Bailey had just broken up with Chris a few days ago. Needless to say, he cheated on her, as most college sophomores do, with a freshman who was oblivious to their 2 year long relationship. But Bailey was over crying. She was moving on. It was Thirsty Thursday and Bailey didn’t have any Friday classes.
She took some shots of Patron with her girls and made her way to the “U” to find herself a new Lincoln Lion to get her mind off of what happened.
She spotted him immediately. Just like last year at the Pep Rally, when Bailey locked eyes with Noah for the first time and felt her heart skip a beat. He was so fine. His eyes made her weak in the knees and when he licked his lips, Bailey felt like she could melt… then Chris put his arm around her shoulder and she snapped out of it. But not tonight. There was no Chris to interrupt tonight.
Bailey walked right over to Noah and started playing her usual cat and mouse game. She’d say a few leading things, he’d say a few things back, and by the end of it, Bailey’d have him eating out of the palm of her hand.
This went on for about an hour until the rest of the girls decided it was time to go back to the room. Noah agreed to walked with them to make sure they made it back safely, but in Bailey’s heart, she knew he wanted to spend more time with her.
When they got to the dorm room, Bailey’s roommate put on some music and the girls began to dance, sing, and take more shots. Somehow throughout the course of the night, Bailey found herself sitting on the edge of the high-rise bed, with Noah standing in front of her between her legs. He was talking, but she didn’t hear a word he said as she stared into his eyes – the same eyes that made her heart skip a beat last year at the Pep Rally before Chris snapped her back to reality. But tonight, instead, her heart was racing, this was reality, and Chris wasn’t there to get in the way.
She stared at him, silently noticing every detail about his face. She had never been this close to Noah before and he was beautiful. Handsome may have been a more manlier word to use, but Bailey really felt like he was the most beautiful man she’d laid eyes on. He was still talking even though Bailey had yet to say anything back, and then he did it. He licked his lips and Bailey couldn’t take it any more.
“Can I kiss you?” Bailey interrupted him mid sentence.
They stared at each other for a few seconds. Bailey waited for Noah to lean in and grant her request, but he never did.
“I’m sorry,” Noah replied. “Chris is my boy… I couldn’t do that to him.”
Bailey couldn’t believe her ears. Her staring at Noah in infatuation turned into a stare of confusion. “What just happened?” Thoughts began to race through her head.
“You know that Chris and I are over!”
“You don’t want to kiss me because of what we USED to have?”
“Chris didn’t care about what we had, so why do you?”
“Wait a minute, if you don’t even want to kiss me, why are you here?”
“In my dorm room?”
“Between my legs?!”
All of these thoughts raced through Bailey’s head but she never said a word in response.
After a few seconds, Noah backed up, said goodnight to the other girls and left without even a single glance back at Bailey.
“Fucking Chris!” Bailey thought as she threw herself down on the bed and tossed the covers over her face.
