~Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it! Enjoy~
-Hey, its Lauren Lewis
-Hey Lauren Lewis, didn't think I'd hear from you so soon
-Are you disappointed?
-oh yeah, I was planning on spending the next few days anxiously awaiting for my phone to ring with an unknown number appearing on the screen in hopes it would be you. The suspense nearly killing me as I unlocked my phone checking to see if it was the blonde from Charlie's or just another 'you've used half you're data plan this month' text.. But you ruined that for me
-aww, I'm sorry it sounds like it would have been a blast
-totally, but I like this better
-good.. when is your final?
-I'm walking to it right now!
-Well good luck!
-thanks I'm gunna need it
-did you spend enough time studying?
-I know the stuff front to back, but now I'm gunna be thinking about you not the test ;)
I'm glad you texted me, talk to you later?
-I'll be anxiously waiting for your name to appear on my screen
"Lauren, look out!" Kenzi grabbed my arm and pulled me towards her. I looked up from my phone and realized I had almost walked into a light post
"Thanks Kenz…" she smirked at me and we continued the walk to her dorm.
"You're welcome by the way." I rolled my eyes at her
"For what?" I said
"For making you text Bo, duhh?" I elbowed her arm
"Yeah, yeah."
I grabbed some clothes for the next few days from my room before my roommate and her boyfriend got back from having lunch. I walked to Kenzi's room, which wasn't too far from mine. She was in the building next to mine but they were connected so I didn't have to go back outside. I typed the four-digit code and let myself in. The room was very Kenzi. She had a roommate but she dropped out after the second month and when she left Kenzi took full advantage of having a double to herself. White strands of lights covered the entire ceiling, while posters coated the white stonewalls. She had an interesting taste in music and TV and I didn't really keep up with that stuff so I didn't recognize any of the pictures. She had a pretty big TV that I was sure her cousin had stolen for her. She had her "prized" gaming systems hooked up to the flat screen with controllers strewn all around her room. It wasn't exactly my style but I still liked it here, it was comfortable. I set my stuff down on the bed that I claimed as mine and sighed. Kenzi would be gone for another hour taking her final. It was around 4pm and it was already pretty dark outside. I didn't want to make unnecessary hikes through the fast falling snow so instead of going back to the library I went to the lounge. The main lounge was packed and I didn't feel like siting elbow to elbow with a room full of people. I decided to go to the basement and use the room next to the laundry room. It was my little secret about all the dorm buildings. Each one had one empty room that had a table, a few chairs, and a few outlets in them. They were almost always in the basement, which was a good thing because people didn't venture to the lower floor unless they were doing laundry. I let myself into the small room and took in the extra heating it had. I sat down and set my laptop up and opened my English book…A little over and hour went by and I slowly drifted off to sleep with my head resting on the table.
I awoke to my phone ringing; half awake I took the call assuming It was Kenzi looking for me.
"I'm in the room next to the laundry room." I sleepily said into the phone
"Am I supposed to know what that means?" I shot out of my seat and stood up when I heard the voice on the other end. I looked at my phone and realized it was Bo.
"Bo, uh hey.. I thought you were Kenzi." I nervously laughed trying to play it cool. I heard her laugh and relaxed a bit
"Nope, its just me sorry."
"Don't be. How was your final?"
"I was able to keep my mind off of you long enough to finish the test, so I think it went well." I blushed at her words and was thankful I was alone
"You're smooth." I teased
"You think so?"
"Oh yeah." She chuckled into the phone at my quick response
"Well don't be too impressed with me, I have my moments of awkwardness."
"I find that hard to believe." I couldn't picture Bo being anything but perfect.
"Believe it Lewis." We shared a laugh and had a moment of silence; it wasn't awkward like I feared, it was calming to hear her even breaths. I started to pack up my things deciding I had studied long enough.
"So, you're done with your finals right?" I said after a few minutes of us not talking
"Yeah, it feels good to be done with the semester. Would you want to hang out with me? Like tonight?" I was taken aback by her eagerness
"I wou-" she interrupted my reply
"I don't mean to be so blunt, again.. But it's okay if you can't; you still have finals and studying to do so-" it was my turn to interrupt her
"Bo, I was going to say I would love to." I started walking back to Kenzi's room; she would probably be back by now.
