I picked up my phone and called Alex to see if maybe he went home. "Hello?" He said. "Hi!" I said excited. "Hey you." He said. "Are you at home?" I asked. "Yeah, I brought my work home." He said. "Can I come by?" I asked, "I'd probably get there in like twenty minutes or so." "Uh. . ." "Come on. I want to see you before I go out tonight." I said. "Yeah, you can come by." He said. "Yay!" I said. He laughed, "See you in a bit." "Bye." I said and hung up. I parked at his apartments and fixed my make up. Then I let my hair down and brushed it with my fingers. I grabbed my purse and walked to his apartment. I was a little nervous, because I had only been to his place once and I didn't even go inside. I knocked on the door and a guy opened it. "May I help you?" He asked. "Is Alex around?" I asked. "Yes he is." He said, "Alex!" He yelled. "Come on in." I walked in and sat down on the couch. "Would you like something to drink?" He asked. "Um, sure." I said. "Water? Pepsi?" He asked. "Water is fine." I said. Alex peaked around the corner. He just had a towel around his waist and his hair was wet. "I'll be right out." He said and left. "I'm Chris by the way." He said. I smiled. He went into the kitchen. "And you must be Ally." He said. "Yup." I said. "I kept hearin' about you, but never saw you. I was starting to wonder if you were made up." He said. I laughed. "Either that or like fucked up with one arm or some shit." He said. I bursted into laughter. He walked over to me and handed me a glass of water. He laughed, "Wow, I didn't think I was that funny." He said. "Sorry." I said trying to stop laughing as I took the glass from him. Alex walked out and he was just wearing some jeans. He had no shirt on and he looked really hot. He gave me a kiss and went to the kitchen. Chris followed him. "Young and hot." I heard Chris whisper. "Dude, shh." Alex whispered back. "Where did you meet her?" Chris asked quietly. "We'll talk later." Alex told him. "Where the hell would you, holy shit. Is she a student from the school?" Chris asked. Alex laughed. I peaked around the corner. "Dude." Chris said holding his hand out for a high five. Alex laughed again. "It's not like that, man." He said. "I don't care what it's like." Chris said still holding his hand out. Alex looked over at me and I looked away quickly trying not to laugh. He walked over to me. "Sorry about my roommate, apparently he thinks the half wall is going to make the kitchen SOUNDPROOF!" He said laughing. "It's okay." I said laughing. "Let's go back to my room." He said, holding out his hand to help me up. We walked by Chris, and he winked at us. I was trying so hard not to laugh. We walked back to Alex's room, and he shut the door. "Sorry." He said, sitting on the bed, in the corner of his room. On the other side there was a pretty nice desk with a computer and a bunch of papers scattered around. I was surprised at how big, and pretty neat, with the exception of his desk, his room was. "Nice." I said, looking around. "Thanks. So what's up?" He asked. "I just wanted to see my sexy man before I had to go out tonight." I told him, smiling. "You are so gorgeous. Come here!" He said, holding out his arms. I walked over to him, and stood between his legs. He wrapped his arms around, lifted up my shirt and kissed my stomach. Then he slid one of his hands in my back pocket to squeeze my butt. Thats when the door opened. "Wow, you two don't waste any time, do you!" Chris said. "Damn it Chris!" Alex shouted. "Sorry, the Dean is on the phone. He said it was important." Chris told him. "Oh shit. I'll be right back." he said, standing up, and kissing my cheek. He walked out of his room, and Chris stood there with the door open, looking at me. "Can I help you?" I asked him, feeling a little awkward. "Sorry." he said, and shut the door. I layed down on Alex's bed and waited for him to come back. After about five minutes, I started to get bored so I picked up a book I saw on his nightstand. "The Psychology and Philosphy of Sex by Margaret A. Brown." I read aloud to myself. "Interesting." I flipped it open and started to read the introduction. He walked back in a few minutes later. "He wants me to do some safe sex promotion." He said sounding irritated. "Oh." I said closing the book. He looked at it and smiled. He looked a little embarassed. "It's not for my own reference." He said. I just nodded smiling and put it back. I noticed a framed picture of a very pretty thin blond girl on his desk. She looked like she was in her late twenties or so. I picked up the picture. "Who is this?" I asked. "Oh, that's my best friend Cailin." He said walking over to me. I just nodded and set it back down. "I grew up with her." He said. "Oh." I said. "Hey, Alex!" Chris shouted. "Cailin is here!" He looked at the ceiling and sighed. "Be right back again. I'm sorry." He said. He left the room and closed the door. I layed down on his bed. It was a lot different seeing him somewhere other than the school. He walked in with her looking very nervous. I jumped up. "This is. . . um, Allison." He said. "So, nice to meet you." She said smiling. She looked like a super model and it made me uncomfortable. "Okay, so I'm going to walk her out and I'll be right back." He said. "Sorry to interupt." She said. She did not look like she was sorry to interupt. "Sure you are." I said rudly under my breath as Alex shut the door behind him. I picked up my purse and pulled out my chapstick to reaply. Chris walked into the room. "Boy is he getting a mouthfull from her." He said. "Why?" I asked. "She's pissed off because you're young." He said. "I don't think I like her very much." I said softly. He laughed, "I know I don't like her very much." I laughed. "Don't worry about