"Kory?" Richard asked as she came running towards him.
"Hey Richard! Look who I found!" Kory said, pulling Xavier into view.
"Who is he?" Richard asked.
"I heard Grayson had some charm. Guess that was a rumor too," Xavier said and Kory giggled.
"Richard, this is Xavier, he's your new room mate," she said, smiling at him.
"Xavier eh? Kory how'd you find him?" Richard asked, eyeing Xavier suspiciously. What really made his blood boil was that Xavier has his arm wrapped securely around Kory's waist.
"Never mind that. I just wanted you two to meet each other. Now come on Xavier, I want you to meet Rachel and Gar," Kory said before grabbing him by the arm,
"Grayson," Xavier said before following Kory down the hall. Kory opened her door and stepped inside with Xavier following. Rachel and Gar were nowhere insight, but instead there was a note on her pillow. Xavier sat down on with Kory on her bed while she read the note.
'Rae had a craving for tea, Gar,' it said and Kory sighed.
"Where are you friends," Xavier asked.
"Rachel had a craving for tea, who knows when they'll get back," she said.
"Well that's fine. Just gives us more time to get to know each other. How bout I take you out for lunch, my treat?" Xavier offered and Kory's face lit up.
"I'll go get dressed," she said before grabbing some clothes out of a draw and running into the bathroom. A few minutes later Kory came out in light pink tang top and light blue jeans. Her hair was down and she was wearing white and pink converse.
"You're gonna want a jacket," Xavier said.
"All mine are dirty," she said, looking through the closet.
"No problem, you can wear mine," Xavier said, taking off his leather jacket and handing it to her. Kory took it with a smile before following Xavier out into the hall and towards the parking lot. On the way there, they ran into Richard.
"Where are you going with him Kory?" he asked.
"We're going out for lunch, don't worry I won't have anything to drink and I'll be sure to buckle up," Kory said.
"Actually, we'll be going by motorcycle," Xavier said and Kory's eyes lit up while Richard got madder.
"Have fun," he said through gritted teeth before continuing on his way.
"I plan to," Xavier said under his breath before wrapping his arm around Kory's waist and continuing their walk. When they reached the parking lot, Xavier guided Kory over to his black and red Ninja. (my daddy had one of those!) He tossed Kory a helmet and she put it on. After Xavier put on his helmet as well, he started the motorcycle and they drove off. Little did they know that once they were nearing out of sight, Richard started his car and drove after them.
Soon Xavier pulled up by a small burger place by the beach. He parked the motorcycle and helped Kory off. He grabbed her by the hips and lifted off the bike, she giggled as he did.
"That was so much fun Xavier. Thank you," Kory said, hugging him. Xavier smirked before leading her into the food place. Richard parked his car down the street from them and then walked in as well. Kory and Xavier had a table near a window and Richard got a table where there was a good 10 other tables in between them and he was facing Xavier.
"Wow, this food is really great," Kory said after taking a bite of her burger. They began to talk about something and Richard glared at them.
"Stupid Xavier," he growled. A waiter came by to ask what Richard wanted, but quickly backed away after seeing the look on his face. It wasn't until Xavier made direct eye contact with him that Richard began to think that maybe he'd been caught.
Richard quickly abandoned that thought though when Xavier looked away from him and gave his full attention to Kory. Richard took a sip of his water and eventually ordered some fries to quiet his growling stomach. Soon, Richard started to become really bored because Kory and Xavier had finished their meals, but continued talking.
"Check," Richard told the waiter minutes before Xavier asked for the check. Richard left a 20 to pay for the bill and then walked over into the bathroom so Xavier and Kory wouldn't see him as they left.
"I'm gonna use the restroom cutie, wait by the bike," Xavier said before Kory nodded and left. Xavier then walked into the bathroom, but Richard was nowhere to be see… at the moment.
"You can come out Grayson, it's just you and me in here," Xavier said before Richard came out of one of the stales, glaring at him.
"Why didn't you tell Kory I was here?" Richard asked, not taking his eyes off the guy before him.
