Page 55 of My Heart to Keep
Again, she was a confusing person. “I don’t know either. Don’t take this the wrong way, but you’re moody. One day, you’re nice to me, and the next, you treat me like I stabbed you with a knife. What gives? And why were you such a bitch to me at my party?”
Before then, I hadn’t done anything to get on her bad side.
“Sorry about that. I was having a bad day.” She seemed like she meant it.
“I’m sorry too.” I regretted a lot of things about that night, like drinking.
“What are you two talking about?” Trevor asked, coming up behind Sloane.
I hadn’t seen him walk into the library. For all I knew, he could’ve been lurking in between the bookshelves.
He hung his arm over Sloane’s shoulder. “Sis, are you getting tutored too?” His tone was sickly sweet with a dash of salt.
Sloane went ramrod straight as she sneered. “I got to study for a test.” Without so much as a goodbye, she dashed away to a table on the other side of the library as though Trevor had the plague.
He set his backpack down then dragged a chair closer to me.
“You don’t have to sit so close.”
“I do, Quinn. I can’t read upside down. Besides, you smell good.”
I rolled my eyes. “I’m not interested.”
“Too bad. I make good boyfriend material.”
Not as good as Maiken.“Let’s get started. We only have forty minutes now since you’re late. If you want my help, be on time.”
Flicking blond strands of hair out of his eyes, he pulled out his algebra book from his bag. “I had something to do.”
“Nothing is more important than your grades. Right?” If he wasn’t serious, then I was wasting my time.
“Yes, teach.”
“Good. Now open your book to chapter five. I think that’s where we left off.” I sounded like one of my teachers when she was frustrated with a student.
Just as we were about to start, a brunette sashayed up. If I wasn’t mistaken, this was Claire. I wasn’t used to seeing her without her lips suctioned to Trevor’s.
I growled under my breath.
“Trev, babe, you forgot this.” She dropped a black thong on the table with a coy smile.
Trevor didn’t blush or react. He grabbed the lacy undergarment and tucked it in his back pocket as I gaped at him.Disgusting.But then again, he had taken a video of Maiken and me in a compromising position, so I shouldn’t be surprised.
Claire came around the table, leaned into Trevor’s ear, and whispered something I couldn’t make out.
Trevor snaked his arm around one of her thighs. “Claire, I have work to do. We’ll pick up where we left off later tonight.”
She kissed him on the cheek. “Counting on it.”
I rolled my eyes as she wiggled her hips and blew a kiss over her shoulder at Trevor.
“You’re late because you got a quickie?” I mumbled. “Unbelievable. Maybe this was a mistake.”
He grabbed my wrist. “Don’t go. I promise I won’t be late again.”
“It doesn’t sound like you’re as serious as you were the other day. Are you jerking me around?”
His green eyes darkened. “Is that what Sloane put in your head?”
