Who's Zack?

I frowned when he pulled up in front of a house after a while. "You don't live on campus?" I asked looking at the house. "Nope. I stay with four other boys." He answered shutting off the engine. "Come on." He said opening his door. We followed in pursuit. He helped us with our bags as escorted us into his house.

Definitely a boy's bachelor pad. "The boys are probably on their way over to class or they are still sleeping." He said putting down our bags. "One of the bathrooms are down the hall. The other is unfortunately in my bedroom." He said turning to us. "So one of you girls are going to have to pull a short straw." He suggested.

Janelle and Ruby looked at me. "Guess that would be me." I said picking up my bag. He nodded and then showed me to his room. It was no surprise when I found his bed unmade but other than that his room was spotless. "Bathroom is through there." He said and then shut the door behind him.

I entered his bathroom and took a shower. I got dressed and made my way back down the stairs. I placed my bag down and found Travis in the kitchen. "Hey." He greeted. "That was a quick shower." He said handing me a cup of steaming hot coffee. "You saved me." I thanked and then brought the cup up to my lips taking a sip.

I hummed in pure bliss as the coffee slipped down my throat. "Good?" He asked quirking an eyebrow. "You have no idea." I replied making him chuckle. "I'm just going to clean up, tell the girls that their coffees in there." He said motioning to the microwave. "Thanks, I will." He left the kitchen and made his way back to his bedroom.

Janelle joined me shortly in the kitchen. She got herself a cup of coffee and joined me at the counter when we heard a scream. We looked at each other before getting up from the count to investigate. "Jeez, sorry! I didn't know you were in there." We caught a guy yelping as Ruby chased him out of the bathroom. He looked up when he caught us looking at him.

"What the hell? Am I dreaming all of this?" He asked running his hand through his hair. Janelle and I couldn't hold in our laughter any longer as we realized what just happened. "Sorry, Travis probably forgot to mention that he was helping us out." I said.

"Yeah, that would have been a great warning." He replied. "I'm Jaylin. This is Janelle. And that's Ruby in there." I introduced. "Zack." He replied just as the door opened. "Have you ever heard about knocking?" She asked him. "I live here." He informed her. "Still, it won't hurt. You almost saw me naked." She scolded.

"I think I saw pretty much enough." Not the right words. Ruby tackled him with slaps and punches. "Ruby, no!" Janelle exclaimed as we tried to pull her away from the guy. "Hey, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the way you look." Zack continued ruffling her feathers. "Dude, do you want to die?" I asked creating distance between him and Ruby.

He then looked at her and smiled. "Where have you been all my life?" He asked Ruby while Janelle held her away from him. Ruby actually looked surprised at him. "Hey, what's going on?" Travis asked walking up to us. We all looked at him. "Your buddy here walked in while I was getting dressed." Ruby said to him.

Travis looked at Zack with a quirked eyebrow. "Hey, don't look at me like that. You forgot to mention that you brought three girls over to our place." Zack replied. "Yeah, that is my bad." He admitted. Ruby slapped him on the arm when she walked past him. He just smiled at her. "Still aggressive as ever." He teased her.

"Butt out, Travis." She replied. "You know Ruby?" I asked him. "Yeah, we go way back." He answered smiling.
