“What? Of course I want you at the party. As soon as the guards realize that they’ve been duped they’ll leave you alone and try to hunt me down. Which will give you the perfect opportunity to come to the party too. It’s the perfect plan.”
“Are you sure we shouldn’t just stay in and watchThe Office? I feel like that’s so much better than going to prison.” She looked longingly at the TV.
“Prison? I don’t think so. Single Girl Rule #29: Single girls don’t get speeding tickets.” I knew it didn’t quite apply in this situation, but damn I loved quoting these rules.
“Having an illegal party at the dean’s house is a little more serious than a speeding ticket. We could get booked for a million different things. Underage drinking. Breaking and entering. Conspiracy to rape private property. Treason!” She got more frantic with every word.
“So first of all those aren’t even all real crimes. And second of all…I’m kind of hoping we do get arrested tonight. Have you seen how hot the campus police officers are? I’ll tell you what - if we get arrested, you can have first dibs on which officer you want to fuck.”
“No way. Nope. Uh uh.” Ash shook her head.
“Suit yourself. If you want me to have all the fun, I’m not going to complain. Anyway, let’s get back to the plan. I feel like they’re going to catch you pretty quickly, so maybe flirt with them a bit to buy me some extra time. Bonus points if you slap their butts and make fun of their little dicks. I’ll see you in a half-hour at the dean’s house.”
“I’m not going to talk about their penises.”
“But it would really help.”
“No.”
“Yes!”
“Chastity!”
I laughed. “Fine. Just make sure you get around the corner so they don’t see me sneak out. Go get ‘em, Chastity #2.”
“Don’t call me that.” She exhaled slowly. “I’ll see you in half an hour.”
“Make sure you keep your head down,” I reminded her as I opened the door and shoved her out into the hall.
“Hey!” yelled Teddybear. “Stop!”
As soon as their footsteps faded into the distance, I grabbed my umbrella, opened the door, and slipped out.
Phase 1 was complete. And if I do say so myself, it was executed perfectly. All thanks to the Single Girl Rules telling me about the sexy twins gambit. I hated to think about how much of a basic bitch I was before I found those glorious rules.
If phase 2 went as well, my bodyguards would soon be a distant, sexy memory.
Ready to Mingle - Chapter 4 - Road Head
Friday – September 6, 2013
Thunder rumbled and I shivered.
For the first time since coming onto campus, I kind of wish my bodyguards were with me. It was a little creepy to be walking alone at night without protection. But…this was for Ash. Sacrifices had to be made for besties. Single Girl Rule #1: Boys are replaceable. Friends are forever. And I was going to take that very literally.Goodbye you naughty little stalker boys.
I made it about half a block before I heard my bodyguards yelling behind me. Or, more accurately, my bodyguard. Singular. Teddybear was screaming bloody murder, but Ghost was as quiet as ever.
Damn it, Ash!How had she only distracted them for like 2 minutes? Had she not even pulled her tits out? I’d have to have a little chat with her about that. But first I had to lose my guards.
Ditching my amazing shoes was not an option. So I did the only rational thing - I ran out into oncoming traffic and put my hand out in the universal “stop” signal.
The driver obeyed, but just barely in time. He laid on his horn as the car skidded to a stop with only a few feet to spare.
“Dude, what the hell?” I said as I shook out my umbrella and climbed into the passenger seat of the car. “You almost hit me.”
He stared at me. He might have said something, but I was too distracted by his handsome face. And his forearms. And that cologne. Most guys on campus smelled like cheap beer, but he smelled like fresh grass and sawdust.
“402 West Main Street, please,” I said.
