The Billionaire Boys Club (Billionaire Romance Series Book 1(39)

The next day, Kelsey and her small group headed to the Legal Writing class. She had seen Keith walking around campus a few times since classes had begun. Today he was in the classroom on time, and writing on the whiteboard. Kelsey sat down and opened her computer. She wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but since Darrow Law School had been full of surprises, she was prepared for anything. Tyler sat in his usual Property seat. Kelsey was still in awe of his performance yesterday, although she would never tell him so. Ryan walked into the room, pulled on Kelsey’s ponytail, and sat next to her. He glanced at her with a smile.

“Do you mind if I join you?”



Kelsey smiled back. “Not at all,” she replied.

“All right,” Keith said to the class, which quieted down instantly. “Is everyone here?” He glanced around the room as he stood in front of the board.

“Today I’ll be assigning you your partner for Legal Writing for the rest of the year. I’d like you to introduce yourself and sit next to them. You’ll be working closely with each other on every assignment as well as for the the moot court project next year, so you’ll want to get to know them and their work style well.” Keith moved to the side of the room.

“If you look at the whiteboard, you’ll see the name of your partner. Please take the next five minutes to introduce yourselves and get settled.” And with that, Keith started taking a look at the papers in his hands. Kelsey looked at the board to find her name. She read:

Kelsey North/Tyler Olsen



And her mouth dropped open. Ryan looked at the board, then Kelsey saw a look of annoyance on his face.

Ryan said and winked at her as he got up. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”



“Sure,” Kelsey said. Ryan walked over to his partner, a tall boy with glasses and a flannel shirt. She sighed mentally, looked up, and saw that Tyler was walking over to her. He sat in the seat vacated by Ryan.

“Hi, Tyler,” Kelsey said automatically.

“Hi, Princess,” he replied. He pulled out his smartphone and began typing. Kelsey didn’t mind. She thought they knew each other well enough. Around them, their classmates were introducing themselves and settling into new seats. A few moments later, Keith clapped his hands.

“Okay, you can talk more later. Trust me, you’ll have plenty of time together.” Kelsey groaned inwardly.



“Poor you,” Jessica said as she climbed into bed. Kelsey was already lying in hers. “Thank goodness I didn’t get Matthew for my partner.”



“I spend more time with Tyler Olsen than I spend with anyone here,” Kelsey sighed.

“At least he’s not a jerk.”



“He’s an arrogant know-it-all,” Kelsey retorted.

“He’s smart. We’re all supposed to be,” Jessica replied.

“Why are you standing up for him?”



“I guess I’m just wondering why you hate him so much,” Jessica said.

“He just rubs me the wrong way,” Kelsey replied. “Anyway, at least I don’t have to deal with him until next week. I can just enjoy my date with Ryan.”



“Where is he taking you?”



“He didn’t say,” Kelsey replied.

“I’m sure you’ll have fun,” Jessica said, turning over. “Good night, Kels.”



“Night, Jess,” Kelsey said, turning out the light.



The next afternoon, Kelsey put on jeans and a pretty sweater.

“No dress?” Jessica asked, looking up from her homework.

“He’s seen the only one I own,” Kelsey laughed.

“Well, you look cute,” Jessica said. Kelsey looked in the mirror and wiped a tiny bit of lip gloss from the corner of her mouth.

“Thanks,” Kelsey said. There was a knock on the door. Kelsey opened it to Ryan. He was wearing jeans as well.

“Hi, Kels. Are you ready?”



“Ready,” Kelsey said. She put her wallet, phone, and keys in her pocket and silently waved to Jessica.

Kelsey and Ryan walked downstairs, past Tyler, who was reading in the common room. They walked out and headed for the parking lot. They got into Ryan’s car, which to Kelsey’s surprise was a sleek silver Porsche. Ryan drove off, and they headed toward downtown.

“Did you study today?” Kelsey asked as they drove through Madison Park.

“A little. I don’t think I’ll be as lucky as Tyler next Thursday.”



“No, I don’t think so either,” Kelsey replied. ”Where are we going?” she asked.

“It’s a surprise,” Ryan said.

They drove past Broadway and into downtown. Instead of heading to the malls and restaurants near Sixth Avenue, Ryan drove past them and into Belltown, a hip neighborhood north of Pike Place Market. He pulled into the parking lot of a tall condominium.

“What’s this?” Kelsey asked, as they got out of the car.

“My house,” Ryan replied. “I think you’ll like the view,” he said. He took her hand and they went up the elevator to one of the top floors. Ryan got out his keys and opened the door to one of them. Kelsey’s eyes widened as they walked in.
