could not avoid him forever. He answered right away. “Hey gorgeous, where ya been?” he asked.
“Hey, studying. These professors are trying to kill me.”
“I hear ya. So I talked to Tim today,” he said. Oh, crap.
Play stupid, Sam. “Oh yeah? How is he?”
“Ok. I guess him and Stacy broke up. He said they just didn’t want the same things and it wasn’t fair to continue with the relationship if they didn’t agree on the major things.”
“Aw, that’s too bad. She’s a nice girl.” No idea what to say. “So I guess that means our double date is off, huh?”
He laughed. “I think so. But we’re still on, right?”
“You know it. I can’t wait.” It was true. I could not wait. I just needed a hug and to smell him. His smell was intoxicating. “Actually, what are you doing now?”
“Now? Not studying for my Bio test.”
“Do you want to come over?” I did not want to wait until tomorrow. I needed to see him now. I needed him to push Tim’s kiss out of my head.
“Well, that depends…”
“On…?”
“Who is home?” Weird, it had never mattered before.
“Um, Trinity is at Derek’s and Miranda and Kiley are somewhere. I never know with those two.”
“Ok, be there in a few minutes.” That was the best part of living on campus… the boyfriend was literally minutes away at all times.
I freshened up a bit in the three minutes I had before he would show up. I glanced around the townhouse, wow we were slobs. Eh, he had seen it messy before. I ran over to my room and looked around. Ok, not too bad, it had definitely been much worse. There was at least sitting room on the bed. I heard a knock just as I was throwing my clothes in the laundry basket to get them off the floor.
When I opened the door, Danny was standing there with a bottle of wine. “Hey, handsome.”
“Hey,” he gave me a kiss on the cheek as he walked in the door.
I pointed to the wine “What’s the occasion?”
“Nothing, I just thought it would be nice.” He headed to the fridge to keep it chilled. “I thought it would go nice with your Oreos. Wow, you women need to go food shopping.”
“Yeah yeah. This woman also needs to find herself a job. The savings was definitely depleted. It would be great if the internship was paid.”
“Yeah tell me about it. If I didn’t work in Student Services I’d be screwed.” He was rummaging around the kitchen. “Don’t you have any wine glasses?”
I thought for a moment. “Yeah, they should be in the cabinet above the fridge. Generally, we buy boxed wine and it’s ok to drink that out of a plastic cup.”
“Classy,” he joked.
“Hey, what can I say?” I took the wine back out of the fridge and took the glasses he had gotten out of the cabinet. “Um, small problem.”
“What’s that?”
“I don’t suppose you have a corkscrew?”
“Shoot, really?” He looked at the bottle. “You don’t have one?” he asked.
“Danny, boxed wine. No bottle, no cork. And Captain Morgan is a screw top.”
“Ok then… umm…” He looked around for something to open it with.
“Why don’t we save it for next time?” I suggested. “I’ll buy a corkscrew.” I put
