Day 3-
" Hey baby." This was definitely the best way to wake up, Maia decided. Talon stroked stray bits of hair away from her face. She sat up with him and kissed his lips. He wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her closer. She wrapped her legs around his waist and practically sat in his lap. He started kissing her like there was no tomorrow and ran his tongue over her lips. He grabbed the hem of her shirt and tugged it off gently. She slid her hands down around his waist and pulled off his board shorts. She ran her thumb around unfamiliar territory near the waistband of his underwear.
" We have school." He murmured between kisses. Sadly she broke off the kiss and got up. She gestured to the tiny ensuite her apartment contained.
" Go. I'll get Raph to grab your uniform. Use any towel there." He got up and walked in. She turned and went to see if Raph and Del were still here. Thankfully they were.
" Raph can you go and grab Talons uniform?" She asked ever so nicely.
" No way." He chucked her a set of two keys. " Let ya' self in." She sighed and went back to her room. She could hear the shower running. Talon had closed the door lazily, leavening a small gap of the shower. She peeked through to see Talon in the shower scrubbing his hair. He was facing the wall, which gave her a perfect view of his sculpted ass. She felt herself blush and looked away. She pulled on a baggy t shirt over her bikini bottoms she had pulled on and trudged up the stairs to Talon and Raphael's room. She unlocked the door into a huge mess. Navigating her way through was like navigating a mine field, with such things to dodge as 2 week old stinking socks and moldy sandwiches. After a huge effort she finally made it to Talons room. Searching his draws she found the cleanest pair of underwear and the school shorts and shirt. She locked the door behind her and made her way down the stairs where she bumped into Nathan.
" Hey Maia." He kissed her on the check. " Who's uniform is that? Surely not your guests?" he raised a suspicious eyebrow.
" Ah." she panicked. " No, it's Raphael's. He stayed with Del but was too lazy to get it himself. Worst decision of my life. Even for ten bucks." she laughed and retreated to her room. She returned to find Talon sitting on her bed in only her towel.
" You realize that's mine, right?" she asked.
" Oh, sorry. Here have it back." he started unwrapping the towel from around his waist. Maia quickly adverted her eyes.
" Talon! We're not that far in!" she grabbed her towel and headed for the bathroom. After hoping out she found Talon fully dressed still in her room.
" If you wouldn't mind?" She coughed.
" Sure." Talon simply turned his back to Maia. feeling like she had no choice she dropped her towel and got dressed. She did her hair and make up, packed her school bag and left with Talon. At the doors of the dorm building they stopped.
" I'll go ahead. See you at school." Talon headed off. She waited a good ten minutes before following Talon. When she was almost at school someone called out to her.
" Excuse me, young lady with the blonde hair." Maia look to her right to see an old homeless man beckoning her over. She took a few steps forward toward the man.
" You are Maia, yes?" He asked.
" I am."
" Ah good. I have a delivery for you." he reached behind him. " A beautiful rose." he gave her a perfect white rose.
" Thank you sir." she smiled kindly. She thought the rest of the way to school. It had to be someone from the dorm, everyone that stayed there took the same route to school. The question was which one?
Maia spent the day trying to avoid Nathan as much as she could, but as course that was nearly impossible when you went to the same school and shared a English class with them. She tried to avoid his eyes as he entered the room but no, he came straight over to her.
" Maia babe," he leaned over and kissed her cheek. " I've been looking for you all day."
" Sorry Nathan, must've been just missing each other." She forced a smile.
" Come to my dorm tonight. Isaac is out tonight."
" I'll think about it." Class seemed to drag on forever and Maia darted out of the room to her locker. She was putting away her books and grabbing her basketball gear when she felt someone twirling her hair. She turned around to find exactly who she'd expected, Nathan. He placed his hands on the lockers either side of her head and whispered,
" Come up tonight, or not?" He leaned in and kissed her passionately.
I have to do something, she thought, for Talon. So she did. She shoved his chest as hard as she could and he stumbled back, causing him to bite down hard on her lip. She felt a trickle of blood run down her chin.
" What the hell, Nathan?" She yelled loud enough for everyone to hear. As she hoped they all turned to look at a stunned Nathan and determent Maia.
" Maia-" he tried.
" No Nathan, piss off. You're so damn clingy and so desperate. All you wanted me for is sex you bloody player. You deserve to rot in hell. Stay the hell away from me or I'll rip your throat out." She took a step towards his and slapped him as hard as she could. A satisfying crack echoed around the hall, followed by a series of oh's and ah's. She wiped her lip, grabbed her stuff and walked of to basketball training, feeling better than ever.
