“I’ll take that bet, I don’t think he’ll ditch me. I think he will try to include me,” I laugh.
“Wouldn’t be the first time,” Nic is laughing too.
Kiran is always trying to bring us in to share a girl with one or more of us.
It’s like he knows we are talking about him and turns his attention to us.
“Jay, you ready to go get more drinks?”
Nic bursts out laughing while I get up to go with Kiran.
Kiran and I start heading to the bar when he points into the crowd.
“Look at her, Jay, she’s perfect.”
I think he actually has hearts in his eyes. I start heading that way since I know that’s what he wants when I smell the most amazing scent, a mix of lemon and honey. It stands out above the other scents until it’s all I can smell. That’s when I see where he’s pointing, at the most beautiful girl walking past me like our lives haven’t completely changed.

Aly
The DJ is great, playing amazing songs that flow so well together. He could probably be somewhere besides a college bar but like us he is probably trying to get an education before trying for more. Most of us won’t ever pursue our dreams but just get a boring job post college. I hope it’s different for him. I hope I see his name in lights and his music on my phone.
I’m going to take advantage of his talents while he’s here though. A few of our mutual friends have joined us. It’s always fun dancing with a big group of girls. It’s intimidating enough to keep boys away and let us just have a good time. That’s what I’m looking for, not some random guy to hit on me and distract me from my fun.
Anna and I could probably dance the whole night away but eventually our feet say differently. This is why I tell Anna we should wear some trendy sneakers instead but she insists on a little lift. We are both clearly in need of break so we let the other girls know we are going to go sit down and start making our way over. It’s so busy we are pushing through groups of people to get to our table.
“Hey there!”
A hulk of a man steps into my path, Anna turns around, sees the guy, winks and proceeds back to the table of friends we had found a little earlier. Leave it to Anna to think I should be left alone to chat up the hottie.
Of course, I know she’s still keeping an eye on me from the table. She would never just ditch me, in case I need her. But Anna has always been a big advocate for me to get back on the horse after my ex boyfriend. It’s not him holding me back, I honestly just haven’t found someone I’m that interested in. In my experience guys are usually pigs.
My eyes slowly make their way up and up this guy’s body. He is absolutely built, his abs are defined enough that you can see their outline through the short sleeve shirt he’s wearing. His arms are rippling and his veins are clearly on display. I have such a weakness for defined veins on a guy’s arms.
As I finally make my way up to his face, I see him smiling down at me. His hair is a darker brown than mine and a little longer than normal as it flops to one side. His eyes are the exact same grey as his shirt, almost like he planned to match them, and his golden skin forms dimples around his perfect smile. Is it weird I have an urge to lick those dimples?
He is a total hottie, one I’m sure I would have noticed before. It’s not that big of a campus and I’ve never seen him around. With how big he is, I’m pretty sure he would be impossible to miss.
“Uh, hey,” I say, a little uncertain about what he wants. He kind of startled me, jumping into my path so suddenly. I feel like it’s taking my brain a minute to catch up.
He sticks his hand out and starts to introduce himself, “I’m…”
A hand claps on his shoulder, cutting him off mid sentence. I’m instantly disappointed at the interruption but my interest is peeked again by who caused it.
“Jay what the hell man? Why did you run off… oh,” Another incredibly sexy man sidles up next to Jay with a hand on his shoulder. When he realizes Jay stopped to talk to me a slow smile spreads across his face. I haven’t seen him around campus either. Did they transfer here together?
This one is a little taller than who I now assume is Jay. He is less bulky but still ripped and defined. His golden skin almost seems to sparkle slightly under the light and his teeth are a perfect white. His hair can only be described as golden, it is styled in a trendy look that is shorter on the sides and a little longer on the top. The smile he’s giving me is straight up flirtatious. He’s looking at me like he already knows what I taste like.
“I’m Kiran, and who might you be?” He flashes me that smile again and I reach out to shake his hand.
Jay looks irritated that his friend interrupted us, “fuck off Kiran.”
Kiran ignores him so I do too. I don’t want to piss Jay off but I’m equally as interested in meeting his friend. I do feel bad Jay got interrupted though.
“Aly.”
When our hands touch I feel a jolt, not strong enough to hurt but strange enough that I try to pull my hand back.
