《Beating the Buzzer | Book 1 in USC series》four
Advertisement
I woke up in a room that wasn't mine, my eyes adjusted to the bright light flowing in from the window. It was Carson's room.
I was at the head of the bed and he was at the bottom turned on his side. We fell asleep last night catching up over the past two years and talking about his future plans in basketball.
I looked around and really looked at his room. He was freakishly neat for a college kid. Everything was neat and organized, his desk was organized according to color, and so was his closet.
"Good Morning," Carson's deep morning voice alerted me that he was awake ."Good morning." I said back, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. "Well aren't you the perfect gentleman." I tease kicking him softly with my foot. "I won't touch you unless you ask," he says, no hint of playfulness in his voice.
"Good to know ." I slipped on my ankle boots and looked for my phone. I texted Rhegan to see if she needed help getting down the stairs, maybe a wheelchair. They were going at it all freaking night long. Rhegan fucks around but I mean that in the slightest way possible. She is the type of person that has everything planned down to a T, even with who she plans to hook up. She's not a control freak — she just gets off on having control.
Having a spontaneous hook-up was so unlike Rhegan.
"I have an extra toothbrush if you want to use it." he groaned shuffling to the bathroom.
I could tell that he was clearly not a morning person just by the way he shuffled into the bathroom.
"Yes please." I follow him towards the bathroom and we brush our teeth together in his and hers sink. I guess he ended up with the master's bedroom because it was a lot bigger than I expected it to be.
"Just place it the holder." he instructed ." You'll be over here a lot anyways ."
After getting myself situated and making sure that I didn't look as hungover as I felt, I walked out of the bathroom. I wasn't as nearly as hungover as I usually get so I was feeling much better. As soon as I walked out of Carson's bedroom, Dominic's door opened.
Rhegan tried to walk out of the room but Dominic pulled her back by her waist. "What— No goodbye kiss ?" Dominic ran his hands from her waist to her ass, gripping it tightly. Rhegan rolled her eyes with a huff and stood on her tippy toes, placing her lips onto his.
Her hands lazily fell off of his shoulder as he literally devoured her face. She moaned before pulling away from him. "This was a one-time thing." She patted his shoulder as he grunted,
"That's what you said after rounds two and three, should I go on." He went on making Rhegan's face turn fire engine red.
"Just call me when you need a good fuck."
Rhegan finally spotted me and motioned for me to hurry up down the hall. " Hey, Ayanna." Dominic greeted, leaning against his doorframe shirtless, eight pack and muscles on full display ."Good morning Dominic." I smiled as Rhegan pulled me down the hall.
"And Rhegan watch the fucking attitude before I fix it." He called out as we walked down the stairs. "Don't even," she warned as I opened and closed my mouth. She has to be freaking out over that comment on the inside because her grip on my hand had gotten painfully tighter.

"Stay for breakfast guys ." Haze lifted a stack of pancakes as we headed out towards the door. They looked so golden and delicious. My mouth watered at the sight of them. I turned towards Rhegan who was shaking her head no. "Please. You know how hungry I am when I'm hungover."
She shook her head before sighing," Fine."
I wrapped my arms around her and walked us towards the Kitchen. "Have I told you that I loved you recently?"
"You better bitch."
"So ladies ..." Kyler plopped onto the stool next to me." Did you guys have a fun night?"
I had a fun night but Rhegan had a fun night. There's a difference between the two funs. Judging by the limp that Rhegan was sporting, it was a different level of fun that she had. An intense type of fun.
I hadn't had one of those in while since my ex would've rather had an intense type of fun with one of UCLA's cheerleaders rather his own girlfriend.
"I knew you would be back." Dominic's voice boomed as he walked down the stairs in grey sweats and a white tee-shirt.
Classic fuck boy attire.
"Can we get this food to go please?" Rhegan pleaded pulling her hair up into a bun. "Holy shit," I gasped out once I saw her neck.
Dom sure did a number on her.
"What?" she asked as everyone's eyes widened once we saw her neck. Dominic just stood there with crossed arms and a smug grin.
