Do You Still Love Me When We Meet Again? (Aubrey and Damon) novel Chapter 279

Chapter 279: Side Story 1 (The University Days)

It was the busiest time of the year a New Haven City University–move–in week.

The campus was buzzing with energy. Students were everywhere. Small groups scattered across the grassy slopes, chatting, studying, or just scrolling through their phones

“Hey, can I get your Grid

A girl with long, flowing hair and striking looks walked up to a group of guys. She looked at the boy sitting cross–legged on the grass and asked the question nervously

The three guys who had been chatting all looked up at her at once.

“Sorry, I don’t have a phone, Damon said, his voice cold and dismissive.

The girl’s face turned bright red Mortified, she turned and scrambled away.

Alex grinned. Damon, how many girls have asked for your Grid since orientation started? Have you even kept count anymore?”

Damon adjusted his light gray jacket and gave a faint, indifferent shrug. “Why would I bother?”

Mason leaned back, propping himself up with his hands on the grass. He stared at Damon’s ridiculously handsome face and sighed. “Damon, you’re eighteen now You’re an adult. You need to find a girlfriend and actually start dating. If you don’t fall in love in college, you’re basically wasting these four years‘

“Not happening. I’m not interested, Damon said, his voice flat.

Mason slapped him on the shoulder. “You need to be more like Alex. The guy’s been dating since middle school. A new girl every year–now that’s how you make the most of your youth.”

Damon wasn’t impressed. Dating is just a waste of time. It’s not like it ever leads anywhere. Graduation season is basically breakup season, so why bother?”

The ending doesn’t matter; it’s about the experience, Mason whispered, leaning in close to his ear. “Girls are soft, they smell amazing, and kissing them feels incredible. You haven’t even tried getting a girl into bed-”

Damon shoved Mason’s face away with one hand, looking annoyed. “Can we stop talking about girls? Let’s talk about something normal for once.”

Alex let out a snort. “Forget it, Mason. Don’t waste your breath. He’s like some monk who’s sworn off all pleasure. He wouldn’t know a good time if it hit him in the face.”

Out of nowhere, a girl jogged up. She crouched behind Damon and slapped her hands over his eyes.

Damon froze. He went completely still.

Alex and Mason gaped, their jaws dropping as they stared at the girl behind him.

She had her hair in a ponytail, with wispy bangs framing her face. Her eyes were wide and clear, her features delicate and soft. She was radiant, looking like a breath of fresh air as she smiled.

‘Guess who?”

Damon’s heart skipped a beat It thudded hard against his ribs, throwing his rhythm totally off

Her voice was soft and sweet, with a distinct Southern lilt Her hands were warm and soft against his skin, and a faint, sweet scent drifted into his nose.

He didn’t know any girls from the South Not among his friends, his classmates, or his relatives. No one

He reached up and grabbed the back of her hands to pull them away. The moment his fingers brushed her silky skin, a jolt of electricity shot through him, racing from his fingertips to every inch of his body

He’d shaken hands with girls at school events before, but it had never felt like this.

Was it because he couldn’t see her? Was that mystery why his heart was acting so crazy?