her. Alex would never date her or start listening to her." He said. I smiled. "Hope not." Alex walked into the room. He looked mad. "It's probably time for you to go now, hu?" Alex said. Chris shook his head looking annoyed and left the room. "No, I can stay a little longer." I said smiling. He looked at the floor and put his hands in his pockets. "Should we be doing this?" He asked, still looking at the floor. I felt like crying. I grabbed my purse. "So, I guess Cailin is running your life now." I said. I stormed passed him and out the front door. I got in my car and pulled away. I saw him walk out of his apartment and watch me. I headed to Todd's apartment. I decided to stop at the grocery store to get a six pack of beer for myself. I knew Alex and I wouldn't last forever, but I was hoping it would last a little bit longer. I sighed. I always looked way to far into things. When I got to Todd's I decided to just forget about and have fun. "Hey! You came over!" Todd shouted when he opened the door. "Yeah! Am I the only one?" I asked, looking around. "Nah, I'm sure more people will show up in a bit. Come on in!" He said. "You didn't have to bring your own beer." He said taking the six pack from me. He put it in the refrigerator. We each grabbed a beer and I followed him to his bedroom. He started showing me his new model car and explaining to me what he was going to do with it. I only caught bits and peices of what he said. I kept thinking about Alex. "So, should I paint it red or yellow?" He asked. "Ally, are you okay?" I looked at him. "Yeah sorry." I said. My phone rang. It was Alex. I ignored it. When it stopped ringing, I sent him a text message saying I was fine. He texted me back saying: Call me tomorrow baby. "Who is that?" Todd asked as he read it. I quickly put my phone in my purse. "Nobody." I said. I looked at him and he had his arms out like he knew I was keeping something from him. "Todd, it's nothing." I said. "Are you seeing someone?" He asked. "Kind of. Anyway, I don't want to talk about it." I said trying very hard not to cry. "Ally." He said puting his hand under my chin and pushing my head up so I was looking at him. "You look upset. I don't think you were listening to a word I said before. What's on your mind?" "I don't want to talk about it." I said. "Ally." He said softly. "I can't talk about it." I told him. "Of course you can." He said. "No, I can't." I said again. He gave me a weird look. "I would, but I can't say anything. I'm sorry." "Ally, now you have to tell me. Whats going on?" He asked. I decided to just tell him about Alex, but not mention he was a Professor. "So you don't know if it is serious or not? I don't see the problem." He said. "The problem is, we probably shouldn't be dating." I explained. "Why not?" He asked. "Because. Okay. He's older." I told him. "So, it's not like he's a teacher or something. Age doesn't always matter." He said. When I didn't say anything he got a look of shock on his face. "Ally!" He shouted. "I shouldn't have said anything." I told him. I started crying. "I just like him a lot." I sobbed. "Who is it?" He asked. "I can't tell you." I said. "Was he your teacher or just one at the school?" He asked. "He was mine." I answered. "Professor Houston?" He asked. "Ew!" I said giggling. "He's younger." He said smiling. "And also a total dork!" I said laughing. He smiled, "Just tell me." "Learman." I said. His eyes got big. "Are you serious? Wow." I nodded. "Todd, he really is a good guy." He smiled. "He is pretty cool and I'm sure you find him attractive, but Ally. . ." He said tucking my hair behind my ears. "I know." I said. "I trust your judgement though. And technically he isn't your teacher anymore." He said. I nodded, "I just wish that Cailin chick would back off." "Eh, she's probably just trying to look after him." He said. "She's dumb! She doesn't even know me! She probably just wants him and she is jelous!" I shouted. "Ally, stop." He said. I gave him a hug. "I'm jelous though." He said laughing. "Shut up." I said. He pulled away and smiled. "He's older than me, he's hotter than me, probably more experienced too. If you know what I mean. . ." He said. "Todd!" I said laughing and pushing him playfully. "Well, I am, and I bet he is." He said, winking this time. "STOP! Who are you seeing?" I asked, wanting to change the subject. "No one. That Janice chick turned out to be a total bitch." He said, with a snarl on his face. It made me laugh. "What?" He asked. "You just look funny." I told him, sticking my tounge out. "So, what are your parents going to think when you bring him home?" He asked. "I'm not bringing him home!" I said laughing. "You're going to have to eventually." He said. "I'm not introducing him to anyone unless we end up getting serious." I said. He hugged me again. He opened his beer and handed it to me. I took a sip of it. We heard some people walk into the apartment being loud. "Should we go out there?" I asked. He shook his head. "Can we just hang out in here together?" He asked. "I guess." I said. "My roomate has some people over too. We can go out there if you want." He said. "No, it's okay. You and I havn't hung out in a while." I told him. "No, we havn't." He said, smiling. There was a knock at the door. "Yeah?" He shouted. "Hey, you coming out loser?" A guy shouted. "I have company!" He yelled back. "Well, hurry up and make love to your hand so we can hang out damn it! Rich and Rachel are here!" The guy shouted. "I'll be out later!" Todd yelled back. "Okay, but we've got more people coming. You better not miss out!" The guy shouted one last time and walked away. I was laughing so hard still from the hand comment. "What?" He asked. "Don't have girls over often?" I asked.
