"We're actually in college". Monique said in disbelief looking around the place as we ate in the cafeteria.

"Its been a year now and your still saying the same thing". She look at me nonchalantly.

"As if you thought we'd made it this far".

"Of course I did". I bit my chicken looking away from her. I can feel her eyes piercing through me, so I look back at her because it feels uncomfortable.

"Ok so I didn't, but you kept saying the same thing over and over. We are here and that's what matters now".

"Yeah yeah, I'll say it as much as I want". I rolled my eyes.

Suddenly my ringtone went off.

"Oh great". I said after I realised its mom.

"Your mom again?" I nod.

"See? I'm not the only one who's still excited".

"Shut up".

I pressed the answer button.

"Hey mommy".

"Hi sweetie how are you doing?" I sigh.

"Fine mom as usual".

"I know that I'm a pest sometimes but I just want to know if your ok".

"Yes mom I'm ok".

"I don't like your tone. Are you tired of me?"

"Mom its not-"

"Well sorry to bother you, but its just that. . .". Is she going to cry?

"Your growing up so fast and soon you'll get married, have kids. You won't be around anymore". She's worried about that, but that doesn't say she won't see me again.

"Mom nothing or no one can make me leave you ok? Your here for me all my life and I'm gonna he there for you. Until death do us part ok?" She sniff.

"Ok honey, well I'm gonna hang up now bye". I look at the phone after she hung up. Weird.

"Did you just got married to your mother?" Monique joked. I laugh.

"I think so. It's alright, she's just worried that-".

"You won't be around anymore after you got married, blah blah blah?"

"Yeah did your mom said that to you too?" I asked smiling.

"Yeah this morning actually".

The both of us giggle.

I look at my watch. My eyes widen.

"Sh*t its time for me to get to class".

"Yeah me too". The both of us got up, took up our books and throw what's left of our lunch in the trash bin.

"See you later. I love those heels by the way, they make you look incredibly sexy".

"Thanks. Where are you going?"

"Class". She smirked walking off. Monique doesn't have a class right. . . she's gonna see that guy again. I hope she knows that book comes first.

I turn around.

No no no!

All my papers are now scattered on the floor.

"Let me help you". A not so familiar voice said, but I didn't look up because I'm too busy taking up my papers and if I don't get to class soon I'm gonna miss some of my lectures and I don't want that. Oh god.

"Sorry I wasn't looking". The person said helping me taking up the papers that escaped my books. I do a little extra writing.

I look up and the sight I saw almost made my breathe stopped. He has cute brown eyes and dark brown hair. I quickly look away from him before he thinks that I'm admiring him. I quickly took up what's left of my papers then stand and so did he.

"Hi". He greeted with a smile.

"Hello um. . .I need to get to class". I said before walking off.

"Wait". I stop and turn around. He's about an inch taller than I am. He's in between in size and also looks really smart.

"Can I at least get your name?". Oook

"Its Akeilia".

"Nice to meet you Akeilia, I'm Black". Black ok.

"Nice to meet you too. . .Black. I really need to get going". Weird-ish name.

"Ok see you around". I nod then walked off.

* * *

"A project is coming up soon and you'll be teaming up. So be prepared". I didn't know that studying to become a medical doctor would've been so difficult. But I study hard and do what I'm suppose to, so I won't fail. I can't fail.

I took up my books and stand. The class is almost empty. I wonder where Monique is.

"Ms Shaw". Mr Gayle called. I look at him. What did I do?

"Yes sir". I said now standing at his desk. He looked up from his book and straighten his glasses.

"I observed your grades and your attitude, likewise all my students. Your a brilliant person and you should keep that up ok?"

"Um. . .thanks sir". I smiled. I look from left to right wondering why he'd say that.

"Good don't let anything distract you". Oh now I know why he said that. I think I wondered off a few times during lecture. I was thinking about that guy, Black. I must stay focus.

"I'll keep that in mind". I walked off towards the exit. I can't believe I lost focus. Well no more.

I look carefully this time to make sure that I bumped into no one else.

"Hey k". Monique said, but touched me before. Thank god.

"You startled me".

"Uh ok". We're now walking beside each other.

"Did you go to class?"

"Of course I did". I arc an eyebrow.

"I did, but I went to see Brandon. Akeilia we don't have class the same time". Oh yeah.

"Well don't waste time with him. Book comes first".

"I know that. All we did was talk".

"Well you must know". She frown looking at me.

"What?"

"You said that I frightened you, why?"

"Oh that. . .I um. . .bumped into someone today". She lighten up with excitement.

