed me. “You hear that? New things.”“And biker guys are always new things to girls like them.”I sighed. “You’re not a biker guy.”Benji waved his hand in the air. “When I graduate, I will be. I’ll be so fraught with knowledge on business and shit like that you’ll have no choice.”Rupert paused. “The fuck is ‘fraught’?”I rolled my eyes. “Shut up, you two.”I felt the guys staring at me as I watched across the road. All night I’d thought of that girl. Those eyes of hers kept me awake. That ass of hers kept my fingertips tingling. I didn’t know what it was about her. Possibly her clumsiness. Possibly the innocence in her eyes. I could almost smell virgins. They had it written all over thei
Catch Me 21
I darted down an alleyway and drew in a deep breath. I knew where I was going to pick up this job. The same place I always went. When my father had finally stepped away from the crew, he passed it onto my brother, who was three years older than me, and not very good at standing up to our father. My brother was a pushover. As strong as he was physically, Dad had a grip on him mentally. Which dove this crew into some shady shit for a very long time. But after my brother’s accident, after having the only thing he loved ripped away from him, he finally saw the light.Like I had years before.That’s how the club got passed down to me. From my father, to my older brother, to me. Family lineage, just like tradition stated. But my father didn’t like me having control of the Red Thorns. I wasn’t as much of a pushover. I always questioned him as well as his motives, something he never enjoyed about me. It had been easier to manipulate my brother than it was me. But with my brother no longer be

The guy opened the door and Hannah’s face fell. I looked over at her and she peered at me, not wanting to fully take her eyes off the guy. I knew she recognized him. That leather coat and those black jeans. She furrowed her brow slowly before coming into the room, then gripped him by his coat.“Hey. Wai--what are you--?”Hannah looked at me. “Any point to him?”I shook my head. “He said he’s hiding from someone. He let himself in and hasn’t left yet.”The boy growled. “Let go of me.”Hannah shrugged. “Suit yourself. Go hide somewhere else.”She shoved him out the door and he stumbled into the wall across the hallway. He whipped around with wide, shocked eyes, and I wiggled my fingertips at him. Hannah giggled as she slammed the door closed, then flipped the lock for good measure.“See? That’s what happens when you study unnecessarily and don’t pay attention to a damn thing I ask you to do.”I blinked. “Really? You’re doing that right now?”She grinned. “Really, really. Now that we’re

I tugged at the white shirt before it thwaped right back into place, making Hannah giggle.“Come on, time’s a’wastin’, hot stuff.”I rolled my eyes. “Never. Again.”I felt my roommate grab my hand before we stumbled out into the hallway. With the music pumping and the strobe lights going again, it felt as if I had stepped out onto another planet. I squinted as someone shoved a drink in my free hand. I had on my only pair of heels, which somehow kept throwing me off balance. Maybe it was the effects of the light, or the fact that Hannah practically tipped the cup to my lips. But the more beer I chugged down, the looser I felt.“Need another?” she asked.I grimaced as the taste of lukewarm beer filled my throat. I forced myself to get it down, but I sure didn’t want another one. I tossed the red cup into the nearest trash can before Hannah started bopping around, dancing to the thumping music and reaching for yet another drink.One of many I presumed she’d already had.I looked up and d
