I answered the door quickly and smiled as I saw Corey's beaming face of surprise. He looks amazingly hot in his blue button down shirt layering over his perfectly baggy jeans. Which I wish I were in! What? A girl can't dream?
Anyways, I ushered him inside as he took a look at my small apartment. He then wrinkled his nose and I laughed.
"What's that smell?" he questioned innocently.
"Room-mates. You know how it goes!" just then Parker streaked across the room smiling with Ethan hot on her trail, both naked of course. I guess I blushed at that point because Corey just laughed at me.
"Yeah, my room-mate Lance is the same way with his girl friend Barbra, or is Miranda? I really don't know, it changes from week to week!" He looks amazingly hot right now!
"Same with my Miranda. Parker and Ethan, who you just saw quite a bit of, have been together since grade 12. He practically lives here. I wish they'd both just live together so I could at least breathe fresh air. But whatever, their conquests live little to the imagination in these rooms!" I can't believe I'm telling this almost complete stranger the story to my life. Why the hell am I doing this? So he looks good, is that reason enough?
We both laughed by this point and began to plush furiously when Miranda came out of the room with what appeared to be Corey's room-mate Lance. I could tell Corey knew him by the look of surprise on his face.
"Hey man, what's up?" Corey asked Lance as he made his way over for a quick hello.
"Not much buddy, just hanging with Randa here, you know how it is. Anyways, how about you?" Lance smiled realizing I was now staring at him.
"Just heading out on a study date with Liz here, we'll see you guys later then. Bye!"
I followed his lead and we walked down the hall to the elevator of our very large apartment. He called it a date! Maybe study was in front of 'date' but that has no matter! He called it a date. And dates end with kisses if all goes well. So I am going to make this end well!
We walked along the sidewalk past a few street corners, chatting briefly about ourselves and where we use to live. We finally entered a tall apartment building and headed up the elevator.
"We have to go to the Penthouse Suite. My buddy has a lot of cash to throw around so he spends it wasting away for parties and such. I think he's having a bit of a bash at 9 or whatever. So we'll get an hour in at least. So it's cool."
"That's awesome; I need all the help I can get! Oh My Gosh! I forget my books! I was so excited to be going out with you that I just left the house without them, I" then I realized I had just said most of that out loud. He chuckled lightly and blushed.
"Lizzie, it's cool, we'll share my notes. No big deal, plus I've wanted to spend time with you and now this will give us the chance!" He smirked slightly and then we both began to laugh and how stupid we were being, how childish we were acting.
As we headed into the apartment I saw a few girls and guys I recognized from class. We sat in this huge room that was filled with couches and talked about everything we had learned that week in class. To stop from boring I'll summarize; it's what I do best.
Corey and I sat together, we flirted while studying and listening to everyone's input, I actually learned a lot and now won't flunk out of that course thanks to Corey, he held my hand the WHOLE time we were sitting down and I even rested my head on his shoulder!
Okay, so you're probably thinking 'wow big deal', but come on, I haven't had a date since last June and that was with Gordo. Now it's November, I mean hello, I'm finally getting in contact with the boys again! Not to mention the boy of my dreams, who is much like Gordo. But yet again, not Gordo. So like Gordo but not. Now that we've cleared that up again, I can move on. Right now Corey and I are holding hands. This is seriously the most awesome thing. More people are arriving for the after bash and Corey and I just sit on the couch snuggling! I know! How cute is this!
Finally we've been cuddling for like two hours so we decide to hit the coffee shop before we head home. I feel like I've known him forever, like he's always been there. That is crazy of course. As we walk into the coffee shop I notice that it's completely empty so we snuggle into a booth in the corner.
"Why do I feel like I know you so well?" Corey asked me.
"I don't know. I like feel the same way. It's really weird. You know, I never thought I'd feel this way so quickly. My boyfriend of four years broke it off the summer of graduation because we were on opposite sides of the country. So I haven't really dated in awhile. It's just; I have such strong feelings for you already!"
"I have a confession to make Lizzie. I've had this huge crush on you since I saw you in my physics class. I've been sitting behind you ever since!" he began to blush an extreme crimson red.
"That is so weird. Wow what planet did we live on before this because I took that class because you were in it. I saw you on orientation week and decided I wanted to stalk you! Just kidding, I just had a crush on you and thought 'why not take this class', but it's really hard!"
"Oh Lizzie, I think I'm going to love spending time with you. What do you think? Should we?" He asked blushing yet again.
"Yeah, we should hang out for sure. It's just too weird that we are so much in tune with each other! What a story to tell how we got 'together'!" I began to laugh uncontrollably and Corey followed suit.
"She took physics because I took it and then I sat behind her, we stalked each other, then I through my pencil at her and here we are!" he said in a mocking announcer voice.
We sat in our booth chatting and sipping coffee until early in the morning. We finally walked home hand in hand, might I add, giggling like two young teens in love. Which we probably weren't far from considering the connection we had. As he walked me to my apartment door he looked deeply into my eyes.
"I had an amazing time Corey. Really quite amazing!" I said looking into my fidgeting hands.
"Me too Liz, me too." He pulled my chin up and kissed me softly. I fell into his arms and wrapped my arms around his neck prolonging the kiss as we both showed we wanted to. I finally pulled away and smiled happily.
