I watch Tori walk away and I laugh. She's joking right? Does she really think I'm scared of her? I pull out my phone to call Trevor and I leave the Union to head to my next class. Trevor answers but in a low tone.

"Hey Cam, I'm at work, you okay?" he says.

"You need to talk to your girl"

"Alright... I just asked her if she's okay" he says. I roll my eyes as I march across campus.

"I'm serious Trevor"

"I am too" he laughs. "What's wrong?"

"Tori just threatened me"

"What? Why would she threaten you?"

"Because she thinks I have something to do with you breaking up with her and her losing her job"

"Wait... she lost her job? How? What happened?"

"I don't know, I didn't have time to ask her as she said she will make my life a living hell. Yea right... I want to see her try... stupid ass bitch"

"Cami calm down" Trevor says.

"No, I'm not going to calm down. I'm pissed off!"

"And she wants you to be, that's why you need to calm down" he says again and I take a deep breath.

"Fine"

"I'll talk to her. I'll get it straightened out"

"Whatever..." I say hanging up on him. I sat in class agitated. I couldn't focus as usual and I wanted to leave and go back to my dorm. But Trevor was right, she wants me to get angry.

Later at night, I actually wanted to see Nico. I was trying to do my homework but for some strange reason, I wanted to tell him about my day and ask about his.

"Hey" someone says and I look over at Desi.

"What's up?" I said.

"You okay?"

"Girl... it's been a day" I laugh shaking my head.

"What happened?" she ask.

"It's nothing" I say looking back at my desk. "I might get kicked out of school" I add and Desi laughs.

"What?"

"Girl.... I'm going to fight Tori" I say and she laughs.

"What happened?"

"She's delusional that's what" I laugh and she joins me.

"Well I have wine and brownies... trying to watch a movie?"

"Yea" I say closing my book and follow her back to our living room. We sit there and watch Zathura before calling it a night.

The next day, I was proud of myself because I went to class and I actually was paying attention. I haven't heard anything from Trevor and I'm hoping he's truly handling it.

I only had two classes today and I retired back to my dorm. Nico hasn't messaged me at all today and all I could think is he's just super busy with work and school. I ignore it and I was caught up on my homework. I lay on my bed when I felt the CD case under my pillow. I pick it up and turn to the back. I look at the next song to see Sunflower by Post Malone. I play it on my phone and lean back on my bed. I start scrolling through social media when I come across a picture of Ronnie. Someone took a picture of him eating breakfast as he was laughing. I smile at the picture and double tap.

I go to his comments and wrote out:

Did you order chocolate milk?

I was hesitant at first but sent it. I continue to scroll through Instagram and I found myself nodding my head to the song. I think it even played again. I try to hum the song as I scroll through social media when it said Ronnie responded.

You know I did(;

I smile at his comment and bit my lip. I go to like the comment and went back to scrolling.

"Who got you smiling?" someone says and I look up at Desi. She was still holding her book-bag and I turn the music off. "Also, when do you listen to Post Malone?"

"I like Post Malone"

"Name a song"

"Sunflower" I say and we start laughing.

"Whatever, come out here" she says leaving my room. I put the CD case under my pillow and walk out of the room. I see Nico standing by the door and I couldn't help to smile.

"Hey" he says.

"Hi" I say walking up to him.

"You look surprised that you didn't know I was coming"

"I am... we haven't spoke today"

"I apologize" he says and I couldn't get the stupid smile off my face. I think he realized and smiles and I look down. "Feel like packing a bag and coming back to my place?" he says.

"Yea, give me a minute" I say turning around going to my bedroom. I grab my book-bag and some extra clothes and threw it in my bag. I go grab some stuff from the bathroom and slipped on my converse. When I come back to the living room, Desi was talking to Nico and they both look at me when I walk in. "Ready" I said and he smiles putting out his hand. I grab his hand as he opens the door and I look at Desi. "Bye" I smile.

"See you later" she smirks and we leave the dorm room. When we get to the car, I put my stuff in the backseat and got in the passenger side.

"You hungry?" he ask pulling out the dorms.

"Umm... a little" I said.

"Good, I'm starving" he says driving down the road. He holds onto my thigh and I rest my hand on top of his. We pull into Puck's, and walk in hand to hand. Immediately my eyes see Trevor in the back corner. He was leaning on the table laughing with a couple people.

He was still in his business wear and he continues to laugh as his eyes come to meet mine. I stare at him and look over at Nico. I don't think he noticed Trevor and I ignore it. We were seated at a booth and Nico pulls out the menu.

"I'm feeling wings" he says.

"Same" I say when I hear people laugh. I look over to see Trevor talking to his people and a couple females had joined them. Is he... on a date? I stare at the girls and they both had blonde hair... just like Tori. That's his type, obviously.

"Camari" Nico says and I look at him.

"Yea?" I said. He stares at me then his eyes make their way over to Trevor. He looks back at me and I look down at the menu.

"You going to say hi?" he ask.

"No" I said looking at him. He stares at me and looks back over at Trevor. He sends a head nod over that way and Trevor returns it. I look back at my menu and we stay off the topic of Trevor.

When we returned to Nico's place, I was happy to be back and I felt like this is becoming... a thing? Wait, let me calm down.

Nico carries my bag to his bedroom and I follow him. He sets my bag on his dresser and I went to sit on the bed.

"What time is your first class?" Nico ask as he pulls his shirt off. I pull my knees to my chest as I watch him.

"I don't have to go in until 10"

"Good! We don't have to wake up early" he says looking at me and I stare at him. "But I'm happy I get to see you" he says leaning on the bed coming to meet my lips. I smile at him as he sits down on the bed taking off his shoes. "Thirsty?"

"Yea" I said and he stands up and walks out the room. I lean back against the headboard grabbing the remote and turning on the T.V. Nico returns with two Powerades. He hands me the green one as he comes to sit next to me. "Can I ask you something?"

"Shoot" he says.

"Honestly how are you single?" I blurt out and Nico looks over at me.

"What?" he laughs.

"I'm serious... how are you single? You're handsome, smart, have a job, a really nice place. Like how? What was your past relationships like? Or what happened with your old girlfriend? Are you just into hooking up? I just... want to know" I said and he stares at me. Oh no. Too much? "I mean if it's too personal you don't have to tell me... I get it"

"I guess I knew it was coming" he laughs. "Umm... my last relationship was about two and a half years ago and she dumped me"

"Oh. Did you like... cheat or something?"

"No"

"Did she..."

"No one cheated. Umm... I had really bad temper before. Umm... counseling told me to find something I love so I could release it. That's why I always work out and I'm always working. I was also too focused on making sure we had the best relationship... there was no time for errors you know? She wasn't happy and left me... while I was at work" he says and I stare at him.

"Nico I'm sorry"

"No it's good. Last time I heard about her, she was engaged and I'm happy for her. I have trouble... balancing work, school, a social life like any other college student. But... one little thing goes wrong, or pisses me off... sometime I just blow up" he says looking at me. "And I'm not going to lie and tell you I haven't hooked up here and there. But that doesn't define me. I'm human... I have needs. I'm also not here to disrespect you Camari. You and I right now... we're just going with the flow" he adds. I stare at him and lean over to kiss him. "What was that for?"

"Just... thank you for being honest with me" I said and he smiles.

"No problem" he says leaning in to kiss me. I let him when his hand comes to my face. I push my drink to the side as I go to straddle him and he holds onto my waist. I feel his hand travel up my back as it comes into contact with my bra clasp.

Is this about to happen? If I do this with him... there's no going back. Damn, why do I think so much about it? It's fine, he's fine... he's really fine. I need to let loose.
