One kiss at a time

03

"You alright bro?" Benedict's friend James asks as they walk to the university union

"Yeah...got this girl's number...real cute" Benedict says chuckling to himself

"Would love to see her..." James replies before winking at a nearby girl who was staring at them

"You do know you'll get punched in the face when you hit on a girl and she has a boyfriend who's on the wrestling team"

"Can't happen"

"It did"

James chuckles "It's not my fault I'm so handsome..." he says fixing his sunglasses on his face

"How's the chick you got during the party last weekend"

"Meh...we have two different points of view...no point dating her...bang and move on"

"Right....that's why you had so many girls knocking on your door when it was time for your graduation party"

"That's the power of the wink"

Benedict rolls his eyes and notices Aaliyah, talking to her friend, he thinks. "Hey man I'll catch up to you later," He says before leaving James who calls him confused

"Hi" Benedict says to her and her friend

"Oh Hi Benedict...this is Sammy...my roommate...Sammy this is my friend I talked to you about" Aaliyah says

"Ah...hi?" Sammy says staring at him confusingly

"Did you hear great things about me?" Benedict smirking as Aaliyah looks away, slightly blushing

"Yeah, unfortunately...the freshman who won the university our first goal at last weekend's football game"

"Pretty sick" Benedict smiles combing his hair through his blonde hair " So what are you two doing?" Benedict asks

"Just getting Sammy for her interview" She replies "She's really tense"

"Ahh...I see....Hi...Sammy and good luck"

Sammy nods, not greeting him again since she had already done that

"So what's the interview for?" Benedict asks resting his body on the nearby wall

"The Hale Co....got an interview after like 5 weeks when I applied" Sammy replies holding her books firmly in her hands

"Cool...I'm the last born of the Hale family" Benedict says chuckling

Sammy's eyes widened "Wait the Hale family?"

Benedict nods as Aaliyah laughs at her reaction

"No way....I didn't even know they had a son....you know I would think that you would act like your brothers, fuck boys and womanizers" Sammy says

"Huh...I'm kinda like them, yeah....but do you want me to hook you up with my elder brother? He's in charge of employees" Benedict asks

"Yes please!"

"No problem..so mind if I talk to you Aaliyah?" Benedict stares at Sammy before looking at Aaliyah "In private?"

Aaliyah nods with a smile "Sure but we have to drop Sammy first, I need to follow her and cheer her on."

"I can follow you ....if you like..." Benedict says scratching his neck

"You can. Just dropping her off and grabbing a meal, so I'm free to talk" She says smiling

"Great" Benedict says.

Aaliyah and Benedict walk to their university union cafe, laughing together, Benedict making jokes at Aaliyah while she playfully hits him
