Bree was still riding high from her date with Landon as she walked down the hall to her locker. She saw Penny waiting for her. She smiled and opened it, seeing Landon’s jacket. She had put it in her locker on the off chance she saw him again.

“So, it’s true.”

Bree turned to see cheerleader Chloe looking at her. “What?”

“Landon Reynolds chose you as his ugly date.”

“What?”

“Oh, please! You don’t seriously think he would actually date you? The football players have a running bet every year. They make a list of the ugliest girls in school and get a date with them. They have a grading scale and I’m guessing you were a five. He didn’t kiss, you did he?”

Bree’s heart broke. “That’s none of your business.”

“Let me guess.” Chloe circled her. “Kiss on the cheek? They’re not allowed to kiss on the lips. It’s part of the rules.”

“Go away, Chloe,” Penny snapped.

Landon had walked up during the rules conversation and anger overtook him. He strode over to Bree, smiling. “Hey, it’s cold out. You should really be wearing that jacket instead of hanging it in your locker.” Landon leaned over and took the jacket out. He slipped it on Bree and smiled at her. “So, I figure maybe Friday? We can go out again? Think about it, okay?” Landon leaned over and brushed his lips softly across hers. “ ’Bye.”

Chloe watched him leave with her mouth hanging open. Penny smiled and shoved her into the locker. “You were saying?” Penny grabbed Bree, who was still in a daze from the kiss, and left.

Landon found her at lunch at a picnic table and sat down next to her. “I want to apologize. I had no right to kiss you without permission.”

“You would have had it, anyway.”

“And just so you know, what Chloe said is true, but I have never been a part of that bet. I think it’s cruel.” He noticed she still wasn’t wearing his jacket; it was on the bench next to her. “You don’t like it?” Landon nodded to the jacket.

“Well, it’s not that. It’s just that usually when a girl is wearing a football player’s jacket, it’s because they are dating.”

“Did I go out with someone else? I plan on taking you out again, so you might as well wear it. How about the movies, your choice?”

“I’m going to pick a chick flick.”

“Whatever you want.” Out of the corner of his eye, Landon noticed Chloe and William watching them. He eyed Bree. “I’m going to kiss you again.”

“Is that request?”

“No, it’s a statement.” Landon cupped her face and leaned in. He kissed her and a small whimper escaped her. He pulled away slowly. “See you later.”

Evan woke up in a daze. He was in his own bed, but something was weird. First, he never slept in boxers, and second it smelled… good. He got up and looked at himself in the mirror. His hair was poking out everywhere and he had a bandage on his head. He heard noise in the front room and shuffled out.

“Good morning, sunshine! How do you like your eggs?” Cameron was standing over their small stove.

Evan looked around the room in a daze. It was clean — like squeaky clean. “Where is my roommate and what have you done with him?”

“Not a morning person, huh? Okay, eggs scrambled. You seem like a bacon guy.”

Cameron was shirtless and Evan sat down on the couch, trying to keep his tongue in his mouth. He had never noticed how hot the guy really was. Bits and pieces were coming back to him and he remembered them fighting in the living room.

“What happened?”

“We got into a bitch fight.” Cameron brought the plate of food over with a cup of coffee and a glass of juice. He handed Evan a fork and a napkin. “Now, eat. You need your strength.”

“Did I go to the hospital?” Evan blinked.

“Yep. My dad took care of you. I already talked to your dads and let them know you were okay, and your buddy Jensen stopped by to make sure I hadn’t killed you.”

“You… fixed my head.”

“Oh, no. I think you have brain damage.”

Evan smacked him. “Stop it.”

“No hitting the cook.”

Evan noticed that Cameron’s gray eyes were searching his and there was concern in them. “What?”

“You need a shower. Finish your food.”