"I think I'll be asking the questions," Xavier said.
"Why are you following us?" he then asked.
"Can a guy not come out for a burger?" Richard asked, lying his ass off.
"Richard, drop the act. Why are you following us?" Xavier asked again.
"I don't trust you with Kory. I barely know you and after what she's been through I don't want to leave her alone with some guy she just met a couple of hours ago," Richard said and Xavier nodded.
"Understandable, but you can calm down. I'm not gonna pull some move like Roy and try to rape her and I'm not gonna get her drunk and make a move like you did," Xavier said.
"So, people have heard about us on the beach too?" Richard asked.
"No, Kory told me. She trusts me Richard, maybe you should too. I don't want her to have to chose between us because you don't trust me. So, why don't you go back to your dorm, find some girl to entertain you, and leave us alone," Xavier suggested before walking past Richard and towards the door.
"Xavier, are you going to tell her?" Richard asked.
"No, but if I find you following us again, I might hint to her and trust me, she'll be able to find you," Xavier threatened before leaving him.
"Should I follow them?" Richard asked himself, pacing around the bathroom.
"Well, I have nothing else to do, so I guess it's a yes," Richard said before leaving the burger place and getting into his car. Luckily for him, Xavier and Kory were still in sight so he wouldn't lose their trail.
Richard followed them to a movie theater where he sat in the very back so he could see every move they made. Throughout the beginning of the movie, they did nothing. Richard wasn't even paying attention to the movie, his only interest was Kory and Xavier. It was almost half way into the movie when Xavier looked back and glared at Richard. Xavier continued to have his head turn to the movie and look at Richard. After like 10 minutes of a stare down Kory finally noticed Xavier looking backwards.
"What are you looking at Xavier?" she asked, looking back as well. Richard was hoping she didn't see him before he ducked down into his seat, but seems luck was not on his side.
"Richard Grayson!" Kory yelled, standing up in her seat with Xavier by her side. Richard slowly stood up and everybody in the theater turned to look at them, most of them looking pissed for ruining their movie.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" Kory yelled, walking towards him.
"Could you please do this somewhere else?" a man sitting by the isle ask. Kory turned and glared at the man before continuing what she was doing.
"Hey Kory, Xavier," Richard said nervously, going out into the isle to meet them.
"Are you following us?" Kory asked, glaring at him. Xavier was next to her with his arms crossed casually and he was smirking. By now most of the people had given up watching the rest of the movie and decided the drama going on in the back was better then the movie so they watched them instead.
"I'm not going to lie to you, yes. I don't trust you with Xavier," Richard said, glaring at Xavier. Kory looked between the two men, but then looked back at Richard.
"You don't trust me?" she asked.
"Kory you've been through a lot in the past month or so and I thought that maybe you might not be thinking clearly and decide to got out with him," Richard said, hating this moment in time.
"Richard you are so unbelievably selfish! Rachel told me you loved me, but I didn't think you'd seriously take it that far as to follow me when I go out with any other guy then you?!" Kory yelled and everybody in the movie theater gasped.
"Kory I'm just watching over what's mine," Richard said, but wished he never had.
"I am not yours! And frankly, I don't think I ever will be. How could you Richard?" Kory asked, tears forming in her eyes.
"Asshole!" somebody from the audience yelled at Richard.
"I'd like to see you try and survive one day in my shoes!" Richard yelled in reply.
"Come on Xavier, lets get out of here," Kory said taking her hands.
"Kory wait," Richard said, taking hold of her free hand. Kory jerked around and stared at him, tears running freely down her cheeks. The lights began to turn on and everybody stared at the sight. Kory continued to stare at Richard with Xavier still holding her other hand.
"I'm sorry," Richard said.
"So am I," Kory said before taking her hand from his and leaving with Xavier.
"Mommy, I don't want to grow up!" a girl cried from the lower seats. Richard soon left and returned to his dorm, wishing that today had never happened.
--
So, Xavier sharing a room with Richard, Rachel and Gar are leaving next year, and Kory is stuck between two guys. Guess what, it all gets better! Please review!
