As I walked away from Melanie's dorm I could not fight the dorkish grin on my face. I had not planned to kiss her but when we were standing there and I looked down at her I couldn't help myself. The kiss wasn't like any that I have had before. Usually when I kissed a girl it was rushed and heated and the end game was always sex. This kiss had been different, it was sweet and passionate.

It is probably a good thing that I was never going to see her again, I didn't need that kind of drama in my life. Between football, school and the house I was plenty busy, and the careless hookups at parties are all I need. And anyway, she was not at all my type. I had never talked to a girl like her, probably because the kind of girls that came to our parties were pretty much the exact opposite.

I thought back to her distaste for my fraternity and fraternity guys in general. I had lied, telling her I wasn't one of those guys she seemed to hate so much, when in fact I was exactly like the players she described.

I tried to shake any thoughts of her, deciding that tonight was simply an isolated incident and walked into my frat house to find music blaring and people everywhere. There were kegs in the living room, and red solo cups littered the floors. Our pledges are going to have a hell of a time cleaning this up tomorrow.

I grabbed a cup of beer from the keg and then began to make my rounds, getting a hello from almost everyone at the party. Eventually, I found Jack, Andrew, and Caleb talking and drinking by the beer pong table. As I approached, Jack noticed me and gave me a head nod as if to say hey. "How's it been?" I asked referring to the party.

"Dude you missed it, some drunk chick got up on this table and flashed the whole party. It was fucking hilarious." He laughed shaking his head. "Although now that you are back I am sure you won't have a problem getting a girl to show you her tits."

Just as the crude comment came out of his mouth a group of girls walked by. I smirked at the guys and nodded my head toward the girls. "I'm going for the blonde in the middle," I declared right before I made my way over to her.

Her low cut crop top hugged her body, making her curves look sexy but leaving little to the imagination. "Hey ladies, how are you doing tonight." I greeted, earning a giggle from the girls. That was usually the type of reaction I got from girls. "Do you mind if I borrow your friend of a dance?" I asked, holding my hand out to the blonde.

The girls looked slightly disappointed that I had not come to talk to them, but let me take their friend over to the dance floor. I pulled her close as she started to shake her hips, grinding up against me. She was a pro at this, and my body was giving her the exact reaction she was looking for.

After a song, I felt her get up on her tip toes to whisper in my ear, "Why don't we take this upstairs?" That was the only incentive I needed, leading her toward the stairs and my bedroom. Being the president of the frat had its perks, like my own bedroom.

As soon as I opened the door to my bedroom she was all over me, kissing my neck and working to get off my sweatshirt. Not that I was complaining of course, it was always easier when they don't want to talk. Hell I didn't even know her name but that was fine with me.

As I her lips made their way back up to mine, I was reminded of my kiss with Melanie earlier that night. After the feeling of her innocent kiss, this one felt worthless. I quickly shook the feeling and got back to focusing on the girl currently pushing me onto my bed.

"Dude I am starved," I groaned as I sat down at the breakfast bar in our kitchen. Last night's girl had definitely given me a workout before I kicked her out of my room in the early hours of the morning.

"That girl worked you hard last night, huh?" Andrew joked as he passed me a plate of eggs made by the house chef. I chuckled, "Yeah she was definitely a wild one."

"Do you even remember her name bro?" Caleb asked as he took the seat next to mine. I just shook my head, my mouth too full to actually answer him. "Of course you don't. Must be nice to be you." He was right, it was nice to be me.

"Yeah it usually is, but today not so much. I have to go back to the library to finish that stupid paper." I had completely forgotten about the paper after I saw Melanie. Maybe she will be there again today, I wouldn't mind her company again.

"I thought you finished that shit last night, that's why you couldn't come to the party," Caleb questioned. "Yeah well I got distracted watching Netflix so I got nothing done," I lied.

For some reason I felt like I had to keep my night with Mel a secret from the guys. They wouldn't understand why I talked to her and especially not why I kissed her like I did. Hell even I didn't understand it, so I decided to keep it to myself. But I was secretly wishing I would show up to the library again today to find her curled up reading one of her books.
