Campus Corner (Open)

[celestialdragon]

"Really?" I ask softly, almost blushing.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

"Yes, baby, they do. You could have any guy and many girls on Campus, scars or not. You're a 10."

 

[celestialdragon]

I am blushing furiously now. "Really?" I ask.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

"Yes baby," I pat your butt. "Now," I say as you climb in the car. I hand you a pink wrapped present. "Open it."

 

[celestialdragon]

"What'd you get me this time, baby?" I ask, smiling broader now as I unwrap the present.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

Inside is a pair of cute, sexy black heels you have been wanting.

 

[celestialdragon]

I squeal happily as I see them and smile. I lean over and kiss your cheek. "Thank you, baby!" I say.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

I tell you to keep looking in the box. You do, and find I got a gift of my own, as you find a tiny, velvety night gown that matches your shoes.

 

[celestialdragon]

I laugh and smile. "Again, thank you, baby," I say with another peck on your cheek. "They're a set?" I ask.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

"I think they are," I tell you.

 

[celestialdragon]

"I'll wear them as such then," I say with a flirty smile.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

"Mmmm," I moan. "I can't wait."

 

[celestialdragon]

I giggle and smile. My mood has lifted, thanks to you. "Do the girls really talk about me?" I ask. I'm still incredulous about the fact.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

"Not all the time," I say. "But I heard Kaylee tell Riley how pretty you were, and Riley told her how she used to hate you, but always thought you were beautiful."

 

[celestialdragon]

I give a small smile. "Riley once told me I'm every high school teacher's worst nightmare and every college boy's dream."

 

[CarnivalBarker]

I think about that for a moment. "And probably the college boy's dad's dream," I agree.

 

[celestialdragon]

I smile and laugh. "I just really don't think of myself that way," I tell you.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

"Why not?" I ask.

 

[celestialdragon]

I smile my sad smile. "I just haven't really seen myself that way, especially after. . . well, what happened in high school. . . destroyed a lot of my self-esteem."

 

[CarnivalBarker]

"I'm sorry baby," I say, squeezing your hand. "I want you to know you're amazing. Sexy doesn't start to describe it."

 

[celestialdragon]

I smile and squeeze your hand back. "Thanks, baby." I say softly. I curl up in my seat and smile.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

I take you home before your class. "I don't have to be at work for a couple of hours," I say. "When do you go to school?"

 

[celestialdragon]

"In an hour or so, Ginger's giving out the review guides," I say.

 

[CarnivalBarker]

"Oh," I say, trying not to pout.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Why, sweetie?" I ask, seeing your playful pout.
