"What are you doing up so late?"

"You're back!" I stand on the couch as I make my way to the tired man with the book still in my hand, a bright smile covering my face. "You got the book for me," I say, realization dawns in his eyes and he proceeds to walk away.

I quickly get off and hold his arm before hugging him tightly, I ignore how his muscles tense up, I ignore the harsh breaths he draws in but I don't ignore how he calmly holds my waist and pulls me away gently.

A tiny lamp is the only light that is switched in in the dark living room, and even with that, I can still see his beautiful stormy eyes.

"Than—"

"It's not a big deal." Kaden cuts me off, I don't stop there I drag him to the kitchen with me where a box of my famous donuts sits.

He narrows his eyes a bit and I worry if he is going to lash out. "You...you seemed to enjoy them the last time so I decided to make them for you."

"It's 1AM in the morning. Just to show your appreciation you didn't sleep but baked through the night?" My worry increases when his voice becomes hard, I notice his jaw clench and his fists ball.

"I'm sor—" I stop as he sits on the stool and takes a bit from a donut.

It's hard to tell if he is enjoying it since there's no emotion on his face, and it's killing me that I don't know what is going on in his head.

With a dejected sigh I turn on my heels, "Thanks for the book, and the pink drink." I whisper before leaving the kitchen.

It's just a hunch, Kaden could have been the one that ordered the drink and if he isn't, his silence makes me conclude he is paid for the drink.

My heart scares me, I fear I am creating a bond with a man that has tattoos and alluring scars, who will no doubt leave me with a broken heart.

I inhale sharply at the cool morning air, my toothpaste still gives me a minty hit at the back of my throat not to mention the sudden grumble of my stomach.

It's going to be a good day because it's the start of another week, while everyone knows the week begins on Sunday. I, Eleanor Crow believes it begins on a Monday. Sundays are for planning and I have planned how I wanted this week along with every other week to go.

I am starting afresh, I have decided to keep the promise I made to my best and only friend, the thought of her finding out the crazy stuff going on between me and her brother scared me.

Even if I can't give a name to what exactly is going on between Kaden West and me. Sometimes he is rude to me, telling me things like I'm not his type, and the next he is buying me what I needed essentially.

It's frustrating and wouldn't lead me anywhere, especially since my silly heart always flutters at his nice gestures.

See? I'm getting off track again, my thoughts have been consumed by Kaden just by the mention of his name.

So, starting Monday at 8 Am, I decide to forget all about Kaden and continue my beautiful friendship with his sister.

Which means, no more late nights donuts, no more speaking about his phobia or telling him about a book I need. And even if he manages to show up one day to pick us up, I'll politely decline.

That's the only way to keep my promise to her, after all in a short while he will be gone so there will be no point in getting close to him.

"Didn't believe it was you red, not till I saw those gorgeous eyes!" The blonde in front of me looks oddly familiar, her green eyes are bright and beautiful like early spring and her smile is contagious.

"Have we met before?" I ask slowly.

A playful frown makes way to her face. "From the shitass club?" She waves her hand.

"Oh, my God! Lilly?" She grimaces before nodding.

"I've always hated that name. But sure, I'll let you call me Lilly." She shrugs before pulling me into a hug her perfume engulfing me in an even tighter embrace. "So you go here? How is it that I have never seen you before?" She leads me to a big oak tree in the middle of campus, I'm tempted to tell her I'll be late for class but I don't want to upset her. She looks very happy to see me, which is a first for me.

I shrug my smile mirroring hers, I push a few red baby hair away from my face but some got stuck to my lipgloss. That's the issue with wearing lipgloss your hair always wants a part of it.

"It's a big university Lilly," I tell her and fluff her back length hair. "You were a brunette with I guess blue eyes?" I gasp leaning closer to her. "Are you on the run for ruining the club? Shit, I hope I didn't get you in deep trouble!" Lilly laughs shaking her head with one hand over her chest.

Unlike me who is wearing a pink long sleeved top matched with a yellow sundress skirt and sneakers. Lilly is wearing a blue dress with a low neckline exposing little of her cleavage.

"Ah! Those were costumes, I thought I could come here and start over with a fresh look. But that plan failed and I ended up trashing my good-for-nothing uncle's club." She explains, her wrist flicking as she speaks.

Her eyes light up. "So how's the boyfriend? Did you later give him—" my phone dings informing me another class has just started and I officially missed the first one. "Oh, shoot! I talk a lot. Here, let's hang out tomorrow." We exchange numbers and hug before going our ways.

I laugh at the name she saved her number with on my phone.

Bombass Blonde.

A hang out with Lilly gives me an idea for a hang out with Kate, we three could go to a spa and just talk. I really need a girl's day out, and did I just make a new friend?

I shake my head slightly, my red curls bouncing off my shoulders as I do. I don't want to get ahead of myself, she might just feel like reminiscing about that glorious night where she played moans as music in a club that apparently belongs to her family.

•••

The next day came quicker than expected and all three of us agreed to ditch college for that day. For a hang out, for a spa relaxation. Kate agreed to bring a friend—which is a surprise to me. But then again, she has always been easy to make friends with, the only problem with them was they always betrayed her.

With cucumber slices on our faces and warm towels on our hair, our backs resting on a soft bench with all release a sigh.

"I had no idea I needed this on a Tuesday afternoon," we agree to Charlotte's words.

"Did you later do it with David?" Lilly asks and I feel heat creep up my cheeks.

"Oh! Sex story! I'm all ears," Charlotte responds and I can only imagine Kate giggling at my red cheeks—if the cucumber slices are off her face.

I clear my throat as I remove the slices. "Uh...no, mister was cheating on me."

"Ooh! Cheating men, they are the worst." Lilly grimaces as she pulls off her slice too. "So you have never had sex before—"

"Guys! This is a hangout not a sex ed class!" I say, chuckles pass the girls and I sigh.

We go back to relaxation but neither of us have our cucumber slices on, we're just staring at nothing in particular all lost in our thoughts when Lilly speaks up again.

"So nothing have ever been there before? Not even a vibrator?" I cover my face with my newly manicured fingers and groan loudly. "I'm just saying, don't you want something in there? If you're embarrassed to purchase one. I have new ones I can give to you, in fact I have in my bag right now!"

"Do I even want to know why you carry new vibrators around?" Kate asks this time and Lilly shrugs.

"In case someone needs my help." She says in an obvious tone and we exchange glances. "What? Am I the only one who does that?" The blonde shrugs her shoulders at us mumbling how lame we are and it receives a little giggle from me.

"Why did you hate that club so much?" I ask plopping an elbow on the bench as I face her.

Lilly sits up a bit, "My shitass wiping, ugly face irritating uncle is a full-time perv, n—"

"Please Ms. Harrington language please!" We all turn our attention to a half-bald man wearing a black suit, his mustache is neatly trimmed and he has one of these old glasses.

"Harry the annoying vampire, always a pleasure." Lilly replies with a fake but graceful smile covering her face at the man giving her a distasteful stare.

The day is officially ruined.
