interested in whatever you have to offer so no more cheesy pick-up lines. And Rule #3 don’t get on my nerves.”
“Wow, anything else?” He laughs.
“Do we have a deal or not?” I ask, ignoring his sexy laugh.
“Scouts honor,” he replies holding up his fingers in what I can only assume is a Boy Scout gesture.
“Fine, let’s get this over with,” I reply with a sigh and proceed to follow after Katie and Brian.
“So what is it you hate about me so much, if I am allowed to ask?” Travis asks beside me.
“I don’t hate you. I don’t know you well enough to hate you. I just know what guys like you are all about and I’m not interested in being some sick notch on your bedpost.” I state putting as much attitude as possible into it.
“You’re awfully judgmental for someone who doesn’t know a thing about me,” He says, looking hurt.
“Am I wrong?” I ask, keeping my eyes on the floor.
“Wow, I mean no offense you’re hot and all but beauty isn’t just on the outside. You’re not really my type so don’t flatter yourself to much darlin.” He states with a huff.
“Who’s judging who now?” Taking obvious offense to his statement. How dare he think I’m not beautiful on the inside. Like he has room to talk, he doesn’t know me either. Why I am so angry? I don’t even like the guy, even if I have imagined what those perfect lips would feel like kissing their way down my neck. I mentally shake my head, no…thoughts like that were not allowed to flow through my mind.
“What, you can dish it but can’t take it?” he smirks.
“Unbelievable, you’re something else you know that! You don’t know anything about me, how dare you judge me like that!” I shout and stomp my foot like a spoiled toddler. Why am I letting him bait me like that, why do I care. I don’t have to take this, I turn around and stalk off away from them. I can hear them all laughing as I turn the corner. I need a new roommate.
Travis
I can’t believe I let her bait me in like that. Who the hell does she think she is? I know I shouldn’t have said what I did, but she doesn’t know me either. I haven’t even known this girl a week and she’s already getting under my skin.
“You’re going to have your hands full with that one,” Brian laughs as he elbows me.
“Hey stop it, she’s a super nice girl maybe she just doesn’t like men. Or maybe it’s you.” Katie smiles.
“Whatever, it doesn’t matter. What do I care what some girl I don’t even know thinks about me.” I shrug.
“Whatever you say man,” Brian chuckles.
I trail behind Brian and Katie for a while, in and out of every clothing store you can imagine. My eyes start looking around, searching rather…searching for the blue eyed goddess that I can’t seem to wipe from mind. Shit, I’m a fuckin idiot…I have to find her and tell her I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said those things to her.
“Hey I’ll find you guys later, I’m going to go walk around.” I say.
“Uh-huh, sure you are…go get her bro,” Brian winks at me. He’s knows what I’m doing.
I start back tracking our steps, checking all the stores we had already been too. I head back toward the Macy’s since that’s where I saw her last, but I still don’t see any sign of her. Shit…maybe I’m too late. Maybe she left. Would she do that? Just leave her friend here? Desperate, I start asking random people if they’ve seen her, giving them a detailed description. No luck, she’s just vanished.
I’m about to give up when I hear someone sniffling. Following the sound it leads me down toward the hallway near the bathrooms. I silently pray it isn’t Chloe I hear, if I made her cry I’ll shoot myself. Last time I made a girl cry was 2 years ago, with Sam.
