“I heard that they are going to make us all take a lit and art class this year, though.” He made a face. “They’re trying to expand the vision and learning experience of the program.”
“But what if we’re not interested in the other stuff?” I frowned, slightly upset at the news. I had come to learn about the great art pieces of Europe, not about books.
“They think it’s all co
“I kinda missed the actual talk.” My face flushed. Damn A
“Oh.” Jason grabbed another breadstick. “You didn’t miss much.”
“Yeah, just the fact that the whole program is changing.”
I turned away to look at the other people in the group. It looked like everyone had already formed their own cliques. There were a bunch of obviously rich girls. I could tell from their clothes that they didn’t shop at Target and Forever 21 like A
“It’ll be cool, Lola. We’ll get to take classes together.” A
“Oh, now you don’t need me.” I rolled my eyes, and she laughed.
“Go find your Prince Charming.”
“I’m not looking for a Prince Charming,” I retorted and flushed as I thought of Xavier and how mad he had made me.
It had been a day since our night together, but I couldn’t stop thinking about our passionate lovemaking. I should hate him for the words he had said to me, but I’d always been a glutton for punishment. I wondered where he was at that very moment. Maybe he was on a date with a model or something. Only this time, he’d be whispering sweet nothings in her ear and telling her how beautiful she was. He wouldn’t be offering her money for her time.
“Ass,” I muttered to myself as I thought about him again.
“What?” A
“Nothing. I’m going to the bar to get a drink. Do you want anything?”
“No.” She shook her head. “I’m good.”
“Okay.” I walked away and wondered how long A
“What’s your poison?” a voice whispered in my ear, and I felt a warm hand on my back. I jumped and turned quickly to see who was being so familiar with me.
“Oh, hi, Sebastian.” I blushed as I looked into his handsome face. It really was unfair how beautiful he was, with his clear luminescent eyes and long lashes.
“I saw you come over for a drink. I figured I would come as well.”
“Oh, okay. That’s good.”
“I’m boring you, aren’t I?” He laughed heartily, and I wondered if he had issues since I had no idea what was so fu
“Not really.” I smiled and turned back to look at the drink menu.
“Let me buy you a drink.”
“Oh, no, that’s okay.” I shook my head.
“But come on. I want to. What would you like?”
“I think I’ll have a Gui
He looked at me in surprise. “Really?”
“Yeah, really.”
“I didn’t know girls liked Gui
“The fruity drinks? Really?” I smiled at him, hiding my a
“You know, Sex on the Beach, Cosmopolitans, Long Island Teas or whatever they’re called.”
“I think that I’m going to ignore that you said that.” I laughed.
“I put my foot in my mouth, didn’t I?” He looked mad at himself. “I know that I have the propensity to be an ass because my brother is the king of jackasses.” And then he smiled to himself.
“Oh?”
“Well, he’s a prince, but yes, he’s a jackass.”
“He’s a prince of jackasses or he’s a prince?” I asked, confused.
“Well, he—”
“Lola, there you are.” A
“A
“I’m sorry.” She looked at Sebastian and smiled at me. “He’s cute.”
“A
“Sorry, but I didn’t want you to miss out.” She made a face. “Not after that ass from last night.”
“A
“No. We just got here.”
“You’re acting crazy,” I hissed.
“But I need to get to know Jason better.”
“I thought he already asked you out on a date?”
“Well, not really. He asked me if I wanted to go and smoke pot with him.” She paused and made a face. “Okay, maybe he really asked me if I had any pot to smoke with him.”
“Oh God, that is not a date.”
“I know,” she whined.
Sebastian interrupted us. “I know where to get some if you need some.”
I froze in embarrassment. I had completely forgotten he was there.
“Oh, no. We don’t smoke.” I turned back to him and gave him a small smile. “We’ve both got enough problems without adding drugs to the mix.”
“Weed is not drugs,” A
“Is my Gui
“What’s so fu
“I’ll have a White Russian, please.” She smiled back at him and I gave her a look. “Hey, when in Rome.” She shrugged and looked back at the table. I was pretty sure she was checking to see if Jason was checking her out, which he wasn’t. She looked disappointed as she turned back to me.
“Your ‘no alcohol policy’ lasted for how long?” I shook my head.
She gri
“Oh?”
“Yeah. I mean, he’s hot, but what’s hot at the end of the day?”
I smiled to myself at her words. How quickly she had turned on and then off. She was like a guy like that, always wanting something or someone badly and then letting some small thing distract or a
“Maybe we should have stayed home and watched EastEnders.”
“A
“I just feel bad that I dragged you out.” She made a face, and I could see the disappointment in her eyes. This wasn’t about me, this was about her and the fact that Jason didn’t seem to be as interested as she had hoped.
“Excuse me please, Sebastian.” I gave him a small smile as he looked at us both in concern. “We’ll be back inside in a moment.”
“Take your time, ladies. I will have the drinks ready and waiting for you.”
“Thanks.” I grabbed A
