It was the 2nd to last last night of fall break, I had stayed at college and had nothing to do so I was wandering the halls of my dorm. The door to the men's restroom opened and David stepped out into the hallway in front me. David was a 21 year old RA, but not my RA.
"Hey Kota, how's your break been." he asked with a smile.
"Pretty uneventful, yours?" I asked while checking him out. It was a habit of mine to check him out. I'd been harboring a crush on him for the last month. I have a bit of thing for tall jewish boys, and attractive boys in general, and that's definitely what David was. He was around 6'2" and dark curly hair and a short sexy beard that I wanted to run my hands over. His eyes were a deep chocolaty brown and he had dimples when he smiled which were adorable in a way that made me swoon.
"I went home for a couple of days but came back this morning. I'm just about to watch a documentary for my psych class if you want to join me." He offered.
I was ridiculously excited but I attempted to not be the dorky freshman with a crush on an upperclassman that I was, and said "sure, psychology is interesting." I followed him to his room. The door swung closed behind us and I looked around. It was a single with his bed under the window, a desk next to the foot of the bed, a wardrobe built into the wall, and a small book shelf against the other wall. The walls were decorated with haphazard nerd culture posters and picture of cats. His bed had a rumpled green comforter on it.
"Do you want me to leave the door open?" he asked.
"It doesn't matter to me." I answered. Really I wanted it to remain closed. He grabbed his laptop and sat down on his bed. He slid into the corner, leaning back against the wall he patted the bed beside him. I sat down and leaned against the wall as well, our thighs brushed and my heart skipped a beat. He started the movie on his laptop. It was a documentary about PTSD. I leaned against him under the premise of seeing the screen better. A broad expanse of our thighs were now pressed together. He put his arm around my shoulders and pulled me closer. I tried to control my breathing. I put my arm around his lower back and leaned into him. I tried to concentrate on the soldiers on the screen instead of his heart beating next to me. To no avail. I didn't retain a minute of the documentary.
When it was over he closed the laptop and looked over at me. Our eyes were inches apart. "What did you think?" he asked.
I licked my lips and answered, "it was interesting." His eyes trailed from mine to my mouth. He stared at my lips for a second before brushing his against mine. He pulled back, closed his eyes and leaned his head against the wall. I sucked in a deep breath. David's was shallow.
"I'm sorry" he whispered, his voice rough and raspy.
