First year was coming to an end. A lot happened, which were mostly on the bad side. We all put our heads into the books for the finals. Being the only finance student Luke was struggling.

"I am gonna tear this book apart if I didn't get answer for another question", Luke grunted next to me.

"Calm down, bro. It's probably your nerves", Matt said as he slid next to me with our programming book.

"May be. I was able to solve these in the class", he said in a low voice.

"I think Luke is hitting puberty. You PMS is too much to handle", Abby mumbled loud enough for Luke to hear.

He stood pushing the chair back, "What did you just say?", he glowered.

Abby scoffed and shook her head. "See exactly. Calm your titties Luke. And I was thinking of it, what happened to Laura or was her name Flora?"

Luke sighed as he sat down again, "It didn't last. She had a fiancee and thank god I found out before something happened"

We all gasped, "Oops. It's  a good thing then. Atleast you are not into a psychopath who may have your tape and you have no idea what he is going to do with it"

The mood shifted drastically. I knew we were supposed to make Dustin break up with her but losing Papi and exams close I put a pause to the plan.

"We will, Ab. Trust me. I will break his face to break up with you. Just wait until the mastermind here comes with something or tell us to take care of it", Luke pointed at me in a clipped tone.

Plan was simple. Steal Ryder's phone, which was difficult because he was holding it all the damn time or worst, I had to complete the ten dates and beg him to delete the video. 

As for the Thomas guy, we had no clue. We still were blinding hit on them and hoped the best. 

I requested Ralph for morning shit for few days to avoid Ryder. I didn't have classes till finals and I want some alone time to sought out my thoughts.

"Good Morning Ralph", I wished as I walked into the door.

"Good Morning Emily", he said with a smile. God even someone smile was reminding me of Papi.

I took out my books, spread them across the table and started working on my paper. I was surprised I didn't pass out in the middle. I was lively. Positive vibes. Matt won't even believe if I said that. I had a history of passing out in study sessions.

The coffee smell hit me as Ralph placed the mug on the table. "Drink up, honey. Take some breaks", he said with a smile. 

"Thank you Ralph", I returned the smile. The warm mug was soothing. I closed my books and placed the cup on table and returned to work.

Books were packed and ready for transfer. Me and Ralph carried the boxes to truck that he was going to drive.

I was texting Nick when the front door opened. As only one in the library, I was able to figure out Ryder before he saw me. He stood infront of me with a widened eyes.

"Emily?". I never thought I could make a beautiful face this bad. The side of the face I punched was purple and swollen. My hands were itching to touch it and kiss it better. I widened my eyes in shock. Where did that come from?

"Why are you here? Where's Ralph?", he asked. He was concerned like I hadn't hit his face.

"Ralph went for the delivery", I replied and tried to distract with my phone. 

His presence was strong when he sat next to me. Our shoulders touch a bit and the cologne was hitting me like brick. He was fitted in black shirt, tight one and tracks. The cap and sunglass made him more attractive. 

My mind was racing with thoughts about us, about me touching him, leaning into him and press that plump lips against mine. I was definitely a hormonal teenager and I wanted to stop before it became a problem.

"Are you taking morning shift?", he asked tapping the table as I hummed the response.

"Are you still mad at me?", and that my dear, caught me off guard. After everything happened, I expected him to be angry at me.

"How can you even talk to me? Aren't you angry after all that happened?", I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion.

He chuckled and turned towards slightly leaning on the front desk. I didn't know if he did it on purpose but I could see his flexed muscles and I was on.

"I am. But not at you but at your friend."

"You better don't lay a hand on him", I said in a threatening voice. He nodded with a smirk.

"Are you stalking me?",  I rose my eyebrows.

"Do you like to be stalked?"

"Who likes to be stalked?", I rolled my eyes.

"Then I am not stalking you. I come here in the morning during my breaks"

Fine. Great. The one time I could avoid was robbed from me. 

He winced and gripped my hands away when my fingers graced the bruise.

"I am sorry". He let go of my hands slowly and placed them on the bruise. His eyes were closed and he took a deep breathe upon the contact.

"I am sorry", I whispered gracing his face.

"I deserved it"

"No, it was wrong of me. I shouldn't have hit you though it was your fault to provoke me", I said with small pout.

He smiled at me and our eyes locked. The green eyes were being eaten by the black in his eyes. The distance between us closed. His eyes darted to my lips and then were back on my eyes.

I fisted my hands when his lips touched mine. Fireworks started and my body was burning. He snaked his hands on my neck , rubbing his thumb on my cheeks. My stomach was clenching as he moved his lips against mine. 

He took my hands and placed them on his abs. Shit, I am going to die.

I moved my hands in the bumps. He flexed everytime and put a little more pressure into the kiss. 

A low growl erupted in his throat as he bit my lip. I pushed him in horror. His lips were swollen and no doubt mine was. Something hot happened and he was cool about it.

A slow smirk took over as he licked his lips.  What did I even get myself into? Did he kiss someone else before me? Why was I even thinking that? 

"Time for the next date"
