Hi, all! I hope you enjoy. All disclaimers apply.

As he lied there in his California king, entangled in a mess of golden locks, he thought to himself, 'How did I get myself into this mess?' Only faint snoring could be heard, which distracted him from his thoughts. He looked down at the very naked figure whose arm was draped loosely around his torso and whose head was now resting peacefully against his own very naked chest. He tried to wrap his brain around the event that lead him to this very moment and the only thing that came to mind was the first day that he laid his eyes on her.

It was the first day on the job and he was lucky enough to be paired up with her for his first shift. God forbid they both have been eying each other the past couple weeks of training, but this sexual tension has been driving him up the wall.

"-Yeah, and my roommate left her dirty dishes, many of which still had half-eaten food on them, for days on end. I just hope these kids never get a chance to face that sort of nightmare with their roommate. I'm surprised that we didn't have a roach infestation!"

Throughout the whole tirade he had only been half-listening to what she had been saying and boy, did she have a mouth on that pretty face of hers. It was either she was so invested in the conversation that she didn't realize he wasn't listening, or he was really good at pretending to listen. Either way, they were rounding the corner on the last floor of the residence hall, nearing his dorm room and-

Suddenly, he was pushed against the little indentation of the corner, which perfectly concealed the two from any residents walking in the hallway. But, before he could understand what was going on, he felt her soft, perky breasts against his chest and arms, which had somehow gotten wrapped around his neck, pull his face in for a hard kiss. All he knew was that there was a very attractive blonde pressed close against him and they were now making out.

He soon felt his lungs thundering in his chest and he knew they had to separate before they both passed out. He gently pushed her off of him and shot her an incredulous look before stammering in a stifled whisper, "Serena, what the hell was that?!"

Serena merely looked up at him with her knowing eyes. "I just wanted to get your attention. You weren't listening to me the whole time I was talking," she said a-matter-of-factly.

"So you thought it would be a good idea to push me in this corner and molest me?" he sputtered.

"Darien, honey, we both know it isn't molesting if we both enjoyed it. Now, come on," Serena retorted as she dragged his arm out from the corner they were both hiding in.

"Where the fuck are we going? We're not done discussing this," Darien stuttered.

Serena quickly put a finger to Darien's lips, quieting his ranting. "Shut up before one of the residents see us. We're going to your room," she answered as she swiftly surveyed the hallway before motioning for him to follow her to his door.

Still as confused as ever, he unlocked his door with Serena following suit and closed the door. There was a moment of silence before Serena spoke in a teasing manner, "Nice room. Aren't you a little too old to be obsessed with superheroes?"

Darien silently wished he'd picked up after himself before he went on duty as he watched Serena touch a poster of Marvel Comic's X-Men. "Excuse me, I'm a little offended. These aren't just superheroes, they are the X-Men with a genetic mutation that causes them to have awesome powers. And one can never be too old to appreciate a comic or two," he retorted.

Serena's gaze met Darien's and she smirked. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to insult the all-powerful class of mutants under Professor X."

"That's funny. For someone that is so willing to make fun of me for liking X-Men, you sure do know a lot about them," he joked.

"Please, I'm not living under a rock. I've seen the three X-Men movies, 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine,' and the prequel that just came out, 'First Class,'" Serena laughed.

"Touché," Darien chuckled before clearing his throat, "So are we going to discuss the elephant in the room?" He took a seat on his bed and patted a spot next to him to signal her to have a seat.

Serena nodded in agreement, "This is going to be a little tricky because we work together and we're not technically allowed to be involved, but I'm down for a summer fling if you are."

Darien's mind was quite muddled. "Summer fling," he murmured slowly.

Serena suddenly swung her leg over his midsection before she straddled him. She pressed her hands against his hard chest as she leaned in close to his ear and breathed, "Yeah, stupid. Correct me if I'm wrong: we are both attractive people that happen to be into each other."

He only blissfully hummed in agreement, as he felt her firm butt grind painfully against his groin. Serena then rubbed her hands up against his chest and down to his arms, which were trying to still her movements. She artfully removed his hands from her buttocks and pushed them over his head as she pinned him to the bed. "So then, what are we waiting for? It's 2011. We're young college students. We're supposed to have fun and make stupid decisions," she whispered huskily as she gradually leaned in down to his face so that their lips were centimeters apart.

"Shut up, you talk too much," Darien breathed before closing the gap and bringing her down with him.

This was his first of many mistakes.
