Lila walked slowly across campus toward her dorm. She had spent the last few weeks stuck in the library studying for finals. The fall quarter was finally coming to an end. She opened the main door to her dorm using her student id card and then started up the stairs for her room. Her roommate Pamela was probably gone already, back to New York for Christmas. Lila pulled her long dark hair up as she walked up the stairs, she was tired and her back hurt. Not to mention she was horny as hell. She hadn't had sex in so long. Not that she didn't have the opportunity, she just wanted who she couldn't have, Travis.
She opened her purse to pull her keys out and then dropped them. She laughed at herself, she was a mess. She heard the footsteps before she felt the hand pull her up quickly.
"What the hell..." she stared but was silenced by the hand over her mouth.
"Hurry up and open the door." The voice was almost familiar. Lila did as she was told. The body behind her pushed her into the room. She pulled away and turned to face Travis as he pushed the door shut and flipped on the light.
"What's your problem?" She threw her backpack down, her adrenaline pumping fast.
"Who do you think you are fucking my bro at a party?" His voice was loud, louder than hers and he looked angry, like he had been waiting to say this for awhile.
"Last I checked I didn't have any reason not to fuck whoever I want. Is this why you assaulted me out there? To yell at me for no reason?"
Travis squeezed his fists tight. He was so angry at her and at the same time he was dying to grab her and kiss her. Ever since he had stopped calling her all he had wanted to do was see her. He didn't know what had freaked him out about her, that she was black or that he really liked her.
"Travis?" Lila crossed her arms, her own anger rising about the situation, "You do remember that it was you who stopped calling me and started ignoring me right?"
"Look I..." He pushed a hand through his blonde hair and Lila resisted the urge to go to him.
"I have to change. I'm going to the gym." She turned her back to him and started to undress. She unzipped her dress and let it fall to the floor. She remembered too late that she was wearing a thong and no bra. She grabbed for one of Pamela's shirts lying on the desk.
Travis beat her to it. He pulled the shirt away from her, "Don't."
