Eden's POV:

I woke up to the sound of the alarm cutting through the silent, peaceful atmosphere. I groaned, shifting in the bed, tangling myself further in Sterling, my head now digging in his neck.

It was the first day of college, and I was extremely comfortable-it was hard forcing my eyes to open and get up for college. Ever since Sterling and I moved in together, my sleep cycle had gotten extremely better. Sleeping with Sterling (the innocent way, mind you!)… well, I always woke up more refreshed than ever.

"Can you please turn that thing off?" I grumbled.

Sterling’s POV:

I sighed and reached over to slap the alarm off. Once it was quieted down, I wrapped my arms around Eden again and kissed the top of her head.

“Remind me why we can’t use something less obnoxious to wake us up?” I mumbled into her hair, smiling softly as I took in her sweet scent.

Other than the annoying alarm clock, this was absolutely perfect. Eden and I were together in our own apartment, and my first class didn’t start until 9:30 this morning.

With a wide grin, I rolled onto my back, taking Eden with me. She was now laying on my chest, and I smiled up at her.

“Good morning, sweetheart,” I rumbled, my voice still low from sleep, before kissing her forehead.

Eden's POV:

Honestly, the best way to wake me up is if Sterling did that to me. Roll me on his chest, kiss me on my forehead… it drives my sleep away. Why? Because my heart starts hammering extremely fast and it gets rid of every little drowsiness left in my body.

I bit my lower lip, wrapping my arms around him tighter.

"G'morning, Ry…" I murmured, reaching out to trace my fingers on his face. On nights I couldn't sleep, I loved to do this. It seemed a little creepy, but I loved staring at him as he slept peacefully. It would only continue for about a few minutes because Sterling would end up pulling me closer to him, and his scent would lull me to sleep. "My class starts in about half an hour…"

Sterling’s POV:

I know she thought I was asleep when she did that. Really, though, I almost never fell asleep before her. As soon as she started tracing my face with her fingers, I knew she was still awake and pulled her closer to comfort her.

“Then I suppose you should get ready then, hm?” I yawned, starting to sit up and tugging her up with me. “What should we do for breakfast that’s quick enough to make before you have to leave?”

Eden's POV:

I clung to my boyfriend, groaning in disappointment as he sat up. I covered my mouth as I yawned, resting my head on his shoulder.

"I don't know…" I murmured. "I'm not really up for breakfast…"

Unfortunately, my eating habits remained the same. There were lots of traits I got from my father, but apparently, his gluttonous habits weren't one of them. I couldn't eat very well in the morning, and the rest of the day, I would just eat bits and pieces. Sterling didn't like that habit. Often times, he would coax me into eating, and I would comply. Sometimes I wondered if it was because I loved it when he fed me, but I wouldn't agree with it nor will I say it out loud.

Sterling’s POV:

I clicked my tongue and kissed the side of her head. “C’mon, I think we have some Poptarts still. We can each have one.”

Eden's POV:

I sighed and slowly slid off the bed, stand up and stretching my muscles.

"I'll go wash up," I mumbled, rubbing my eyes as I walked to the bathroom. "You know you can go back to sleep, right?"

Sterling’s POV:

I smiled at her and stood as well. “Yeah, but my warmth is leaving me. That just means it’ll be harder for me to fall back asleep. Plus, I have some things I wanted to get done, anyway,” I explained as I walked over to her and hugged her quickly. “I’ll just be in the kitchen if you need me, okay?”

Eden's POV:

I hummed in reply before I walked towards the bathroom.

It took me about ten minutes to get myself ready. It wasn't like I needed a lot of time, anyway-I wore a simple shirt, black jeans, shoes and I may or may not have stolen Sterling's denim jacket. It smelled like him and I liked it.

Of course, Sterling dropped me off. I kissed him goodbye in the car, got out and went to first class. I already printed out my schedule, so I didn't need to go get it.

Grayson's POV:

My day went spectacularly. I managed to get a girl's number first thing in the morning just by smiling at her, so let's say my charms still haven't died. My first class was Physics, which was boring as hell. I'd be lying if I said I stayed awake the whole one and a half hour, which I did. My next class, however, was a biomedical class I had no interest in but just took it for the hell of it. I mean, okay, it was cool, but I needed two science credits and I went for the first two that caught my attention.

