our drinks and left.
We went back to Logan’s room and spent the rest of the day in bed together, cuddling and kissing. I could tell Logan wanted more, but he didn’t push and I appreciated his thoughtfulness. I told him so as we lay tangled in his sheets.
“I won’t push you Chloe, you know that. Last night was amazing, but I understand why you’re holding back.” He kissed my head as I snuggled deeper into his chest and slept.
Logan and I walked into class the next morning together, holding hands. He slapped Drake on the back as he took his seat. “Morning Drake, beautiful day isn’t it?” He pulled me to him and kissed me full on the lips.
I felt my face warm as I looked over at Drake, who was staring at us with cold indifference.
“Yeah, I guess it is.”
I pulled my eyes away from him and cornered Logan with a glare.
“What?” he asked with an innocent smile.
“You know, if you wanted to mark your territory, all you had to do was pee on my leg.”
He laughed as he leaned back in his chair, “Good idea, I’ll have to remember that for next time.”
I rolled my eyes as I started pulling things out of my bag. Drake ignored us for the rest of class, and disappeared as soon as class ended. He was nowhere to be seen at lunch either. By the time I arrived at work that evening, I was getting seriously pissed at him for ignoring me. If he didn’t want anything to do with me, that was fine. But he didn’t have to be a jerk about it. My night quickly went from bad to worse. I was so focused on being mad at Drake, I constantly messed up drink orders until Vanessa forced me to run register.
“What is wrong with you tonight?” she asked as I threw yet another messed up order in the garbage and walked up to the register to start taking orders.
“Nothing.”
She waited until I finished punching in a customer’s order before starting in on me again. “Obviously something is bothering you since you’ve destroyed every drink you’ve made tonight and you almost broke the register you were pushing buttons so hard.”
“Honest, it’s nothing. Just a bad day.”
She rolled her eyes but let it go. I managed to get through the rest of the night without breaking the machine or ripping any annoying customer’s heads off and breathed a sigh of relief as we closed up and I walked to my car. My relief was short lived when I saw someone leaning against my car. I approached slowly and pulled a can of pepper spray out of my bag. “Can I help you?”
My body relaxed as the figure turned and I saw it was Drake. He grinned as I approached and leaned back onto my door.
“You scared the fuck out of me!” I yelled as I reached the car.
He glanced down at the pepper spray in my hand and smirked, “Were you really going to pepper spray me?”
“It crossed my mind. Now move or I will,” I said as I tried to shove him away from my door. He refused to budge.
“What’s got your panties in a bunch tonight? Trouble in paradise already?”
“No, not that it’s any of your business, now move!” He just gave me a smile, not moving an inch. I threw my hands in the air, “Why are you here?”
“Can’t I just come visit you at work?”
I glanced at my phone, “You do realize it’s after midnight and we’re standing in a dark parking lot right?”
“Come with me, I want to go for a drive.”
I shook my head. “I need to get home, just tell me what you want.”
He pushed himself off my car to stand in front of me, lifting his hand to brush it down my cheek, “Please?”
I sucked in a ragged breath at the contact and stepped away, “I don’t think that’s such a good idea.”
“I’ll keep my hands to myself, promise.”
I bit my lip as I debated. Finally, I nodded and we made our way across the lot to his car. We were silent as he drove down the Mileground and merged onto the interstate.
“Where are we going?” I asked as we weaved through traffic.
“Someplace I go when I need to think, or to write music, depending on my mood.”
I stayed silent as he took an exit and pulled onto a side road I hadn’t even noticed. After a few minutes of silence I glanced