"Oh, okay.. uh great! Have you had dinner yet?"
"I haven't, meet at Tree Tops in 15 minutes?" She agreed and I hung up just as I reached Kenzi's room. I opened the door to find Kenzi sitting in front of her TV playing her favorite zombie apocalypse game. She looked over at me for a second before returning her gaze to the screen
"Hey where were you?" she asked
"Studying… How was the test?"
"TAKE THAT SUCKA!.. I totally aced it. Where are you going?" I had thrown my backpack onto the bed and was spraying perfume.
"Just to get dinner." She paused her game and looked at me
"Since when do you apply perfume and brush your hair before you go to Tree Tops?"
"Since always." She laughed at me and rolled her eyes
"Silly Lo, I'll find out eventually so you might as well just tell me now." I knew there was no point in trying to hide anything from her so I gave in
"Fine, I'm going to have dinner with Bo." She grinned at me and handed me my jacket.
"Go get 'em tiger!" She winked at me and shoved me out of the room before I had a chance to change my mind.
I took the shuttle to the dinning hall because the snow was getting worse and just didn't have the energy. I walked in and waited in line to swipe my ID card. I felt Bo before I saw her. She bumped her shoulder into mine as she stepped up next to me. I grinned and looked at her. She was even more beautiful than I remembered. It had only been maybe 10 hours since I saw her last but it felt like more than that. She had changed since the last time I saw her. She kept the leggings but ditched the leather boots for a pair of black ugg boots, and she was wearing a purple long sleeve shirt that said Emerson on it in white letters, she was still holding her leather jacket in her hand. She looked gorgeous and here I was in my yoga pants and sweatshirt.
"Hey." I had momentarily forgotten how to for complete thoughts and that was the best I could do for now
"Hey there yourself… I know we saw each other this morning but I actually forgot how beautiful you are." I felt heat rise from neck and up into my cheeks, I was extremely thankful that it was my turn to swipe my card because it gave me an excuse to look away from Bo's adoring gaze. We shuffled around the cafeteria together occasionally making a comment or two but for the most part we were silent until we sat down to eat. We picked a booth in far back corner that was almost always unoccupied. I looked down at my salad and grilled chicken and sighed at the simple meal.
"I can't wait to have a home cooked meal." Bo said. I looked up at her and found her looking down at her plate with a pout on her face. I grinned at the child like adorableness she was displaying. I couldn't keep my eyes off of her full lips, I wanted nothing more than to lean over and kiss her. I bit the inside of my lip and quickly looked away before she caught me starring.
"You miss home?" I asked, her warm eyes looked up and met mine making my heart skip a beat
"Not really… My Mother passed away when I was young and my Dad never recovered." Her eyes held a sadness in them that was making my heart break for the girl I met only hours ago
"I'm sorry for your loss, I would be lost without my mom… Do you have any other family members you're close with?" I reached across the table and placed my hand on top of hers to comfort her. She looked down at our hands and back up at me
"Thanks… Yeah I have an Aunt and Uncle who look out for me, I'm excited to see them. What about you, you miss home?" I went to remove my hand but she stopped me and laced our fingers together, I did my best to hide the foolish grin on my face.
"Yeah, my parents are always really busy but they make time to see me when I come home for breaks and stuff… My Mom is a Doctor, and my Dad is writer." She smiled at me and took sip of water. We ate slowly focusing more on getting to know each other than eating, our hands never separated.
"Sorry to interrupt but we're closing." An older woman said to us. I looked up confused. I didn't even realize how much time had gone by. We got up and threw our stuff away. I missed the warmth of her hand in mine, apparently she did too because as soon as we had our jackets on she took my hand in hers and squeezed it tight. I blushed and we walked out of the building.
We stopped dead in our tracks once we got outside. Over the few hours we had been inside the snow had picked up leaving over a foot of white fluff on the ground.
"Whoa, how long were we in there." Bo joked
"I didn't know it was supposed to snow this much." I replied back. Bo took out her phone and began dialing. I looked at her questioningly
"I'm calling to get an escort back to the dorms, unless you wanna walk?" I shook my head no. It would be a long and tiring walk and I wasn't up for that.
