Lael squeezed my waist one more time, then led me through the crowded front door. The noise of the party instantly dropped to a muffled roar behind us.

We were halfway down the front walk way when he suddenly stopped, patting his jacket pockets.

“Damnit!” Lael muttered, checking his pants. “I forgot to give JJ his gym pass. The idiot won’t be allowed into the weight room tomorrow without it.”

I raised an eyebrow, crossing my arms over my chest to ward off the breeze. “And you just remembering n

  • Don’t Tell Our Parents    Chapter Thirty One

    Since my stomach was practically eating itself—seriously, I hadn't eaten a single thing since waking up at 6:30 AM—I decided to grab a quick bite before sociology class started.There was a cute little restaurant just a short walk down the street from the campus, the exact same spot that Chloe, Leon, and I used to go to all the time back when things were different. A tiny, annoying pang hit my chest at the memory, but I pushed it away. I didn't even bother going back for my car. I just shoved my phone into my bag and walked over, letting the fresh air clear my head after all that morning chaos.Just a minute later, I reached the familiar glass doors, pulled them open, and stepped inside.Once inside, I didn't even bother looking at the menu. The waiter took one look at me, gave a knowing smile, and put in my usual order since I came here all the time.Thirty minutes later, my food was finally ready and served hot at my table, and I dug in right away, completely starving.As I sat the

    I stood near the doorway for a second, just watching him finish his set.As he locked the heavy barbell back onto the rack, he wiped his face with a towel and turned around. His bright eyes landed on me instantly, and that serious gym focus melted away, replaced by a slow, easy grin."Hey, Valerie," Lael said, his voice coming out a little breathless as he grabbed his water bottle and walked over. "To what do I owe the pleasure?""Avery!" I corrected automatically, glaring at him slightly.Lael completely ignored me, letting out an easy laugh as he took a sip from his water bottle."Give me a minute," he said, tossing the towel around his neck with a wink. "I should be done with this in like five."I rolled my eyes, walking over to a nearby empty bench and sitting down to wait for him to finish up.I pulled out my phone to scroll through my messages, but a second later, the space beside me dipped as someone sat down on the bench."Hey, Avery," a familiar voice said.I turned my head a

    My alarm blared at exactly 6:30 AM, dragging me out of the best sleep I’d had in weeks.I groaned, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes before dragging myself out of bed to get ready. Since I had that early 8:00 AM class, I didn't have time to waste.I threw on a cute long-sleeve black floral gown that hit right at my knees, pairing it with comfortable flat shoes since I knew I'd be rushing across campus. I brushed out my hair and styled it in a half-up, half-down look, adding just a little bit of makeup to make myself look somewhat alive.After grabbing my bag, I tossed in my notebooks, my favorite lip gloss, and my phone. With everything packed, I headed out my bedroom door and went downstairs to start the day.When I hit the bottom of the stairs, I found my mom already down there. She was completely dressed and looked like she was heading out somewhere important.She had on a sharp pair of tailored trouser pants, a chic blouse, and high heels, with her designer bag clutched in one ha

    Once outside, I crossed my arms and let out an impatient breath, staring down at the carpet."What is it, Mom?" I asked, keeping my voice low.She stepped closer, lowering her voice too, though she looked a little unsure of herself. "I just wanted to ask if you're comfortable in there. I don't know... I feel like you guys should have the lesson in the living room instead of his bedroom."My eyes went wide, absolute disbelief hitting me."I thought you were okay with it when he said it in the dining room!" I shot back in a harsh whisper.My mom winced slightly, looking away down the hall. "Yeah, because Richard was there! I didn't want to look like a... nagging control freak in front of him."I let out a slow breath, my irritation melting away into something a lot more exhausted.I already knew the exact real reason she was bringing this up right now. We had already talked about this yesterday, when she practically begged me not to fall in love with Lael. My mom was so insecure about o

    "Good," I muttered, taking a step back to put some actual space between us before my brain completely melted down.I spun around and marched right back to the desk, pulling out the wooden chair and dropping heavily onto it. I cracked open my Sociology textbook, flipping straight to the first chapter like my life depended on it.A second later, I heard the sound of footsteps shifting across the floor, followed by the quiet creak of the mattress. I glanced over my shoulder.Lael had finally sat down at the edge of his bed, which was just a few feet away from the desk. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his bare knees with his hands loosely clasped together, watching me with those frustratingly bright eyes. "Alright, warden," Lael said, his voice dripping with playful amusement. "I'm sitting. I'm breathing clean air. Teach me."I just rolled my eyes, ignoring his stupid nickname completely, and cleared my throat to get down to business."Okay, page four," I said, pointing my pen

  • Don’t Tell Our Parents    Chapter Twenty Six

    After dinner wrapped up and I survived the rest of my mom and Richard talking about the wedding, I practically bolted straight to my room.I looked at the digital clock on my desk: 9:30 PM.Which meant I still had a solid hour and a half before my supposed 'study session' with Lael started at eleven. Thank god. I definitely needed a breather after dealing with his smug face across the dinner table.First things first, I needed to get out of the clothes I'd been wearing all day. I grabbed a towel and my oversized black slip nightdress, and headed straight for the bathroom. Letting the hot water wash away the exhaustion of everything.By the time I dried off, brushed my teeth, and got dressed, I checked my phone again.10:20 PM.Forty minutes left. Instead of just pacing around my room and stressing out, I figured I might as well get some work done. I pulled my heavy assignment out of my bag, sat down at my desk, and actually focused.Time flew by, and before I knew it, my eyes were st
