Chapter One: College

I woke up at my normal time of six o’clock in the morning. Mayra and Tom were still asleep as were Emery and Eliza. They had actually slept all through the night. I was still tired though, I hadn’t gone to bed until about three in the morning doing homework. I didn’t get to talk to Logan on skype either, which was odd because, he usually never missed our skype dates. He had probably gotten caught up in school work and I knew how that was so I wasn’t to upset. I hopped out of bed and took a quick shower. I threw on some pants and a random shirt. I threw my hair into a ponytail and ran downstairs to get the bottles started. At first I had been so terrible at making bottles fast but, now it was easy. I made fourteen bottles before I ran back upstairs one in each hand. I walked into the room just as they started to cry. I propped the bottles up on their blankets and started to put my books and papers into my backpack. I slipped on my shoes and threw my backpack onto my bed. Emery finished first like he always did and I picked him up and started to pat his back. It was seven o’clock now and Mayra and Tom were now up. Emery burped after a few minutes and I laid him back down in his crib. I took the bottle out of his crib setting it on my desk and picking up Eliza. I did the same to Eliza laying her back down and setting her bottle next to Emery’s on my desk. I turned on the baby monitor that was setting on my desk too. I changed their diapers really fast before kissing their foreheads. “I love you babies. Mommy will be home before you know it.” I laid them back down and grabbed my backpack before heading downstairs. “Good morning Mayra. Morning Tom.” I said grabbing my keys. “I fed the kids, burped them, changed their diapers, and the monitors on so they should be okay for a little while.” I smiled heading for the door. They told me bye and to study hard. I walked out hopping in my car. I always studied hard. I wanted my babies to have a great life. I slipped the keys in the ignition starting the car and heading to school. I was at school by seven twenty like always and got my regular parking spot close to the building. I hopped out of my car grabbing my bag and heading inside. I smiled to the receptionists and workers. There were few students around but, soon it would be filling up. I made my way to the snacks table and put two granola bars in my bag and grabbed a donut. Donuts were my guilty pleasure and I only had them once a week. “Having a donut I see.” a familiar voice said to me. I chuckled turning around to see Skylar. I’d met Skylar the first day here. He was a really sweet guy and a real cutie. He was my best friend now since Amy moved to the west coast to go to school. He’d been keeping me company and helping me get though piles of school work. “Well good morning to you too Skylar” I chuckled holding out the donut. He smiled taking a bite off of the donut. We went over to the near by couch sitting down and sharing the donut. He licked his lips getting all of the icing off. “So how is my best friend?” he asked me smiling down at me and brushing a loose hair out of my face. “I’m great actually. Emery and Eliza actually let me sleep through the night. Still got up early like I always do though. I had fourteen bottles to make.” I chuckled smiling at him. “You do look well rested and I told you they would but, no you didn’t believe me.” he smiled getting up and headed to our class. I was glad to have all of my classes with Skylar. “Did you do the homework last night?” I asked him. I knew it was a stupid question but, hey I knew there at least had to be one time that he wouldn’t do his homework. “Of course I did silly. I always do my work.” he smiled at me as we reached our class. He opened the door for me and I took our usual seats at the top. “Well I finished mine around midnight.” I looked at him as he sat down next to me. “Well at least you make good grades.” he said taking out his notebook and getting ready for notes. “True” I said bring out my own notebook and getting ready to write. Something I had learned from my high school teachers, write FAST!