Her neck was full of purple bruises. "Here ." I shove my phone towards her and swiped towards the camera. "You fucking leech." she screeched towards Dominic. "What? You didn't stop me." he shrugged his shoulders, popping a blueberry into his mouth.
"I will-" the sound of a blender being turned on interrupted her ."I'm sorry what ?" Dominic yelled over the blender, "I can't hear you."
"Remember that the next time you want me to do that thing." "Oh," Dominic drawled,"I thought this was the last time. "
"Shut it." Rhegan flipped him off as Haze passed her a plate.
"As if hearing y'all fucking all night wasn't enough." Marcus came downstairs making his presence known, "I have to wake up to you two going at in the wee hours of the morning."
"It's twelve o'clock Marcus." Kyler sassed ." Your ass should've been up. We got to practice in like an hour ."
At this, Marcus's eyes grew wide in panic. "You're lying."
"I'm dead ass serious ." Marcus turned around and quickly ran up the stairs to get dressed."Why is King running like a hyena is hot on his trail?" Carson asked, coming down the stairs a few seconds later.
And boy did he look good. He had changed into a white wife beater and some sweats that hung low on his hips.
Fuck me, please.
"Kyler told him that we had practice in an hour." Haze stifled a laugh as he slid me a plate.
"Why are you lying to King like that ?" It was Carson's turn to laugh as he sat down across from the very same spot where he had me in a comprising position.
"Because it's my job to keep y'all fuckers on your p's and q's," Kyler responded as Dominic handed him a shake. "Isn't that my job though."
"Co-Captain responsibilities my dude. " Kyler smacked Carson's shoulders."I got to give my captain a break sometime."

"What do you ladies have planned today?" Haze, the ever-so-loving rookie asked. Haze was so adorable and sweet, a little on the slow side but still sweet. " I have to study today, " Rhegan answered, tapping her foot on the floor. I frowned, placing my hand on her knee as she sent me a thankful glance.
"Did you take you ... today ." I widened my eyes because I wasn't sure that she was comfortable with me saying it out loud. Her eyes widen slightly in realization."Fuck." she groaned out dropping her fork. "I forgot to refill my prescription, shit, shit, shit. I have to make a phone call." She quickly ran out of the side door of the house and called her Dr.
"What's wrong?" Dominic asked, watching her from his spot, worry, and confusion written in his eyes. I turned towards him and studied him, "You like her don't you ?"
"Correction," He lifted a finger into the air ."I like fucking her." But the longing look he gave her a few seconds ago told me something different.
"Sure you don't. I'm not sure if she's comfortable with me putting her business out so you'll have to ask when she comes back in."I answer his question and turn back to eating.
"Good morning family." Abel came downstairs with a smile on his face. I half expected Elizabeth to walk down the stairs after him due to his grin ... but sadly that didn't happen.
"Abel fucking Creed," I huffed getting tired of this, "What the hell is your problem ?"I demand as he turns towards me wide-eyed.
"Uhh."He looks around dumbfounded." UHH." I mimick crossing my arms.
"Elizabeth, my very nearest and dearest best friend has been pining after your ass since freshmen year and you haven't had the balls to ask her out yet."
He'd better hurry the hell up before she gets snatched by someone else. I highly doubt that though. Elizabeth had sex with other people but that was all she would allow it to be. Just sex, nothing more and nothing less.
"What the fuck is up with that ?"
"He's a dumbass is what's up ." Marcus comes back down, smacking Abel upside the head ."And fuck you, Kyler. "
Kyler let out a bellowing laugh as Marcus threw blueberries at him. "Stop wasting food Marcus!"He shouted playfully.
"Ok look, I really like Elizabeth. But every time I work up the nerve to ask her out, I get nervous and chicken out." Abel tells me as Rhegan walks back into the kitchen. I gave her a thumbs up and she returned it before settling a glare towards the back of Abel's head.
