The Billionaire Boys Club (Billionaire Romance Series Book 1(25)

“See? Seats.”



“It ain’t the Ritz,” Jessica said as they sat down.

“Yeah, the food’s better,” Dylan said. Everyone tucked into their food.

“Delicious. A taste of home,” Ashley exclaimed. Ian watched her as she tossed her blond curls back and ate. Dylan kicked him under the table.

“It is good,” Jessica said, wiping sour cream off her chin.

“So, where to next?” Dylan asked, as he took a tortilla chip. “Fish throwing? The original Starbucks?”



“Oh, that sounds good,” Jessica said.

“Did I read that there was an art museum nearby?” Ashley asked. She had almost finished her burrito.

“Right down the street. In the next block,” Kelsey said.

“Mama’s on the board of ours,” Ashley said. “I thought I’d check this one out.”



“Seriously?” Jessica asked in surprise.

“I can see the market later,” Ashley said, taking her last bite.

“I’ll go with you,” Ian said brightly. Dylan looked at him oddly.

“Since when are you interested in art?” he asked Ian.

“Since always,” Ian snapped back.

“Whatever,” Dylan said, taking another bite of food.

“So, just text me when you’re at Target,” Ashley said, standing and smoothing her skirt. “Oh, you’re not done yet, Ian?”



Ian glanced at her, and grabbed a last bite.

“I am,” he said as best as he could with a mouth of food. He stood up and wiped his hands on his pants. Then Ian and Ashley left.

“Idiot,” Dylan said, looking after them. He took another chip.

Kelsey and Jessica giggled.

“I’m ready,” Jessica said, crumpling her burrito wrapper.

“I am too,” Kelsey said. They all stood up and cleared the table.

“So, Kels, donuts?” Dylan said.

“Let’s show her the Italian deli first,” Kelsey said.

“Wait, have the two of you been here together before?” Jessica asked.

“A couple of times,” Dylan said. “We came up for a few concerts during college.”



“Oh,” Jessica said, glancing at Kelsey and pulling her fleece around her.



For the next few hours, the three of them walked around the market. They took photos, instagrammed food, then ate it, and walked around enjoying the place and each other’s company. Every so often, Kelsey would notice Jessica moving a little closer to Dylan, touching his sleeve or laughing loudly at one of his jokes. Dylan didn’t seem to pay any attention.

Dylan sent a few texts to Ian, but they went ignored. Finally, feeling that they had sufficiently enjoyed the market for the day, Dylan texted Ashley and they walked over.

“This is weird,” Jessica said, as they entered the multi-story CityTarget.

“Don’t they have Target in New York?” Dylan said.

“Yes, but not like this. At least I haven’t been to one like this.”



“I’m going to women’s clothes,” Kelsey said.

“Where are you going, Dylan?” Jessica asked sweetly.

“Snacks, then electronics,” he replied.

“I’ll go with you, then,” Jessica said to him. Kelsey smiled and walked over to the elevator. She rode up to the women’s department and located her underwear. Then she glanced at the workout clothes, and spotting a cute outfit, added it to the bundle in her arms. Nothing like looking cute when you’re drenched in sweat. Kelsey looked around for a few more minutes, then walked over to the electronics department. When she arrived, Ashley and Ian were there along with Dylan and Jessica.

“Ready, Kels?” Dylan asked.

“Yep,” she replied.

“Kelsey, let’s stop downstairs and get some snacks for the dorm,” Jessica said. “I bet we can get more granola bars.”



“You took my advice,” Dylan said to Jessica.

“I did,” Jessica said, giving Dylan her prettiest smile.



“So how was the museum?” Dylan asked Ian that night at dinner.

“Interesting.”



“Really?” Dylan said, with sarcasm.

“It’s true. There’s some amazing Native American art on the third floor, and Ashley took me for tea at the cafe.”


“Did you enjoy your date?” Dylan teased.

“It wasn’t a date. Anyway, she’s only interested in your roommate. I thought you said he was a jerk.”



“He is.”



“Well, I think Ashley was disappointed that he didn’t come with us.”



“Is that why she came? Thinking he was going to join us?”



“Maybe,” Ian said, thoughtfully.

“Incredible,” Dylan said.

“She’s gone,” Jessica said, reaching for an Oreo.

“She knows what she wants,” Kelsey said.



Jessica and Kelsey spent their Sunday quietly preparing for the first day of class. They joined Dylan and Ian for brunch at the dining hall, prepared backpacks and laptops for the next day, and had dinner as the sun waned over Lake Washington.