"Hi, I'm at Tree Tops I was wondering if you could come pick me and my friend up and bring us back to the dorms?" She paused and listened to the answer. A minute later she huffed and ended the call. She looked at me and nervously laughed
"I hope you like the snow because we're walking."
"What? Why?" I whined. She laughed at me and shook her head
"Apparently the shuttle is driving the commuters to the bus stop; which will take at least an hour. The escort vehicles aren't exactly doing so well with the snow, apparently they're all stuck in parking lot." I laughed, not because it was funny but because this would only happen to me.
"I shouldn't be surprised. You ready?" I asked. She nodded her head yes and began the god-awful journey to the dorms. It was freezing cold and we were forced to keep our hands to our selves and hide them away in the pockets of our coats. For the most part we were silent focusing on the path ahead of us trying ot find the easiest way back to the dorms. After what seemed like forever we finally reached gates of the dorms. We walked into the first one to escape the cold.
"So, do you have to get back to studying?" I grinned at the sight of her rosy cheeks and the flakes of snow that were melting in her long brown hair.
"I couldn't study anymore even if I wanted to…" We stayed silent both not wanting part but not knowing how to casually bring it up.
"Would you wanna watch a movie or something?" She asked nervously
"Definitely.. I uh, yeah that would be nice." That would be nice? Be more awkward Lauren. I thought to myself, she smirked and I followed her to her room. She lived on the third floor and we silently made our way upstairs. She unlocked her room and opened the door for me. Bo's room was plain and simple, but I loved it. She lived in a single and it was small but cozy. Her bed had burgundy sheets and was covered in fleece blankets that didn't match. She had a small fridge, TV, and desk and that was it. The walls were covered with movie posters, and I noticed the piles of book scattered around the room. She turned a lamp on that illuminated the room, our eyes met and we stood silent. Minutes passed and I broke the eye contact and looked down at my shoes, they were drenched from the snow.
"So do you have a movie preference?"
"Not really, whatever you want is fine with me." She nodded
"Feel free to make yourself at home, if you need a warmer sweatshirt, or dry socks let me know." She removed her own boots placing them next to the door and I did the same, I discarded my jacket and sweatshirt and placed them on her chair. She looked over at me as she was putting a disc into the player clearly enjoying the low cut t-shirt I was wearing. She was undressing me with her eyes and I let it happen longer than I should have.
"So uh, what movie are we watching?" She came out of her daydream and blushed slightly
"His Girl Friday, I love black and white movies and this is a classic. Have you ever seen it?" She asked as she hoped up onto her bed and patted the seat next to her for me to take, I sat down and scooted over to her side. She was sitting with her back against the wall, her legs crossed in front of her. The bed was a standard college sized bed. Which forced our bodies to be pressed up against one another, not that I was complaining. She pressed play and we focused on the screen as old music played while the opening sequence played out, I watched as the camera made it's way through a busy news room, and cut to a receptionist answering phones in a separate room.
I felt Bo's eyes on me and turned to face her. She kept her eyes on me and took my hand in hers. I instantly forgot about the movie and focused on Bo. The warmth of her body next to mine, the way our hands fell together perfectly, the intensity of her gaze, the pulse in her neck. I looked into her eyes, my gaze flickering from the deep brown orbs down to her lips and back again. She bit her lower lip and slowly leaned in until her lips were inches from mine. She was waiting for me to close the distance and who was I to keep to her waiting? I pressed my lips against hers softly and pulled away to look at her. She smiled and brought her hand up to the back of my neck tangling her fingers in my golden locks. It was my turn to bit my lower lip, I was holding in the urge to jump her. She pulled me close to her and ignited another kiss, this one deeper and more forceful. She tugged on my lower lip and I felt her move away for me, I brought my hands up to her neck and pulled her back to me bringing our lips back together. My tongue pressed to her lips asking for entrance, she parted her lips and moaned into me as I started exploring her mouth. Our tongues danced together until air was absolutely necessary.
"Whoa.." She breathed as I removed my hands from her. She smirked at me and shook her head
"And where do you think you're going?"
"I'm watching the movie silly." I said flirtatiously as I turned away from her and looked at the screen.
