The next morning, I woke up on the floor. I felt an arm around my waist. I turned and snuggled into his chest. He sighed before his grip tightened around me. “Are you awake?” he mumbled. I nodded before I sat up and stretched.
“Let’s agree to say that last night never happened,” I said. He smirked sleepily and sat up too.
“I didn’t shag you or anything. You just cried,” he said. I glared at him.
“As I recall, so did you,” I said. His smile dropped.
“Last night never happened,” he agreed. He stood up before he offered me a hand. I looked at the time.
“Crap! I’m going to be late for my class,” I realized. I ran into my room and took a quick shower before I dressed and ran to the front door. Hayden grabbed his keys and jogged out after me. He drove well over the speeding limit and stopped as close to my class as he could. I ran inside just in time. I tried to catch my breath as I slipped into my seat.
“Jordyn?” I heard from the other side of me. I looked over and stopped in my tracks.
“Lewis,” I breathed. Lewis had somewhat shaggy blonde hair and brown eyes. He had a strong, slight lean figure and a light stubble. I knew him. I practically grew up with him. I dated him for a few years.
“I didn’t know you were here majoring in Psychology. What are you doing here?” He asked with a smile. I shrugged.
“English Lit was boring me,” I explained. “I haven’t seen you since you moved to live with your mom. How is she?” I asked in a whisper as the class started.
“She’s good. We should really catch up sometime,” he whispered back. Something inside me sparked at seeing Lewis. He was my almost. After class, he walked with me to the Quad. “Coffee?” he asked. I nodded and smiled. It was just like old times. Lewis was always the perfect gentleman. He carried my books and kept up a light conversation.
“So how have you been? I think the last time I saw you, we were only 16,” he said. I shrugged and giggled as I nodded.
“We were in your room, and you were telling me that you were moving,” I remembered.
