He must have sensed me staring, because he turned around and winked. I pulled the blankets up to my nose, trying to cover that fact that I was blushing because he caught me, but I could not tear my eyes away. When he closed the bathroom, I kicked my feet and squealed like a little girl. I could not believe I actually spent the night with him, alone, and in his clothes.
A while later, the sound of my phone buzzing woke me up. Rolling over on my side, I picked it up off the bed. There was a text message from Hailey asking me where I was. I checked the time. Christ, I was asleep for two hours.
I could not help but wonder where the hell Hunter was, and why he didn't wake me up. I sat up and jumped in surprise. He was sitting at the foot of the bed watching me. "Damn you scared me. Why didn't you wake me up?"
He shrugged. "I like you sleeping in my bed. You looked so relaxed."
"Have you been watching me sleep the whole time?" God I hope I did not talk in my sleep.
"No, after my shower I tried to wake you up, but you weren't having it. I went for a run, and just came back and took another shower."
"Well, thanks for letting me sleep in."
He went over to his dresser. "Do you want a pair of sweat pants to put on for the ride home? I don't think it's a good idea for you put that dress back on."
I did not answer him. There was no way I could go back to campus wearing his clothes. Dominic would flip his shit. I took off the t-shirt I was wearing, threw it in the corner with the rest of his dirty clothes and stood in only my bra, and his boxers. I heard him gasp. Since I now had his attention, I decided to throw a little flirting back at him. I picked my dress up off the floor and slid it on. Then, I reached under my dress and slowly started pulling the boxers down; I glanced back and saw him watching me intently.
Smirking at him, I winked and asked, "See something you like?"
He shook his head at me. "You have no idea." He mumbled just loud enough for me to make out what he said. "We have to get the hell out of here." He grabbed his keys, hat and wallet and opened the door, saying over his shoulder, "I'll meet you downstairs, so hurry up."
After running into the bathroom and throwing my hair up in a ponytail, I met Hunter downstairs. I was still laughing at the chaos that was all around when I asked him, "So, how did you become roommates with Bentley?"
Hunter ushered me out the front door, "I uh, helped his sister out last year."
I did not like that answer and was content to drop the conversation, but he continued as he opened the truck door for me. "It's not what you think CC. Bentley had a party here last year. Things got a little out of hand with a football player. He wasn't taking no for an answer from her, so I taught him a lesson."
"Where is his sister now?" I certainly hoped she did not live there with him.
"She dropped out of school and moved back home."
Thank God!
"She was ok though, right?" I asked, wondering what he meant by the football player not taking no for an answer.
"No, not at first, but she is getting better."
Hunter shut the door, got in the driver's side and we drove back to campus. He dropped me off and said he would call me later on to check up on me. I walked into my room and Hailey was lying on her bed watching TV.
"Where have you been? You never texted me back last night."
"I ran into Hunter as I was leaving. He wouldn't let me go by myself so I stayed with him last night." I sat down on my bed and kicked my shoes off. "When did you get back?"
"Last night. I felt bad about you coming home alone after what happened at the party. Now I wish I hadn't."
"Sorry, I should have texted you." I really did not want to know but asked anyway. "What happened after I left last night?"
"I don't think you want to know Kenzie." She looked over at me then continued, "You really need to open your eyes, and see what is going on. He's not the same guy he was when you first started dating."
"Just tell me what happened? I feel him changing too, but I need him. I know you don't understand."
"That girl he was dancing with…" When I nodded at her, she continued. "He stormed off with her after you left. A little while later, they came back."
I gazed over at the picture of Dominic and me on my desk, remembering all the fun times I had with him. "Do you think he cheated on me?"
"Kenzie look at me." I turned towards her, tears on the verge of spilling. God, I hope he did not. "No, not that I saw anyway, and don't you dare cry. He isn't worth the tears. I mean it."
After talking with Hailey, I took a long hot bath. As I was relaxing in the bath, I checked my phone since I had not checked it since this morning. I had two text messages. One from my mom, making sure I was coming home for Thanksgiving. She wanted to plan Chloe's baby shower for that weekend, since that was when we would all be home together before she had the baby. The other one was from Dominic this morning, asking if we could talk.
A few hours later, I was getting hungry. I decided to text Dominic to see if he wanted to grab some pizza, and come over to talk. He responded back saying yes, and that he would see me soon.
About an hour later, he knocked before he came in. "Baby?"
I sat up in bed and pulled my ponytail tighter. "I'm here."
He put the pizza down on my desk, and came to sit next to me, "I don't know exactly what happened last night, but we need to figure it out. I can't lose you because of a misunderstanding."
I scowled at him. "You sure didn't seem too concerned about it last night; you and that bitch were f**king dry humping each other. How could you do that Dominic, ten minutes after I gave you a blow job?"
"She's my roommate's girlfriend babe." He reached over and put his hand on the back of my neck. I pushed his hand off. "Remember the girl that came over the other night?" I nodded, remembering exactly whom he was talking about. "That was Brittany; she's no one, no reason to get upset."
"She sure didn't seem like she is a no one. Not to mention, you made me look like a complete fool in front of your friends. You didn't even come after me when I tried to leave. I ran into Hunter, and he made me crash in his room because I was a little too drunk to go home by myself."
"No one thinks you're a fool. He made you crash in his room? Where the f**k did he sleep?" He stood up and started pacing in front of me.
I knew I was being spiteful. I could not help but gloat at my payback for his acting like an ass**le, so I told him the truth. "Where else would he sleep, but in his room, with me."
