“So classes…” I grab my phone and then frown. “You’re basically in all of mine, so no problem.”
“How do you know?” She frowns. “You don’t know my last name or—“
I show her my phone. “Mom already sent it to us, or did you forget you had a phone?”
She blushes. “Didn’t really have any pockets in this dress.”
“Mmmm.” I nod. “I can see that.”
Her eyes flash up at me.
I back off instantly. “We should go to bed.” Her eyes widen. “No, no, no, no, not like no, not like that, we should separately go to sleep; school starts at 7:45.”
“Why so early?” She whines.
“Because sports are equally important as well as extracurricular, so they want us out of class by 2:40.”
She makes a face.
“Yeah.” I sigh. “Believe me, I know. Now set that fancy new phone to get you up on time to put on a new uniform one of the maids is probably already ironing, and get some rest.”
“And if I can’t sleep?” she asks.
I gulp. “There’s always the workout room.”
She elbows me.
I laugh and stumble against her as we walk down the hall and part as we go to our rooms.
I try not to stare too hard as she slowly closes her door.
I’m awake for another two hours before I can finally close my eyes.
And when I do.
I see a black dress.
And her eating a roll.
Chapter Four
Mary-Belle
I have a hard time sleeping.
I keep thinking about him and then feeling dumb because I’ve known him for less than twenty-four hours.
When I finally do go to sleep, I dream about school uniforms and this weird new foster brother situation.
And mainly.
I dream of Ambrose.
I dream of him.
When my alarm on my phone wakes me up, it takes me a minute to actually realize where I’m at and what I’m supposed to do.
Go to a brand-new prep school with a hot guy I’m not supposed to even find hot, who weirdly made me think he’s not the worst person on the planet, last minute.
I yawn, finally get out of bed, and walk to the closest bathroom I can find, my eyes still blurry from sleep.
I open the door to the bathroom and stumble into the heat, wait, why is it hot? I frown and turn around. The door was and still is from the hallway. Huh?
I’m still confused when Ambrose walks out of the shower, looking like a Greek god.
He’s completely naked.
His eyebrows raise, so do his hands, and good lord so does something else—something huge. “Uhmmmm.”
I cover my face with my hands. “I’m so sorry; I just walked to the closest bathroom.”
“Like the one connected to my room?” His voice is deep and sexy. What the hell am I getting into here?
“Yeah.” I gulp, needing to turn around and leave but afraid to uncover my eyes.
