Putting away my study materials I dash into the bathroom and take a quick shower washing up at the speed of light not even letting the water warm all the way up before I'm rinsing and getting out of the shower. I moisturize my body, brush my teeth, wash and moisturize my face. With about ten minutes until Mekhi arrives I put on my underwear then, I pull on a sweater dress that hugs my body and shows off my curves followed by white leggings, socks and finally my sheep skin boots. I check my hair in the mirror to ensure it's still intact and lightly apply make up to my face. After spraying my favorite perfume and putting on accessories, I take a few selfies and head downstairs to the living room. Just as I reach the bottom step the doorbell is ringing and I know its Mekhi.
"Hey," I say opening the door holding it open for him to come in.
"Hey," he says as his eyes take in my outfit.
"Come in," I say as his eyes are still greedily roaming all over my body. I pat my inner self on the back for wearing this number.
"You look beautiful, baby," he says finally coming.
"Thank you," I say closing the door behind him.
"Are you ready," he asks.
"Yeah, let me grab my purse and jacket," I say leading him to the living room.
I decide to put on my black leather jacket so I go to my room to get it out of my closet and Mekhi watches me the whole way. I fold the jacket over my arm and transfer my wallet and a few other items from my purse to my mini backpack purse. When that's done I make sure my room is tidy before turning off the light and heading back downstairs. Reaching the last step Mekhi is there with his hand out and I take it stepping down.
As soon as both feet touch the floor Mekhi pulls me to him and presses his lips against mine. He kisses me passionately as he uses one hand to hold my lower back pulling me closer to him and releases my hand with the other and holds the back of my head. I wrap both my hands around his neck and kiss him back until we're both breathless. When we finally break apart I smile biting my lower lip seeing his raw need for me flicker in his eyes I pull him close and kiss him once more.
"Are you ready," I ask him.
"Yeah, if we don't leave now, I'm afraid we won't leave," he says shaking his head then taking my jacket from me and helping me put it on.
"Agreed," I say shrugging into my jacket.
"Are you sure you have everything," he asks.
"Yes," I say checking through my bag for my phone, wallet, and keys that I remove to lock up the house.
"Okay, let's go," he says grabbing my hand and we head out of the house turning off lights as we pass through.
At the door I lock both locks and turn on the alarm system. We walk to his car and he unlocks and holds the door open for me, I put my seatbelt on and wait for him. He gets in the car looks at and starts his engine up. Putting on his seatbelt before he pulls off we head toward the campus. He holds my hand and occasionally brings it to his lips causing me to smile as my heart is still fluttering from his kiss.
"So, how are we celebrating," I ask him.
"I wanted to take you to a party on campus…" he says.
"Wanted," I ask.
"Yeah because now I want to take you home," he says looking at me licking his lips.
"We can't do that though," I say to him.
"I know, I know," he says squeezing my hand and shifting slightly in his seat.
"So we're going to party," I ask him.
"Yeah, everyone's expecting me to show up and I wanted you to come with me," he says.
"Aww that's so nice of you," I say to him.
"We don't have to stay long if you don't want to," he says.
"No, no it's your night. I'll stay as long as you want. You played a great game today you deserve to celebrate with your friends. I don't want to monopolize all of your time," I say to him honestly.
"Thank you, but what if I want you to monopolize all of my time," he asks.
"Mekhi! That's not nice speaking of friends we ran into Owen and Nate today," I say to him.
"Oh yeah, how'd it go," he asks with a smirk.
"You already know I don't know why you're pretending," I say to him playfully pouting.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to make sure you guys were going to be okay. Can I do that for you," he asks skillfully.
"Its fine, I guess. You should let me know next time though," I say to him.
"I'm sorry, next time I will definitely let you know," he says sincerely.
"Okay, I forgive you," I say and his lips brush the back of my hand.
"Cool, we're almost here," he says and I look around to see that we pull onto a street of houses.