I woke up to my friend bouncing on my bed. “Mann come on get up!” he yelled loudly. “Dude get off my bed.” I groaned rolling over. “Haha dude you still gotta hang over don’t you.” he laughed getting off my bed and throwing some shoes on. “Yeah dude I do.” I said getting up my head instantly spinning. “Damn.” I muttered throwing a shirt on and some pants. “I’m not even going to bother taking a shower.” I fumbled over to the dresser combing my wild hair, taming it the tiniest bit. I slipped some shoes on turning to my roommate. “Here man take a w***e’s bath.” he chuckled throwing me a bottle of axe. I caught it spraying myself all over before tossing it back to him. “Want to go to the Alpha Sigma Phi sorority party tonight?” he winked at me. “Going to be a lot of hot girls there and Roxanna.” he smiled heading for the door. “Hell yeah dude count me in.” I smiled shaking off the sleep and going to my computer. I saw a message on my computer. “S**t.” I muttered. “What dude?” my roommate asked. “I forgot me and Ophelia’s skype date.” I sighed instantly feeling terrible for forgetting. “Ahh don’t worry about it man. Just tell her you had to study.” he smiled walking over and slugging me in the shoulder. “You deserve to have fun. You made it to Yale.” he chuckled pulling me away from the computer and out the door. We walked down to where everyone gathered before classes and grabbed some food. We talked about the party last night and watched as everyone started filing in. Roxanna walked in looking drop dead gorgeous as always. She always put on makeup and dressed up in nice clothes. She never dressed casual like the other girls. She walked over to the snacks grabbing a cookie and heading my direction. “Oh dude she’s coming this way. She likes you man.” he smiled as Roxanna reached our table. “Hey there cutie.” Roxanna said running her fingers through my hair. “Saw you at the party last night. You going to the one tonight too?” she asked. Her eyes were so beautiful. They sparkled all the time and she always looked so stunning. I put my hand on her waist. “Hell yeah I am. Going to party hard again.” I chuckled and she smiled. “That sounds great. I know I’ll be there.” she smiled sitting on my lap. “We should spend time together at the party. Get to know each other better.” she winked at me hopping off my lap. “Well look at the time.” she smiled and turned on her heels. “We better get going or we’ll be late.” she chuckled and held out her arm to me. I turned and winked at my roommate. “I’ll catch you later man.” I punched his shoulder getting up and grabbing Roxanna’s arm. “Hey dude!” I heard my roommate yell. “We still got thirty minutes!” I turned to look at him as me and Roxanna reached the door. “Yeah dude. I know.” I winked and me and Roxanna were out the door and headed to her room. We reached her room in minutes considering we ran the entire way. I picked her up slamming her against the door as soon as we were safely inside her room. She smiled kissing my neck. I carried her to her bed laying her down. “You sure?” I asked looking down at her. “Hell yeah boy now shut up and kiss me.” I smiled kissing her deeply and loving every minute of it.

The morning was filled with notes, notes, and more notes. We tested on Friday’s and took notes and studied Monday through Thursday. It worked out good. Gave me time to really study and the help from Skylar also helped. He was great at studying and always helped me. I’ve passed every test I’ve taken so far. We were headed to eat our lunch before our final afternoon classes and I tripped slightly on the uneven floor. One of my books his the floor and Skylar immediately bent over and grabbed it. “Are you okay?” he asked handing the book back. “Yes I’m fine just the stupid uneven floor.” I chuckled grabbing the book. “Yeah I know they need to get it fixed before someone falls and breaks something. They’re probably sue them too.” he smiled putting his hand on my shoulder. “Yeah tell me about it. I don’t like broken bones.” We reached the student union in a few short minutes. I grabbed a muffin and sat down on a nearby couch. Skylar grabbed a Special K bar and a muffin. “Fatty.” I chuckled poking his belly which was far from fat. “You know it.” he said opening the bar and taking a bite. He was so far from fat it wasn’t even fare. I had lost all of my baby weight and was back to my normal size. I had worked out a lot after I’d had the twins to make sure I got back to my weight. It took me around two months. “When’s Logan coming back for a visit?” Skylar asked looking over at me. “Christmas break. It’ll be the twins first Christmas.” I smiled and Skylar smiled back. “Well that’s great. He’ll be here in no time. Christmas break is coming up after all. I’m also planning to get the twins something and you.” I saw him blush slightly. He always blushed around me. I knew he liked me and he knew I was married so we just maintained our healthy friendship. He was my best friend and I told him everything and he would stay up late at night talking to me on the phone when the twins were acting up. He was such a great friend, always there when I needed him.

Roxanna and I had to run to make it to our first class. I couldn’t believe that I’d actually done what I had done. I had cheated on Ophelia. The love of my life..and the worst part being...I didn’t feel bad about it. Morning classes flew by and now we were in the student union. Through the morning classes I didn’t feel bad for one second. In fact I actually wanted to do it again. If I could have slapped myself I probably would have. I knew I missed Ophelia and I really wanted to be with her more than anything but, I did anyway. I cheated on her. “Man! How was it!” my roommate, Austin, asked hitting me in the shoulder. I chuckled. “Man it was amazing!” I smiled at him. “But dude what about your girl?” he asked me, referring to Ophelia. “I don’t know man, what she doesn’t know won’t kill her.” I shrugged trying not to think of it to much. “Yeah man. Don’t worry about it. She don’t even have to know. Not like she knows who Roxanna is anyway. But hey man we still hitting up that party tonight right? Get it on again with Roxxy.” he laughed giving me a  high five. I smiled glancing over at Roxanna. She was sitting with her friends smiling and laughing. She caught my eye for a second and winked at me. I winked back at her before looking back at Austin. “Hell yeah dude.” I smiled as everyone started to make their way to afternoon classes. I got up nodding to Austin. “Later man.” I smiled heading to my afternoon classes.