"That was fun, want to do it again?" I asked Corey immaturely. But before he even answered, he wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me towards him and smiled sweetly. Then he kissed me passionately. This time we had a little more fun including the styles of the French, right there in the middle of the hall. After about another ten minutes I decided to pull away. Should I invite him in or will that make him think I want sex. And I just met him, I really don't want sex now. Or do I? I really don't know actually. I must have expressed a look of confusion because he just laughed at my facial expressions.
"Night Liz, I'll see you tomorrow." He gave me another kiss on the lips and walked away slowly down the hall, turning around once seeing me wave goodbye.
I smiled to myself and walked into my apartment which at this point was heavy with the scent of sex. It smelt as if there was a giant orgy going on. I of course knew better then to knock on either Parker or Miranda's doors. I slipped in quietly which apparently I didn't need to after I heart loud giggling and screams of joy coming from Miranda's room. Then I heard a few crashes coming from Parker's room. This was odd because they were usually a lot more careful in parker's room with all of her valuables.
I knocked on the door to make sure everything was alright.
"Hey you guys, is everything okay in there?" I stuttered slowly trying not to invade in their 'business'.
Parker answered with, "Liz, I think we need your help in here!" She sounded quite desperate and I cringed at the thought of what they could have needed.
I took a deep breath walking into the room and couldn't believe my eyes. I was witnessing a very different side of Ethan I hadn't seen since-well ever. There were Parker and Ethan tangled together in what they later mentioned was a very weird Karma Sutra pose. I felt my face become hot and knew I must have been a bright crimson red.
"How exactly did you guys...never mind...I don't think I want to know!"
I tried untangling them without touching anything in particular and finally got them untangled which left the three of us in an embarrassing mess. Then I just burst out laughing which Ethan and Parker did too. I left the room shaking my head in shame and laughed as I walked the few feet into my room.
I fell exhausted onto my bed and just wondered about our date night. It really was awesome. I mean, Corey is an awesome guy, and I didn't think of Gordo much, except for when I mentioned him. But Corey makes me feel safe. Corey is amazing. I just don't want to stop using his name because it makes me feel wonderful. This is ridiculous, the noise here is awful. Maybe I should head to Alice's. I changed into a pair of pajama pants and an oversized sweater, grabbed my pillow and a blanket and headed to Alice's knocking on the door lightly.
"Alice, they're being loud again, can I bunk with you?" I called at her door.
From behind the door she called, "I'm kind of busy here Lizzie, sorry. I have a 'friend' over!" I knew from the way she said 'friend' she meant a guy friend. I have no clue what to do because I don't know anyone else in this building besides Corey and- wait, what if I asked to sleep over at Corey's. Strictly sleep though. Well maybe cuddling, but no more.
I headed to Corey's floor remembering his room number -356. I knocked on the door which was answered by Lance who was shirtless and had this sly smile across his face.
"What can I do for you, it's Liz right? I didn't know we were having a sleepover tonight Corey!" he said playfully.
"What are you talking about dude?" Corey came to the door and a surprised look stretched across his face followed by his 100 watt smile and a blush.
"Sorry to do this to you guys but my apartment is noisy from both sides, if you know what I'm saying here, and I really need some where to crash. My usual place is even having her fun tonight, so do you guys mind?" I said taking no breaths in between.
"Uh, yeah, but our couch is really uncomfortable and we have no other beds." He said inquiringly.
"Oh, okay guys thanks for answering the door. Um, I'll see you tomorrow then?" I answered and began to walk away.
"Hey, Liz," Corey called and I turned around slowly.
"Yeah?"
"You can bunk with me, my bed's a double and besides you wouldn't want to have to put up with that noise!"
"No of course not! Yeah, I'm just really tired you know?" I said sweetly.
"Of course, of course. Well, come on in then, don't be shy." He led me through his apartment giving me a quick tour and then showed me to his bedroom.
"Well, then I guess this is good night!" I said as I lay on the bed at the very edge of one side while he got in the other end. After a few minutes of being uncomfortable on my side, I mean I had a hip problem once; I turned bonking heads with Corey. "Sorry!" I said barely being able to keep in my laughter.
We both began to laugh and finally settled down with Corey's arm around my waist and my head against his chest. It was nice ad sweet and quite innocent actually. It was probably the best sleep I had gotten since I was actually at university.
As the sun rose at poked through his make shift curtains I stretched my arms and pulled myself out of bed trying not to wake Corey. I left the room, pillow in tow, to find a smirking Lance at the kitchen counter.
"So Liz, what'd you guys do last night?" he smirked playfully sipping at his orange juice.
"Absolutely nothing. We just slept and cuddled. It was really sweet and innocent!" I said sweetly.
"Oh, well you're no fun Liz. I take it you've never actually 'slept' with a guy then, huh?" he teased.
"For your big fat information, no I have not! But that is no matter of yours! Besides, what we did, or rather what we didn't do last night, was far better then anything in this world! I got to go Lance; my room-mates will worry about their sweet and innocent Lizzie."
I left the apartment with quick thanks and headed back to my place to the surprise of quiet and sweet smelling candles.
