The line to register for class is long and it is hotter than I ever remember it being down South.The trees outside the admissions office swayed in the hot wind allowing shade for seconds at a time.The guy behind me kept trying small talk, but it didn't make the time go by any faster.
"I'm Ryan by the way." The guy behind me made his way to my side, blocking the sun.
I extended my hand. "Lily."
Ryan towered over me. He had to be at least 6'3. His skin was mocha and glistened in the sun like coffee beans. He reminded me of a mocha frappucino. Or maybe I'm just thirsty.
"So Lily, where are you from?"
"Venice Beach" I replied as I wiped a bead of sweat from my forehead.
"Damn! So how'd you even get here? You must be loaded" he laughed.
"No..I"
"I mean, you came all the way to Mississippi to go here? Man...I'd stay up in Venice..."
His words turned into a bee hum. My eyes shifted to a man coming from the admissions office. I felt the wind in my eyes...I couldn't keep my eyes off him. He was walking my way. To my surprise, he stopped and spoke to Ryan.
"Hey Trevor man what's up?" Ryan pulled in Trevor for a brotherly hug.
"Hey...man, trying to get to my dorm. All you late registrars are in my way!" He laughed...and showed that smile.
"Well damn my bad, but hey this is Lily. She's from Venice Beach" Ryan introduced me as if we were friends.
I could barely speak. Trevor had an amazing smile that almost brought me to my knees.
"Hi, how are you doing Ms. Lily?" Trevor's charm was breathtaking. His blue eyes held on to my gaze and it was as if I knew him before.
"I'm fine. And you?" I found saliva in my mouth to quench my thirst. The hot air got to my throat as my mouth was open when I was staring at Trevor.
"You are beautiful...I mean, really. Your eyes, skin...what are you?" He asked.
"I'm Cuban and Black"
Ryan faded into the line when he noticed the conversation no longer included him. Trevor and I stood and talked until it was my turn to register.
"Well, I stay in Eastbury Apartments...3C-2. Want to come by later?" Trevor played with his sandy blonde hair as if he was nervous to ask.
"I'll think about it. Stay in around 8..IF I decide to come." I giggled..
He walked away with his pants in his cargo pants and let out a small laugh.

It's 7:00 and my mind is made. I'm going to Trevor's. I have to choose an outfit...not something extravagant. Jeans, t-shirt and Toms will do. I took a shower and washed my hair so my black curls would be fresh and clean. As I looked in the mirror to brush my teeth I saw the beauty Trevor pointed out earlier today. My skin was like rich caramel and my eyes...well I've always liked them. They're hazel but mostly green. After I slipped my clothes and shoes on I did one more round of Cashmere Glow body spray. Light and sexy.
Campus was dry. No one was out really. I walked across the yard to the apartment complex and I was greeted by Ryan.
"Hey Lily...why are you all the way over here?" Ryan had his hands tucked in his black jean pockets and he smelled of weed.
