her, and Hailey asked if she knew where we could find Logan. The nerdy girl looked from Hailey to me, then back again to Hailey. Then she pointed to a row of shelves to the right of where we were standing.

Hailey grabbed my arm and practically dragged me in the direction the girl pointed. We looked down the first couple of rows and didn’t see him. Finally, we found him in the last row; he was standing there with his back to us. We walked down the aisle towards him, but Hailey stopped dead in her tracks.

I nearly ran into her, but she turned to look at a book. She shushed me, and shifted her eyes to Logan and then back at me.

“Leave her the fuck alone, Britt. She doesn’t know anything about you.” Logan said this just loud enough for us to hear. Hailey looked at me with wide eyes.

“He needs to tell her. I should have done it the night I showed up and she was in his room.” Brittany said.

I raised my eyebrows at Hailey and she did the same to me.

Logan turned around, right as Hailey turned to look at him. “Oh, hey Hailey, what are you doing here?” He leaned back a little so that I was in his view. He cursed under his breath, and looked back at Brittany before acknowledging me. “Hey, Kenzie.”

“Hey, Logan.” I glared over his shoulder towards Brittany. She looked like she was caught doing something she was not supposed to be doing.

“We were looking for a book on…” Hailey grabbed a book off the shelf. “Ah, here it is, The Big Book of Lesbian Horse Stories.”

Way to go, Hailey. She was making this even more awkward. I snorted, and turned to walk away. I heard Hailey say something to Logan in a hushed voice, and then heard her groaning as she came up behind me.

“Let’s never come into the library again, unless it’s absolutely necessary,” Hailey said.

I stopped and looked at her. “We came here to get a job, Hails. I’m at least trying. What did Logan say?”

She squeezed her eyes shut. “Nothing. Just go fill out the application with nerdy girl so we can get the hell out of here. I need a drink.”

I asked the girl for an application, which she provided, and I filled it out while Hailey walked off to hide from Logan. I finished and handed in the application, found Hailey and went to the dorms. We stopped at Dominic’s first, so I could drop off his keys. When we walked in, I went over to his desk to write him a thank you note.

“Um, Kenzie, what the hell is that?” Hailey said, pointing to a pair of panties on the floor by Dominic’s bed.

I was dumbfounded. What the hell were those panties doing by his bed? They sure as shit were not mine. Dominic would not be stupid enough to bring someone here, would he? I know everyone thought he was up to something, but I always brushed it off because he was so different when we were together.

After staring at them for what felt like forever, I looked at Hailey and said. “Come on. I think we both need that drink.”

“Already taken care of. I texted Hunter; he’s on his way.” Hailey grabbed my hand to lead me away from the panties.

“Have I ever told you I love it when you take care of me?”

She nodded at me, but stopped suddenly. “Now what?” I asked.

She dropped my hand and walked back to the desk; she grabbed the pen, bent down to pick up the panties with it and then dropped them on the keys. She grabbed my hand again, and then said, “Now we can go.”

CHAPTER EIGHT

When Hailey and I made it downstairs, I noticed out of the corner of my eye that Dominic was walking towards us. I yanked on Hailey’s hand and practically ran to Hunter’s truck.

“In a hurry?” Hunter asked, with a sly grin on his face.

“Yeah, hurry up, Dominic’s on his way over.” I told him, still making a point not to look out the window in Dominic’s direction.

Hunter looked in his rear view mirror at Hailey. “Where are we headed?”

“Anywhere away from the asshole.” Hailey told him, pointing her thumb in Dominic’s direction. I tensed a little, thinking about what Dominic would see when he made it to his room.

Hunter put the truck in drive and pulled away from the curb. “Then we’re going back to my