Before I knew it the day was over and for once I only had minimal homework. “Skylar look minimal homework!” I smiled hugging him tightly. “Isn’t it grand!” I felt him chuckle. “Sure is means that I can come over and we can play with the twins.” he put an arm around my shoulders. “We’ll finish the homework, double check it, then play with the twins the rest of the night. Sound good?” he asked me as we headed out to our cars. “Sounds great!” I smiled as he walked me to my car. “You can go ahead and head over to the house since you know where the spare key is and I’ll go get the twins from daycare.” I unlocked my car, Skylar opening the door before I could get to it. I chuckled hopping in and turning the car on. He closed the door as I rolled down the window. “Sounds good to me.” he smiled at me. “I’ll see you in a bit best friend.” he smiled again heading to his car. I smiled backing out and heading to the daycare. Since Tom and Mayra worked they dropped the twins at a friends that had a daycare. Tom and Mayra didn’t get home until around ten o’clock. They knew Skylar came over almost everyday and they didn’t mind considering he would cook sometimes and leave them some in the fridge. They actually liked him a lot. I got to the daycare in about ten minutes. I turned the car off heading inside. “Hey I’m here to pick up Emery and Eliza.” she smiled at me going to the back and bringing the twins out. They were sleeping in their carriers. I smiled looking at them. “Thank you.” I said quietly the woman and picked up the twins. I pushed the door open with my butt and headed outside. I sat them down opening the car door. I set them in their spots and strapped them in their seats. I smiled hopping in the drivers seat and heading home. I got home in no time grabbing the twins and carrying them inside. I could already smell the food as I walked inside. The twins even woke up so I knew it had to be good. “Look who I got!” I yelled. I sat them down in the living room, their bright eyes shining from inside their carriers. Skylar walked inside the living room. “Well it’s my favorite little girl.” he smiled walking over to Eliza. He unstrapped her carefully and picked her up. “How’s my favorite little gal.” he said with a smile. Eliza smiled her non-toothed grin. He chuckled. “Want to watch me cook Lizzy? I’m a great cook no matter what your mommy says.” he chuckled walking into the kitchen with her in his arms. I shook my head and looked at Emery. “What are we going to do with them Emery?” I asked him. He answered me with a gleeful laugh. I smiled unstrapping him and picking him up. “How was your day little man?” I asked him sitting down on the couch. “Good? Well that’s great.” I said laying him down on my chest. I loved how Skylar payed so much attention to the twins. Since they didn’t have their father he sort of stepped up. He’s the greatest friend I could ever ask for.

The afternoon flew by and we were all headed back to our dorms. I reached my dorm in no time. Austin wasn’t there. I chuckled. “Probably getting ready for the party.” I sat my bags on the floor beside my bed. I luckily had no homework. It surprised me that I didn’t have a ton of it. It was like they knew that I was going to party tonight. I walked into the bathroom and hopped in the shower. If I was going to party I had to smell good. I finished my shower in no time changing into, what I called, my party clothes. I ran a comb through my hair before shaking my head wildly. I would let it air dry from here. I slipped on some shoes. I looked in the mirror with a smile. My attire consisted of a wife beater, a button up shirt that was completely unbuttoned, faded blue jeans with holes, and some slip on shoes. “Yeah” I said to myself with a smile. “Let’s party.” As I turned to walk to the door the door flew open. “Man come on!” It was Austin and he was ready to party hard. “Yeah man I’m coming.” I said walking towards the door. Before I got to the door I heard a ring form my computer. It was skype telling me that someone was trying to call me. It was Ophelia. “Man come on worry about it later. Let’s go!” Austin urged me to follow him. I sighed looking back to Austin. “Yeah man I’m coming.” I walked out the door without a second thought.

I sat at the computer screen staring and waiting for an answer. I sighed logging out knowing I wasn’t going to get the answer I wanted. ‘He was probably studying’ I told myself. In the back of my mind I knew that was a lie. I didn’t know where he was or what he was doing but, whatever it was must have been more important than seeing me and seeing his kids. I got up from the computer and walked back downstairs where Skylar was watching the kids. “Nothing?” he asked me with a sad look on his face. “No.” I shrugged and smiled at him. “It’s okay though the twins have you so they’ll be fine until he gets home for Christmas. If he comes home for Christmas.” Skylar smiled standing up and walking to me and hugging me. “And even when he comes home for Christmas I’ll still be here.” he stepped back smiled. “The foods ready.” he walked back into the kitchen and started to fix plates. I sat the twins back in their carriers and carried them into the kitchen by the table. I sat down by them and Skylar sat a plate in front of me. He sat down a minute later with his plate. “Well dig in.” he said with a smile. I smiled back at him. To Skylar I was number one and I was starting to feel like to Logan I was last.
