Once we got back to the dorm everyone said their goodnight's quickly and we were all off to our own rooms. I staggered into my room and tried not to trip over anything since the lights were out. I could barely see the silhouette of Kent's body huddled in his bed so I carefully, but hastily, got dressed. Throwing on one of my favorite oversized T-shirts with no bra and some underwear, I jumped into bed and curled up in my blankets. Before I had time to soak in the relaxation that was consuming my body I felt my covers being torn away from my body and Kent was suddenly laying right next to me.

"Kent," I groaned. "What do you think you're doing?"

"Where have you been all night?" Kent asked, ignoring my own question.

"Does that really matter right now? We can talk about it in the morning," I snapped back at him.

"Why can't we talk about it now?" Kent responded moving his body impossibly closer to mine, his hard chest pushing against my back and one of his arms snaked around my waist to hold me close.

"I'm tired, that's why and you don't need to know every detail about my life," I half-heartedly tried shrugged Kent away but his grip only tightened to hold me in place. Even though all I wanted to do was go to bed I couldn't deny that cuddling up next to Kent felt amazing, even if he was a jerk.

"Then just tell me where you were and we can go to sleep," Was he implying that he'd be sleeping in my bed with me tonight? As much as I was somewhat enjoying this I also enjoyed my own space and these twin size beds were just too small for the two of us.

"I was hanging out with Chunk, the twins and Squid, happy? Now let me go to sleep,"

"They were flirting with you all night weren't they?" Kent suddenly asked, his tone more serious than before, I could feel his cool breath on the back of my neck.

"So what if they were? Why are you acting so weird right now?" I snapped, turning my whole body so that I was now facing him and our chests were pressing against each other.

"It was Jayden, wasn't it?" He asked, again ignoring my own question. His tone was ice cold but he seemed amused at the same time. I felt his hand touch the small of my back and suddenly I couldn't find my breath.

"Seriously Kent, nothing happened so stop being so weird," I replied, rolling my eyes even though I doubt he could see me in the dark and rolling back over so my back was again pressed up against his chest.

Instead of going back to his own bed like I assumed he would, Kent stayed right next to me, one of his hands lightly caressing my exposed hip. I'm glad it was dark and that I wasn't facing Kent because my face probably looked like a cherry. I mumbled under my breath for Kent to stop touching my hip and he did for the moment, allowing me to relax. Since he made it obvious he was not moving anytime soon I would just go to sleep and stop this silly conversation before it turned into a fight.

Just as sleep was about to take over I again felt Kent's hand on my body, but not on my hip this time.

"Kent," I muttered, feeling his hand moving up and down my side, rubbing gently.

"You said not to touch your hip," I could hear the smile on his face as he spoke. He was such a little boy sometimes.

Kent wasn't the best at showing his feelings towards someone and I couldn't say I could blame him since I wasn't too good at that either. But as he continued to rub my side and eventually my back I couldn't help but begin to feel that warm sensation in the pit of my stomach. That feeling you get when you're around a person you care for or when you're about to go on your first date. I wasn't sure if Kent felt the same about me, he probably didn't, but either way the massage he was giving me was much needed and so relaxing.

His soft lips pressed gently against the back of my neck, sending chills, the good kind, down my spine and causing me to shiver slightly. I heard the soft chuckle he let out before he again kissed my neck.

"Do you want me to stop, Sadie?" His question came out of nowhere and snapped me out of the trance I was under.

"What?" Was all I could manage to say at the moment.

"If I'm making you uncomfortable then tell me and I'll stop," His words were sincere and even though I couldn't see his face I knew he was being honest. If anything that made me want him to touch me more.

"You're not making me uncomfortable, it feels really good actually," I admitted and Kent's hands were again rubbing my back, sides and shoulders.

"Good," He whispered, letting his lips linger at the back of my ear. "I'm used to giving massages. My mom used to make me rub her back when she would get home from work sometimes,"

I listened as Kent continued to tell me how his mother was an amazing lawyer for years and would often come home completely exhausted so he would try to help her as much as he could, along with his siblings as well since their dad would be gone for work quite a bit.

It was satisfying to learn more of Kent's personal life since he didn't open up much to anyone. I had to remember to cherish this moment because when morning came he probably wouldn't be acting this way. In fact, this whole thing would probably be our little secret. The cuddling, the talking, all of it. No one else would know about it.

I don't remember falling asleep but I must have during Kent's story telling from his childhood. When I finally woke up Kent was nowhere to be seen and I felt empty for a moment, not being able to wake up next to him. I sighed for a moment and then decided to get up and get dressed, I needed breakfast anyway. Last night was a night that would never happen again, it was a slight lapse in character for Kent who tried so hard to maintain that hard and cold-hearted demeanor, but I had seen a side of Kent that was kind and I wouldn't forget that anytime soon.

I stumbled from my bed, still half asleep, grabbing my shower caddy and tooth brush. After a brisk shower and a set of fresh clothes, I made my way down the stairs and towards the elevator. I wonder if that's where Kent was, maybe I'd run into him.

I mentally wanted to slap myself as I continued walking. It's not as if Kent came out and confessed his undying love for me or anything so there's no reason I should be overthinking this right now. He was just bored and I happened to be there, that's it. Kent most likely didn't have any feelings for me whatsoever.

"Hey, there you are!" I heard Charlie call out from in front of me. I looked up and saw both him and Dylan walking towards me.

"What's up guys?" I greeted while Charlie gave me a big and unexpected hug.

"We're about to go and get that new videogame everyone has been raving about and wanted to see if you'd join us," Dylan said as we continued walking in the direction of the cafeteria.

"Sure!" Anything to get away from campus again and to get my mind off of Kent.

"Let's go then," We turned around and headed back towards the direction I had just came from. As we were just about to climb into Charlie's truck Kent was parking his car and jumping out.

"Where are you guys going?" Kent asked, gazing at me while he asked.

"To go get that new videogame from the mall," Charlie commented, opening the door for me to slide in while Dylan got in the back.

"Oh, yeah I forgot that came out today," Kent mumbled, mostly to himself, looking down at his hands which held a bag full of Chinese food. "Well, have fun,"

"You could come too," I blurted out.

"That's alright, I've got some studying to do," He said, blowing off my comment and heading into the dorm without looking back. I wonder why he wouldn't want to come hangout with all of us.

"Did you see how much Chinese food he had?" Dylan asked Charlie as we all got in and took off.

"Yeah, he needs to lay off a bit. I get it's football season and all but if he keeps eating like that he'll lose his perfect abs that all the girls love," For some reason Charlie's comment upset me and I wasn't exactly sure why. I wasn't blind, Kent was obviously an extremely attractive person and he did seem to be quite popular with the girls around school. Not to mention his crazy ex Missy was still head over heels for him.

The whole trip lasted only an hour before we were back at school and the guys were heading to the library to play their new game. I wanted to play it too, don't get me wrong, but part of me was hoping Kent would be in our dorm room and we could hangout. My plan to go with Charlie and Dylan to get Kent off of my mind had definitely not worked. If anything I had thought about him more than I had before.
