Chapter 3 - Liv POV

I didn't even realize I had gotten so far. I'm at 45 minutes, I need to turn around. This was only supposed to be a 80 minute run and I'm 7 miles away from the school. My teammates are already turned around. They know they can't keep up with me.

I got so distracted thinking about Zeke. He's so nice and fun when we're together working for class. Last night when we were in his dorm working on our presentation he spilled his ramen on his shirt and man when he took it off. His abs were perfectly sculpted. I laughed at the farmers tan line he had from football. He got so embarrassed and blushed. I don't know why, we're friends. Though I didn't want to be. I wanted so much more. I wanted to bang him.

I blushed at my thoughts. I kept thinking about him, that's why I got so lost in this run.

I know I can't have him. He loves Stella so much. I'm pretty sure he thinks of me as a sister.

I got back from the run in 85 minutes. I had to book the last 4 miles. Coach wasn't even surprised that I was late, it happens a lot.

Ash gave me a a shocking smack on the ass that brought me back to reality.

"Dude omg" I laughed in her direction.

"Tsk tsk. Late again. Where does your head go on those runs?"

I could feel my face burning as it turned red.

"Ooo you've got it so bad. Stop working on projects with him and give yourself some space. You know that you just need to back away and maybe the feelings will die down"

"I know. But no one ever wants to work with me. I'm geek and they know it."

"Shut up! You're the coolest girl I know. People just have to get to know you like the team does. We love you!"

"Thank you. You're the bestest best friend ever!"

"Lol watch yourself, Maggie will get jealous"

"I can't believe you just said 'lol', Maggie loves you and me! She knows I could never have a favorite! But shhh it's you"

"You say lol all the time too dork. And my lips are sealed."

"Speaking of Maggie, I'm going to go back to our dorm and shower. Zeke and I have to finish our project and he wants to meet at 6:30 which means no time for dinner for me tonight" I sighed.

"Okay! Well try to his clothes on this time. Love you" Ash laughed.

"Love you" I rolled my eyes and headed back to the dorm.

I walked into the room and it smelt amazing. On the counter was a Togo container and a note from Maggie:

"There's no getting to Natties if you don't properly care for that body of yours! Enjoy! Love you! I'll be back at about midnight. Sawyer and I are going on a date! Have fun with lover boy. ;)"

She's literally the sweetest roommate ever. She's also very maternal. She cant help it. She's a Bio major so she's very into proper health. She wants to either be a sport psychologist or a sport doctor. Basically I live with a personal mental and physical trainer.

I scurried to the bathroom and peeled my sports bra off my breasts, finished stripping and turned on the shower until it was scolding hot. It felt so good when I got in. I am a slut for a good shower! As I sat under the water I glanced at my GPS watch, I literally only take it off to charge while I sleep, and saw that it was 6:10.

"Shit"

I jumped out of the shower and threw a towel in my hair. I didn't even bother putting one on my body figuring I'd just air dry while I scarfed down the dinner from Maggie, I was alone after all.

I ate my food so fast and ran to my dresser. I just went with one of the team fitted quarter zips and a pair of running shorts. I wore athletic clothes pretty much every single day unless I had a presentation. I threw on my Chacos and basically sprinted across campus to Zekes building.

I texted him to let me in right at 6:29.
