Call me. -Carly
"Shit, man. I swear I didn’t do anything." I shook my head.
"I know you didn't. That's what's so annoying. You don't have to do anything to get a girl." He sighed, sinking even lower in his chair. He was in a bad mood now, and I know it won't go away soon.
"Sorry, I can't do anything about it." I shrugged, thankful for the caffeine now coursing through my system.
"Yeah, whatever." I saw a flash of red hair walk by us, instantly drawing my attention. The girl slowly turned, filling me with disappointment when it wasn't my Rose. I can't believe how badly I want to see her again already. It's been less than an hour, but it feels more like days.
"You've got it bad." Leo smirked.
"What?" I snapped my focus back to him.
"You had hoped she was Olive." He pointed to the redhead.
"Olive?" I curled a brow.
"Dude, the girl you were with this morning."
Olive. I smiled, loving the fact I now knew her real name.
"She's Rose to me." I smirked, taking another sip of my coffee. Leo rolled his eyes, still in a crap mood. My phone buzzed in my pocket, and even though I know she doesn't have my number, I somehow hope it was her.
Lisa:Well?
Nope, just the annoying sister.
Lucas:Well, what?
Lisa:Uh, hello? Red head, feisty, beautiful, absolutely perfect for you. Any of this ringing a bell?
I rolled my eyes, reading her text. I don't know what she is expecting.
Lucas:What about her?
Lisa:You're so annoying. What happened? Is she still with you?
Lucas:She left this morning. Leo came in.
Lisa:When will you see her again?
It's a question I'm asking myself. I want to see her again, but I don't know how I will. Last night the universe lined things up just right for her and I. I doubt it'll do it again. This was my one chance to get further than last time, but I'm in the same boat. Her in my mind, but not in my arms.
Lucas:No clue. Hopefully soon.
Lisa pestered me for a while longer, but eventually I ignored her million and one questions, some of which I didn't even want to ask myself. Leo sat pouting a while until I realized Leo was the key to seeing my Rose again. Although, how do I get him to help when he's in a mood?
"I'm gonna go. I am meeting up with the guys to work on a stupid group project." Leo rolled his eyes.
"Want me to come help?" I offered, feeling bad for him, but also hoping for a run in with Rose.
“You want to see her again." He shook his head.
"No, I want to help. I promise I won't leave your side. I'll even train my bladder to go when you go." He smirked with a breath of air when I winked at him.
"Alright, man, but you better help."
"Aye, aye, capitan." I hadn't been on campus since I graduated in the spring. I should have figured she attended Columbia. She must be as intelligent as she is sexy. I wonder what she's studying. My phone rang as we were getting into the car. I answered through the car system, making the mistake of not looking at the collar ID before I did.
