- Good night, my sunshine! - I whisper in your ear before I kiss Brooke's lips lightly.
By closing my eyes, I allow myself to sleep a quiet, dreamy sleep. All involving a little blonde and very naughty.
Chapter 09
Brooke
- I still can't believe you just took a foot in your parents' ass. - says Jane in a surprised tone. - What will you do now?
- Well, I still have my dorm room till the end of the semester and my job at Six. -I say with a resigned sigh. - For now, I'll just think about graduating and getting the scholarship at Harvard, then I'll think about how things will be.
Jane laughed, so much so she frowned when she looked at the bruise on my nose. Immediately, we changed the subject and talked for a few minutes about the attack I suffered.
- From what I hear, Aron's out on bail.
- Yes. - I sigh when I answer. - Both he and Shane and Bruce have restraining orders a hundred yards away from me. Still, I don't feel safe.
- I thought Ryder talked to his father about it.
- Yeah, but the hearing fell into someone else's hands. - I answer by passing my hands over my face. - He hopes to be the judge of the conviction hearing.
- Well, anyway, I hope they rot in jail! - Jane says getting up.
I frown in a confusing way.
- Where are you going?
- I'm gonna find the Phi Iota Mu people! - Jane answers. Before I replied, she raises one hand and complete. - There's nothing to worry about. They're a bunch of nerds. If you're gonna hit somebody, I'm sure it's the Kapa boys, not me.
I shake my head when she throws her hair and walks away. I doubted very much what she had said and was afraid that the friction between the two fraternities would affect Jane. I take a deep breath by placing my hand on my chest and I go back to my concentration on the book and the notebook.
- Hello! Can I sit here?
A deep, deep voice draws my attention. I raise my head to see who it was and my eyes are gifted with the sight of a beautiful pair of brown eyes, hidden behind an elegant frame and framing the beautiful angular face of a brunette.
- Hey, Ash! - greeting Ash, who smiles with satisfaction. - Sure! It will be a pleasure to share the table with you.
Settling down, he smiles sitting on one of the chairs. Ashton Salvatore was a medical student. I knew him from his free time in the library when he ran away from Aron's friends to read. He was dark, tall and had a killer smile. I suspected he was going to the library to flirt with me.
We engaged in a lively conversation about common interests. I was so excited, I could barely tell I was being watched from afar by Ryder. He was coming to meet me with Jace. He didn't look happy at all and grumbled about something with Jace, who laughed at something he had said. I was curious to know what it was about and why Ryder was so angry. Ryder came to the table where we were and, without saying anything, throws himself in the chair giving me a fright. The bottle of water I drank turned into my hand wetting my shirt.
- Ryder! I told you, that's not funny at all!
I wiped off the water I had spilled on the silk blouse I was wearing. Thank God the jeans I was wearing didn't get any damage.
- I thought it was funny! - Ryder says smiling at me, I direct a frown at him. - And unless Ash is moody, he must have thought it was funny, too.
Ash shakes her head in negative.
- You know, I haven't decided whether this barbaric way of doing things is to show up or because you don't have an education. - Ash says stand up.
Ryder stretches out in the chair stretching out and puts his hands behind his head with an ironic smile on his lips.
- Uncanny, certainly! - Ryder says in debauched tone. - Thank you very much, Salvatore, for taking care of Brooke. Now that I'm here, you can leave.
- Ryder! - I scream slapping you on the shoulder. - Is that any way to talk to Ash? You're not my father to keep kicking people out like that.
Ryder grumbles by passing his hand over his shoulder.
- All right, Brooke! - Ash sighs. - Ryder was never much of a courtesan anyway. Your behavior doesn't surprise me at all.
Ash pauses, smiling ironically at