I assume this is fraternity/sorority row. We park at the end of the long line of cars that's lining the street. He cuts the engine and unbuckles both of our seatbelts. He walks around to my side of the car and opens my door helping me out of the car. He greedily takes in my body with his eyes again before placing his arm around my shoulder. We can hear the music blasting from the house from where we parked. It's going to be a lively party I'm sure. The closer we get to the house we can see the party spilling out onto the lawn and sidewalk. People begin congratulating and welcoming Mekhi the closer we get. As soon as we enter the house someone yells that Mekhi is here and pulls him inside. Not forgetting me he pulls me along as well and I get many stares welcomed, unwelcomed, and unbothered. When the person pulling Mekhi finally let's go he pulls me closer and examines me making sure that I'm okay.
"Are you alright," he asks.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I reply and he places his arm over my shoulder again.
"Congratulations," people start walking up to him echoing.
"Thank you," he says in different variations as people start approaching him wanting to be in his presence.
"Mekhi! I'm so happy for you," a girl shrills as she attempts to throw herself in his arms and he removes his arm from my shoulder to stop her.
"What are you doing Tori," he asks shaking his head.
"What I can't congratulate you," she says sheepishly trying to sound innocent.
"There's nothing wrong with you congratulating me, but you can't throw yourself at me like that," he says to her firmly and placing his arm over my shoulder again.
"Oh, you have a friend with you? Hi, I didn't even see you there," she says to me.
"Hello," I say to her with a straight face.
"I don't think your friend likes me," she says turning to Mekhi reaching out a hand to touch his arm.
"Tori! She's not my friend, she's my woman so stop flirting with me," he says to her firmly.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know you had a girlfriend," she says looking me up and down.
"Now you know, you can go about your business," he says to her with a serious expression.
"Fine, I'll go. You can't push me away forever," she says as she turns on her heel and walks away.
"I'm sorry about that baby," he says in my ear.
"What was that about," I say barely fazed by her presence.
"A crazy girl who is determined to be more than just friends with me," he says with a half-smile.
"Hmm, you have a lot of those around here," I say to him.
"It doesn't matter because they don't matter to me. Let's keep walking," he says pulling me deeper into the house.
As we walk through the house we're offered cups that we politely decline. When Mekhi finally comes across a few of his team mates and friends we stop there. He protectively wraps his arm around my shoulder causing the guys to notice my presence.
"Hey gorgeous, what are you doing with this bum," one guy says holding out his hand.
"Hello," I say shaking his hand and ignoring his question.
"Ignore him baby, he's an ass," Mekhi says and I nod my head.
"Don't do that to me man, my name is Parker," he says and I realize that he's on the team.
"My name is Lena," I respond to him.
"That's beautiful…Ya'll come say hi to Mekhi's lady Lena," he says turning around and yelling out to the other guys. I look at Mekhi and he looks slightly annoyed.
"How are you doing," different guys come and introduce themselves to me until the last three come in from the opposite direction and all give me hugs.
"Hey beautiful," Cameron says first followed by Nate and Owen.
"Hey guys," I say to them feeling a little more comfortable.
"You know Tori's crazy ass is here right," Cameron says looking at Mekhi.
"Yeah, I know we already ran into her," Mekhi answers.
"Oh yeah, how'd that go," Owen asks looking between me and Mekhi.
"It just went, I'm not wasting my time deal with her. I told her to go about her business," Mekhi says shrugging his shoulders.
"What'd you think, Ms. Lady," Owen asks.
"I don't know, he has a lot of those crazies chasing after him," I say nonchalantly.
"You handled that better than I expected," Owen says.
"Bro you saw the same video that the rest of us did. There's no doubt in my mind that this quiet little lady wouldn't put Tori on her ass," Nate says.
"Yeah, that's true. Are you a trained fighter," Owen asks.
"Yeah, she is," Cameron says before I could answer and I just shrug my shoulders.
"Alright, you guys can stop talking about my woman," Mekhi says possessively.
"Fine, are you guys going to drink something," Cameron asks.
"Probably not," Mekhi says looking at me.
