You Belong To Me || ✔️

-18-

She seemed to smile even wider as she looked at her schedule again.

"Me, too."

"Oh, that's what's up !" I didn't have to fake my enthusiasm because I was genuinely happy. Just being around her made me happy.

Just then , the guy from this morning walked up to us.

He eyed me, then just looked at Delilah.

"Hey, you ready to go to class?" he asked.

Perfect. This dude was in our class, too? If he didn't stop being a jealous freak, then I was going to have to step in.

She nodded, and I put my arm around her neck. Her back stiffened instantly.

"Yeah, let's go!" I said. I knew this made the guy mad, but that's exactly the reaction I was going for.

"The names Zac," I said, looking toward him.

"Ray, nice to meet you buddy," he gave me a glance that implied I wasn't welcome. I smiled evily, and tightened my grip around Delilah.

When Zac showed up, I because so happy. I don't even know why but I was glad he was there. Then Ray showed up, and made things awkward.

Zac introduced himself, but somehow I could just tell he was doing it on purpose. We finished the walk to the science building in silence. Zac opened the door for me, and I waited until he walked through. He closed the door in Ray's face, and looked at me with an oops expression.

I giggled and opened the door for Ray. As we made our way into the dormitory, Zac went into the row of seats first, and then I right after him. We were on the edge of the row, so the last two seats were filled by Ray, and a blonde-haired girl.

Zac lifted Tara from off of my lap and placed her in his, and he smiled at me. I looked over to Ray, who was staring at us , and then rolled his eyes.

That's when I finally seen the blonde girls face.

The same girl from the last class, and she still had the same stare of death on me.

My back stiffened as I looked away. Zac seemed to notice, and looked around me to the blond girl.

"Julia, just fuck off," said Zac, which resulted in a furious look from Julia and she turned forward.

He leaned down and whispered in my ear, "she wants me, but I only want you." He ended with a kiss on my neck. A kiss leaving me with wanting more. I crossed my legs, a sensation running through my whole body. He chucked as he touched my thigh, running his finger tips up it agonizingly slow.

I began breathing faster, and that's when I noticed Ray watching the whole thing.

He looked furious. "Dude, stop touching her," he demanded.

Zac laughed deep and loud, making me jump a little.

"I don't think she wants me to stop," he replied, and then winked at Ray.

Ray looked at me, hurt evident in his eyes. I looked down and brushed Zac's hand from my lap. And crossed my arms, suddenly self conscious.

As if saved by the bell, the professor walked in.

"Good afternoon class, I am Dr. Martin. If you would all reach under your seats and pull out the sheet of paper, the corresponding number will be your lab partner for the entirety of the semester. Find them, greet them, kiss them if you want to, but go and sit next to them."

I reached under my seat, and pulled out a sheet of paper.

137 and 63.

I looked over at Zac, and he had a huge smile plastered across his face.

His paper read 63 and 137.

Zac was my lab partner. I looked over to Ray, who was already standing up and looking for his partner. He found him, a dude with hair dyed blue. He looked back at me, and rolled his eyes.

I cleared my throat and sat straighter. The professor started talking about what the course would hold, and during experiments, the lab group would walk to the front of the room and do their experiments.

He then started talking about some scientific laws that we all learned back in the 8th grade, and he droned on for two hours.

Finally, he ended , and announced it was time for lunch, and he went over a list of food trucks and the menu in the cafeteria.

I glanced over to see that Zac was fast asleep, and Tara was awake, playing with her blanket. I smiled at the sight of a sleeping Zac, wanting to see it everyday.

I kicked him, and he jolted, but as he did, he pulled Tara into a protective stance.

My mouth fell open, and I almost started crying on the spot.

His first reaction was to protect my baby. I just wanted to hug him. So badly.

His eyes were on me, watching me closely. He grinned a little, then stood up. He reached down and picked up Tara's bag, and announced, "let's go to my room!"

I laughed and nodded.

I turn to leave the row of seats to see Ray watching me intently. He walked over to me and spoke.

"Do you want me to watch Tara my next class?"

"You don't have to do that Ray," I said sincerely.

"I would like to," he concluded.

I nodded and took Tara from Zac's arms and sat her on her feet. She ran back to Zac and pouted.

"Up up," she said.

Ray reached down and swooped her up, and simultaneously throwing her to the air. She giggled and then sneezed.

"See you later," he said as he reached for Tara's bag still on Zac's shoulders.

Ray left and Zac took me by the hand and we walked like this the whole way to his room.
