"You got your ID card? Stationary? All the textbooks you need?" Eden rolled her eyes at Bennett and said, " Yes, yes. Don't worry I got everything." It was Eden's first day of college. A week had passed since she came back from Italy. Bennett had been a perfect gentleman to her. He took care of her and made sure she got everything she needed. Grace had also come back from Italy. Theo and she had another falling out but she refused to talk about it. She was waiting outside Bennett's house, waiting for Eden to come out. She wanted to drop her off on her first day, much to Bennett's chagrin. He tried to reason with Grace that he wanted to go but Grace was adamant about taking her. Eden walked out of the house after kissing Bennett goodbye. She told him everything will be okay, and not to worry. Bennett had been panicking about her first day in college like a parent does for their kid. It turned Eden on how much he cared. But suddenly a small voice in her mind said daddy issues, and Ed

Grace's Point of View:Grace got in the car with Theo as she saw Bennett and Eden's car leave for the airport. She and Theo had decided to stay in Italy for several more days. Now that Grace was sure that Eden was in good hands, she felt that it was okay to have some fun for herself. Bennett and Eden had finally made up, letting go of all past mistakes. Grace felt happy for her and relieved knowing Benett would take good care of her. Theo was friendly to her the entire time, he acted like a true gentleman and made her feel good. The first night they met in Florence, they had slept together as a result of being too drunk. The next day they were ashamed of what they did, but deep inside, Grace knew that both of them liked it. However, they refused to show each other that it was all that they have been thinking about and decided to call it a ‘moment of impulse’, and to hang out together and go out on dates. The night Eden had called Grace before the incident, they had gone on another dat

Grace stepped out of the car and walked into the club with Theo. she realized how easy it had been for her to get into places her entire life. She saw the long line of people giving them the stinky eye for getting ahead of them and going into the club without waiting a minute.The inside of the club was too crowded. Theo held his hand out for Grace to hold so they didn’t get separated. She smiled and gladly took it, following him into the crowd. They kept walking until they reached the bar and ordered their drinks. When they started feeling positively tipsy, they went to the dance floor and started dancing.After a while, they felt thirsty and went back to the bar to get more drinks. They were chatting and laughing when Frace saw a familiar face. It was Dante walking over to her with a big grin on her face. When Grace saw him she felt annoyed. She knew that he would try and shower her with compliments in front of Theo and act all flirtatious and shameless again. Grace smiled at him,

Eden’s eyes rolled back in pleasure when she finished. She had to quickly bite down on the pillow that was kept next to her from time to time so she doesn’t scream too loud. Bennett got up from the floor and climbed on top of her. “Are you happy about me staying in the bed with you now?”“Absolutely ecstatic,” Eden replied smiling. Bennett lay next to her and held her hand. She looked at him and said, “I should probably get ready for college now.”“Me too. For work,” Bennet replied. They lay in bed for 10 minutes after saying that they should go. Neither of them was ready to be the first to leave each other’s side. Bennett turned to Eden and said, “I love you, Eden.”This was the third or fourth time Bennett had told her that he loved her. Each time he said it, Eden couldn’t help but feel like nothing was more important in the world than this feeling. She wished she could stop the time and somehow stop herself from feeling anything other than the attraction and closeness she felt to B

“Leo? Wh-what? How?” Eden was shocked. She knew that Leo was coming to America as a foreign exchange student but she had never thought that it could be the same college as her. Eden had begun to think that none of this could be a coincidence. She kept running into him in the most unlikely places. He was at the museum, then near her hotel, in Pisa, and then in her college too. “I know what you’re thinking. You definitely think that I am following you. Even I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw you here yesterday,” Leo said, stepping back from her as if trying to let her know that she was safe and that he wasn’t there to hit on her.“Yesterday? Did you see me yesterday? Why didn’t you say anything?” Eden asked, still not sure if she wanted to believe him.“You were just leaving in a car, and I didn’t know where you were going. I didn’t call you because I knew you would try to avoid me if you knew I was here,” Leo explained. “I know things didn’t end in the best way between us, but isn’
