Chapter Thirteen- First Time For Everything.
Marcus sat in the livingroom as he picked his cellphone up from the coffee table.He quickly dialed a few numbers as he listened to the ring tone.
"hey Destiny,"
"what you want Marcus."
"well, I need some help..."he sighed"with a paper."
"really."Destiny said slyly.
"yeah, and I'd really appriate your help."Marcus finished in a sincere tone.
"well..."she started."alright, I'll meet you at the library...you do know where that is right?"
" I do, thanks."
"don't mention it."he smiled as he turned the phone off and put it in his pocket.
"MIGUEL!" he shouted, as he started as he headed towards the door.
"what!?" Miguel said, as he stood up in his bed.
"I'm going out, don't know when I'll be back."
"yeah,"he said,as he ploppped back down into his bed.
"with Destiny!" he laughed, as he shut the door behind him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Charity."Destiny said as she walked up to her bed.
"humm?"Charity replied half asleep.
"I'm going out, don't know when I'll be back."
"alright."she said faintly, as she went back to bed, which didn't last for long when Destiny closed the door, in the loudest way possible.Letting out a sigh, Charity got up and walked towrds the bathroom,turning up the stereo while she did so.Today was the first day of her first week of from colledge, she contimplated about going home she was a little homesick, but then Jhon popped into her mind, and spoiled everything.'Cheating bastard!' the thought to herself, as she began to brush her teeth.
'Looking at you from a distance,
getting all of my attention,
could this be love at first sight?
you walked away and I missed you,
visions of wanting to kiss you,
how could this be if I don't even know you?...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Miguel was heading to the kitchen as he, heard the door.He redirected himslef to it as he turned on his stereo, while getting to the door.
Could this be love at first sight.
and I never knew that I,
could fall in love, on the very first night.
could this be love...? '(Mary.J.Blidge~Love At First Sight.)
"yeah," he said as he opened the door, to find a another crowd of girls.
"Miguel!" they all shrieked.
"that's me." he relpied semi-annoyed, with them.
"yeah it is, anyways we were just wondering since you...we have a week of we were gonna have this wicked party all week, gonna come?"
"I'll see, I kinda have some plans for the week...but me and Marcus will definately think about it."
"alright, okay! see you there."
"right." Miguel said as he closed the door, he didn't know why and he most certainly didn't know how but everyday he was around one of those girls he realized they acctually were blockheads...each and every one.He sighed as he went back to what he was doing.
Charity was watching t.v, when she heard a knock at the door.She put down the remote, as she walked over to the door.
"mourning sunshine."
"what are you doing here so early?" Charity asked, as Miguel let himself in.
"what? don't you like being in my presence."
"no comment." she laughed, as she joined Miguel at the couch.
"so, what are you upto today?"
"I don't know...probablly work."
"are you serious!"
"as a heart attack, why?"
"see, that's you're problem Charity...it's all work, work, work with you no play."Miguel said as he walked around the girls dorm room.
"that is not true!" Charity answered deffensively.
"really? here you have the best oppertunity, to have fun...but all you want to do is work."he said as he sat down beside her."so it is true" he mimicked.
"I can have fun!"
"prove it."
She sighed as she looked at him, knowing he was tricking her into doing something."what do you want to do?"Charity trailed as she walked into her room.
"I'm willing to dedicate this whole week, teaching you...how to have some fun." Miguel answered, as he leaned against the wall of her room.
"what an honour." Charity responded sarcasticlly"like I didn't know how to have fun already!" Charity hissed, as she walked into the bathroom.
"we'll see about that." he laughed, as he sat down on Charity's bed.
Awhile later...
Miguel and Charity started down Boston U's hallways and towards it's doors.
" so...you're not going to the party with those girls?" Charity asked trying to make sense of what Miguel just explained.
"what for? it's always the same thing mea nd Marcus go to their parties.They flirt with us non-stop, and then after awhile it's done..."
"every twenty year old guy's dream." she laughed, as she opened the doors.
"yeah, but it turns into a nightmare when a girl can't carry a conversation without saying 'God you're hot! let's go to my room."
" and you of all men have a problem with that!"
"I'm tiered of being treated like a piece of meat."
"this from the guy, who rates girls."
"that's different."
"how?"Charity asked as she stopped walking."hey, who knows maybe you could of, fallen for a girl at one of those parties."
