and shoulder. As I’m fastening it, Tristan walks out of the building. I stare at him, frozen. He’s so fucking good looking. It’s just not fair.
    Just then a couple of very attractive women walk by him and turn around slowly to check him out. There are beautiful women everywhere out here. I see him smiling back at them and then he turns his head in my direction.
    I just realized I’m staring, with my mouth fucking open again. Benny is going on about how beautiful Hawaii is and how he would like to take me some time, but I can’t focus on him. Tristan stands there for a moment with what looks like a mischievous grin on his face. After a moment, he turns and starts walking in the other direction down the street to his car. Shit! Once again, he caught me staring at him.
    Benny clears his throat, pulling me out of my daze.
    “Sophia, are you all right?”
    Shaking my head quickly, I answer back.
    “Yeah, babe. Trying to pull out, is all.”
    That’s a lie.
    “Oh, okay. Well, just focus on driving. I don’t want you to get hurt. I will call you before I board.”
    I instantly feel bad for the little lie I just told to cover my fantasizing about Tristan. I’m the worst person ever.
    “Okay, Benny. I’ll talk to you later, babe. Bye.”
    “Bye bye, sweetie.” He hangs up.
    I lean back and let out a breath. Damn it, I’m so annoyed with myself right now. Two years and he still does something to me. I know I still do something to him, too . . . annoy him. Big fucking jerk, still clenching his jaw like he used to when I was around and just like before, I have done nothing to him.
    Shaking my head of the thoughts, I press play on my iPod dock. Twelve Foot Ninja’s “Shuriken” begins to blare through my speakers. Pressing my foot down on the clutch, I take off. I need to drown all these thoughts of Tristan out with music and speed . . .
    When I walk through the door to my place, I throw my purse down beside it and stride into my kitchen. My place is smaller than what I could afford right now, I guess, but I don’t feel like settling down in just one place yet. I mean, it’s a beautiful townhouse, but Frankie is always giving me a hard time about purchasing something a little more “glamorous.” But this is nice. Everything is all light and airy with tons of windows, which I love. It’s way bigger than the place I had back in Ann Arbor, which surprisingly, I still miss.
    I pull out a stool and sit at the island, then grab a granny smith apple from the bowl and pull my phone from my pocket. Since Benny is now not spending the night with me, I guess I will take Roger up on his offer to hang out.
    It rings forever. Just as I am about to hang up, he answers it.
    “Yo!”
    I crunch loudly into the phone with my mouth full.
    “So . . .” I try to chew up the last bits of apple before speaking again. “Benny is leaving early, so I thought I would swing by tonight. I’m leaving the day after tomorrow.” I take another bite.
    “Where are you going?” Roger asks.
    “Oh, Lux thought it would be cool to record at his house in Hawaii,” I say casually.
    “Get the fuck out!” Roger starts laughing. “Really? Hawaii? That’s fucking sweet. For how long?”
    Swallowing my last bite, I clear my throat. “Just a week . . . maybe two.”
    “Fucking eh, that’s awesome! What’s the song? I don’t think it will be lame because Undead usually tends to go hard.”
    Roger bringing up Undead makes me start to think of Tristan again. Shifting on the stool, I sit the rest of my apple down.
    “Ah . . . I didn’t really have a chance to go through everything yet. All I know is it’s called, ‘These Pieces Undone’.” Standing up, I push my stool back in.
    “Damn . . . well, we’ll have a going away party, then.”
    He starts cackling into the phone. Fucking Roger, always looking for an excuse to drink.
    “How about I bring over some pizzas and we just chill tonight? Maybe watch a movie . . . like you said
