Stephen lowers his lips to her neck. “I have something else you can blow.”
“Behave.” She laughs as she digs her elbow into his ribs. “Okay, Chance. You’re an Aquarius.You seem detached and aloof because you prioritize logic over emotion; you’re independent and don’t like to be told what to do; and you’re extremely intellectual.”
I lean back in my seat as I think about everything. “Okay, that sounds about right.”
Stephen rolls his eyes. “Come on. You don’t think there are other people in the world with different birth months who have those same exact qualities?”
Presley smirks. “Let’s read about Leo, shall we?”
He crosses his arms over his chest. “Go for it.”
“Leos are known for their vibrant personalities.” She widens her eyes at Stephen. “They have strong self-assurance; they’re very generous; they have magnetic personalities.” She shoots him a look again. “They’re deeply loyal, passionate, optimistic, and dramatic.”
He scoffs. “I am not dramatic.”
I toss my head back and laugh. “Says the man who announced he was having acoffee catastrophethe other day because he woke up late and didn’t have time to grab his usual coffee before class.”
Presley holds her index finger up in the air. “And I offered to bring it to you while you were in class, to which you said that it wouldn’t be the same because you always pet the barista’s service dog...”
“And then you said the dog was going to think you abandoned her,” I finish.
His eyebrows pull together. “Dogs are creatures of habit. She expects me at the same time every morning.”
“Dogs can’t tell time!”
Presley throws her head back as she laughs. “Come on. The description of your personality is pretty spot-on, baby.” She presses a kiss to his cheek. “And that’s okay, because those are all the reasons why I love you.”
He grumbles as he nuzzles her neck.
I tip my chin. “Read yours, rebel.”
Presley’s thumbs fly across her screen before she clears her throat. “Geminis are dynamic and versatile. They’re adaptable; communicative; playful; and persuasive. They are known for their curiosity, as well as their social nature.”
Stephen nods. “You are very social. Look at what you put together today.”
My chest expands with pride. Presley organized a gathering for LGBTQ students so that they could connect with one another on campus. She worked on it for weeks, and though I’m not one for socializing, it was pretty awesome to see just how many queer students are here; how many people are just like the three of us.
Presley types some more, and I lean over her shoulder to get a glimpse of what she’s reading. “The thing I love most about the zodiac is the way we are connected through our signs. Listento this:Leo and Aquarius are considered polar opposites.” She holds up her phone to show us a circle containing each of the zodiac signs, with Leo and Aquarius on exact opposite sides. “But this dynamic can actually create a powerful connection between them. Much like air breathes life into fire, air sign Aquarius breathes life into the fire of the Leo. They balance each other’s needs, and have a strong magnetic attraction.” Presley sets down her phone, and claps each of our hands. “So, you’re basically written in the stars.”
I lock eyes with Stephen. “You always say you believe in that destiny mumbo-jumbo.”
He nods as he leans across Presley and cups my face. “The three of us are meant to be. We’re meant for forever. I know it.”
“The universe knows it too,” Presley whispers.
It’s funny how the idea of aliens seems more believable than being destined for love. But I keep my thoughts to myself. With the two of them looking at me the way they are, it’s hard to argue.
I’ll believe in anything they want me to.
“I’m so tired.I can’t wait to crash.”
Stephen wraps an arm around Presley’s waist as we get to our dorm room. “You had a big day today. You deserve a foot massage.”
She hums. “That sounds like heaven right now.”
I turn the doorknob and swing open the door, letting them walk into the room first.
Presley gasps, and Stephen’s feet falter behind her. “Oh my God. What is this?”
