Chapter tres
I quickly scribbled a note to Teddy.
Yo Teddy~
Went to grab some coffee with your roomie.
Be back soon! Try to occupy yourself
without me!
*Your little Mimikins*
I left a kiss mark with my dark maroon colored lipstick, and quickly threw on my, silver tank top, that really showed off my cleavage, and skin-tight jeans that Angel and picked out for me. One small problem left, shoes. Where the hell did I put my shoes?! Under the bed? EW NO! Remind me to NEVER look under Ted's bed again. I think Audrey III might be growing there. All right, not under the bed, under Collins's bed? Um, no. Note to self again: Never look underneath a man's bed. "Alright, screw this 'search for the shoes' mission." I think to myself as I spot a pair of sandals in the corner of the room. I slip my feet into them quickly and race down the stairs to meet up with Collins. I adjust my shirt to show myself off, just a little better.
"TA-DAH!" I exclaim as I open the door to the frat house, and strike a pose.
No reply. I look around. Where was Collins? He said he was going to meet me here. I hope he didn't leave without me. I step down off of the stairs and peer around the corners of the building. He left me!
"Collins?" I say softly. I can't even hear me how is he supposed to? I sit on the stairs and feel tears start to form in my eyes. I'm crying?!?! Over a guy?!?! A guy I just met! I must be PMS-ing. I decide to get up and go get some coffee for Ted and myself. Collins will just have to find his own coffee. I stand up, brush my butt off, and head towards the nearest coffee shop. I'm walking through the courtyard outside of the fraternity house when all of a sudden I hear a wild yell. I turn to see a tall, dark, and handsome man, running wildly toward me.
"MIMI!" the man calls. I suddenly realize that it is Collins! Too late. I have been tackled to the ground.
"Collins!" I say jokingly angry. He laughs, his deep, sexy laugh.
"Sorry Mimi! I couldn't resist it."
"That's not very nice Mr. Thomas Collins"
"Uh-Oh. The full name. I'm in trouble now." He replied, tickling my sides. I squealed, I'm incredibly ticklish. "I think I found someone's weakness!!" He teased.
"Alright!" I gasped in-between cries of laughter, "Alright! Now let me up!"
"Oh no. Miss. Marquez. You have to promise to let me pay for your coffee."
"That works for me. I'll just get the most expensive cappuccino I can find." I joked back.
"Oh, I like your style!"
"Your not the only one." I said as I took off running towards the coffee shop. Calling behind me "Last one there's a rotten smelly egg!"
"Oh that's not cool!" He yelled as he tried to catch up to me.
When we got to the coffee shop, there was a line half way out the door. I hate lines. They are so long, boring, and claustrophobic. This time I loved the line it gave me time to spend with Collins. Collins starred down at my feet.
"Hey! Those are my shoes!"
"Oh! Uh, sorry. Couldn't find mine"
"Your feet are too tiny for them!"
"Your feet are too big!"
"Well, you know what they say about big feet, big---" He was interrupted by the tall, scraggly, looking man at the counter.
"Hello, I'm Jason. What can I get you two today?" Collins and I rolled our eyes at hoe frightfully cheerful he was.
We ordered, and waited for them to call our names. I noticed Jason, kept staring at my chest. I thought to myself, wishing I could say it to him, that he would read my brain vibes, 'I didn't dress like this for you so stop looking.' All right, FINE! I'll play along Mr. Jason the coffee guy! I pretended to drop my hair clip and I slowly bent over, Jason proceeded to drop the change he was giving all over the floor. ' Mission completed!' I thought to myself triumphantly. Unfortunately, this did not stop Jason. Collins, noticing this, leaned over and whispered in my ear a way of getting him to stop. I grinned at the devilish plan being explained to me.
We left the coffee shop with out coffee, trying to control our laughter until we got out of the shop. First foot out the door, we erupted in an uncontrollable laughter.
"Did you SEE the look on his face?!" I asked Collins.
"I thought he was gonna wet his pants! He looked so jealous!"
"Of you or me?" I asked with the seductive look.
He stopped dead in his tracks and stopped laughing.
"Something wrong Collins?"
He tried to reply, but his words wouldn't come out. He wheezed for breath.
"SHIT! Collins are you okay?"
"Yeah, Yeah. I'm fine, just the way your eyes looked right now. It's nothing never mind."
"Alright, are you sure?"
"Yes, ma'am."
Could it be true? Did my seductive look actually work?! Awesome! Ah, the awkward silence. We walked back together, in complete silence. Something had happened. Something neither of us would verbalize, but I know we both knew. Something had happened. Something beyond an attraction, or a connection. Just something. Through the feelings of awkwardness, there was a feeling of comfort. A comfort I had never felt with anybody else before. Not since I sat in my mothers lap as a little girl. I walked speechless, not knowing what to say. When I felt a warm object slip into my hand. I looked down and saw Collins hand in my own. I smiled as he softly pressed his lips to my cheek. I turned and kissed him on the cheek as well. We smiled at each other and continued walking the rest of the way. All awkwardness, melted away.