"It's fine if we have one drink," I say to him with a smile not wanting to be a party pooper.
"Alright, just one," Mekhi says firmly and Nate gives us two cups of beer.
"Thank you," I say taking my cup from him and taking a sip of beer.
"You don't have to drink it if you don't want to," Mekhi says to me.
"It's fine, here help me take off my jacket," I say handing my cup to a nearby Owen.
"Okay," he says handing his cup over as well and helps me with my jacket.
"Thank you," I say placing my bag back on my back and reaching for my jacket and cup.
"I'll hold this," Mekhi says draping my jacket over his arm as his eyes roam over my body.
"I think we should get going," Owen says noticing Mekhi's greedy eyes covet my body.
"Let's go," Mekhi says grabbing my free hand with his and leading me towards the sound of music.
When we get to where the music is playing Mekhi drains his cup and wraps his arms around me while holding my jacket in his hand. Feeling the music as I sip my beer I move my body around while in his embrace and he smiles. I finish my beer before the next song comes on. After placing my cup in a nearby trash bag I go back to Mekhi's embrace and wrap my hands around his neck and start dancing again. He pulls me closer and moves his body with mine. When the DJ realizes that Mekhi is there he shouts him out over the microphone and everyone gives a big congratulations. Mekhi graciously thanks him, but wave off the people beginning to crowd our space that we were enjoying just a moment ago. Picking up Mekhi's actions the DJ let's everyone know that Mekhi wants to be left alone with his girl. Blushing I hug him close and he pulls me even closer giving the DJ a thumbs up.
"Come on baby, dance with me," he leans down and says in my ear.
"Okay," I say looking up at him with a smile.
The DJ plays some Reggae and I move my body like a snake winding my hips, Mekhi turns me around and places one hand on my belly and runs the other down my spine straight to my behind. He pulls me close and I continue dancing moving my body against his letting the music take over me. As the songs change so does my rhythm and Mekhi lets me dance never letting go of me. Then he changes pace and play a slow song which Mekhi turns me around placing both hands on my lower back pulling me close. I look up at him with a smile and leans down and kiss…right in front of all these people! Recovering from the shock of his public affection I return his slow and passionate kiss. Still rocking side to side we continue to kiss. When he's taken all that I am willing to give in this situation he kisses my forehead.
"Let's get ready to leave," he says in my ear.
"Are you sure you don't want to stay a little bit longer," I ask him and he gives me a look burning with desire.
"Not really," he says shaking his head.
"Let's stay a little while longer, then we can go wherever you want," I say promising him.
"Okay," he says and he twirls me around.
We dance for a little while longer as the small amount of alcohol works itself through my body before making our way back through the house. Mekhi chats with his friends and never lets me out of his reach. I stay in his embrace and ignore his chats with his friends. I take out my phone and take a few selfies, in one of them Mekhi plants a kiss on my cheek. I shake my head as I pick which ones to upload to my social media account. A few more girls attempt to approach Mekhi but they don't succeed as his demeanor remains the same towards them allowing no one the room or time to disrespect me in his presence. This creates evil looks and stares for me, but I can handle it. When he decides that he's finally had enough he bids farewell to everyone and begin leading me to the door. Before stepping outside he helps me put my jacket on and we walk out the door. After saying goodbye to the people outside the house Mekhi picks me up and spins me around.
"Hey," I protest giggling.
"Sorry, baby. I'm just happy," he says smiling.
"Okay, then it's fine," I say and he spins me around once more before putting me down and leading me to the car.
"Did you enjoy yourself," he asks me as he starts up the engine.
"I did. It was fun," I say to him honestly.
"Do you want to go back home," he asks me.
"Not really, let's grab something to eat," I say.
"Okay," he says smiling widely.
We drive off campus to a pizza place that serves pizza by the slice. He orders a whole pizza and drinks for us. We take the order to go and go back to his car.
"Do you want to come back to my place," he asks.
"Sure, that's fine," I say not wanting the night to end.
"Okay," he says and head towards the highway.
