I think over the question. “It sometimes feels like my insides are doing cartwheels,” I admit.

“Same thing,” Miss Sebastian says. “Do you know how he feels about you?”

Frowning, I pull a face at the phone, then bring it back to my ear. “Mamma G, he probably still hates me.”

“Yeah, with a hard dick,” she says drily.

Widening my eyes, I cry, “Noooooooo.”

“Oh, yes,” she chuckles. “Listen, baby girl, your vajayjay gets tingles, and his ding-dong gets hard. That’s how it all starts.”

I cover my mouth, then my eyes, then drop my hand back to my mouth as I make a choking sound.

“And it’s all okay,” Miss Sebastian continues as if she didn’t just embarrass the hell out of me. “You should be enjoying it. Oh, to be young and in love.”

In love? Is this really what I’m feeling?

“I guess,” I reply.

“Don’t worry about it, baby girl. But before you enjoy the ride, make sure you’re on the pill,” she warns.

“I’m just going to disappear into the ground now,” I complain, but then assure her anyway, “I’m on the pill.”

“Oh good,” she sighs relieved, then adds, “Make sure Hunter’s wrapped in a raincoat before he brings his cock anywhere near you.”

I let out another choking sound that morphs into a whine. “Stop already. I’m dying here.”

There’s a moment's silence, then Miss Sebastian says, “All laughs aside. Just go with your heart, Jade, and I’m here if you’re ever in doubt.”

“I love you, Mamma G.”

“Love you more than anything in the world,” she says. “I have to run. My chunk of hunk hasn’t had breakfast yet, and he’s probably prowling a ditch in the floor outside the bedroom door.”

“Yeah, go… uhm… feed him,” I say awkwardly.

“Get your mind out of the gutter,” she snaps, then with a chuckle, she explains, “I’m talking about actual food.”

I begin to laugh. “My bad. Thanks for listening to me.”

“Always.”

I drop the phone and lie down on the floor, closing my eyes.

Well, that conversation just happened.Chapter 17HUNTERSince I overhead Kao and Jade, the words have been playing on a non-stop loop in my mind.

Who are you falling for?

Is she in love with someone?

There’s a sinking feeling in my gut that has me coming to a sudden halt on the pavement.

“Why are you stopping?” Jase asks, glancing around us to see what got my attention.

Turning my head to Kao, I ask, “Is Jade in love with someone?”

“Fuck if I know,” he shrugs. “I just overheard her yelling I’m falling for him as I was passing by her room.”

“For real?” Noah asks.

Jase lets out a chuckle. “Well, I’m not surprised.”

All three of our heads snap toward Jase. “What do you know that we don’t?” Kao asks the question I’m thinking.

Jase just shrugs.

Noah pats him on the shoulder then gestures toward the lecture halls. “See you later. Kao and I have to get to class.”

Jase and I watch them walk away, then he turns a grin to me and wags his eyebrows.

“Is that code for something?” I ask as I begin to walk again. Our lecture is at nine, so we’re on our way to grab some breakfast.

We begin to walk again, and Jase just keeps grinning like an idiot.

“Seriously, what do you know?” I ask, frustration sharpening my words.

He shrugs again. “I’m just glad I won’t be the only one walking around with blue balls.”

“What the hell are you talking about?”

We enter the restaurant and go to our usual table. Sitting down, I stare at Jase until he says, “You and Jade.”

“What about us?” Letting out a sigh, I ask, “Are we even having the same conversation?”

We give our orders to the waiter before Jase answers, “Now that you’re done fighting, y’all are hot for each other.”

“Huh?” I blink at him like an idiot.

Jase rests his elbows on the table, leaning closer to me. “You were teasing her this morning about sitting on your lap.”

“So?” Fuck, I’m lost.

He sucks in a deep breath and glances up as if he’s running out of patience. “Dude, you were flirting with Jade.”

The expression on my face goes blank, and all I can do is stare at Jase.

I was?

Fuck, I was.

“I think Jade was talking about you,” Jase continues with his sudden burst of wisdom. “Think about it. You flirted with her, and she made a run for her room. She probably called someone to talk to, seeing as you confused the fuck out of her.”

Christ. I so did not see this coming.

I rub a hand over my face and let out a sigh. “You really think she was talking about me?”

“Yep, after that hot kiss at the club, there’s no doubt in my mind,” he states.

A waiter brings our coffee, and I watch as Jase drinks his. He doesn’t know about the second kiss.

“I kissed her again,” I admit.

Jase chokes and spews coffee over the whole damn table. I dart back, almost falling over in my hurry to get away from the flying liquid.
