Life at College

The date

I walked back in the rows at the library. There was this recommended book in my psychology class I wanted to read. The professor said it would give us a broader understanding of the topic. I continued walking deeper inside the library. I liked it there. Surrounded by books and nothing else. Almost at the end, I turned a corner.

«Hello there» Liam was standing in front of me. «Fancy meeting you here» He looked pleased to see me.

«Hi» I said, a lot less confident than I would like to. I expected him to kiss me, like he had done at his room the other day, but he didn't. He just stood there looking at me. I shifted a bit uncomfortable.

«Ehh, I was just looking for a book» I managed to stammer out of me.

«I kind of got that» He said and leaned in closer. I couldn't help but look at his lips. God, I wanted to kiss him. Why hadn't he kissed me? We stood there staring at each other. My eyes flickered between his blue eyes and his pink lips. After some moments Liam broke the silence.

«You know if you want to kiss me, you can just ask. Or better yet, do» He smirked at me. I was stunned over how forward he was. It was like he was reading my mind. «Or I can just walk away if that is what you prefer» Liam took a step away, scanning for my reaction. I did nothing. Said nothing. «Looks like I have my answer. » Liam actually looked a bit disappointed. He was about to turn away then I grabbed his shirt and pulled him close. I slammed my lips into his. It couldn't have looked very gracious, and it did hurt a bit. But I didn't care. Liam grabbed around me. Pushing me up against the wall. Our kiss grew more intense, and I could feel his tongue against my lips. I opened my mount and let him in. Liam grabbed my waist and lifted me up. I wrapped my legs around him. When we kiss, all my thoughts flew out of my head. The world disappears and there is no-one else. Just us two. As our kiss deepened, Liam explored my body with is hands. I melted under his touch. Eventually our kiss ended, and Liam sat me down on the floor again. We stood there. Foreheads together. Hearts beating in sync. Both out of breath.

«Well, I guess I have my answer» Liam said. Grinning from ear to ear.

«We need to talk about this» I said out of breath once I had regained my brain function.

«Sure, let's talk»

«We can't talk here» I said looking around. No one was around, but I didn't want to do it here. Where people could hear me or where Matt could run into us.

«Matt has plans tonight. You can come over» Liam suggested. Clearly eager to talk. I hesitated but nodded. «Great, it's a date» Liam kissed my cheek and walked away. I was left in the corner.

A date. Did he mean it, or was it just a random choice of words? It doesn't really seem like he uses random words. At least not towards me. I shook my head and walked back to my seat. I realized that I couldn't quite control my thoughts when I tried to study. Neither had I managed to find the book I originally had searched for. My mind kept returning to Liam and his stupid smirk. His eyes and of course the kiss. Or maybe I should call it a make-out session. Eventually I left the library and went back to my dorm.

Ella was studying at her desk. I laid down on my bed to collect myself. After a while it suddenly dawned on me that I should change before I went over to Liam's. I got up and opened my wardrobe. Scanning through my clothes I suddenly felt like I had nothing to wear. I sighed.

«Are you meeting a boy? » Ella had turned around at her desk.

«How did you know? » I asked confused. We didn't really know each other to well but she was always nice to talk to. She just wasn't around that much.
