Because of You

Because of You (5)

Wow, this chapter was sorta hard to write... Especially considering the fact that it was at around... Midnight last night [or technically this morning] when I finished... Not good for a Monday. Well, here it is!!

Chapter 5:

I followed after Kyle across the campus, the warm gust whipping my hair around my face. Entering the guys' dorms, I took soft steps down the hall, making as little noise as possible. Kyle, on the contrary, was stomping through the dark hallway as if he owned the place.

"Kyle," I hissed, "are you TRYING to get me caught?!"

"Issa, if guys saw me taking you to my room, they would WORSHIP me," he said with a smirk over his shoulder.

I opened my mouth to retort, but a door creaked open behind me stopped my mouth from running. I ran up to Kyle and hid my face in his back, hoping to hide the fact I was there.

"Ey, Kyle!!" a loud voice called to us. Well, that defeated my plan.

The thumping of feet against the carpeted floor made my heart pump in fear.

"Oh, God. I'm gonna get caught!!" I hissed in Kyle's ear.

"Don't worry, it's only-"

Kyle was cut off by a guy I assumed to be his friend slowing to a walk alongside us.

"Ky, what's up?" Kyle's friend greeted with a smile. Had he noticed me?

"Hey-"

"Who's your friend?" Kyle's friend interrupted, taking a long look at me. His eyebrows went up in pleasure, obviously checking me out.

"A picture would last longer," I said with a glare, earning a stifled laugh from Kyle.

"Attitude, I see... I like it," Kyle's friend smiled a dirty smile, which I rolled my eyes to.

I spat out, "I'm going out with, Kyle, whatever-your-name-is. So you can back off now, or I can kick your face in right here. Your choice."

"Fiesty... I-"

"Say you like it again, and you won't be able to say anything," I threatened.

"You're all bluff," he scoffed.

"WELL, we gotta go now. See ya sometime," Kyle started pulling me away, adding "Hopefully, not anytime soon," under his breath.

Kyle unlocked his dorm at the end of the hall, pushing me in. Giggles erupted from the room to my left, and I knew what kind of fun those people were having.

"Don't mind my roommate. He's a player..." Kyle mumbled, pulling me to the other room. He slammed the door behind me, giving us some, but limited, privacy.

His bed was right under the window, having a black comforter with a matching pillowcase. Shelves lined his walls, stocked with football trophies and picture frames. One picture was a close-up of him and Katrina smiling at the camera. A small grin cracked across my face, happiness flowing through my veins.

"Issa, what's so- Oh, you saw that..." Kyle said embarrassedly.

"Don't be embarrassed... You two are really cute!" I assured him with a smile.

"That's what alotta people say," Kyle smirked.

"Whatever... Do you have anything I can change into?" I asked to change the subject.

"Why?"

"You don't think I would sleep in this awesome shirt, do you?" I said, pointing down to my INTELLECTUAL BADASS shirt.

Kyle threw me a large black t-shirt and a pair of red and black basketball shorts, pointing the way to the bathroom. He said there was an extra toothbrush in the cabinet and closed the door. I quickly changed, the t-shirt hanging loosely around my torso, and the drawstrings on the shorts tied tight so they would stay around my waist. I dug through the cabinet to find that extra toothbrush and a comb. I pulled both out, and thoroughly brushed my teeth before pulling the comb through my thick hair.

I stepped back into Kyle's room to see him pulling off his shirt, already in just his boxers. His perfectly tanned skin just made me want to melt into his arms... His biceps rippled, and as the shirt went up, I marveled at his toned six-pack. Not only is my man FIIINE, he has an awesome personality... Minus being a douche sometimes.

"Like what you see?" Kyle's voice brought me out of my thoughts.

"Hell yeah, I do!!" I exclaimed, running up to his waiting arms. I enjoyed the warmth radiating from his skin, and I snuggled in closer.

He pulled us to his bed, and gently laid me down, sliding in nextto me and pulling the covers up to my chin. His arms found their way around my waist, pulling me into his smooth, bare chest. I rested my head in the crook of his neck, and I felt his own head lay on my hair.

"Good night, Issa," Kyle whispered in my ear. I kissed his neck as my own good night, and I quickly fell asleep.

*~*~*~*

I woke up to loud voices and a crash. I rushed out to the main part of the dorm to see Kyle on top of another guy with his fist raised to slam down into his face.

"Kyle, stop!!" I cried out, grabbing his raised fist and tried to hold him back.

"Issa, let-"

"ISSA?! You screwed Issa?!?" the guy called out from beneath Kyle.

"WHAT?!"

"Issa, let go!! I can't let him say-"

"Kyle, just wait!!" the guy pleaded.

"YOU SHUT THE F-"

"Kyle... Kyle, wait," I said, still holding him back. He wrenched his arm from my weakening grip and sat back on one of the reclining chairs in the room. The guy sat in the other chair a few feet away from Kyle.

"Now WHAT is this about?" I annoyedly asked, my hands going to my hips.

"Kyle was screwin' you and I video taped it. He freaked and came after me like-"

"Shut the hell up!! I wasn't-"

"Yeah, you were!!"

"Ya'll sound like five-year olds..." I sighed to myself, then continuing, "Well, whatever-your-name-is, we weren't get that fact through whatever the hell makes you function!! I really don't give a crap about anything else that comes out of your mouth, but get this striaght: I will kick your face in so far that you'll be seein' out the back of yo' head!!"

"You're all-"

"Bluff?? We'll see how much I'm bluffin' when they're pullin' my foot from your ass!!" I yelled, starting towards him with clenched fists. Kyle quickly stood, pulling my arm to stop me from walking any further.

"Issa, you're the one that needs to calm down now..." he whispered soothingly, stroking my hair.

"I... I should go," I muttered, pulling away from Kyle's warmth to retrieve my clothes from his room. I didn't bother to wear them, so I walked out in the clothes Kyle had lent me. As I walked down the hall, guys whistled at me and called out words that shouldn't be repeated... Reputation=ruined.
