"I cannot wait until June 14th.." Will said breathlessly against my neck as he planted kisses from my lips, down to my collarbone, and back up. I smiled and allowed my eyes to roll back and let out a loud breath, but quickly pushed him off when I heard a knock on the door. Will's composure completely changed once his roommate Gary walked in with a large pizza pie and a greasy bag full of something gross.
"Dammit Gary, why do you always have to be in here?" Will yelled, obviously annoyed at his roommate who hardly ever left their dorm except for the occasional class, pizza and laundry, which he did maybe once a month. Gary was the roommate from hell, he smelt like B.O. and grease literally all the time and refused to leave whenever Will and I wanted to be alone. He also had a rep for walking in on us, not saying sorry, and walking over to his TV to play video games...three feet away.
Like usual, he didn't say anything to Will and just sat down in his chair and took out the controller to play some weird dragon video game. I groaned and rolled over to hide behind Will's body as I put my shirt back on.
"No its fine, I should probably finish packing up my things or else I might miss my flight in the morning." I said before kissing him quickly. "Come by my room around 9?" I smiled as I placed my palm on the back of his neck like I always did, I loved being able to feel his neck muscle tense up. He smiled up at me, still sitting on his bed, and nodded his head and kissed me again, trying to persuade me to stay and forget about the elephant in the room, I'll tell you I was very tempted but I really did have to finish packing up my room.
I placed my hands on Will's chest and pushed myself away softly and whispered in his ear "later.." then got up and walked over to the door.
"See you Gary." No response as expected, but I didn't care I knew I would never actually see Gary again, Will was moving into an apartment next year with a couple of his friends off campus. I smiled as I walked down the hallway and outside, passing dittos on the walls reminding students to clean their dorms or else they'll have to pay a fine, trying to persuade people to take summer classes, and some end-of-the-year frat party.
Looking back at my freshman year of college, I realized I had no regrets. I enjoyed everything I had done here in just a year, and couldn't wait to come back in the fall to add on more fun and get closer and closer to graduating. Making so many great friends in my building and in my classes sounded like something that would take more than just a year to happen before I came here, but I realized this was what college was about. Sure the studying and learning was a huge part of going to college, but making friends and realizing who you actually are is something I could have never imagined would be this amazing had I not come here. Finding who I am without trying to change myself for him was something I never realize I needed. I thought who he wanted me to be was who I wanted to be and who I was, but I was so wrong.
Persuading my roommate and best friend Callie to come with me to the gym some early morning in September turned out to be my way of relieving stress and meeting Will. I first saw him one day doing triceps dips while I jogged on the treadmill and I swear he must have caught me staring four times in those twenty minutes, but I didn't care because I had this new rule for myself to not be so worried about what others were thinking of me and instead do whatever the hell I felt.
After I looked down to check my text messages, he wasn't there anymore so I figured I would see him again sometime around campus where I would go up to him and start talking. After Callie and I were done, we went to the bookstore to grab a cup of coffee before going back to our dorm to shower and go to class where we ended up seeing Will there with his friend getting a cup of coffee too.
Ever since then he's been my gym partner and boyfriend, although I still like to look at him while he works out.
As I was unlocking the door to my dorm, I realized I was the only one left in my dorm room. Both my roommates, Callie and Alexis left earlier today with their parents, so I had the small freshman dorm to myself. Although it would've probably made me happy a few months ago to have this space to myself, right now I didn't want to be alone. I was worried about going home after all these months away having the time of my life, and I just wanted to have one last night out before I left even though I knew it wouldn't happen.
I jumped and landed on my bed, flat on my stomach and let out an exhausted sigh. I had to pack up a lot of stuff to go home, my flight left at 8 am tomorrow but Will had promised to drive me to the airport at 4:30 in the morning. I looked at my alarm clock on my desk which read 8:15 pm, I had forty five minutes to finish packing so I could actually enjoy my last night with Will for another month when he was coming to visit me for my birthday weekend.
Thinking about it, I did miss being home with my brothers and parents and being able to not worry about that paper due tomorrow or saving enough meals for the rest of the semester. Oh man, I couldn't wait to have my Dad's french toast tomorrow, although I'll probably be getting home around four in the afternoon.
I got up and took out my suitcase to pack the rest of my clothes in, most of my actual belongings were shipped home three days ago so I wouldn't have to live in my Mother's clothing for the first few days I was home, so packing should be quicker than I thought.
After I was about halfway done packing, Will knocked on my door with a bottle of cheap grocery story wine. I laughed and pulled him inside before my RA could notice him spending the night and call me out on it.
"Thought I'd bring something expensive for us to enjoy for tonight's festivities." Will joked as he pulled a bottle opener out of his pocket. I laughed as he pulled the cork out and poured wine into the only cups I had in my room, clear plastic ones I used for water. We both took a sip and tried to pull it off as if it were good wine.
"Mmm, so..." I struggled to find the right word to describe it, "affordable." Will laughed and kissed my forehead.
"I was going to say shitty, but that works too." Chuckling, Will looked around the room and faked guilt, "Oh no, it looks like I came too late to help you pack your things, what a bummer. Some boyfriend I am." I playfully slapped his arm.
"Oh shut up, if I had asked you to help me pack up we both know you would find something that made you feel so 'loving and turned on' and we wouldn't accomplish anything."
"Now that's where you're wrong, we would get too much accomplished." He said with a devilish grin making me laugh out loud.
"That doesn't even make sense." I told him, pouring us both another 'glass' off wine.
"You make me lose my sense." He said before gulping down a huge gulp of wine.
"Wow, have you been watching romantic movies or something because that line was almost too cheesy althought it still made little sense." I giggled as Will's hand lightly brushed my thigh, tickling me. I could feel the small amount of wine I consumed warming me up a little and placed my hand on top of Will's following his hand go up my leg.
I watched as Will's gaze turned into a trance as he looked into my eyes, he had a small smile on his face and I knew he was going to say it. He'd told me he loved me a few months ago, but I couldn't say it back. I felt so bad because I knew I was starting to fall in love with him, and the look on his face as he realized I wasn't going t to say it back broke my heart. But things have changed since that night a few months ago, and I knew I was in love with him and I think he knew but he was waiting for me to tell him.
Looking into his eyes I felt so special, Will always made sure I was laughing when we were together and knowing he cared so much made me feel so warm inside, and not because of the wine.
"Will, I love you so much." I told him as I brushed the small piece of hair that fell on to his forehead.
"I love you too." He said before pulling me in for a kiss which would be the beginning of the end of the night.
