bar.
“ So what
happened to make you want to ‘come out’ if you will?”
“ I broke up
with Jason and he didn’t take it so well, when he realised I wasn’t
going to sleep with him , he
said and I quote ‘It’s OK to be nervous but you have nothing to
worry about, my friend told me that fat girls are the best in bed
because they never know when they are going to get it again’” I
smirk at him.
“ What did you
say to that?” he asks and when Sophie snorts he turns back to me
looking very amused much to my amazement.
“ Well I had
avoiding him all week since we got back and he was waiting for me
when I got out the shower and hit me with that bombshell so I did
what anyone in my position would do … I dropped my robe and got
dressed in front of him then left the dorm with him shouting apologies at me” I shrug and he
bursts out laughing, full on bent over hands on knees laughing,
after several attempts of us all trying to get him to stop laughing
I shake my head and head over to the bar where I am immediately
approached by a tall medium built man who looks a few years older
than me about twenty six I would guess.
“ Hey”
“ Hi” I smile
back at him
“ I don’t think
I have seen you her e before
have I, are you new to the area?” he asks while trying to keep his
eyes on mine but failing several times.
“ No,
it’s my first time here, but
I go to uni here”
“ Well I can
understand your boyfriend keeping you inside all to himself, I’m
assuming you have one…”
“ Not as of a
few hours ago” I shrug and pay for my drink.
I’m not all
that surprised when Luke comes up to me and slings an arm around my
shoulders, I pretty much worked out that the guy I’m talking to is
only interested in getting me into his bed.
“ I wondered
where you got to” Luke greets me pulling me into his
side.
“ Needed a
drink” I lift my glass to him and turn to guy still staring at me
and catch him looking down my shirt, “This is Luke, my friend” I
introduce him then realise I don’t even know his name.
“ No I know,
How you been Luke, how’s Kate?”
“ She’s good,
she will be here later”
“ O kay, well I’ll catch
up to you later” he says to me as he makes his way over to a table
full of men, none of who I can see because they are all facing away
from me, I turn my attention back to Luke and smirk at
him.
“ Nice, very
smooth by the way” I nudge his shoulder with my own.
“ Just looking
out for you, that’s Adam Jenks, stay away from him. He will try his
hardest to get you into his bed and that’s all he’s interested in”
he warms me looking very stern and fatherly making me
chuckle.
“ I kind of
figured that out before you got here, I might be a virgin but I’m
not clueless”
“ Hey, don’t
say the V word around here Brooke, these guys will have a field day
with that” he growls at me.
“ Okay , Okay. Let’s go
find Sophie. Lead the way my knight in shining armour” I follow him
through the crowded bar to find Sophie near the back talking to
Matt and man I don’t recognise.
“ Hey, you
having fun?” Sophie asks, pulling me in for a quick hug.
“ I was until
Luke spoilt it for me” I complain adding a pout for good measure
making Luke sigh and roll his eyes.
“ What do you
mean?”
“ She was
talking to Adam at the bar” Luke says as if that’s the only
explanation he needs to give, which apparently it is.
“ Oh no Brooke,
stay away from him, he’s a player” Matt warns but Sophie just rolls
her eyes like I did.
“ I know, you
lot do realise I’m not stupid, besides I was having fun, if he
thinks he can charm me into his bed then I’m not going to stop him
trying I have a feeling it would be fun to wind him up”
“ What happened
to the quiet shy girl we all know and love?” Matt asks looking far
too serious.
“ Don’t worry,
this one is way more fun” Sophie reassures him “It’s entertaining
to watch” she grins at me making me