Anyway, when I walked into the class, my eyes first caught a lone girl sitting in the corner of the window. She was typing on her phone, her black hair hiding her face from me. She wore an oversized denim jacket, but all I could think was damn did that girl look hot.

I put on my best charming smile and walked towards her, setting my bag on the desk and taking a seat.

"Hello there," I greeted her, making sure to make my voice deep. My ego immediately deflated when she didn't even look up, gave no signs as to whether she heard me or not. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, but then decided she was probably too caught up in her phone to notice. After all, why would anyone ignore me? "I'm Grayson, but you can call me Gray."

She still gave no response. I took a deep breath before reaching out to tap her on the shoulder but was caught off guard when a hand slapped it away before I could even blink. The girl was finally looking at me, her blue eyes icy cold, her face twisting into an emotion I couldn't recognize. When I locked eyes with her, my blood went cold. She was, I could say, scary.

But scary was hot, too.

She spared me no glance as she got up, threw her bag over her shoulder and walked off to another pair of seats in the middle of the class.

(Ooh, sassy Eden. Lol. Don’t mess with the Queen, Gray.)

Sterling’s POV:

After I dropped Eden off, I had gone back home to get a few things in order. I still needed to get a few things for one of my classes, but it wasn’t until later in the week. I could grab that stuff tonight. Or tomorrow night… Whenever I had free time next.

As soon as I was ready to go, I headed to my first class. Unfortunately, I didn’t share it with Eden. She had no need for this class, anyway. Our next class, though, we did share. I didn’t really need to take it, but it fulfilled one of the credits I needed to graduate.

When I walked into the classroom, there were only two people sitting down. One was Eden, who sat in the middle of the room and looked a little peeved, and the other was a guy. Huh. I wonder what happened before I got here…

“Hey, E. How was your first class?” I greeted my girlfriend as I sat down beside her and leaned over to kiss her cheek.

(Unless you want to die, Gray. xD)

Grayson's POV:

When another guy came in and walked over to sit next to the mysterious hot girl, I smirked. I was so sure she'd give him the same treatment but when he sat down and leaned over to kiss her on the cheek, my eyes widened.

What?

A small smile covered the girl's lips and she laid her head on his shoulder.

Shoot. I flirted with a girl in a relationship. Way to go, Gray.

I was a major flirt. Yes, that was me. I enjoyed flirting with women and getting what I wanted in return. I didn't go for the pure ones, though, and definitely not the ones in a relationship. I may be what you call a scum, but I had my own standards. I felt like an idiot immediately. I knew I had to apologize, so I would.

*Eden's POV:**

I smiled as Sterling kissed me on the cheek, leaning on his shoulder.

"It was good," I murmured in reply. The beginning of this class, I couldn't say much. Of course there would have been a flirt. There's always a flirt. "How was yours?"

Before Sterling could answer, the guy from before made his way towards us. I immediately hardened my expression, clicking my tongue in irritation. I did, however, make direct eye-contact with him.

"Hey," he greeted, a little uncomfortable as he looked away from me and towards Sterling. I raised an eyebrow. What did he want? "I'm Gray."

Ah sorry I’m behind
How should I enter Violeta?

Maybe she shares that class with them? I don’t know. 🤷‍♀️

Sterling’s POV:

I raised an eyebrow at the reaction Eden had to this guy. Something had definitely happened between them.

“Nice to meet you, Gray. I’m Sterling. This is my girlfriend, Eden,” I introduced us with a polite nod.

Should I wait until Eden, Sterling, and Gray are fininshed talking, then make Violeta come back for something she forgot, accidentally brushing Gray on the way in?

Yeah)

Gray’s POV:

I looked at the girl, Eden, an apologetic look on my face.

“Listen, about earlier…” I trailed off. I hadn’t apologized about it a lot, because I usually don’t end up flirting—or almost flirting—with girls who were in a relationship. “I apologize. I didn’t know you were in a relationship, and I shouldn’t have bothered you like that. I apologize to you, too, Sterling.”

(Well, you have been our precious stalker! :D I’m so glad you’re happy about this~

:D :D :D

(Hi, I’m back. Lol.)

Sterling’s POV:

Oh… So he must have tried to hit on her. I see…

“Well, thanks for the apology. As long as it doesn’t happen again, we’re all good. Right, babe?” I said, looking at Eden pointedly.
