Kelsey didn't come back to the dorm for two days. She does that when she was with a boyfriend. She checked in with Julie every day just to let her know where she was. Usually, she'd stay with the guy for days, fucked his brains out until she was bored fucking him and she'd come back to the dorm to complain about how bored she was and then went back to the guy to fuck him some more.
Julie was used to the routine, she was glad she was a professional loner. She would drown herself in books and completely lost track of time whenever Kelsey went on her voyage. She never felt lonely without her roommate, and when Kelsey's back, she would take a break from her reading to listen to her over the top sexcapade with the 'oh so boring boyfriend' just to see her gone again in a few days. Rarely there was a boyfriend that didn't bore her, those who can keep her satisfied in bed were the ones that can keep her longest. And that seemed to be the case with Nathan.
Kelsey blew out a cloud of smoke from her cigarette that she occasionally had after sex. There was something pleasurable about the tobacco smell in her mouth and the puff of thick smoke in and out of her lungs. She laid on Nathan's bed naked, tangled in the white linen as she filled the room with the mist of Marlboro nicotine and tar while relishing the thought of how satisfied she was just a few minutes earlier.
Nathan was an excellent lover, his lean and toned body was strong enough to pin her down and flipped her over and under, but not too big that it was overwhelming her like the jocks that she usually dated. His touches were smooth and arousing her senses, his chef's hands were definitely not just good enough for the kitchen, it was good enough to keep her begging him to fondle her in every way he could.
A faint smile curved on her lips, if only Nathan was not such a serious guy off the bed, he would've made the perfect boyfriend that she might consider to keep for a long term relationship. She wondered if someone like Nathan would ever settle to be a 'fuck buddy' if she ever fell ill on courting him. But he was good enough for now, after all, she can smell the breakfast he was making for her right outside the door. And she had never dated anyone who could do that before.
She put on his shirt that was lying around on the bedroom floor and got out of the room. His sweat pants were dangling just below his waist without a shirt, his V-shaped back looked even sexier as he was flipping breakfast on one pan and sautéing vegetables on the other. She came over to kiss him.
"Hmm ... you've been smoking," he commented, it was not his favorite taste.
"Sorry ... sometimes after an extraordinary orgasm, I like to have a few puffs," Kelsey said in her defense.
He looked over to her with piercing eyes, "We can have a few more of those after breakfast," he said with a suggestive tone. Kelsey bit her lower lip, she was already thinking about it even before she got off the bed.
Nathan plated the bacon and eggs with the sautéed vegetables on the side, he added his special tartar sauce and a piece of sourdough to go with everything. "Juice or milk?" he offered.
"Juice ... no dairy, remember?" she was particular with her diet. "And you can have the bacon," she added.
"More for me," he was more than happy to take them. They sat on the stool by the kitchen island and started digging in. It was a very simple breakfast but there was something very special in the taste that she couldn't pinpoint what it was.
"Oh my God ... this tastes so good," she praised him. Nathan responded with a simple smile, he heard it thousands of times before.
"I was talking to Julie the other night ... she mentioned about an internship at the end of the semester, have you figured out where you wanted to take your internship yet?" he started the conversation, hoping she hadn't already picked out a company yet.
Kelsey rolled her eyes, "Oh have I? I won't be taking the internship at least until next year, I still have two more semesters to catch up before I'm eligible for that," she explained.
"Oh ..." he sounded disappointed.
"Why? Why'd you ask?" she was curious about his tone.
"I was thinking ... since I'm recruiting next month, maybe you can do the internship at my place in Bhorma ... I could use a clever head to help me out with the setup and you can learn a lot from the business point of view."
Kelsey's eyes sparkled, "That sounds wonderful!! But I won't be taking any internship credit until next year ... I'm sure Julie would love to take the post if you'd offer her," she suggested.
Nathan seemed unsure, he was thinking he could spend more time with Kelsey if she had been the one to take the post. After seeing her real daily routines, and her night outs, it was not sitting well with him if he had to leave her for a long period of time.
