opened the door. The cool air washed over
me as I tried to calm my racing pulse. I darted my eyes over to the
clock next to the doorframe. 11:30. Only thirty more minutes and I
was going home. Thank god. I didn’t think my heart or my nerves
could take one more encounter like that one. And yet, deep down, I
really hoped it would happen again. Soon.
     

Chapter 6
    You Spin Me Right Round
Baby
     
    I couldn’t get what
happened that morning out of my mind. How could that one small
connection of our fingers make me feel so alive? The electricity
I’d felt was still pulsing through my veins as I walked back to the
dorm. This was insane. I hardly knew him and what I did know of
him, I certainly didn’t like. He was rude, cocky, arrogant and
insensitive and as if that wasn’t enough, he was a total dickweed
too. So why couldn’t I stop thinking about him?!
     
    As soon as my dorm was in
sight, I practically ran to my room. I needed some space. I had to forget the whole
thing.
     
    Amy was sitting on her bed
with her laptop in front of her. I closed the door behind me and
leaned against it. Letting my head fall back and closing my eyes, I
let out a long sigh. When I finally opened them to peek over at
her, she was watching me with a questioning look on her face.
Great, I was going to have to relive it all over again.
     
    Leaning her head to one
side she eyed me with concern. “You ok honey? You don’t look so
hot.”
     
    I walked over to my bed
and collapsed onto it. I flung my forearm over my eyes. This was
exhausting. “He came into the shop again today. I tried to be
polite. He decided to be an ass.”
    I exhaled loudly and sat up with my legs
hanging over the edge of the bed. “Anyway, we got into it in the
middle of the shop and I told him off. And not quietly either.” I
stared at my feet and then sheepishly raised my head to look at
her.
     
    Amy was staring at me wide eyed with her
hand over her mouth.
    “I tried to be
professional so I apologized for my behavior and tried to start
again. The jerk laughed in my face! We did a little more to and fro
and then he finally ordered his coffee. When I asked him to pay, he
seemed confused. It was like he’d never been asked to use cash to
purchase goods or something. When he finally handed me the money,
our hands touched and…” I swallowed hard and took two deep calming
breaths. “It was like electricity Amy. My heart was pounding and my
pulse was racing. His scent was amazing and it was lingering for
what seemed like forever. I can still remember the smell even now.
I can’t stop thinking about it. When he winked at me I swear I felt
my panties get looser!” Just thinking about it again was making my
blood warm. My cheeks were flushed and I could feel the heat
radiating from my skin.
     
    Amy stood up and sat next
to me on the bed. She put one arm around me and rested her head on
my shoulder. “Well I’d say you’ve had a hell of a week. First you
crash into Oliver, who is so into you by the way; we’ll get to that
in a minute. Then, you almost break some guy’s nose at work. And to
top it off you go and fight with him and he gets you all hot under
the collar. Damn girl. What the hell do you do to these guys?
Oliver was practically undressing you with his eyes last night. The
entire time we were on that stage he could not take them off you.
It didn’t change once we sat back down. And I saw the way you were
smiling at him. His eyes, when he bit his lip, were practically
begging you to sink your teeth into it for him! And now there’s this guy
at the coffee shop. Whatever it is you’re doing…keep doing it! Have
a little fun. Take a chance. If he comes into the shop again just
play it cool. You know, be aloof, even if you are boiling hot on the inside!” She
winked at me and smiled so wide, I could see her perfect white
teeth.
     
    After we got back from the
bar last night, we were both so tired we never had the chance to
discuss the whole Oliver
