EVA.  "You leave first. I need to get a book from the library. " I tell Aliya as we walk out of class and she twists her body to me to say, "Meet me back at my dorm, yeah?" "You got it. " I throw her a wink and pat her back before I turn in the other direction that takes me to the school library.  Stepping inside the room, there are a few students scattered across, and I make my way towards my favourite spot at the very end to drop my bag before I head to the row of shelves and look through for the book I need.  Not finding it in the first sections, I move to the one at the very end and start looking through the books. A smile covers my face when I catch the sight of the cover and I lift my hand to fish it out but startle when there's a breath down my neck.  "They are not for stealing, Carson. " I turn around to see Emerson standing in front of me. 

EVA.    "You need to start leaving, Hanna. " Hanna groans next to me at the voice of her brother, and I chuckle, throwing her a smile as she meets my eyes with a small pout.    "He's chasing me away. " She purrs and I look at Emerson behind us before looking back at her to say, "I'm sure he has good intentions. "   "You're defending him?" She narrows her eyes and I shake my head. "I'm not. Just pointing that out. "   "Fine, " she rolls her eyes before moving to her feet then a smile covers her face. "I look forward to spending more time with you, Eva. "   "Me too. " I utter sincerely and her smile widens before she turns to her brother, "I'm leaving now. Are you satisfied?"   "Do you want me to take you back?" Emerson asks her and she says, "No, I don't think so. I'll be fine "   "I'll take you. " Emerson persists now and Hanna

EVA.    "Are we leaving together later?" I ask Aliya as we walk towards the exit of the campus and she shakes her head, "No, I don't think so. I have to take care of something first. Text me once you're on your way. "   "Does that something have to do with—"   "Yes. " She interrupts the rest of my words, and I drape a hand over her shoulder. "Good-luck. Don't give in to the temptation of sex, babe. "   "Fuck off. " She groans, lowering her head to drop my hand from her shoulder and I let out a chuckle as I adjust the strap on my shoulder.    "And you might just want to take care of something. " I furrow my brows in confusion as I meet her eyes, and she nods in a direction. I follow the trail of her eyes and instantly freeze on my spot as I see Dan approaching. He's appearing before me for the first time since that day, and he looks much better than the last time, with h

EVA.    My eyes go wide as I look around us in a frantic state. "Where?" I crease my brows when I find the man nowhere in sight and Emerson laughs from his seat.    Realising the prank he just pulled on me, I frown as I look back at him. "You're fucking insane. "   "I was hoping you would dodge your head to hide so you would end up with your face in my pants. " He confesses as he starts to drive and I say, "You could have said you want me to suck your dick, Ford. "   "Never going to be straightforward with you, Carson. " He responds as he drops his other hand to the radio and tunes up the volume of the music blaring through the speaker.    "I could do that. Only if you can control your hold. " I tell him and Emerson looks away from the road to take one glance at me before looking back to his front and I watch the bob in his throat shift from a gulp.  &

EVA.    "I'm back. " I say as I walk through the door with a grin on my face, halting my steps at the sight of Aliya with my mom. Both heads snap to me and they both carry a smile on their face.    "Hey, honey. How was the date?" Mom questions and I look away from her to the blue-haired beside her, who's staring at me with a smirk on her face. Oh fuck.    "Yes, Evie. Did you have a nice time?" She speaks, and I can easily sense the mockery and annoyance that lies underneath those words.    "When did you get here?" I ask her, ignoring their previous questions as I stride closer to them and Aliya says, "Hours ago. I had a nice time with mom. " She jerks her head to my mother.    "Was it good?" Mom queries, clasping a hand to the side of my head as I press a kiss to her cheek and I hum. "It was. I'll take Aliya with me now. "   She nods