"Who was is? Is he cute!"

"Relax". I whispered looking around to make sure no ones paying us any attention.

"He said that his name is Black".

"Black. . .nah I don't know him".

"Your suppose to know him?"

"Of course not". She looked away from me.

Something tells me that Monique had slept with a few guys here already. Its her choice though, I can't make her keep her legs closed.

I'm not perfect though. I don't have a V card. I only did it twice with one person but I left him. I don't like people who loves to jump to conclusion, gives me no time to speak for myself or act as if I'm a child. I'm nineteen, not a child.

Of course I feel for sex at times, but I wanna meet the right person, or whatever. Anyways my lack of sex won't make me any less happy. I'm at college. I'm making something of myself and my mother is proud.

"Akeilia".

"Huh?" I look at my friend.

"Have you ever. . .been in love?" I smile looking at my friend.

"Does someone feels like she's in love?"

"Stop joking around. Its serious". My smile faded.

"I'm not sure if its love or something else". Students are walking among us so I look to see if anyone is prying.

"I. . .I haven't yet. I'd love to experience it though. . .". She smile and pushed her hair behind her ear.

". . .But you have to know. Don't rush things, take it slow and in time if there's any obstacle and he broke through with you, then you'll know".

"Yeah that sounds right. Your a good friend. If it was some other person they'd probably told me to go for it". I frown.

"Go for it. . .do you mean you haven't. . .?"

"No god no. . .at least not yet. I like him". I'm not that surprised, because I'm a good example.

"He hadn't asked so I just don't mention it. I
used to mention it, and after it happened I later found out they're no good". She sigh. My poor friend. She look at me.

"I wish I could be more like you". What?

"Hell no you wouldn't wanna be me. I have issues of my own". She lighten up a bit. I knew she would. When you tell people things like that it let them think that your their equal and it allows them to feel better and comfortable. That's what I'm doing to my friend.

"Really what could that possibly be?"

"Well for one, I wish men would ask me out the way they do to you and I'm horny as hell". I giggle.

"You little b*tch. You act like you have it all under control". I shrugged and giggled again. She hugged me around the shoulder.

"I love you girl".

"Me too". Now that's how I want to see her.

* * *

"Hey Akeilia". I looked up from my text book.

"See you later man". He said to his friend.

"Black what a surprise". He sit opposite of me. I'm in the cafeteria using my lunch time to do some studying. I'm not that hungry, so I just bought an orange juice.

"Such a beautiful name you have".

"Ok thanks?" I already know that.

"Why don't we. . .study together?"

"Um. . .I kinda prefer to do it alone". I replied.

"I mean, I'm used to doing it by-".

"It's ok. You don't need to explain". I feel stupid.

"Its just that it'll benefit the both of us because we're in the same field".

"I've never seen you in class before". I raised an eyebrow".

"Have you noticed how antisocial you are? You don't talk to people if they don't say anything to you". Oh that's kinda true.

"I passed you, I accidentally touched you many times. You just didn't noticed me". Really I'm so locked up in a world by myself. Comes to think of it, I kinda remember seeing him.

"Its just that I've been really occupied lately". I said. He chuckle.

"You mean always".

I giggled and looked back at my book, not knowing what else to say.

"Can I ask you something?" I look at him with curiosity.

"I guess".

"Would it be too soon to ask you to hang out with me?" Hell yes!

"You mean like a date?" I asked, then he smile.

"Something like that".

"I don't think so. I-I have too much to do". Oh my god I'm so foolish. Why did god gave him brown eyes and hair? They're such a great combination.

"Sorry to ask. So stupid of me to ask you so soon. We don't even know each other". He hold his head down probably feeling embarrassed. This is so uncomfortable.

"Maybe if we get to know each other more it'll be easier?" He slowly hold his head up.

"You'd do that?" I nod.

"Ok, which means we can study together right?" I nod and he smile, then he took his book out and lay it on the table.

"Ok first question". I said.

ONE WEEK LATER

"Why did your parents named you black?" He chuckle. We're sitting outside the college on a bench under the tree.

"Maybe if I could remember them talking while I was in my mother's belly". I laughed. Ever since we started studying together it had been real fun. I've learned a few things from him.

"Can I ask you something?" I look up from my book.

"Sure anything".

"I'm not sure if you'd want to".

"How would you know if you don't ask". I smile, but I'm curious.

"Its about what I asked you some time back". Oh that. I've found out a few things about his background and he seems like a nice guy.

"When". His face lit up.

"Tonight, I wanna make it special". Special.