As soon as he was finished eating, Evan went to take a shower. Cameron told him to leave the bandages on his head but not to scrub his hair too hard, just a quick wash and that was it. He stood under the stream letting the warm water rush over him. Suddenly, a massive headache nearly brought him to his knees. Evan moaned and hung onto the shower wall. It was as if someone had hit him with a two-by-four. The next thing he knew, Cameron was in the shower with him, fully dressed, holding him up. He was almost plastered to him, and Evan tried to back away.

“Don’t move.” Cameron was looking at his head.

“Let go of me.” Evan tried to pull away.

“Stop fighting me, Evan!” Cameron yelled.

Evan froze, then did something he never thought he would: He kissed Cameron. The headache disappeared, and Cameron picked him up. Their tongues fenced and he moaned softly.

Cameron had one hand on the wall, and the other was holding Evan in his arms. Evan’s arms were around his neck and the kiss was increasingly passionate. He let go of the wall and fully held Evan in his arms.

“Evan,” Cameron moaned.

God, that turned him on even more. Evan wrapped his legs around Cameron’s waist and kissed him harder. They broke from the kiss and Cameron looked into his eyes.

“We shouldn’t do this. You don’t know what you’re doing.”

“I’m kissing my roommate and I’m liking it.”

“Okay, so you maybe you do, but still…” Cameron put him down and took off his shirt. He backed out of the shower, turned his back to Evan, and handed him a towel.

“You just saw me naked.” Evan arched a brow. “And you’re going to be a doctor.”

“Just… dry off, okay?” Cameron stared at the wall.

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that.”

Cameron made sure he was dressed before he turned around. “What do you mean?”

“I just threw myself at you. At least you were kind enough not to throw me again.”

Cameron noticed Evan blushing furiously. He searched his eyes before kissing him. His hand caressed his face as he parted Evan’s lips and took his mouth.

Evan’s heart put the pedal to the metal. The way Cameron was kissing him left him gasping to catch his breath. He knew he was gay, but this was his first kiss, and he wanted more. His hands went around his neck again and Cameron picked him up. Now, that in itself was sexy! They moved to his room and Cameron put him on the bed and hovered over him. He broke from the kiss and ran his tongue over Evan’s bottom lip, slowly leaving light kisses on them.

“I didn’t think you were gay.”

“Yes you did. I knew you were yesterday.”

“What?”

“Yeah, you told me on the couch. You are so cute.”

“Great, I’m cute.” Evan rolled his eyes.

“I have a confession to make.”

“Uh oh.”

“I wasn’t your roommate in the beginning. I actually hacked the school computer and when I saw your picture… well, I kinda changed rooms.”

“Really?”

“The minute I saw your picture.” Cameron leaned in for a quick kiss. “I wanted you.”

“I’ve never kissed anyone.”

“Are you shitting me?”

“No.” Evan blushed. “You were my first kiss.”

“Well, damn.” Cameron ran his hand through his hair. “You are fucking good at it.”

“Really?” Evan beamed.

Cameron pushed him back on the bed and propped on his elbows above him. “Oh, yeah.”

They kissed slowly for a few minutes and then Cameron broke the kiss. “You need rest.”

“Can… will you stay with me?”

“I’m going to get your school work and then I will, okay? Get some sleep.”

Cameron ran into Jensen on his way out. “He’s resting, but you can stay with him.”

Jensen frowned at him. “Your lips are bruised.”

“So are yours.” Cameron winked.

Jensen laughed and put his hand over his mouth. “ ’Bye.”

When he got to Evan’s room, he found him on the bed with a huge smile plastered on his face. He crawled up next to him and sighed loudly.

“So… kissing the roommate, eh?”

“Who were you kissing?”

“Max Remo.”

“No shit?”

“Nope, got me in the library last night.”

“Damn, he’s fucking hotter than hell.”

“So is your roommate,” Jensen pointed out.

“First kiss?”

“Well, with a dude. Yeah, you too?”

“Yep.” Evan let out a loud sigh. “I’m gay.”

“So am I.”

“So, details?”

“You first,” Jensen said.

“Get comfortable, this could take a while.”
