Page 10 of Shenanigans

Look at it as a joke, Monica said as I was getting ready for the blind date.

Rachel called it shenanigans.

Well, my body finds none of this funny as every part of me is sore.

My head throbs as I slide out of the bed to stand.

Please stay asleep, please stay asleep, I think to myself as I watch Schade laid out naked on the bed. The man’s body could be on a health magazine cover. And last night, in his button up, he was sexy as hell and could grace the cover of any fashion magazine. His long hair and green eyes. I lick my lips in appreciation for the male specimen he is.

And the things he can do with every inch of his glorious body.

No! There is no more admiring the man. I need to get out of here and we will go back to how it was before.

Neighbors without conversation.

I might wave to him here and there, but that is all he is going to get.

I shake my head and look around for my clothes.

Quickly slipping my dress on, I find the belt and use that to hold my boobs up as I grab my purse. With one last look over my shoulder at the man who rocked my world, I sneak out.

Once I cross the threshold I slide on my heels and dig in my purse for my phone.

Walk of shame – I don’t give a shit. I have to get out of here.

The joke is on me this time.

CHAPTER 12

Hot damn

SCHADE

My phone ringing wakes me up. It takes me a few minutes to gather my thoughts. I’m hung-over, naked, and in the smash shed.

Blind date.

Aryn Cole.

Oh shit.

I jump up with the realization my bedmate is long gone. Ignoring my ringing phone, the ringing in my ears, and my churning stomach, I grab my pants off the floor and toss on my shirt not bothering to button it up.

Rushing out the door I jog back to the dorms. Bypassing my door, I go right to hers.

After two knocks, she answers in a t-shirt and shorts with her hair in a wet, messy bun on top of her head. She’s showered, but still flushed from last night.

The look on her face shows her surprise in seeing me here.

“You left!”

“It was shenanigans, Schade. Your fraternity has the fake profile. My sorority has them too. It’s all in fun. Good times, nothing needs to change.” She looks at me, studies me. “Well, except maybe your clothes, you should change your clothes.”

Stepping into the doorway, I reach out and grip her neck pulling her to me. Kissing her, it’s me who devours her mouth this time. When she’s kissing me back as much as I’m giving to her I pull away leaving us both breathless.

“Nothing about us and nothing about last night is shenanigans.”

“Schade,” she says my name in almost a whisper.

“Aryn, you, me, this is something and I want to see it through.”

She bites her bottom lip. “This isn’t supposed to happen.”

I smirk, “Oh, baby, but maybe it is.”
