“You belong at Harvard with me,” said Chad, waving my comment off. “It’ll make networking so much easier. Everyone loves you. We’ll be the ultimate power couple. No one will be able to stop us on our way to the White House.”
White House?Had Chad randomly decided that he wanted to be president someday? I decided to play along. “Oooh. Yes! That’ll be so fun! But I have two conditions. One, I get to wear lingerie in my official portrait. And two, we add a pool to the rose garden so that I can tan. And throw epic pool parties, of course.”
“We can discuss the specifics tonight when we go out to celebrate. What’s your favorite bar in town?”
“Grotto’s is pretty great. But that’ll have to wait. Tonight is girls’ night.”
“But I just drove all the way here from Harvard…”
He drove? Well, that was silly peasant behavior. He should have taken a private jet, it would have saved him loads of time. “Yeah, but Rule #2: Girls’ night is every Friday. No exceptions.”
“Rule #2? What are you talking about?”
Am I allowed to tell boys about the rules?I wasn’t sure. I’d have to ask Slavanka if there were any footnotes or additional info to translate that might shed some light on that.
“I’ll explain later. But right now, Ash and I need to get to class.” I dropped my towel and pulled on some super cute leggings and a tank top. “Thanks for the ring, babe!” I gave Chad a kiss on the cheek and then grabbed Ash’s hand and pulled her out of our dorm room.
“Uh…do you mind explaining to me what the hell just happened in there?” she asked.
“I’m not exactly sure, but I think Chad may have discovered cocaine. Hence the promise ring, the silly letter, and his idea of running for president.” It all made sense. Tons of rich guys eventually started snorting coke. We made our way downstairs and out the door of our dorm.
“Are you sure? He seemed kind of serious about all of that… And what makes you think that’s a promise ring? That really looked like a proposal to me. I’m pretty sure you just got engaged.”
I held the ring up. “This little thing? An engagement ring?” The idea was laughable. “Does this look like four carats to you?”
“Yes?”
“Nope. It’s only like two. Thus it’s a promise ring.” I held my pinky nail up to it to show how small it was.
Ash shook her head. “I don’t think that’s how anything works.”
“Sure it is. You’ve heard the old saying: give her four if you want your relationship to be more.”
“I’ve literally never heard that.”
“Weird. Anyway, it’s a fun little accessory. I’ll have to properly thank him for it tomorrow night. Since you and I are going to be a little busy tonight.” I wiggled my eyebrows at her.
She laughed. “You know you can hang out with him tonight, right? I mean, he did drive all the way down here. That must have been like a six-hour drive.”
“Nonsense. We already missed girls’ night last Friday because I’d just learned about the rules. There’s no way I’m going to ditch you this Friday too. I have the most amazing night planned for us.”
“Really?”
“Yup!”Well, maybe.I still had to figure out if Ash was down to bang Ghost or Teddybear. Or both. I suspected she was still jealous of what she saw at the party last Friday, even if she wouldn’t admit it. The whole ‘I fell asleep’ thing was a total lie. She was probably just too embarrassed to say she got off to it in the closet.Kinky bitch.“It’s going to be epic. No. Beyond epic!”
“And what exactly will we be doing?”
“It’s a surprise.”
“Uggh” groaned Ash. “You know I hate surprises. At least give me a hint.”
“Okay. Let me think.” I tapped my finger against my lips. I needed something that was spa-related. But also sex-related.Aha!“Cucumbers.”
“No!” screamed Ash.
“What?”
“I’m afraid of cucumbers.”
