"Thanks for taking me out, Fulton." I said walking up to my door and
pulling him next to me. Every Friday night the dorms became empty because
everyone went home to visit their families.
"It's no problem. I had a great time with you." He said smiling a little. "It wasn't too bad for a first date, was it?" He asked me laughing lightly.
"No it wasn't. I enjoyed myself and I would ask you to come in, but." I said looking longingly at my door.
"But Adam could be awake and you're not ready to tell. I'm not either. We've only been together a day, we have plenty of time before we need to start worrying about telling." He said and I sighed a little relief.
"But I can still kiss you when no ones looking." I whispered smiling. The corners of his mouth turned upward and his teeth came out of hiding behind his lips. His smile was hypnotizing and I always get a little mad when he doesn't smile completely.
I leaned up slightly and my lips connected with his. I felt his guard go down and I opened my mouth to let my tongue out to play. His joined mine in the middle of the hallway.
His hands held mine below our hips and I felt like we had the most romantic kiss in a movie. The one were guys and girls a like have to wipe their eyes.
I moved away quickly, hearing voices from down the hall and looked towards my door. "Good night, Charlie." Fulton whispered and his lips met mine in a quick kiss and I watched him run towards his room before going into mine.
The smile was etched on my face and my heart pounded with excitement. I was in love and nothing felt better than this feeling. I shut the door and walked to where Adam still lay sleeping.
I took the blanket off him and folded it neatly. I placed it in the box under his bed as he always does. I lifted him off his bed and pulled the covers down quickly so I wouldn't drop him. I placed him back down gently and pulled the covers up over him. I heard him mumble a "thank you, Charlie" before turning around and falling back to sleep. No problem, Adam.
I walked to my side of our room and laid out on my bed comfortably. I looked up towards the ceiling and smiled. My eyes traveled to the picture of the team I always had pasted on the wall beside my bed. I stood in the middle of the team, the C shining brightly on my jersey matching my proud smile. The picture had been taken at the end of the Goodwill games, a few moments after Coach Bombay presented me with my C.
Adam's left arm was around my neck, an ace bandage was wrapped around his right wrist. I remember him coming to me and telling me that it hurt after our final game against Iceland and I remember telling him to keep it wrapped and to put ice on it when it hurt too much.
I had cared for Banksie a lot after those games. He became my best friend during and after them. He remains my best friend till this day. He's told me countless times that he would never go back and change him getting hurt because then he and I wouldn't be as good of friends as we are.
Fulton was standing on my right if you were looking at the picture, and his right arm was hanging around my waist. I had always had a special place for Fulton in my heart. Whether it is me teaching him how to skate or how to calm down after one of us was hit, he had always been there. It was as if he owned property in my heart and over the years bought more.
Connie kneeled in front of me, Guy to her left and Jesse to her right. Next to Guy, Dwayne knelt and next to him was Ken. Julie was next to Jesse and Averman next to her. Portman stood next to Fulton and Luis was next to Adam. Bombay was next to Portman and Ms. Makay (sp?) was next to Luis. Goldberg laid out in front of all of us on his side with his right arm giving his head support. We all fell in love with our team that year and we all became close friends.
Once or twice I've wanted to go back and changed that I met one or two of the people I call friends but in the end I always wind up regretting that because of what Adam told me. "We can only go forward from here and we can't go and change the past."
"It's no problem. I had a great time with you." He said smiling a little. "It wasn't too bad for a first date, was it?" He asked me laughing lightly.
