Campus Corner (Open)

[CarnivalBarker]

We stand around, taking in the view with our wine, and I turn to you again. "What do you want to do next?" I ask, slightly grinning.

 

[celestialdragon]

"I think a little celebration is in order," I say softly. "Back at our hotel room."

 

[CarnivalBarker]

"Gonna wear your ring?" I ask.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Yes," I say honestly, looking down at it and blushing.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

"Only the ring?" I ask, hopefully.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Only the ring," I say with a smile. "Only the ring." I kiss you passionately.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

Jason shows us to the ground floor and congratulates us both with hugs. We begin to walk down the street and my phone rings. I tell you it's Donovan, and answer the phone.

"Hey man," I say, and begin listening. "Yeah. She called YOU?? What did she say? Scott told me earlier. Yeah. She's......here. Yes. She's amazing and took it well. Yeah. Alright, see you tomorrow. Um...the bar across from the stadium where they have the pizza. Alright, bye." I hang up and shake my head.

"We are meeting them before the game," I say.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Alright," I say with a smile. "Can't wait." I kiss your cheek. I feel giddy like a schoolgirl.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

I look at you, wondering what I should tell you, thinking you were surely listening to my call with Donovan.

 

[celestialdragon]

I sense something's on your mind. "Sweetheart?" I ask softly. "Do you need to tell me something?" I couldn't hear everything you were saying with Donovan.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

"Riley called Donovan," I say. "She told him she's late." I feel like your night is ruined.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Alright, so she's spreading the word," I say calmly. "Baby, she's going to and we won't know for sure until we get back. Don't worry about it for right now, okay?" I stroke your cheek. "Forget about it for a little bit."

I open the door to our hotel. "Pour yourself a scotch," I tell you. "On the rocks."

 

[CarnivalBarker]

"Gladly," I say, pulling a Glenlivet from the minibar as you retreat into the bedroom of the spacious suite.

 

[celestialdragon]

I slowly take off what I was wearing, except for the jewelry you gave me, and wrapped myself in one of the hotel's luxurious robes. I walk over to you and sit behind you, massaging your shoulders without saying a word, letting you know what needed to be said without saying it.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

You feel me relax as you rub on me. I turn my head to kiss you. "I love you," I say, smiling.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Mmm, and I love you," I say with a smile of my own and a kiss of my own. "Feel better?" I ask softly.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

"Yeah, I do." I smile. "It's going to be ok, isn't it?"

 

[celestialdragon]

"It is, sweetheart," I say with my own smile. I move out from behind you and sit next to you. I turn your head towards mine and kiss you gently but with passion.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

"Mmmm," I sigh. "You taste good." I rub your thigh sticking out of the robe. "You always taste good."

 

[celestialdragon]

"Mmm, so do you," I say with a soft sigh as you rub my thigh. I start to gently undo your shirt, looking into your eyes lovingly. "Have I ever mentioned how much I love looking into your eyes?" I ask softly. "They make me feel safe and warm and loved."

 

[CarnivalBarker]

"Yeah?" I ask you. "Tell me more."

 

[celestialdragon]

I take your shirt off after I'm done unbuttoning it and continue. "There's always this kindness in them. . . the way the light reflects off of them. . ." I say. "They make me happy, and you always get this beautiful twinkle when you look at me. I can look at them all day, and feel like I've just conquered the world."

 

[CarnivalBarker]

You remove my shirt and I lie back, frankly tired from the last several hours. "I love you being with me, all the time, baby." I tell you. "Thank you for understanding. You lean over kissing me, and one hand slides into your robe and sits on your side, gently rubbing you.

 

[celestialdragon]

I sigh softly as you rub my side. "You're welcome, baby. I will always do my best to understand the situation and help you the best I can. That's what lovers do, right?" I ask with a smile and another kiss. "I love being around you too." I lay down next to you and trace patterns with my fingers on your chest.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

We lay there silently long enough to nod off a little, waking only maybe 20 or 30 minutes later. I wake with a little jolt and look down at you. "You asleep, babe?"
