×Higan×
I hummed a tune from one of my favorite songs as I stepped out of the shower. I grabbed a clean towel and dried myself up before walking into my room to get ready for the day.
Today, I was in high spirits. Not only did I score an A+ on a test that I wrote last week but my relationship with Jamie was going well. I couldn't wait to see him and I hoped that our class schedules were not overlapping.
I pulled on a black long sleeved shirt and ran a hand through my damp hair. I should probably dry it out completely but I was running late for class. I guess the natural air from driving with the window down would serve its cause.
The sound of my doorbell echoed into the apartment, making my brow arch in wonder. Who could it be so early? Room service isn't coming over for another ten to fifteen minutes and I usually eat my breakfast from Starbucks or other coffee shops around.
It rang again.
"Hold on!" I yelled

×Jamie×I tried my best to keep my hands from shaking as I put the last book on the shelf. My heart was racing and having Higan's eyes on me wasn't helping.I wondered if there was something weird with my outfit but I knew that that was an excuse to keep my mind away from Higan. The book almost slipped from my hand but I caught it on time."You okay?" Higan asked from behind me.I let out a nervous laugh. "Yeah." I put the book on the shelf and turned to face him. "All done.""Let's get going then.""No way," I argued. "We haven't talked about what's been bothering you."He chuckled. "You're so stubborn."I crossed my arms over my chest. "My mom says that people who are easily swayed die early.""Fine," he said with an amused grin. "But don't get all pity party on me.""I won't."His smile dropped and he looked at his feet for a moment. It was as if he was mentall

×Jamie×"Where are you going anyway?" Darcy asked as she rolled over to her stomach."I'm not sure yet," I answered, turning to look at the girl laying on my bed, but Marcy held my jaw and made me face the front."No moving," she said sternly and continued to work on my hair."Are you sure that this guy isn't secretly shady and is planning to kill you and dump your body somewhere?" Darcy continued firing me with questions.I scoffed. "He isn't.""What makes you so sure?""Well, I see no reason for him to kill me and he's just not that kind of person."When my sisters found out that I was going out today, they were excited and insisted on helping me get ready. I was used to seeing Darcy bring hyper but having her twin join in was a change that I loved seeing. Marcy probably looked forward to it more than I did.I also told Mom about me spending the night with Higan and she
Higan FOURTEEN
×Jamie×We said our farewells to Nico before rushing out of the club. The drive and elevator ride to Higan's apartment was torturous and felt painfully slow as we tried to keep our hands to ourselves before reaching his room.Was it okay to want someone this badly? My body ached to feel him on me and I couldn't properly wrap my head on what was happening. I barely drank the cocktail that I was given earlier so, I was sure that I wasn't drunk.The elevator doors finally slid open and Higan grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the hall, almost bumping into an older woman who was making her way into the elevator.I muttered a quick apology to her and followed him until we stopped in front of his door. He unlocked it and we got in, me entering first as he locked the door behind us.As soon as Higan turned to look at me, we were back into each other's arms as we shared passionate kisses while our bodies burned with d

×Jamie×I zipped up my pants and buttoned them up before looking at my reflection in the mirror in front of me. I had worn the clothes that I had brought with me earlier and as much as I liked the long sleeved white t-shirt that was paired with my light grey shorts, I had one problem with it.The shirt couldn't cover the two hickeys that were on my neck. I furrowed my brows as I wondered what I would do about it. Despite promising to be home early, it was past one in the afternoon and I had to leave.I took a shower after having brunch while Higan cleaned up in the kitchen. It felt so homey and comfortable that I honestly wanted to stay longer. knowing my mom, she definitely wouldn't have that so I threw those dreams in the trash."What are you looking at?" Higan asked as he walked out from the bathroom.I looked at him through the mirror and gulped when I noticed that he only had a towel wrapped around his waist. His hair

×Jamie×"That's it for today. Don't forget to study for next week's quiz and all assignments are to be handed in before 4pm," Mrs. Brown announced, adjusting the round glasses that rested on the bridge of her nose. "Don't make me remind you."This was followed by numerous murmurs from the class as some people went forward to hand in their assignments in advance while others left as fast as they could.I already handed in my assignment earlier in the week so, I packed my books and stationery as I waited for the flood of students to clear.My weekend was amazing. On top of spending the night with Higan, my sisters and I went to the mall. Mom didn't pry and took everything well. She didn't bring it up yet and as much as it was a good thing, I couldn't help but feel like I was walking on eggshells.I hated it. This was a good thing and I was supposed to focus on the positive, but things were going too good th

×Jamie×Wednesday came in the blink of an eye. Only having one class today, I spent most of my time in the library until it was time to leave for the picnic. Natalia made sure to remind me through a text and even if she didn't, I wouldn't miss it.I nervously stood in front of Higan's car as I waited for him to arrive. He had already sent me a text, saying that he would be down in a few minutes.Looking up to check my surroundings, I immediately spotted him making his way to me. This is probably a late realization on my part but Higan was pretty popular. He attracted everyone's attention and it did not take a genuis to figure out why."Hi," Higan greeted with a soft smile when he was close."Hi," I greeted back, although my eyes couldn't meet his."Sorry for the delay. Did you wait long?" I shook my head while he walked to the other side of his car and unlocked it. "Get in."I did as I was told and Higa
Higan EIGHTEEN
×Higan×I picked up the empty chip packets and bowl, that previously had a fruit salad in it, from the carpet before going into the kitchen. Discarding the mess in the trash and the bowl in the sink, I went back to the living room.Five minutes ago, I was deep into a game that I started playing a few minutes after I came back from the picnic. Sleep soon caught up to me and retiring to bed was what my body sang hymns for at this point.I got my phone from the sofa and pressed the power button. I looked at the time and was surprised to see that it was almost midnight. It's weird how fast time flies when you are doing something unproductive.The doorbell rang and I looked at the door, wondering who it might be at this hour. I didn't order anything so, I decided to ignore it because it would obviously go away if the person thinks I'm not around or figures that they have the wrong apartment.I was wrong. The d

×Jamie× "Don't step on that!" Higan yelled and hit his fist on the arm of the chair in frustration after my character stepped on a landmine and exploded into pieces. "I tried my best," I said, looking down at him from the couch. "Yeah, you did." He reached out and stroked my hair before standing up from the carpet. "Are you having fun?" "Yeah, but it would be even better if I was actually winning." "Well, you won the racing game that we were playing earlier." "And?" He chuckled. "Maybe shooting games aren't for you." I put the controller aside and leaned on the sofa. "Probably, but they look so cool and you play them effortlessly." "I play quite often. I wasn't so good at first." "My mom would be on my neck if I played video games for more than two hours." "Well, I use video games as a stress reliever so, I sort of need it." He looked at the clock on the wall behind me.
