As I tirelessly walked down the hallway after finishing my last class of today, my friend Naomi jumped in front my path startling me, "hey Avery!" she said with a bright smile on her face "hey Naomi" I responded with a yawn " I'm planning a party in like two weeks, do you think you could come? " she pleaded, " uhmm I can see if I could make time" I said, Naomi's face lit up and she quickly hugged me and ran off " remember to tell Tia! " she screamed down the hallway.
As Tia and I sat in the courtyard she kept on blabbering about this new guy she had set her her eyes on, "I thought your eyes we're on William? " I asked, she cocked her eyebrow and began to laugh hysterically, I looked at her confused and partially concerned, is she crazy? I thought, Tia wiped the imaginary tear of her face and leaned back on the bench " it's better to have a stone in your hand than having nothing, William is taking his merry time to ask me out so I have a substitute " she said closing her eyes.
I told Tia that I'm going for some water, she nodded and kept her eyes close, on my way to the water fountain I accidentally bumped into William, " Avery hey! have you seen Tia?" he asked.
I pointed to the back of me, he nodded in appreciation and began to walk when I stopped him, " she likes Mexican food, her favourites are tamales and sopaipillas" I said giving him a wink and walked away, let's hope he gets the hint, I thought. As I bent down to drink from the fountain my hair kept getting in the way, I pushed it back multiple times but gave up cause it kept falling back down, I groaned in frustration when all of a sudden a muscular hand pulled the strand of hair back holding it in place, I immediately stopped and my body stiffened as I felt his warm hands caress my collar bone. Slowly, I stood up and looked at Connor.
He pulled his hand away causing the hair to fall in front my eye, I gently brushed it behind my ear, "so are you trying to do match making now? " he asked, I looked at him confused wondering what he meant, he walked behind and gently placed his hand on my jaw and the other on my hand keeping me balanced, I looked over my shoulder to see him staring at me.
He slightly turned my head toward Tia who was smiling at William, I guess he did it, I thought as a slight smile appeared on my face. I turned around forgetting Connor was behind me and abruptly stopped when our lips were one breath away, my eyes widened at the sudden position, a light gasp escaping my mouth and my shakey breath heaving, Connors eyes darted down to my parted lips while I kept staring at his eyes, "Connor!" a group of guys hollered at him, Connor looked at his friends and back at me with disappointed eyes and gently let go and walked over to them.
I looked down at my feet, I didn't want him to let go, I loved the way he held onto me, the way our lips were inches apart from clashing together, I wanted to go further.
I exhaled my breath not realizing I was holding it, "damn it Avery" I murmured under my breath as I walked back to Tia.

As I walked away from Avery with my friends I couldn't help but turn around to see her walking away looking red as a tomato, I smirked wondering if I had that effect on her.
"Yo dude, who was the chick you were with?" my friend asked, " no one important " I said, " well if she's not anything with you I should try to shoot my shot, cause damn she's fin-" my friend stopped as I glared daggers at him, he nervously laughed off the idea as we continued walking.
I didn't want to leave Avery, I wanted to stay in that position with her, God if she knew how much I just wanted to kiss her there, to just please her already.
And I'll be damned if anyone tried to get with her.

I sat down on the bench with Tia, she sat up and squealed as she noticed me "omg Ava,William asked me out!" "Where are you guys going? " I asked " to this Mexican restaurant down a few blocks, I wonder how he knew I liked Mexican food? " I coughed trying to hide the smile on my face "when are you guys going?", "Saturday" she said giggling, " well I guess we better start prepping, two days aren't enough for you to get ready " I said laughing, Tia playfully pushed me and we walked to her dorm.
As I stepped out the shower and wrapped a towel around myself, I began to dry my hair after washing it, geez Tia took up so much time, I thought, I was so exhausted while walking back to my dorm, when Connor suddenly appeared in my thoughts, I blushed at the thought of him and our encounter today, I hated this feeling so much because it reminded me of him.....but I loved it at the same time because I loved him more than anything.
I pondered for a while until I felt a burning beat at the side of my ear, fuck, damn hair dryer, I thought. I changed into my pajamas and sighed at how comfortable I felt getting out of my clothes.

I threw the towel into the basket and walked outside the door, "ow" I said once again rubbing my forehead "you know I'm starting to think you enjoy bumping into me Cas" I looked up to see Connor's eyes roaming my body, I felt a rise of heat stirring inside "my eyes are up here you know that right?" I said placing my hand on the side of my hip.
"I'm getting there" he said, I blushed and bit my lip shuffling in place, Connor slightly smirked on seeing how flustered I was beginning to get, he suddenly began to walk closer forcing my back to the wall.
" You know, we didn't get to finish what we started at the fountain" he said his face slowly getting closer to mine" my nerves began to rise and my peaked nipples poked through my silk pajamas making it visible. "I- I don't know what you're talking about" I said turning my head and playing with the ruffles on my pants.
Connor gently turned my head so that I'm facing him and he looked into my eyes and then to my pursed lips a slight grin appearing on his face, " I think you do know Cas" his voice husky and low "th- that's not my n- name" I said tightening my grip on my shorts " I know, it's a nickname I gave you" he said.
GREAT FUCK, WHAT WAS THIS MAN DOING TO ME?!?!
I stared into Connor's eyes then darted down to his lips that were inches apart as my core wettened my underwear thinking of the unimaginable things I wanted to do with him, suddenly I regained my senses and ducked under his arm rushing away to my door, "I'm not one of your fuck buddies, let's get that straight, nor am I looking for anything serious" I said coldly, turning around to look at him, what the hell? Was this fool smiling? I rolled my eyes still blushing like a tomato and closed the door behind me.
I slid down to the floor wrapping my arms around my legs shock written all over my face, "snap out of it Avery, we're done with dating" I said walking to my bed laying down on it.
I yawned at the day I just had and prayed to God that tomorrow will be better as I slowly closed my eyes and fell asleep.
~𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐫~
As I stood there alone in the living room looking at Avery's door her words continuously playing in my head, I'm not one of your fuck buddies, she's different, I thought smiling at how nervous she was just a minute ago and how cold she turned.
When I thought about the nickname I called her I smirked while walking to my room, she'll figure out what it means later on.
