Adam and Liz had been together since they were 14 and just 3 months ago Adam proposed to her at sunset on a beach in Mexico. Liz of course said yes, she knew Adam was the one. They had always done everything together, hand in hand, and now they were starting college together and settling in nicely.
Adam was the workaholic, studying chemistry, determined to achieve, Liz was clever too but could just never motivate herself in the same way as Adam, but that's one reason she admired him so much. They were due to get married in 6 months time and she was so busy and excited with the wedding plans that she sometimes got a little sidetracked from her studies.
They were sat in Adam's room one afternoon, chilling out and talking. Adam worshipped Liz and everything she did. Adam was always a bit of a geek, quite short and skinny with scruffy hair. He wasn't bad looking at all but his self esteem had always been fairly low, well, at least until he met Liz. Liz was gorgeous. She was very short, quite slim but had large breasts for her size, which is why every guy at school had a fascination with her for a while. She was very pretty as well, with dazzling green eyes and amazing smile, with short brown hair to her shoulders. Despite all the attention she got at school, there was never anybody else but Adam and it was actually her that asked him out first.
Sitting in Adam's room, with the sunlight streaming in through the blinds, holding each other as they talked, they both felt so comfortable and happy. Liz was so glad she'd found a guy she could talk openly with, a guy who understood her and looked after her, someone who always put her first.
"Oh no!" Adam suddenly said.
"What is it hunny?" Liz asked, suddenly worried.
"I just realised it's Thursday today, for some reason I thought it was Wednesday. I'm meant to have got some reading done for tomorrow."
"That's ok Adam, just do it later..." Liz thought for a second, "Oh, of course, we're going to see that movie tonight."
"Yeah, I should probably just run down to the library and do it now, won't take long anyway. Do you want to stay here?"
"Sure, if you're quick. Is your roommate going to come back while you're gone?"
"Dan?" Adam mulled it over for a second, "No, I doubt it, he only makes the odd cameo appearance so I wouldn't worry. He's not going to bother you if he does come back anyway, he's a bit weird but he's alright really."
Liz hadn't met Adam's roommate yet, he rarely seemed to be in. Adam and Dan didn't really have a lot in common so usually if one was in the other would go out. Dan was into his sports and the gym, a foreign world to Adam.
"OK, I love you, see you later," Adam said as he left his room.
"Love you baby!" Shouted Liz as he closed the door behind him.
Liz turned on the TV and started to flick channels.
Barely 2 minutes had passed when she heard a key in the lock. She jumped at the sound and saw the door open and a guy standing in the doorway. Dan walked in and saw Liz sat on her own.
"Hi, I'm Liz, Adam's fiancé." She said, offering her hand.
"Dan," he replied nonchalantly, but shook her hand firmly. "No fiancé then?" He asked.
"Oh no, he's just gone to the library for a little while, he won't be long."
"Yeah? How long do you reckon? Asked Dan.
"I don't know, maybe 45 minutes, replied Liz.
"That's cool, that's enough time."
Liz didn't ask what it was enough time for, she just lay on Adam's bed and watched the TV.
There was something about Dan she really didn't like and she immediately understood why he didn't really get on with Adam. He seemed arrogant and sleazy and she felt awkward being in the same room as him, she felt like he was watching her. She heard some sounds behind her and eventually looked around to see what it was. It was Dan getting changed and he was now stood just in his boxer shorts.
"Oh sorry," said Liz, "I didn't mean to look." She got flustered and looked back at the TV. Dan didn't say a word. Liz thought about what she had seen for a second. She knew Dan was sporty but he had a body to die for. Tall, handsome, big muscles all over him, it was like her ideal man's body. Such a shame, she thought, that guys like that are more than often arrogant and nasty.
"Different to your fiancé's?" Asked Dan from nowhere.
Liz looked around in surprise and saw Dan still standing there in his boxers, fiddling with his mobile phone.
"Is what different?" She replied.
He looked up at her, walked over intently and grabbed her hand. He pressed her hand to his neck and ran Liz's soft fingers and long red nails over his chest and down to his firm six pack stomach. He held her hand there for a moment and let go of her. She just kept her hand on his muscular stomach, frozen.
"Is THAT different? He said.
"Yes," she whispered nervously.