"All good? " I ask as she sits back down. "Yeah. Can we drive by the pharmacy—"
"We took Uber, remember," I asked as I noticed her fidgeting with her hands. "Right ." She brought her thumbnail towards her mouth and started biting down on it. I pulled her hand away from her mouth as she let out a sigh and grabbed her fork and began to eat.
"Thank you," she said quietly.
"Are you okay, Rhegan ?" Abel asked as he noticed how off she was compared to a normal day. Now that all the boys were in the kitchen, they had also started to pay more attention to Rhegan's fidgeting.
"I'm perfectly fine." Rhegan responded as she popped a piece of pancake into her mouth."Let's not deflect the topic at hand sir," she waved her fork towards Abel, "When are you asking our girl out ?"
"Soon — I plan on actually going through it this time ." He nodded his head as if to convince himself ."Good. If you hurt her I will smother you in your sleep." She smiled sweetly as his face dropped.
"I don't doubt that." Abel backed away with his hands up and grabbed a plate.
After we ate, we said goodbye to everyone. Carson promised to hit me up after they were done with practice today and Dominic had Rhegan in a headlock, whispering into her ear. She tried her hardest to hide the smile that was appearing on her face.
Rhegan can keep up the tough girl act all she wants but even I knew that she and Dominic were far from being a one-night stand.
"Holy shit ." She mumbled running a hand through her hair as we got into the uber. " It isn't going to be a one-time thing, is it ?"
"I don't think so." she said, shaking her head as she turned to me ."He was so good, so hot, and so attentive. God— that was not supposed to happen. How did that even happen ?" She ranted bouncing her knee up and down. Like I said —she liked control and with Dominic, she most likely had none.
"I mean that lap dance was something serious ." I giggle remembering the events of last night.
"Oh my god ." Rhegan moaned rolling her eyes back as a blush crept up her neck. " I can't be feeling like this. I cannot develop feelings for him just to get fucked over somewhere down the line."
Rhegan didn't develop feelings for a guy after just one night of sex. Whatever she's feeling had been brewing for a while.
"Rhegan, I am sure that Dominic is not the type to fuck a good thing up," I assure her.
I'm pretty sure she spaced out because it took her a while to respond. Rhegan had ADHD and when she forgot to take her meds her symptoms were pretty bad.
"He's strictly a good fuck and that will be all." I make a mental note to repeat those exact words at her wedding. " Mmk." I looked out the window as she hits my shoulder ." I'm serious Yaya." She whined knowing that I didn't believe her ass for one second.
"Enough about me— What happened between you and Carson." She teased nudging her shoulder into me ." It was good. We didn't fuck or anything."
" I would've thought you did after what I saw last night— the man is a freaky little shit."
I turned towards Rhegan with a pointed stare because from what I saw and heard, she might've just hit the jackpot.
I've heard the rumors regarding the guys and just how nasty they can get. From the sounds that Rhegan was making last night, I think she might've died, gone to heaven, and come back.
It was no secret that Dominic was very skilled in bed. I could tell you that just from watching him dry hump her last night.
The car came to a rolling stop and we got out. "Do you want to walk to the pharmacy real quick?" We're still in our clothes but the pharmacy was just down the street.
"I have to change," Rhegan pushed open the door to our building." Plus I'm covered in hickies and I don't plan on getting judge by an old lady behind the counter today." I shook my head in agreement and we hopped into the elevator.
" We are in so much trouble."
You can say that again.
R+D!!!! I already have their plot figured out for their book. It hasn't been written out yet but I have a name and plot for now.
Also, I hope I'm depicting ADHD correctly. I'm doing my research carefully as I write out what Ayanna sees Rhegan going through when she has her moments. I will also go more in-depth with this in her book.