"I don't think so." It took every ounce of self-control I had not to look over at her.
"Try and stop me." I challenged. A moment passed and the brunette hadn't moved. I was about to give in when she quickly straddled me blocking my view of the screen. I swallowed hard and looked up at the ceiling trying to act uninterested. She kissed my neck and dragged her lips up to my ear, driving me completely insane.
"Be careful Lauren, you're playing a dangerous game here." She whispered seductively into my ear sending a shiver down my spine. I kept my eyes on the small screen not wanting to give into just yet.
"Oh and why is that?" I asked slowly trying to hide my arousal
"I don't give up easily, and I usually get what I want." She returned her lips to my neck nipping and sucking. Words Lauren, say words, it doesn't even have to be a complete thought just ONE word will do. I thought to myself. She continued her attack until I remembered how to speak
"You know what they say don't you?" I said coolly
"What's that?" she mumbled against my skin
"If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again." She separated her lips from my neck and stared at me. I looked her dead in the eyes and smirked at her. She licked her lips and lunged forward taking my breath away as she pressed her lips against mine for the most amazing kiss of my life. The little self-control that I had went out the window. I rested my hands on her thighs and moved them up to hips, at the same time she untangled our tongues and moved her lips back to my neck biting and sucking hard being sure to leave her mark on me. A moan escaped my mouth and I let my hands wander to her exposed lower back pulling her closer. She moved her mouth back to mine; we were both hungry for more. I moved my lips to her neck; it was my turn to leave a mark. She gasped when I ran my tongue up the length of her neck up to her ear. I sucked on her lobe and made sure to breathe directly in her ear letting her hear how turned on and out of breath I already was. Her hands tugged on my hair forcing me to part with her tasty neck. She relaxed her grip on me when I stopped trying to move back towards her. I grinned at her as she caught her breath.
"Shit Lauren." I moved my hands to back to her thighs releasing my grip on her
"Did I do something?" I said as innocently as possible, she narrowed her eyes at me
"Ha-ha. You're bad you know that?" I grinned at her
"And what if I am? Is that going to be a problem?" She kissed me again, this time it was slow and soft and filled with emotion. She pulled away from me leaving me wanting more
"Absolutely not. I can be bad too." She winked at me and removed her body from mine. I watched as she walked to fridge and took out a pitcher of water. I instantly craved the feeling of her body on mine. I got up and took the glass from her hand just as she was about to take the first sip. I took my time draining it before handing her the empty cup.
"So refreshing." She shook her head and laughed at me
"Watch it Lewis." She said as she refilled the cup and took a sip. She placed the pitcher of water back into the fridge and leaned against her desk to face me.
"Or what?" She gave me a confused look
"What?"
"Watch it Lewis or what?"
"Or… You'll be punished." I smirked at her and walked closer to her. I wasn't this flirtatious with anyone, but something about Bo made me want to step my game up. She reached out and pulled my body to hers. Her hands wrapped around my waist and held me tight. I draped my arms around her neck and smiled at her.
"What's the punishment?" I questioned
"Wouldn't you like to know?" She was good.
"How long do I have to misbehave before I get punished?" I ran my finger across her lips and down her neck
"You'll just have to wait and see." She countered. I kissed her and bit down on her bottom lip drawing a moan form her, I pulled away and whispered
"Don't keep waiting too long." I moved to kiss her again but she stopped me
"What's wrong?" I asked
"Nothing… Well, not nothing.." I suddenly became worried something was wrong. Maybe she didn't want me; maybe I was being too forward?
"Tell me Bo."
"You need to stop doing that, saying things that make me wanna rip your clothes off."
"I'm sorry I didn't realize…"
"Well now you know. I don't want to rush things, I want to get to know you, and actually watch a movie with you, and take you out on a date… I don't want to rush into bed with you because I don't want you to think that's all I want…"
"Can I tell you a secret?"
"Sure." She said
"I usually have a lot more self-control… I want to get to know you too Bo." She smiled at me and kissed my cheek. We agreed to keep our hands to ourselves and actually watch the movie.
~So there it is. I'm keeping this light and happy for the most part because I think we all need some happy Doccubus time. I'll update as soon as I can. Thanks!~
