Chapter 4: Competition?

Kai’s P.O.V

“Wow.” Devon gave the three of us a once over as he leaned back in his seat with a smirk. “The three of you sure look wonderful this fine morning.”

Three consecutive groans came from three different people but for three completely different reasons.

Joshua, the red-headed player of our group who got spotted the most because of his unusual hair color, gave Devon the middle finger as he laid his head back down on his desk. “Fuck you, man! I nearly had a heart attack! And this is what I come back to?”

Apparently, the woman who he went home with last night was barely eighteen and had a Lieutenant for a father. So it was safe to say…he spent the rest of the night running away from cops and ultimately getting away with a ‘polite’ warning as to never set foot near his daughter again ‘or else’…well, I’m sure none of us would like to know how that sentence ended.

As for Cole, he was lying on his desk with his head in his hands, still recovering from his killer hangover. I didn’t know if his bleached blonde hair was in disarray because he had been pulling at it all this time, or he had forgotten to brush it this morning due to the hangover.

And last but not the least…there was red eyed and sleep deprived, moi.

“I’d totally do you…if you let me.”

After my gay roommate had been so kind as to make that joke before snoring his way to dawn…I had lost my will to sleep because:

I did not find it funny at all.

I did not find it funny at fucking all.

He was joking…right?

“Hey De,” Cole turned to Devon, looking at him up and down with narrowed eyes. “How come you don’t look the slightest bit hung-over? You drank a lot of whisky last night.”

“It wasn’t all that much and I went home and got a good few hours of sleep last night.” Devon shrugged. “I even took notes in class for you guys. So if you want to copy my notes…buy me lunch.”

All of us groaned at the same time before placing our head back on top of the desk.

If there was anything we feared about Devon…it was the fact that the man had a bottomless pit and could eat an entire horse without blinking. And the fact that he had an incredible body to match his six feet four height was like rubbing salt to the injury.

But in his defence, he was the boxing club president and has won several medals in his school and college competitions. The fact that our group had a major fan following on F******k and several fan pages dedicated to each of us, was partially thanks to Devon posting shirtless workout selfies in the gym and sometimes daring us to do the same.

“Fine.” Cole and Josh said at the same time. “Whatever!”

“I took notes.” I told them before I looked down at my notebook and groaned yet again. “I think.”

Fuck! Since when did my handwriting become unrecognizable even to myself? Being sleep deprived wasn’t as cute as movies made them out to be. My vision was hazy and it felt like I could pass out at any time. If it wasn’t for the five shots of espresso in my coffee this morning, I’d probably be asleep already. But now, I just couldn’t stop shaking my legs.

“Fine, fine!” Devon sighed. “I’ll take pity on you three, just for today. Let’s go get lunch already. I’m hungry.”

“When aren’t you?” Joshua asked as he got up from his seat, as did the others…before all of them turned toward me. “You coming?”

“Yeah…” I sighed, getting up as well.

“I’d totally do you…if you let me.”

Fuck! Why did his words keep reverberating inside my head like some kind of stuck tape-recorder?

“What do you guys want for lunch? McDonalds or Subway?” Joshua yawned as we got into the elevator to get to the ground floor, making us all yawn in sync before giving him death glares.

“Nah! I’m fine with whatever they have in the cafeteria.” Cole waved away any suggestions of going out to have lunch, even though our next class was at 2PM.

“Wait a minute,” I frowned at him. “You just gave up on going to McDonalds! What the hell is wrong with you?”

“Fuck you idiots!” He cursed. “Did you forget what day it is?”

“Start of our third year?” I said along with Devon who muttered, “First day of new class?”

“Exactly!” Cole shook his head. “And that means what?”

The four of us gave each other weird looks before it finally clicked.

“Shit! Freshmen!”

“And fresh new girls!” Cole sang like a creep as the elevator doors opened and he all but skipped out of it. “Let’s get to the cafeteria before all the good ones are taken!”

“Is he seriously talking about women like they’re some kind of livestock?” I narrowed my eyes at his blonde head, hoping he would actually slip and fall on his face for once. If only he had this much enthusiasm when it came to group projects rather than leaving it all to the rest of us to finish…

“Well…he does have a point though.” Joshua, freshly heartbroken after last night, followed behind Cole as Devon and I walked at a slower pace, not wanting others to associate us with the two fools skipping ahead.

The cafeteria was crowded as usual, with students from other faculties joining in, especially those who didn’t have class at this time of the day. So it wasn’t a surprise to see a huge crowd considering the influx of the freshmen and their new admirers. It was however…extremely surprising when Cole suddenly slapped at my shoulders and Devon came to stand in front of me as if to shield my view.

