tonight.”
“Keepin’ it low key, good.”
“I still owe you a game man, maybe later?” Colin and Turtle had a friendly rivalry at the pool table.
“Sure thing, brother.”
Colin’s eyes adjusted to the dark atmosphere inside the bar. The place smelled of old beer and unbathed graduate students.
I don’t think Lia would like it here. Ugh, why am I thinking about her again?
“Hey Colin, wassup?” Noah came up behind him, hitting him a too hard on his back.
He was kind of skinny, but muscular. He didn’t realize his strength sometimes.
“Ouch man, don’t kill me now.” Colin laughed. They were the most unlikely friends, just judging by appearances. Colin was tall and drop-dead gorgeous; Noah was skinny and barely broke 5’8”. Colin teased him about his pretty hair; Noah had shiny brown hair that any girl would envy.
“Beer.” Noah didn’t need to say more than that.
At the bar, Chad the bartender was busy mixing up some Long Island Ice Teas for a group of women.
“Hey boys, you want one too?” Their ringleader looked pointedly at Colin, licking her lips and flicking her shiny blond hair. Noah nodded. “Go for her, she’s hot.”
“Sure, I’ll take one.” Why not? I need some fun.
Chad winked at Colin knowingly and gave him a furtive thumbs up. He handed the drink to the blonde woman, and she sauntered over to Colin. “I’m Krystal.” Her blue eyes looked straight at him. “Colin,” he said. She handed him the drink and clinked her glass against his. “Cheers.” He gulped down the strong drink. The alcohol hit him immediately. Krystal wiped his mouth with her manicured fingers, sucking on them. “Yum.” Colin was surprised that he didn’t feel anything when she did that.
Krystal grabbed his hand. “Come.” She pulled him over to a couch in the corner. “Sit down.” Colin sat, and his eyes followed her long legs in tight jeans all the way to her large chest in a sparkly halter top. Krystal opened her legs and kneeled onto the couch, straddling him. She licked her very full lips.
Colin put his hands on her behind, expecting to feel aroused. Nothing. He felt cold. Krystal was heavy on his lap, and he just wanted to get up.
“I should go.” Krystal resisted as he tried to remove her. “Come on, cutie pie. You know you want this.”
“No.” He looked at her. Krystal’s eyes narrowed. “Fine.” She stood up quickly and walked back to her friends. “Wet blanket,” he heard her say and her posse burst out laughing.
Colin went back to Noah who looked puzzled. Chad gave him a questioning look.
Noah’s eyes widened. “Dude, why?”
“Yeah, she’s hot, but I don’t know, I’m not feeling it.”
Noah shrugged. “So what’s up man?”
“It’s weird. There’s this girl. I knew her from before, but it was at my college graduation party. She was a freshman crashing our party, and totally drunk off her ass. Lots of things happened, but we never kept in touch or anything.”
“Uh huh.” Noah’s eyes widened.
“So turns out she’s my mentee in lab, Dr. P just introduced her to me.”
“Shit, no way, what are the odds?” As a Math major, Noah was probably calculating the odds in his head.
“It’s been so weird. I think she hates me for some reason —”
“And you’re stuck working together...Yeah that blows.”
Colin felt relieved. Just telling someone about it, made things seem better.
“Do you like her?” Noah wasn’t letting this go.
“Eh, she’s okay.” Colin looked to the side. This was too personal, he wasn’t going to embarrass himself.
“Just okay?” Noah smiled.
“Yup.”
No she’s not just okay. She’s got long legs and a perfect butt and the most gorgeous green eyes and she smells so good.
“How ‘bout you man, anything new?”
Noah took a slow sip of his beer and paused. “Well actually yes. I did meet this girl at a party a couple nights ago, and she’s great.” His face was beaming.
“Oh