"Julie is a straight-A student, have I mentioned that before? Companies would be lining up to take her as an intern, she'll probably get job offers before she graduates ... she would be the best intern you'll ever have for your company, I can guarantee that" she told him with confidence.
"I'm sure she will," his tone was unenthusiastic.
He was confused by the impression he got from their first meeting. Kelsey was hot as hell, anyone can see that. She was probably the hottest girlfriend he had ever had. Finding her in a bookstore and talked about Charles Bukowski the way they did was what hooked him in the first place. He had never met a girl who was as enthusiastic about the dead poet as he was.
Their early interaction left the impression that he couldn't resist but to follow her all the way to Gastonburry, although it was a city that he could call home. He wanted to get to know her better, especially because sexually they were very much compatible, he was hoping to be compatible in other things too.
But after a few days that they spent in Gastonburry, things started to look further and further away from what he expected. Kelsey was too wild for his taste, she was a party girl who loved her booze and party friends. She didn't seem to enjoy college in any way whatsoever, she was careless about her future because she was too busy partying. And now he found out that she was behind in her credits and won't be able to take the spot at his restaurant which could be a great turning point for their relationship.
It wasn't much of a relationship just yet, but it could be, and he was willing to try. Having a long-distance relationship with a girl like Kelsey might as well mean that it was over before it began.
"I guess I can ask her if she'd like to intern for me," he finally said.
"I think she will, and you won't regret it ... anyways, I'd probably take an internship at my dad's company and ask his Human Resource Department to lie on my report," she laughed, "And then I can spend three months in Bhorma lying naked with you instead," she continued with a seductive smile and a wink.
Nathan curved on a half-smile, as much as he liked the idea, he wasn't sure if he was looking for a girlfriend who would lie on her report to graduate from college.
Julie was deeply lost in the streets of Europe with Robert Langdon is one of those Dan Brown's thriller novels. Her face was covered by the hardback she had just bought the day before and was already halfway through the 600 plus pages story. Her coffee cup was half empty, her croissant half-eaten, her eyes nailed to the sheets."Julie?!" a voice called her name which she pretended to not hear, she was three pages away from the next chapter. The source of the voice didn't call on her again, instead, he took a seat in front of her in silence. Her eyebrows furrowed as she was finishing a few more paragraphs before she slid her book to one side and startled at the sight of Nathan."Nathan?! I'm sorry I was ..." she was lost for words."In the middle of a chapter? Don't worry, I'm like that too ..." he laughed softly, showing a row of perfect teeth between his perfectly shaped lips. "Are you alone? Can I sit here?" he was dir
Whenever she's not in a class, twice or three times a week at various coffee shops they would meet to discuss work while Kelsey attends her classes. They made tremendous progress just by brainstorming, making phone calls, and work on Julie's laptop. Sometimes Kelsey skipped class to join them, to see what the work was like but then she was bored after a few hours and decided that she was better off in class.Julie went to the counter to order some coffee and snacks whenPreston approached her. "Hey, I thought I'd find you here," he greeted her. He was standing really closeto her, their arms rubbed with each other and it made her uncomfortable."Hey Preston," she replied in a monotone."My birthday is coming up, I wanted to invite you," he said.Julie shrugged, "Oh I don't think I can come, but thanks for inviting me, I'll let Kelsey know.""Come on, Jules, this been go
The party was at his house. Preston's family also owned a house in Gastonburry, but he chose to live in the dorm because he didn't get along with his dad. It was a better choice for his love life too, it would've been disastrous to bring his dates home and meet his parents in the morning.Kelsey was right, Preston was a slut, he sleeps around with everybody. He had the looks, he got the reputation, and he was a singer in his band which was gradually making a name for itself. Even though he took the Business Major, his musical talent was pulling him in another direction.His girlfriend for the past couple of years was an on and off relationship because he couldn't keep his pants on. It left Julie feeling like an idiot for letting him in her room that night and fell for the same trick that he probably used with every girl he slept with. Or maybe he didn't need a trick at all, because most girls would open their door to him just because he was
