The Billionaire Boys Club (Billionaire Romance Series Book 1(32)

“No wonder you’re in such great shape,” Ryan said. Tyler rolled his eyes, but said nothing.

“Thanks,” Kelsey said, glaring at Tyler. “Did you come to work out?”



“I did,” Ryan said. He put his gym bag on the floor and adjusted the laces on his gym shoes which, unlike Tyler’s, looked brand new.

“Great,” Kelsey said brightly, looking into his bright blue eyes.



Ryan ran on the treadmill next to Kelsey until she stopped her machine to do her usual weight routine. Tyler finished his workout and left, while Ryan and Kelsey discussed the merits of various exercises. They finally left the gym at 8 a.m., 45 minutes later than usual for Kelsey.

“I’ll see you in class,” Ryan said as they walked into the dormitory.

“Bye, Ryan,” Kelsey said, walking upstairs.



“You’re late for breakfast,” Jessica said when Kelsey walked in.

“I know. I’ll hurry,” Kelsey replied, putting her book bag on the floor.

“Did you do a new workout?” Jessica asked, putting on lip gloss.

Kelsey shook her head no. “Ryan came to the gym today.”



“Oh. Ryan,” Jessica teased. “No complaints about that billionaire.”



“Stop it, Jess,” Kelsey grinned.

“Go for it, girl,” Jessica smiled.

“Maybe,” Kelsey said, heading for the shower.



Kelsey was still glowing from Ryan’s attention while she was in Civil Procedure, and therefore was less bothered than usual about the fact that Professor Dudley still made no sense to her at all. Ryan waved at her in Torts, Zachary said hi. Tyler, per usual, ignored her presence.

Kelsey’s glow continued to last through Friday. However, as she was studying with Jessica and Dylan in the library on Saturday afternoon, Kelsey realized that it was the end of week two, and she still wasn’t confident about what was going on in her classes.

“Do you even understand what he said on Wednesday?” Jessica asked Dylan.

“I never seem to understand anything Dudley says.” Dylan sighed.

“It’s got to get better right? Right?” Jessica said.

“It will,” Kelsey said hesitantly.

“Forget it,” Dylan said, standing up. “Let’s go off campus for dinner. I read about a place on Capitol Hill.”



“What do they have?” Jessica asked, putting her books into her bag.

“Burgers and brews,” Dylan said.

“Perfect. Come on, Kels,” Jessica said. Kelsey put her tablet into her bag and the three of them left the library.

“Want to invite Ash?” Jessica asked.

“My roommate was laying out clothes earlier. I think Ashley has a date,” Dylan said.

“I think she mentioned it to us, Jess,” Kelsey said.

“I blocked it out. I still can’t believe she’s going out with him,” Jessica replied.

They dropped their bags off at the dorm, walked to Dylan’s car, and drove to the restaurant. Dylan parked and handed the keys to Kelsey.

“I’m drinking tonight. You drive us home,” he commented.

“OK,” Kelsey replied, putting the keys into her pocket. They walked into the huge restaurant and were seated.

“So hungry,” Jessica said. “I think it’s the stress. Let’s order a lot.”



“It sucks,” Dylan said, looking over the menu.

When the waitress returned, they ordered three appetizers, meals for each of them, beer for Dylan, and sodas for the girls.

“I’m going to gain that 1L eighty doing this.” Jessica commented. “Maybe I should work out with you, Kels. I’ve got to get up early to work out with the billionaire boys though.”



“Who?” Dylan asked.

“Ryan Perkins and Tyler Olsen work out with Kelsey at 6 a.m.”



“Interesting. You’re still working out, Kels?”



“It helps with the stress,” she replied.

“Maybe I should try it,” Dylan said.

“It’s good for you,” Kelsey said.

“You worked out in college, Kelsey?” Jessica asked.

“I did.”



“That’s why you’re so skinny.”



“I’m not skinny.”



“Skinnier than me,” Jessica pouted.

“Not for long,” Kelsey said as their nachos were delivered to the table. She took a chip covered in cheese and salsa and popped it into her mouth. “Oh, yeah, that’s good.”



The fries, drinks and wings were delivered in short order, and the trio descended on them.

“It’s like we haven’t eaten in days,” Kelsey commented, lips covered with grease.

“It’s the stress,” Jessica said, licking sauce off her fingers. Dylan ordered a second beer.

“So what’s our game plan for Civ Pro?” Dylan asked.

“Besides not failing?” Jessica asked, taking a fry.

“We aren’t going to fail,” Kelsey said.


“Speak for yourself,” Jessica replied. “Dudley is completely incomprehensible to me.”