Grey Worlds
A mysterious incident occurred on a otherwise normal science centered world where all of the children from the age range of eight to sixteen suddenly vanished. “Where have their kids gone and will they ever return?” The now childless parents never got to really ask that question, because a strange new element replaced their lost children. This element slowly mutated the various animals that they once ruled over with their technology to the point that they were immune to their modern weaponry. The barren land of savages on a continent far away from theirs also had their children taken, but they easily mutated just like the beasts and only grew stronger thanks to the incident. A revolution of animals eventually took place after the mutations started to cause the animals to understand just how badly the humans ruined their lives and planet. Humans were the slowest to figure out how to use this strange new element to evolve, while their opponents were evolving and growing stronger by the day they couldn’t even surpass their modern technology. When humanity was on the brink of extinction a long forgotten event finally ended and their children finally started to return from the various worlds they were summoned to! It turns out that the mysterious new element that they didn’t know what to call was mana and that it’s everywhere in some fantasy planets. The children brought back a increase in technology and techniques to grow stronger with, which caused the humans to finally be able to build safe havens for their race. They grew stronger and started to finally adapt to their brand new environment. This is the story of a orphan who was taken away from his world, before he could gain a sense of attachment to the world. Who only has his older sister to care about and how he ends up adapting to the new world in front of him.------------------Dog notes by doggo First 'five' chapters aren't what the story is really about and is more of a prologue. The reason why some are separated into parts is because Doggo originally posted them as a entire chapter. The main setting is Ghost's actual world and not any foreign world. So this story was already posted once to another site or this site three years ago… and Dog is finally ending that three year hiatus! The explanation on why Dog was on a three year hiatus would of been written in the review section, but rrl doesn't allow self reviews. I'd have to create a alt just to self review which they obviously don't want even tho I'd not give myself any stars so its going to be here instead. The update schedule is a chapter a week till Dog get a editor and then two chapters a week till Dog gets enough money to pay for Dog’s bills. The final goal is to release a chapter every other day. Dog writes 4k word chapters so they are about twice as long as some of the other authors so every other day is actually more like once a day. ------------------- The part that was supposed to be the 'review' which Dog wont bother editing out repeat infomation since it wasn't supposed to go here in the first place. The first thing Dog will go over is what changed for the first 5 chapters, so that anyone who still remembers Dog's little novel and wants to continue from where Dog originally left off can decide whether or not to reread it. Also Dog is moving over to qidan simply because dog like the app they have. Dog won't go premium even if Qidan tells dog to and will simply move back to royalroad or create a blog.The things that changed over the years are mainly two important things. The first is that Dog changed the first person point of view to a third person, because Dog read a really bad first person novel and it reminded dog of dogs own novel. Dog also changed the thoughts of the character to be - - instead of italics. Finally dog changed chapter 3 completely to make the mc not seem like a homicidal maniac and introduced a important character in chapter 3.What happened to do in the three years that dog was away? Was dog at college and now needs money to eat? Was dog off in space after successfully becoming a astronaut and has now returned home with a completed novel or two? The answer is actually quite plain dog graduated from highschool and was supposed to only spend a year at dogs owners house to choose what major dog wanted to go to college for.Dog didn't do that and is still stuck with dogs owners and is sick of being a neet. Dog wants to move and buy doggy food, but dog is antisocial and doesn't want to work a simple 9 to 5 job for the rest of dogs life. Dog is a reader before dog is a author and the reason why dog got into writing was because dog wanted to write a novel without all the things dog finds annoying. Dog spent the first year reading various novels and dropping various novels. Dog is all caught up and has to much free time on dogs paws. The first year that Dog took off was the very same year that qidan came out so dog was naturally overloaded with free chapters. But now that pemium exists dog naturally has to limit the amount dog can read. Dog is addicted to reading like my very own readers and can understand your frustrations for dog disappearing for 3 years.Dog decided that dog will go back to writing 2 years ago. Dog wanted a decent stockpile incase dog has any other emergency so dog didn't post for a year but then dog decided to change the point of view which took another year.Dog has a patreon page https://www.patreon.com/mclaindog but there isn't any tiers there or goals till dog gets a editor. My final goal is to release a chapter every other day, but as long as Dog gets a editor Dog will do two free chapters a week.Dog will probably also make a kofi for anyone who just wants to send dog a tip and can't afford to donate money monthly while maybe having bonus chapters if the tip jar gets filled.
