I turned to look at him, utterly lost in his beautiful eyes. “Yeah?”
He hesitated and then spoke. “Tonight was pretty cool, thanks for hanging with me.”
I gave him a sweet smile and felt warm all over. “Anytime.”
Our student union was open late into the night, so we went there, grabbed some nachos and drinks and sat at a table in the back, away from everyone. I suggested we go there because if I was alone with him in his room, there was no way I would hold back that night.
There were only a couple of people there since almost everyone was probably at the after party, which was fine with me because it gave us a chance to have some privacy.
As he sat across from me I still marveled at how beautiful he was. My eyes roamed over his chiseled face, down the angles of his jaw and I drank in everything about him that I could see. He had a bit of scruff and I could tell that he could grow a full beard if he wanted to. I loved a bit of scruff on a guy and I couldn’t wait to feel Jonathan’s scruff against my cheek again. He was so sexy, confident and mature looking that it was easy to forget that he was only 21. I realized that I was staring at him when I heard him ask the question.
“Do you like what you see?” His dark eyes smoldered as they seductively grabbed a hold of me.
I didn’t back down from his gaze and returned a sincere answer. “Yes, I do.”
He gave me a soft smile. “Me too.” He took a deep breath and then let out a long breath. “Okay, it’s a good thing we are here and not back in my room, I think we’re safer here.”
I gave him a knowing smile. “Me too.”
A small smirk turned up the corner of his mouth and I saw the gleam in his eye as he took a sip of his drink. He put it down on the table and leaned back in his chair, his eyes focused on me.
“Okay, tell me everything. I want to know all about you Sky. We haven’t really had a chance to go deep, and I want to go deep with you.”
“Um, okay, where do you want me to start?”
“The beginning. What was your childhood like?”
A smile spread across my face as I thought about my dad. “It was awesome. You already know that I’m the youngest and I think my dad spoiled me because I was the baby in the family. He had a great relationship with all of us but he and I had something different from his relationship with my brother and sister. Our bond was really tight and I could talk to him about anything. My mom and I have always had a good relationship, and we still do, but my dad was my best friend.”
“You’re talking about your dad in the past. Did something happen to him?” His eyes were full of concern.
I hadn’t yet told Jonathan that my dad had died when I was a little girl because we hadn’t really talked about our families much. We had just covered surface stuff like how many siblings we had and where we lived. I didn’t mind opening up to him about my dad and I wanted him to know how special my dad was. I took a deep breath and glanced down at the table before raising my eyes to his.

The next morning, I was wide awake at 9:30 even though I should have been exhausted, and Jonathan was still sleeping so I left a note for him telling him I would see him later. That weekend was pretty crazy on campus because Fall Festival continued all day on Saturday and a bunch of people started drinking early that day. It was almost 1:00 p.m. and I hadn’t heard from or seen Jonathan and I had a pit in the bottom of my stomach because this was exactly what I had predicted. He realized I was from the other side of the tracks and he had bolted. I tried really hard to brush off my feelings for him but it was hard because in the time that we had spent together he really made me feel like it was real.
Thankfully it was a warm fall day and there were tons of people in the quad picnicking, playing music, drinking, and just having a good time. Jenn, Katie, Amanda, Brenda and I were sitting near the south end of the quad when Brenda’s boyfriend Jake and a bunch of his friends came over to us and sat down. Amanda and Brenda were nowhere near each other and Brenda didn’t even acknowledge Amanda’s presence.
“Hey girls.”
Brenda beamed at him as he joined us and they looked really happy together so I pushed my judgmental thoughts about his cheating as**s out of my head.
“What’s going on Jake?” I noticed that Amanda gave him a slightly shady smile and I couldn’t believe she had the nerve to do it.
He didn’t look her way as he started talking to everyone. “So, did anyone else rush this year?”
Uh oh, there is definitely some tension there. I looked around to see if anyone else noticed, and Katie and Jenn looked at me giving me a quizzical look. They probably were thinking what I was, that Amanda shouldn’t have said anything.
Sorority life wasn’t really my thing, but Katie really wanted me to rush with her so I did, but I didn’t pledge mainly because I didn’t want to even though I got picked, but also because the fees were expensive. She chimed in quickly. “Definitely, me, Sky, and Jenn rushed but only me and Jenn pledged. Sky left us high and dry.”
A loud cackle pierced the air once again and the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end as I saw Boobs McGee tossing her fake blonde extensions over her shoulder, sitting with a group of girls a few feet away from us. Ugh! She was clearly trying to get someone’s attention but I couldn’t tell whose until I saw Jonathan’s muscular body walking toward us with a group of guys. My heart skipped a beat as he didn’t even glance in her direction, and his eyes zeroed in on me. My heart pounded against my chest cavity as he approached us and my mouth was suddenly dry. How can he have this effect on me every time?
“Jonathan, come join us!” Jake and his friends moved over to make room for Jonathan and his buddies and we ended up sitting in a huge circle with girls outnumbered by guys two to one. I swear the energy shifted when they joined us and every girl, including Brenda, had a huge smile on their face and they were staring at Jonathan waiting for him to speak.
“Hey guys. What’s going on?” Jonathan looked around at everyone and then his eyes settled on me. His deep, smooth voice was enough to make you want to drop everything for him, at least it was for me. I was so happy to see him and so happy that he came to sit by me.
I looked at him and it literally