"Ok where? And what time?"

"Chases". Restaurant ok.

"I'll pick you up at seven". I smile.

"Fine, now back to studying I have exams next week". I said and he smile.

* * *

I searched for the best dress to wear, which is a red one.

"So he asked you out?"

"About a week ago, but I declined. I feel like accepting now because he seems nice".

"Just be careful, good looking guys like that get any girl they want".

"Who said anything about get?" I giggle standing in front of the mirror.

A car pulled up at our dorm.

"That's him".

"How do I look?" I nervously asked after I turn around.

"Great now hurry". I grabbed my purse hurrying to the door.

"Be careful!"

I stand at the door waiting for him to knock.

Yes of course I'm nervous. Its been a while since anyone asked me out. I've been so busy with book work.

KNOCK!

KNOCK!

I opened the door.

A bright smile formed on his lips.

"Your beyond beautiful". He looks really great.

"And your beyond handsome". He stretched his hand and I took it.

* * *

"Did you do all of this for me?"

"You deserve it. You said you hadn't been out in a while so I decided to make it special. Just the two of us". The place is full of lit candles. There's a projector and a white chart, which means we're gonna watch a movie.

"How did you get all of this done? Don't you have to pay the owner for all the money he lost?"

"Yea but he's my buddy, so its cool". He shrugged.

"So what movie do you wanna watch?"

"Romance". I smiled.

"Ohhh so scary". We both laughed and he got up to set up the movie.

* * *

We ate, talked, laughed, dance. I'm really enjoying myself. My head is now on his shoulder.

"Have you ever been with anyone?" I raised my head.

"Um yeah but that's quite some time ago".

"Oh".

"Why do you ask?"

"Your a distinctive person. I just thought you'd never-".

"Had sex before?" That's not distinctive, probably wants me to feel good, but it worked.

"Yeah, but your different. Your smart, sexy, beautiful". He look at me.

"About the human body, did you know that. . .?" He softly said, stroking my head side.

"A hormone is a chemical substance of an endocrine gland. Endocrine glands, which are also called ductless glans, deposites the hormones into the blood stream. The blood, on its turn, carries the hormones to every part of the body. . .". I shut my eyes as he softly touched my shoulder. It feels so good.

"The sex hormones are estrogen and testosterone. Like all hormones, they are chemical messengers, substances produced in one part of the body that go on to tell other parts what to do". I literally trembled after he kissed my shoulder. Why do I feel wet already? Maybe its because I hadn't have someone touched me this way in such a long time.

He stopped kissing my shoulder and look into my eyes.

"Hmmm". I moaned after he kissed me. I wrapped my hand around his neck kissing him back. Suddenly I feel his hand underneath my dress.

"Hmmm, stop". He squeezed my legs. God it feels good, but I can't do this, not here.

I pushed him.

"Stop".

"Why? You want this don't you".

"Y-Yes. . .I-I mean no. I'm not ready".

"But your not a virgin". He frowned. What? I stand and take my purse up.

"So because I'm not a virgin means I should sleep with you? I'm-". Wait. . .I look around. Did I- did I just heard someone chuckle. I looked around.

"What is it?" He asked and got up, looking from left to right with just his eyes. Something's up.

I looked under the tables.

"Akeilia".

I walked around the counter. I got startled when I saw four guys stooping under the counter, looking up at me frightened.

I look at Black who's just standing there not saying anything.

I walked back to where he's standing.

SMACK!

"That's for trying to fool me! Was this your f*ck*ng surprise!" I look back at the counter where all the guys are standing.

"Sorry man". They mumbled. My eyes widen when I recognized one of them. The guy he said later to when we were in the cafeteria a week ago.

"Did you made a bet on me? Oh so the day you bumped into me wasn't really an accident. Wow your stupid". I really liked the guy.

"I'm sorry". He doesn't even look that sorry. It could be something he always does. Sex girls while his friends watched.

"I bet you've done this many times. Thank god, I'm not some cheap b*tch who you could f*ck in just a week at some cheap restaurant. I was really willing to look pass that and I really liked you".

SMACK!

"And that's for wasting a whole week of my time, having me think that your a good person". I walked off.

"Wait Akeilia. I'm sorry".

"Pathetic! All of you!" I'm happy that I'm the type of person I am, or I would've humiliated myself. Can't wait to tell Monique. Good thing I brought my get vex money. I'll just take a cab home.

Tell me what you think. You said whatever I want with the two, so I've decided to put it like this. I hope your happy with it. Private message me and let me know what you think.
