Chapter 12 - B is for...

Logan's phone buzzed with a text and he checked it, rolling his eyes when he saw who it was from.

[Ashton]:

Hey man!

This bar is FULL of hotties

you should come hang out

Logan was starting to regret giving the guy his number. He'd been texting Logan nonstop, trying to get him to go out to bars and pick up chicks since that night at the party. The one that had somehow changed Logan's whole life.

"You wanna do something?" Oz asked.

"I don't know. What are you in the mood for?" Logan muttered absently, sending off a reply.

Can't sorry

[Ashton]:

You busy?

Yeah

Oz shrugged. "Going out, but it's already 10 pm on a Wednesday. Most places are closed, or will be by the time we get there."

[Ashton]:

A date?

"We could watch a movie?" Logan offered.

Something like that

[Ashton]:

tell her I say hi

And that you guys are coming here

And she should call up a friend

for me, in case that wasn't clear

Logan snickered.

Oz glanced over at him. "What?"

"Nothing," Logan replied.

No can do

There was a pause, and Logan wondered if maybe the guy had finally given up, before another text came through.

[Ashton]:

That cheerleader?

no

[Ashton]:

Someone I know?

Logan laughed. What Ashton thought he knew about Oz couldn't fill a thimble.

Don't think so

He glanced up to see Oz watching him.

"Ashton's horny, news at 11." Logan shrugged.

"Oh," Oz replied. "Are you gonna…" He made a little flapping gesture, like a bird flying off.

Logan gnawed on the inside of his cheek. "Naw."

"I mean… You can, you know," Oz said. "You don't always have to hang around here on my account."

[Ashton]:

I get it

no worries

bros night tomorrow then right? ;D

Mayb |

Logan sighed, staring down at the flashing cursor on the screen.

Oz was right. Logan had joined the house to expand his social circle outside of his football team. To make friends, go to parties, and just generally live the college life. If it meant building a network with some guys who helped each other out long-term, well after they all graduated and found jobs? Then even better. But ever since he and Oz had made their deal, it seemed like Logan was spending most of his free time in their little room either studying or…

"Hey, what did you end up making on that test this week?" Oz asked. "Don't forget — "

"B is for Blowjobs," Logan whispered, because holy crap .

He'd forgotten.

"It's okay if you scored lower," Oz said. "We'll look at the questions you missed and figure out how you can do better on the next one. And if you ask, Professor Newell might let you do some extra credit to make up for your score."

Logan glanced down at his phone, and licked his lips.

He deleted the half-written message.

"Actually," Logan said slowly, grinning as he turned to Oz. "I made an 81…"
