Desire 2

Chapter Four

There I sat, at a nearby table, waiting for Drew to return with our coffees. It was weird. I didn't want to be with anyone besides Austin, yet I felt this extreme attraction and pull towards Drew. Like somethig was dragging me to him and it made me afraid. I didn't like not beig able to control my feelings. I liked being in control of them and I liked knowing about what I feeling but something felt different. It almost felt mezmerizing. 

I looked up to see Drew heading back towards us with two coffees in his hands. 

Once he reached the table, he placed them down and pulled the chair out before he sat down and pulled his in front of him and pushed mine towards me. 

"Thank you," I smiled. 

"It's no problem," he replied, with a grin. 

It was silent for a moment while we sipped our coffees but kept eye contact with each other. 

"So," he began, "Are you a freshman?" 

I swallowed the coffee I had in my mouth and replied. 

"Yeah, it's my first year. I actually just moved on campus yesterday," 

"Woah. You're already all moved in?" he asked, suprised. 

"Well, yeah. I had my brother and his girlfriend help me with most of it so all I really had to do was decorate," 

"You're parents didn't come to help?" he asked. 

I took a deep breath and briefly thought about how I could explain it. 

"No, that, that's kind of impossible," I forced a smile.

"Why?" he asked, all his attention focused on me. 

"Well, my parents actually died a couple years ago," I stated. 

"Shit," he spoke, "I'm so sorry. I should never have said anything," he replied, almost in a panic. 

"It's fine! I mean, it's not like there was any way you could have known," I responded, silence begining to surround us.

"What about your parents?" I asked.

He took a deep breath. 

"Well, my mom lives with her younger boyfriend in San Fransisco and my dad lives in Talahassee with his girlfriend, who's also a lot younger than him. 

"I'm sorry. That's rough," I replied. 

"It's alright. Awkward but alright," he laughed, sipping at his coffee. 

"So, you have a boyfriend?" he asked. 

I stared at him for a moment, smiling at his bluntness. 

"No, I actually just got out of a relationship that didn't end on the best terms. What about you?" 

"Nope, no girlfriend," he replied, with a smirk. 

I smiled. 

"Well, it's getting late so I'm gonna go grab something to eat if you wanna join," he started. 

"Oh, no. I wouldn't wanna mess up your plans or anything," I replied.

"Oh, come on. You wouldn't mess them up. To be honest, you'd probably make them better," he laughed. 

"I don't know," 

"Oh come on!" he laughed, "Please? I want you to come," he spoke. 

"Okay, fine," I laughed, smiling as I did. 

"Okay, come on," he spoke, leading the way.

By the time we finished dinner, it was about 7pm and it was starting to get dark so Drew offered to walk me back to my dorm, which I did not object to. 

We walked side by side towards my dorm and made our way through the people as Drew greeted many of them with high fives and smiles as I walked next to him. 

Once we were passed all of the people, he walked as he began to look at me. 

"What?" I laughed.

"Nothing really," he smiled back, "So, tell me about this relationship that ended badly," 

My eyes became wide, suddenly struggling to find a starting point. 

"Okay, well," I began, "It's actually a really long story. I don't know if we even have time," 

"It's okay if you don't want to talk about it. I've been there. It's a hard place to be at," he responded. 

"Maybe one day," I smiled watching him smile back at me. 

We came to a stop, realizing that we were at my dorm. Drew reached into him pocket pulling out his phone and handing it to me after unlocking it. 

"Here. Put your number in," he smirked. 

I stared for a moment before taking the phone from his hands and handing him mine. 

After we had exchanged numbers, we exchanged glances for a moment before Drew briefly embraced me. 

I felt his chest move slowly as he pressed himself to me and wraped my arms around his back. I could feel him become closer and closer as time went on and closed my eyes as his grip on my waist became tighter. I could feel his breath on my neck and tightened  my hold on his back, grabbing a piece of his t-shirt in my hand. 

He pulled back and looked at me for a moment, suddenly serious and bit his lips while holding eye contact with me. 

I swallowed hard and tried to find the air I was strugggling for. 

His eyes were deep blue, but not too deep. His teeth were perfectly white and straight and the way he looked at someone was enough to make any girl melt and although the only person I wanted was Austin, I couldn't help myself from wanting him to kiss me. 

"Well, I guess I'm gonna go now," I spoke, trying to remove myself from this difficult situation. 

"Yeah. That's probably a good idea," he added, standing inches from me, our faces almost pressed together. 

"Okay," I spoke, remaining in front of him with my eyes still locked on his. 

"I should go then," I added, beginning to step back from him and towards the door to the dorm hallway. 

"Yeah, no you shouldn't," he spoke, gently pulling me by the wrist back into his embrace and pressing his lips to mine. 

I felt the movement of his lips across mine as I wrapped my arms around the back of his neck and his hands found my face. I fell backwards onto a wall beside the dorm entry way as his body moved with mine. 

As I regained control of my actions, I gently pushed him off of me and stood up straight. 

He found his breath and began to smile at me. 

"Sorry," he spoke. 

"It's not your fault or anything," I laughed. 

He smiled at me for a moment before turning around and heading off in the opposite direction, then turned around. 

He licked his lips before speaking, "I'll see you around," 

"Yeah. See you around," I smiled back. 

"I'm looking forward to it," he winked before turning around and heading the other way.