“What the hell?” I looked at Cole incredulously while rubbing at my shoulders. “What’s wrong with the two of you? Get moving or all the seats will be gone!”

“Well…” Devon hesitated, but Cole shoved him out of the way.

“Oh, shut it!” Cole snorted. “Kai’s been over Ruby for ages. There’s no way she’s getting any reaction from him.”

“Huh?” Confused, I looked around as to what my friends were talking about, but with Devon still in my way…I didn’t think I would find out if he just kept standing there.

“Fine!” Devon sighed, finally stepping aside. “But I gotta warn you…I think you got competition.”

I was still confused as to what they were talking about…until my eyes finally met hazel orbs from across the room and I understood what was going on.

Ruby was sitting on top of a freshman, with her arms around his nape. Her expression was unreadable and yet, they were close enough that it seemed like they were about to kiss…and the man she was sitting on top of…was none other than Night Winters.

Competition was the furthest thing on my mind as I continued to meet Night’s eyes from across the room; my blue orbs narrowed in on his innocent hazel ones.

But what surprised me the most at that instant was the fact that the only question on my mind at that moment wasn’t about Ruby or how she ended up on his lap. Rather it was…

He told me he was gay…did he lie?

How could you?” He snapped, his temper flaring.And to add insult to injury, Kelly rounded the corner at that moment, her backpack slung over her shoulders as she picked up an apple from the fruit basket on the table. “Also…word has it that he targets hot DILF’s, especially married ones.” She added with a smug smile.“Kelly! What the hell!” I snapped at my seventeen year old daughter, who simply shrugged and stood to the side, munching on her apple. “You’re just making this worse!”“I’m just saying what the mom’s are saying.” She shrugged again.“And how, pray tell, do you know what a

It had been a good celebration, and I could tell they were happy for us.First, Cole stepped up, his tall frame looming in the doorway as he flashed us his usual wide grin. "You two really knocked it out of the park with this place," he said, throwing an arm around Night’s shoulder and giving him a playful nudge. "I’m glad you guys are starting fresh. Don’t mess it up, alright?"Night rolled his eyes, but the smile on his face said he wasn’t actually annoyed. "We’ll try not to, Cole.""Good. Well, I’ll leave you to it. Don’t go getting into too much trouble now." He gave us a mock salute before stepping out the door, waving as he disappeared into the hallway. Landon, with his usual goofy grin, was holding Devon’s hand like he couldn’t quite bring himself to let go. "This night was awesome, guys," he said,

The same condo that I had visited several months ago, when I had still been fighting with myself over where my heart truly belonged.But now… now we were here together with his parents’ blessing, and we were here not because of Night’s obligation to this family and their business, but because we were free to use this as we wished.And we wanted to.The condo that my sister had helped me get previously may have been cheap, but it was tiny and not enough room to have sleepovers and host our friends. But this one was definitely bigger and brighter. Perfect for me and Night.Tonight the condo was filled with the kind of warmth and noise that made the walls feel more alive than mere brick and plaster. Laughter bounced from one corner to another as our friends, our found family, filled the sp

The whole time, I was thinking that the only lives that would be affected by the revelation would be mine and Night’s.I didn't stop to think about the consequences it would have on their family. I had been so… selfish.I didn't even consider that Night might end up feeling horrible because of the things that I had brought to light.What if things turned out badly? What if Night ended up hating me? I couldn't help the wave of relief that washed over me as I watched their family embrace each other. Thank God it didn't turn out that way.I may have acted rashly and opened wounds that I shouldn't have opened, but at least, in the end, it all worked out to be in their favor.I guess it was mostly thanks to Jonathan finally having his senses return. If he had been too stubborn to see his faults, we probably would be having a very different scenario now.Still, I felt horrible for my own actions. I felt like a child who could

    Chapter 110: Once A House, Now A HomeNight’s P.O.VWhen I turned to look at my mother, I had this undeniable feeling that our family was going to crumble. There was no other way to go about it—what was the right way of proceeding with your life when you suddenly find out that the man of your family turned out to have never loved you at all? That instead he had someone else occupying his heart, whether he admitted it or not?Thinking about it that way made me realize something else as well, the other side as to why my father had kept the truth. Just like Rosalie had said during her earlier fit, why would any woman want to waste her life being married to a gay man who could never love her the way she wants to be loved and never need her physically in the way that she wants to be needed?My father hadn't held back on the truth not only because of his troubled past, but because he was holding this family together…because he didn’t want me to grow up with only one parent, facing prejudice
