Mira lounged in her dorm room, toggling between procrastination and her history paper on her lap top, when Loren stormed through the door. Mira winced watching as the door slammed against the wall, denting the plaster.
"Jesus Loren!"
"I can't believe that asshole had the nerve to just break up with me out of the fucking blue," Loren exclaimed throwing her school bag on her bed.
"Chase broke up with you?" Mira asked carefully, watching Loren fume.
"Yeah. He said some bullshit about how I was screwing around with Wes and it was the last straw or some shit."
"Well, you were screwing around with Wes, among other people."
Loren shot her a withering glare. "Don't defend his point of view, I'm the woman wronged."
"You cheated on him. That's cause for a divorce or death in some places let alone a break up. It's not like you're sorry about it."
Loren mulled the thought over. "Whatever. I only came back to him for the great sex."
Mira shook her head, wondering if Chase would say the same.
Instead of succumbing to the pressure to join her roommate and the other girls for a "Boys suck" girls' night out, Mira made an excuse about having work, and headed over to Chase's apartment. He opened the door just as she was about to knock.
"Hi."
He smiled, taking her hand and tugged her through the doorway.
"Where is everyone?" she asked, looking around the space.
"They left after pre-gaming here, to cheer me up."
"Yeah, I heard you broke it off with Loren. She's livid and probably making out with everyone who buys her a drink."
"I am still kicking myself for waiting so long to end it. We were terrible together. I guess I got comfortable and didn't want to look for something better."
Mira let her bag slide of her shoulders to the floor as she reached to wrap her arms around his neck. "I'm glad you are looking for something better. But seriously, if you just want to hang out, that's fine with me. I am here for you."
Chase shook his head. "I want you. In my bed, in my arms, in the kitchen, in the shower, you get the picture. I want you completely nude. Or just in heels. I want to finally be with you, no qualms, no crazy girlfriend in the way."
