Trouble “Alright guys it’s getting late and I’m tired” Rebecca explains as she kicks us out of her room. We get things together and begin to walk out. I as we walk out into the hall I ask Christy if I could walk her to her room. She replies with “You’re trouble!” I smile and say “No its late and I want to make sure you get to your dorm safely.” She smiles and grabs my hand as we walk out into the cold crisp snow. I hold her hand close to my body pulling her close to me as we walked through the dark to her building. We reach the top of the hill where I stopped her and pulled her close by her jacket and looked at her and smiled. She looked at me undeceive but curiously as I slowly came closer to her face and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around me and melted into me. We kissed there on the top of that hill as the cold snow seemed to melt around us. A few minutes later are lips separated and she smiles and says “I told you you were trouble.” As we walk to the front of her dorm hall. Wanting to feel her lips close to mine I lean in to kiss her again. As were standing there embracing each other two kids walk out of the dorm and pass by. She panics pulling away saying “Oh my God someone’s coming!” I assure her that no one could tell that I was a girl since I was wearing a big puffy snow coat, sweat pants and a hat. Feeling uncomfortable she insists that she go to her room. I ask her if I could walk her to her room and she laughs telling me we both know that’s not a good idea. I agree and kiss her goodnight and walk out the exit door.
“Yvette! Remember that girl in my class that I told you about? I just left her dorm! We made out and I think she’s into me.” I told my friend Yvette.
“Taylor you know how straight girls are. You need to be careful. Take things slow! Call me tomorrow and let me know what happens.” She says.
I got back to my room and laid in bed thinking about every second of the last 30 minutes. The feeling that came over me was a mix of emotions. I was excited because I wanted to see where things were going to go, nervous because I wasn’t sure how she felt, and victorious because I had made out with this girl who claimed to want nothing to do with another girl. I tossed and turned trying to settle the emotions that kept me awake.
The next morning I strutted down the hall feeling great as I walked into Nutrition. “Hey Cat! Good Morning Allan! Hi Christy.” I said. She looked at me with fear in her eyes as if I were going to read her secret diary in front of the class. But I knew she was going to be a hot mess that morning. I know if I tossed and turned so much the night before than she must have gotten no sleep. I went through the day as if nothing happened.
The following day in Menu Development the class was asked to work in groups for their menus project. We were given directions and told to work together to help each other on our concepts. I turned around to Christy and asked her if she wanted to come over to work on our menus project together. And she said yes! The crowd went wild… in my head. That afternoon I raced back to my room and made sure everything looked perfect. Luckily my roommate was gone for the afternoon. I freshened up and shortly after I heard a knock at my door. My heart raced, I started to sweat, my voice cracked, “Come in!” I yelled.
There she was as she smiled I came over to give her a hug. “No funny business this time! We are going to work on our project and that’s it!” She explained. I shrugged and said “Okay.” We sat down and started looking up information for the project. She was actually pretty smart and had a good concept. For the next few days Christy came over to my room every day to work on our projects. But one day while we were working while listening to music, I started to play with her hand while we were sitting on my bed. I began to make little circle in her palm in the rhythm to MGMT’s ‘Electric Feel’ as I smiled and into her eyes. She smiled and we started to kiss. Her lips pressed against mine and our hands embracing each other. I slowly laid her back and kept kissing her smoothing her hair back touching her gently. We kissed to the beat of that song for what felt like hours and laid there next to each other smiling. She shied away smiling and looked at the wall. “You’re Trouble” she said as I laughed
