Back In The Game

Chapter 21

Marie's POV

I cannot believe he is here. I absentmindedly walked back to my room, running into people on the way.

"Aspen... you remember that Shawn dude I was telling you about?" I ask her when I  walk in the room, still a little dazed.

"Yeah, the one you mentioned 40 billion times this-"

"Yeahyeahyeah...he's...he's here," I tell her, calmly. I'm still in shock that I can't get excited yet.

"You mean like...here here?"

"Yes, here."

"Wait... is he really tall, darkskin, nice smile, curly hair?"She askes, describing him. I nod.

"I saw him at Chick-Fil-A this morning!" She says jumping up from her bed. Now I can finally get excited.

"Oh my gosh, Aspen, I can't believe he is here!" I scream.

"Okay, calm down!" She says, pulling my arm to sit on the bed with her.

"I have to meet him after his class in about an hour."

"Well our next class is in 30 minutes..." She reminds me. "But don't worry about it, I'll cover for you."

"Oh, thank you Aspen," I say, hugging her neck.

"Well I'm supposed to be going to meet Jacob soon, you are going to be ok here by yourself right?" She jokes.

"Just go!" I say, shoving her out of the door. I can't just sit in the room for another hour so I text Dax to meet me in the main building.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Hey, just trying to kill some time. You remember the dude Lashawn I told you a little about?" I ask Dax as we walk through campus.

"Yeah, I remember."

"Well it turns out that he goes here," I tell him, trying to stay calm.

"Really? I'm gunna have to meet this dude then!"

"Don't worry, you'll meet him soon enough," I assure him. I look at the time and Shawn should be out of class in about 15 minutes.

"Wanna grab a milkshake?" Dax askes as we make our way towards a McDonalds.

"Yeah, actually," I check my pocket. "I forgot my walket though."

"It's ok, I gotcha this time," he says and we head inside.

"Can I get a chocolate milkshake, no whipcream," Dax orders.

"And for you ma'am?"

"Umm, two vanilla shakes, one without the cherry please," I tell the cashier. Dax pays and we stand by the drink machine to wait.

"Wait, why do you need two milkshakes?" He askes.

"For Shawn. I'm meeting him after his class. Don't worry I'll pay you back when I get to my wallet."

"Don't worry about it, really," He says as we grab our shakes and head back.

"You can meet him now if you want. He gets out soon."

Dax's POV

"Uh, yeah, I'll meet 'em." I tell her. Just when I was getting up the nerve to ask her out sometime, her boyfriend shows up.

We make our way back to the administration building, as we make our way up the steps, people come flooding out. I see Marie trying to push past them but she doesn't make it very far. I quickly step in front of her and push past them myself.

"Thanks," She says when we make it inside. She's scanning the hall trying to find LaShawn.

"Rie, over here," I hear from behind me. Marie and I turn around at the same time to face this dude only slightly taller than me, same skin as Marie, voice real deep. She runs to jump in his arms, almost spilling the milkshake. After they finally let go of each other, Marie starts to introduce us.

"Dax, this is LaShawn. Shawn, this is my friend Dax."

"Wussup man," he says, as we shake hands.

"Well, Marie, I've got an early class tomorrow and I have a couple assignments so I'm gunna go." I tell her, heading for the door.

"Alright, you still gunna meet me in the morning?" she askes.

"Of course," I tell her and head back to my room.

LaShawn's POV

"I know I haven't spoken to you in I don't know how long, baby. I'm sorry," I explain to Marie on the way back to my room.

"Shawn, really let's just forget about all that in New York okay? We're here now," she says, and takes my hand in hers.

"I still love you," I blurt out. I've been wanting to tell her that since after the incident in New Jersey.

"And I still love you Shawn," she tells me when I reach into my pocket for my room key.

"You wanna come in?" I ask her as I open the door.

"Of course."

When we get inside, I notice that Lijah isn't there. I sit down on my bed and gesture for her to join me.

"I've missed you so much," I say into her hair.

She doesn't say anything but instead looks up and kisses me. I break our kiss only so I can lay her down, me hovering over her. I slowly reconnect our lips, sliding my tounge into her mouth. I stop her only to remove my jacket and shirt. She starts sliding her pants off under me and I help her. I stop our kiss yet again to remove everything but her bra and panties and my boxers.

"I guess we're finally ready huh?" She says, hooking her arms around my neck. I dont say anything, instead I just trail kisses down her neck to her stomach. I hesitate before taking her panties off, but she beat me to it, sliding them off herself.

               She is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I rake my eyes up and down her body and finally decide I can't take it anymore. I slide my boxers off and look her in the eye.

"Shawn, I've waited way to long," she says, reading my mind. I kiss her as I slide in ever so slowly.

"Tell me if it hurts," I whisper into her ear. As I slide in further, her breathing sharpens and her nails start to dig into my back. She feels so good around me that I almost forget that I could be hurting her.

"You okay?"

She doesn't say anything, but nods. I quicken the pace making her bite her lip and tighten her grip on me. The way she looks now is almost enough to make me finish but I hold on. I go on for as long as I can, trying to savor every second. This was the best I've ever felt.

I can tell that she's almost done by the way she was shaking. I pull out of her just in time.

"Sh-Shawn?"

"You okay?" I ask her, getting worried.

"That... was... amazing," she tells me trying to catch her breath.

"I know baby, I know," I agree with her pulling her close as we both fall asleep.
