“You almost cast a spell on me, King,” I say, before leaning down and giving him another smack on the lips.
I walk to my car and sit in the driveway for a few moments, trying to process it all. Being with Travis felt different today. It felt real and meaningful, as if our souls touched for the first time since we were kids. For the first time in years, I saw the boy I fell in love with. And I hope he never leaves again.
Once I start the car, I realize how late I am.Shit!
Hurriedly, I park at my dorm and run across campus, arriving to class late. I sit down, hair a mess, with swollen lips. I try to listen to my professor speak about managing projects with a focus on long-term strategies instead of day-to-day issues, but my mind goes to Travis.
After class, I text him.
Viola
Courtney is begging me to come over. Do you need anything?
His response is immediate, and I instantly smile.
Travis
Just you.
Viola
You should be resting.
Travis
You should be sitting on my face.
Viola
OMG! Now your phone is evidence. It must be destroyed.
I’m half tempted to send him some of those crazy dick pics, but I refrain—for once.
Travis
I’m taking a nap now. Nurse’s orders ??
Viola
Sweet dreams.
I send the text quickly as I throw my bag in the back of my car.
Travis
Only if you’re in them.
Viola
Gag. You’re laying it on thick.
Travis
You like it thick.
Shaking my head, I should’ve anticipated that response from him.
Viola