"No!" he said, as they started to walk again"never."
"you see that's you're problem, you scared of acctually falling for a girl."
"what's there to be scared of ?"
"you tell me."Charity finished, as they both stopped infront of Miguel's cycle."I thought...I thought we were walking..." Charity studderd as she looked at the motorcycle.
"no, it's too far..." he said as he noticed Charity's expression."what? don't tell me you've never ridden in one of these before?"
She let out a sigh, as she aprroached the cycle."fine, I won't tell you."
Miguel smiled, as she walked around her" scared?"
"I'm not scared" she laughed uncomfortably" I just listen to the news, do you know how many motorcycle accidents happen?"
"for ammatures, yeah."he started, noticing Charity didn't buy into it one bit."look, you don't have to worry about anything I've been ridding since forever."Charity still looked at him skepticlly , eyeing the motor cycle"you're in good hands."he smiled sweetly."great hands."
"I don't know."Charity started.
"c'mon Charity live a little bit, what's the worst that could happen?"
"well---"
"professional."he reasurred.
"okay..."Charity said as she jumped on, and Miguel started the motorcycle.
" hold on." he finished as Charity held on for dear life, they started down the street."oh God!"Miguel excalimed, as Charity gasped a'no!'.He laughed as he continued" just kidding."
"not funny!" Charity replied enfuriated, as she hit him.
"sorry" he continued to laugh, as they drove" I thought it'd calm you down a tad."he said, as he gasped for air, as Charity held on tighter.
"how? by scaring me half to death."
"yes."he aswered crisply.They continued to drive, as Charity happened to hold on tighter and tighter as Miguel sped on.Secretly he was enjoying every bit of it, maybe she was too.
"now was that so terrible?" Miguel asked, as he stoped the motorcycle, at the batting cages.
"yeah, more than terrible."Charity said, as she slided off the motorcycle, and followed Miguel."so this is you're idea of teaching me how to have fun...sports? typical."she laughed.
"yes, it is." he said as he went to the front desk.
"Miguel! long time no see" the desk clerk greeted.
"I had a few, things to handle" he joked as he looked back at Charity.
"humm, cute"the clerk, replied aslo looking at Charity as he handed over the bats."this should be fun." he laughed.
" it will be." Miguel smiled, as he returned to Charity."recon you don't know how to play."
"just give me the bat!"she snapped, as she took the bat and walked ahead of him.
"what'd I say!" he shouted, as he laughed and followed, to meet her infront of a batting cage."so, are you going in or...are do you wan't to watch how it's really done.With that Charity opened the bating cage and walked right in, giving Miguel an ' I know exactlly what I'm doing look' as the first ball came out full speed at her, she paniced and dodge out of the way letting out the girliest of girliest screams.
"impressive!" Miguel said."maybe next time you could hit the ball."
"I wasn't ready."Charity defended.
"looked more like you were afraid of the ball."
"I was not."
"okay, want to try again."
"no."she responded quickly.
"alright, I'll help you out." he said, as he enetered the cage."see, the key is not to be afraid of the ball. the ball is our friend."Charity laughed."okay, step aside." he said.
"but the ball---"
"don't worry about that."
"whatever you say." she laughed, as the ball came at him and he hit it."wow."
"your turn." he said, as he turned to her.
"how about you try one more time!" she encouraged.
"I'll show you how just give it a try." he said as he stepped behind her, both of them holding on to the bat.Charity couldn't help but smile at the situation"alright,so it's all about the swing you make when the ball comes your way."
"I think I got it."
"good." he replied as he backed off, and got out of the cage.The ball came at her again, she made a swing and got it, she squeled while she dropped the bat.
"I did it." she flaunted, as she got out of the cage, and watched Miguel make everyball that came is way,quickly the day came to an end and Miguel braught Charity back to her dorm room.
"so, we I had my first ride on a cycle and I learned how to hit a fast ball." she smiled.
"yup, that's only the first day see what were gonna do for the rest of the week."
"ah no!" Charity started"tomorow's my turn."she smiled deviously as she opened the door and entered" see you tomorow!"
"okay." Miguel smiled, as he started down the hallway.
Marcus sat in the livingroom as he picked his cellphone up from the coffee table.He quickly dialed a few numbers as he listened to the ring tone.
"hey Destiny,"
"what you want Marcus."
"well, I need some help..."he sighed"with a paper."
