The College Hook Up

Chapter Two

"You don't have to carry me." I slurred my words as Elliot carried me in his arms. He smelt amazing and I buried my face into his neck.
"I don't mind." He said wrapping his arms tightly around me.
"I use to have a huge crush on you." I blurted.
"Oh yeah?" He asked me finally reaching the top of the stairs.
"Yeah." I nodded. "I saw the way you were looking at me."
"What way was that?" He asked me with a grin laying me down in my bed.
"Like you wanted to kiss me." I smiled closing my eyes.
"Kiss you?" He laughed. I felt his eyes burn holes into me.
"And do other things." I said looking at him. I grasped his hand and pulled him down on top of me. God was he sexy.
"Oh yeah?" He asked me. His one hand was on my side while the other was on my face.
"Yeah." I leaned up my lips inches away from his. I looked up at him and then at his lips.  I instantly looked away from him.
"What's wrong, Amara?" He asked me getting off and laying next to me.
"Stay." I said, "just till I fall asleep. "
"Okay." He nodded taking his shirt off. He wrapped his arm around my waist.
He Put his head into my neck and I felt his soft breaths into my neck. "You're so beautiful."
          I closed my eyes and almost instantly feel asleep.

I woke up to someone's right arms around me. The sun shown through the window and I rolled. Elliot was laying in bed with me and he didn't move. I tried to think about what happened the night before and I last thing I remembered was Elliot taking a body shot off me. I moaned and placed my hand on my head as it throbbed.
Elliot's eyes flickered open and a smile was on his face, "Good morning, Amara."
"Good morning." I smiled.
" I'm not complaining. If I could wake up next to you every day I totally would." He flirted.
"Oh?" I asked placing my hand on his bare chest.
Elliot looked down at me hand then up at me. I bit my lip and smiled at him. He ran his hand in his hair and also bit his lip.
         He placed a soft kiss on the corner of my mouth. When he pulled away, we looked at each other. I closed my eyes taking in his scent. It was a nice smell of cigarettes and pine. I opened my eyes and pulled him towards me, placing my lips on his again. He deepened the kiss and the
"Shit." He swore and got out of bed.
"What?" I asked him as I watched his frantically look for his shirt.
"We can't do that." He said slipping his shirt on.
"Do what?" I questioned not understanding.
"Sleep together." He closed his eyes, "if your brother was to find out he would kill me."
"He won't." I say, as I sit up a pain shot through my head.
Elliot looked at me, sideways smiled, then left the room.
I moaned falling back onto my bed. I closed my eyes as I heard the door open again.
"Elliot, I'm not in the mood." I said the opening my eyes.
Mila stood there with a glass of water and Tylenol, "I brought you some stuff."
"Thanks." I smiled and sat up. I grabbed the cup for her and I took the medicine.
"So tell me about Elliot and you." She sat with her legs crossed.
"Where do I start." I laughed, "well he is my best friend brother and we have know each other since I was in the 3rd grade. I guess I have always had a crush on him for a long ass time. But I guess it never went away. He went to college and I haven't seen him in 2 years."
"How did you get here?" She asked me.
"So someone put a thing up saying they needed a 4th roommate but I didn't realize it was a guys thing. The school already approved my stay for 2 semesters. So I am kinda stuck here." I said sipping my water again.
"So how do you feel about Elliot now?" She asked me.
"I... I don't know." I looked at my hands.
I honestly had no idea how I felt about Elliot. Last night when I was drinking and Elliot did a body shot off me I felt.... I felt something. I don't know if it was lust or what it was.
"Well, Roman looks like he likes you." She noted. "Plus it's college, just play the field till you know what you want.
"Wouldn't that make me a slut?" I asked her.
"It's college. Every girl is a slut." She smiled getting off the bed. "Do you want to see if Elliot likes you?"
"What do you mean?"
She walked over to my closet. She tossed me an outfit. "Put this on and put your hair up." She smiled, "I'll be down stairs."
As she left I looked over the outfit she laid out to me. I put it on and put my hair in a high pony tail. I felt like I looked ridiculous. But I shrugged and walked down stairs. Mila was curled up on the couch with Payton. She gave me a thumbs up and pointed towards the kitchen. I nodded looking my outfit over. I wore knee high socks, booty shorts, and a tight white tank top.
I walked into the kitchen and I noticed Roman and Elliot were leaning against the counter.
Elliot's eyes locked into mine. His face was starting to get red. I smiled and then looked at Roman. He looked at me with a grin.
I stood on my tippy toes and reached into the cupboard for a cup. I smiled at them then filled the cup with juice.
"How did you sleep?" Roman questioned looking me over.
Elliot punched Roman's arm.
"It was good." I smiled, "any plans for today?"
"Not yet. That's what we were talking about. But do you have any ideas?" Roman said.
Elliot looked at me. I could see the anger creeping on his face.
"Well, we can go on a hike or spend the day at the beach." I said.
"A day at the beach sounds fun." Mila said as she tugged Payton with her.