'I broke up with Naomi' the girl who he cheated on with her. So? She thought. It couldn't be undone, she slept with someone else's boyfriend. Something she never thought would happen. Especially not when her last boyfriend cheated on her because she wasn't sure about giving up her virginity to him.She shrugged it off. She remembered how hewas when she opened her dorm room that night. He was drunk, he said he couldn't sleep, he was smelling like booze with a tint of Hugo Boss, he hadan unopened bottle of Vodka in his hand.Preston always smelled nice, even under a stale cigarette odor. He took his jacket off, leaving his thin worn out The Doors T-shirt hanging loose above his jeans. He threw himself on the floor next to her, their backs leaned on the bed. He opened the bottle with his teeth and they started drinking.He went on about the thousands of fights he had with Naomi, that night being the peak o
The first time he was introduced to Julie, the most obvious thing about her was her quietness. People would assume she was shy. She doesn't talk much unless it was something that interests her. The next obvious thing was her intellect, she can talk about anything that nourishes her brilliant mind. She knows her music, she knows her books, she knows her artists like they were her friends.She laughs at things most people find offensive, she laughs at herself, her laugh was contagious. She knows how to be focused, she knows when to let loose. She listens like you are the most important person in the room. She'll tell you the nicest things about yourself and the worst things without judging you. By this time, you'll see her as your best friend. And then he sees it, the way she threw her head back when she laughs, the creases in the corners of her eyes, her smart comebacks, the way she tucked her hair behind her ears. She was pretty. Pretty amazing.
Kelsey came back later that day looking exhausted. She threw her arms up and fell on her bed like a log. She let out a long sigh of relief.Julie was on her laptop editing Preston's videos, she glanced at her suspiciously, "Long day?"Sheprobably had spentthewhole afternoonsexingupwith Nathan,thesigh didn'tsoundlikeagood one.Kelsey turned her head lazily, "Hhmm ... he didn't bring his A-game today, and I was wearing my go-to jeans and lucky thong ... I guess it's not so lucky anymore."Julie chuckled, "Why? What happened?"Kelsey rolled on her stomach, "I don't know, something was weighing on his mind, I think it's probably work, he's nervous for next week ... the recruitment and everything ... it's starting to feel like we're married."Julie nodded, "Yeah he does have a lot on his plate, he'll be meeti
Julie closed her laptop and gave a sigh of relief, "I think that's it for now, are you ready to go back and start everything?"Nathan sat back on his chair, "Ready as I'll ever be ... I'm glad you're on board, can't wait for December, it's gonna be exciting.""Me too, I feel like I'm a part of it already, I have so many ideas that I want to share with you for Ardor."Nathan sipped on his coffee, "Please, give me everything you've got, draft them up, send it through email or Skype me, I want to hear all of them, 'cause I got plenty of those too ... just not sure if they're doable, I guess we're gonna have to wait 'till we get all the team ready.""True, at least you know what to look for when you're recruiting, we're setting a pretty high standard for a new business," Julie said."I'm willing to compensate them for their contribution though, I believe that I need them more than th
The last couple of nights in Gastonburry, Kelsey stayed at his place. He indulged her with his best meals, his best wine, put on his go-to music for a quiet romantic night with his girlfriend."Are you going to be okay while I'm gone?" he finally asked her.Her eyes flickered as she sipped her wine, "Of course not ... I will miss you terribly."He smiled, "Me too," and then he was quiet.Kelsey went over to him and sat on his lap. She brushed his hair with her fingers, looped her arms around his neck. Something was on his mind, but he couldn't say it. She kissed him. "Are you okay?" she sensed it."Kelsey ..." it was right on the edge of his tongue, she waited for it. "Should I be worried?" he said it."About what?""About us ... I mean, I can't help but feel like ..." he couldn't bring himself to say it. "Neither of us has ever been in a
