A Mermaid's Kiss (Bay State University #1) - Katie Holland Page 0,20
hand. I took a drink and looked around. There were a lot of chicks here that I’m sure would let me fuck them, but for some reason that just didn’t appeal to me tonight.
About twenty minutes later I’d had enough. “Hey man,” I said to Bodie, “I feel like shit. I think I’m going to our room.”
I didn’t wait for him to say anything and I headed to the elevator. When I got up to our room I kicked my shoes off and looked at the time, it was only 10:45. I’m not sure the last time I’d been home this early on a Friday night. I wondered what Kayleigh was doing and decided to text her.
Me: What are you doing?
Kayleigh: Who is this? Surely this can’t be Major. He’s supposed to be partying right now.
That made me laugh.
Me: I’m done with the party tonight
Kayleigh: Why?
Me: I just wasn’t feeling it
Kayleigh: You were sure “feeling” something earlier
Me: Jealous?
Kayleigh: Hardly
Me: I think you were
Kayleigh: Not even close
Me: You never answered me
Kayleigh: I was watching Netflix
Me: What show?
Kayleigh: What does it matter?
Me: Trying to get to know you better. Are you watching something you don’t want to tell me about?
Kayleigh: No
Me: Then tell me
Kayleigh: Fine. I’m watching Thor.
Me: Really?
Kayleigh: Yes. Chris Hemsworth is drool-worthy.
Me: Wow, now you’re objectifying men. I thought you were better than that.
Kayleigh: Not when it comes to Thor
I actually laughed out loud.
Me: I like your brutal honesty
Kayleigh: You might be the only one
Me: You said you are shy, you don’t seem very shy to me
Kayleigh: Normally, I am
Me: But not with me
Kayleigh: It would seem that way. Probably because I assumed you were a douchebag.
Me: Ouch!
Kayleigh: Not apologizing
Me: Well you’re kinda right, but I’m trying to change my ways
Kayleigh: Like texting me instead of sticking your dick in some random girl
Me: Yeah, like that
Me: How do you know I’m not doing that right now? Maybe I have some girl tied to my bed and I’m fucking her and texting you.
Kayleigh: Gross! Not what I wanted to picture. And that would make you the ultimate asshole dick douche.
Me: I guess it’s good that I’m not doing that then
Kayleigh: Yep, that would have totally negated your apology earlier
Kayleigh: I’m going to have to go to bed now. Have practice at 8 am and I need my beauty sleep.
Me: Ok. Good night my honest and shy friend.
Kayleigh: Goodnight
Me: One last thing … do you sleep naked?
Kayleigh: Maybe … maybe not
I knew she was done for the night. I’d never had that much fun texting before. Not knowing what else to do with myself, I turned the TV on and searched for Thor on Netflix. It had been a while since I’d seen it, and if it was good enough for Kayleigh it was good enough for me.
Chapter 15
Kayleigh
As I made our smoothies the next morning, I replayed the events from last night. It made me smile, but also confused. Why did Major have such a sudden change of heart? And, what had been stuck up his ass in the first place? As I was pondering these questions, Karma emerged from her room looking like she’d had a day’s worth of sleep.
“How do you do that?” I asked her.
“Do what?”
“Look so refreshed? I don’t imagine you got that much sleep.”
“You’d be amazed what good sex can do for you,” she said grinning at me.
She had me there. My ex and I had sex, but with nothing to compare it to. I’m not sure it was the best in the world. I’m kind of thinking it wasn’t, since I never looked like Karma did in the morning.
“You need to have more sex,” Karma said to me.
“Probably,” I said without thinking.
Karma stopped mid-motion. “Did you really just say, probably?”
“I guess I did. I was just thinking that the sex I’ve had might not have been that great.”
“If you have to question it, then it wasn’t,” Karma said. “So, now we have to work on finding someone to rock your world.”
“Yeah, I’ll just stop the next guy I see and ask him to have sex with me.”
Karma rolled her eyes at me. “Kayleigh, you make everything complicated.”
“You know I’ve only had one boyfriend. I don’t date, so how would I even try? It’s too much for me to think about, forget I said anything.”
“Nope, not going to forget this. But, I have an idea. After practice, I’m going to take you somewhere and you can’t say no.”
