Kory approached Richard's dorm, but this time Roy wasn't sitting by the door. She went to knock but stopped when somebody grabbed her by the waist and spun her around. Kory was about to scream, when she looked up into the icy blue eyes of Richard and relaxed.
"Looking for me?" he asked, smirking down at her. Kory glared at him before being released from his grasp.
"Actually no, I'm looking for Roy," Kory lied. Richard quickly looked over at her and Kory began to laugh at his face.
"I'm just playing, yes I'm looking for you," she said.
"Well, you found me. What do you want?" Richard asked coldly. Kory looked over at him, shocked by the tone he used.
"Why do you always have to be such an ass hole?!" she yelled and a couple people looked over at them.
"I feel bad for the next person that has that dorm," a guy mumbled to his girlfriend as they walked by.
"Why?" she asked, looking back at Richard and Kory.
"It has a bad reputation," he said before the girl giggled and they turned down another hall.
"It's the way I am! If you don't like it then too bad! I'm not going to change for some girl that's not important to me!" Richard yelled. Kory's eyes began to water.
"First you cheat on me, then you go whoring around with a bunch of girls right in my face and you know it's killing me, after that you finally start to pay some attention to me when I start going out with Roy, and now you tell me I'm not important to you?! Are you purposely trying to break my heart any more than it already is?!" Kory yelled, tears now falling from her emerald eyes.
"We broke up, I don't have to care what you think about me anymore," Richard said coldly.
"What happened to being friends, what happened to us, what happened to you Richard?" Kory asked.
"Things don't always go how you want them to," he said, unlocking his door.
"Damn straight! You better not act this way with the baby too," she said.
"You're pregnant?!" Richard yelled, complete turning from his door.
"No!" Kory yelled and Richard calmed down.
"Then who is?" he asked.
"Rachel is," Kory whispered.
"I was going to ask you to come to dinner with us tonight to celebrate, but I don't think you should anymore," she then added.
"Why not?" Richard asked.
"She doesn't need this kind of stress," Kory said before she turned on her heal to leave. Before she could make it too far, Richard grabbed Kory by the wrist and pulled her into his dorm room.
"Get the fuck away from me Grayson!" Kory yelled, backing as far away from him as she could. Richard was leaning up against the door and looked at Kory sternly.
"I wouldn't take advantage of you. Kory I want to come tonight, I'd like to be able to see Rachel and Gar. You don't have to be near me if you don't want to, but I want to be there," Richard said, moving out of the way of the door so she could leave at any moment.
"Come by my dorm at 7," Kory said before briskly walking past him and toward the door.
"Thank you Kory," Richard said.
"Why are you thinking me? I'm not important to you," she said before leaving for her dorm.
That Night:
"Hey Richard," Gar said as he opened the door. Richard nodded before walking inside the dorm room. Rachel was in a black silk evening dress and black heels. She walked over to Richard and gave him a quick peck on the cheek and a hug.
"A baby eh?" he asked. Rachel smiled and nodded.
"Hurry up Kory!" Rachel then yelled into the bathroom.
"Can I curl my hair?!" Kory yelled back.
"No!" Rachel yelled before throwing open the door.
Kori was sitting on the toilet with a curling iron in nothing but a towel, but her makeup was done. Kory glared at Rachel who walked into the bathroom and grabbed her by the arm. Kory glared even harder at the sight of Richard watching her with amusement. That amusement was compliment with a smirk as Kory's towel fell off so she was now being dragged around by Rachel naked.
"Live it up Grayson because this is the closet you will ever get to me naked," Kory hissed as she passed by with Rachel. Gar chuckled at the comment which earned him a glare from Richard. Gar quickly looked away from his cold eyes and began whistling.
"Now get dressed," Rachel ordered. Kory mumbled something under her breath and began looking through her dresses. Suddenly, a random couple came walking into the dorm room, kissing. When they finally opened their eyes, they were shocked to find Gar whistling, Richard watching Kory with a smirk, Kory naked and looking for clothes, and Rachel looking for shoes for Kory.
"This isn't room 304… is it?" the guy asked.
"You're about 20 rooms off," Kory explained. It was after she spoke that the guy finally noticed Kory who had continued looking for clothes. He stared at her and Kory was starting to get annoyed.
"Take a picture, it will last longer," Kory said, glaring at him. The guy quickly reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. Richard immediately punched the guy in the face and kicked the couple out, locking the door behind them. From in the hall, the four could hear the girl smack him and then run off.
"Poor guy, he's not getting laid tonight," Gar said and the other stared at him.
"What?" he asked.
"Don't you care that those people just say you complete naked? You don't even know them," Richard asked.
"I barely know you anymore, but here I am," Kory said, throwing open her arms to give him a good view and Richard stared.
"You wanna take a picture too?" she then asked harshly before returning to her search.
"Awkward," Gar mumbled to himself. It took another 20 minutes until Kory was finally ready and they could go. Kory had chosen a thigh length, white, strapless dress and white kitten heals.
"Kory you have to ride with Richard, there isn't enough room in my car," Gar said as he opened the car door for Rachel.
"I'd rather walk," Kory said.
"That could gladly be arranged," Richard said from behind her. Kory spun around and came face to face with Richard. She blushed from how close they were and Richard smirked, knowing he was the one to cause it.
"Never mind, I'll ride with him," Kory said before walking over to the car.
"Great," Richard mumbled before opening the door for her.
"They act like a bunch of children," Rachel told Gar before the drove off.
"Are you trying to get us lost?" Kory asked as Richard turned off a different street than Rachel and Gar.
"Are you trying to be a bitch?" Richard asked in reply, looking over at Kory who crossed her arms and looked out the window. Kory eventually took out her cell phone to call someone.
"Who are you calling?" Richard asked.
"Rachel. I'm gonna tell her you got us lost and to start without us," Kory said before leaving a message since Rachel had her phone off.
"Richard please tell me where we're going," Kory said, watching as the houses disappeared.
"To the beach," he said and the ocean was soon in sight.
"I have nothing to swim in and I'm not going skinny dipping with you," Kory said.
"I never said anything about swimming. Just a walk along the beach," Richard said before he stopped the car. He got out followed by Kory and headed toward the beach. Once they reached the sand, Kory took off her shoes and followed Richard down the beach. It was almost 10 before their walk ended in front of a restaurant where Rachel and Gar were sitting at a table for four.
"Bout time you two got here!" Gar said. Richard hoped the small wooden fence and then took Kory by her hips and pulled her over as well. They then joined the others at the table just in time to order.
After an hour, it was nearing 9 o'clock and Kory was drunk. Rachel just got some water since she can't drink with the baby, Gar had a couple sips of a beer, but otherwise stuck to water because he didn't want to be driving drunk with Rachel and a baby. Richard had had a few sips of beer as well, but other wise stuck to water because he had to drive Kory home. Speaking of Kory, she was completely wasted. She was only 19, but as Gar said, "It's a special occasion, let her drink." So Kory had gotten a beer as well, followed by two others.
"We should probably head back to our dorm rooms," Gar said, looking at his watch. Richard looked down at his watch and called over the waiter.
"Check," he said before pulling out his wallet.
"Don't worry Richard, I got this one," Gar said, pulling out his wallet as well.
"Tonight is in honor of you two, I'll pay," Richard said before Gar put his wallet away and they soon left.
"Drive safe," Gar said as Richard hoped the fence. Richard then picked up Kory by her hips once again causing her to giggle and before leaving Rachel told him,
"Watch after her, she's had way too much to drink." Richard nodded before placing his arm around Kory's waist and slowly walking off.
