Bittersweet Love

by Davids, Jesse

  Allison knocked on the door; her roommate opened the door slowly trying to focus her eyes. “Are you done?” Will loudly blurted out, not caring about anyone surrounding him. “Umm, who are you?” Her roommate, Bianca, stared Allison down from head to toe. “I’m your room mate.” Allison rudely, with an attitude replied, turning Will on like a candle. “Oh right, they told me you’d be coming, just didn't think it would be this soon, sorry.”

  Bianca smiled nervously and opened the door as Will went to get her bags from his dorm. “So, I’m Bianca, nice to meet you.” Bianca seemed sincere, Allison started to laugh. “I wish I didn't meet you with your ass in my face, I'm Allison.” Allison reached over for a hand shake, as she took a short tour of the dorm she’ll be spending most of her time in.

  Will barged in with her bags making it clear that he will be around for the remainder of the year. “Allison, if she gives you any problems, I'm right next door.” Will left with a dramatic exit leaving his presence lingering in the air.

  “That’s my new friend, literally met him 30 minutes ago.” Allison started to giggle in wonder. “Did you fuck him yet? If you didn't then you should, I fuck all my friends to see if they have what it takes to be with me.” Bianca, with no remorse blabs out her personal life, spilling like a bathtub filled with blood into Allison’s ears.

  I have a crazy bitch as a roommate, that’s just fucking great to start off my New York life style.

  Allison settled in on her side of the room, making it perfectly clear not to step over the imaginary red line with any of Bianca’s so called ‘friends’. “Bianca, I’m going to get something to eat, do you want anything?” Allison politely asked, making the first move as a college roommate. “No, I'm okay, thank you.” Bianca lifted her head, and then back down into the magazine she was reading. Swimming in the dirty words and pictures displayed in the playboy magazine;

  Al right, fuck you too then.

  Allison walked out and closed the door. Passing Will’s dorm she stopped, contemplating on asking him to go with her, for she was new to the campus. Allison knocked on the door twice, but no head slowly creeping out the door to surprise her; she couldn't help but feel lonely.

  “So, this is what it looks like.” Will stood on the stage, looking down at the empty dance floor. Trying to imagine how it would feel like to be an actual DJ. He connected his cellphone through Bluetooth to listen to the sound of the speakers. He ran to the middle of the hall. “Al right, let’s see.” Scrolling through his music playlist he came across a daring song. With no patience he clicked it, his head started to nod back and forth, resembling a chicken’s head.

  Wills arms began to do weird wave like movements, he felt every beat. Studying what the people would love and need at the same time. His heart beat fell perfectly in sync with the music that came rolling out of the speakers. Will closed his eyes blocking out all the bullshit the world has been throwing at him for the past couple of years.

  Subtle in his own form of nature, he felt at peace in the environment he has created for himself.

  Allison walked past the music hall heading to the cafeteria, and heard music echoing through the walls. It made her curious to see the inevitable. Allison walked up the stairs and opened the door slowly, only to see Will standing in the middle of the hall trying to bust a move to Michael Jackson’s music.

  A loud bang went off, jolting Allison to the core. The door slammed closed, as Will stopped the music out of surprise. “I challenge you to a dance off, unless you're too wussy of course.” Will said, stated exactly what he wanted, raising one eyebrow for intimidation purposes. Allison thought about it for a second and started to walk up to Will. “Al right, show me what you got boy.”

  Allison ready to school Will at his own game, and hopefully to put him to shame. Will slid his fitted cap to the back. “That’s what I'm talking about; do you have a song in mind?” He asked.

  “Anything would do, I just need to teach you a lesson or two.” Allison giggled, being over thrown by Will’s weird yet perfect nature. It intrigued her. “Do you know Earth, Wind, and Fire?” Will stood there in anticipation, hoping she knows them. “Bring it on.” Allison’s vast knowledge of music was soon to be revealed to Will.

  The song started to play, as freedom began to flow between the two, making space for the greatest show down of their lives. “Let’s groove baby.” Will bluntly states, waiting for her to make the first move.

  Will took a step back, with one foot in front of the other as he began to clap his hands above his head; taking them back to the 80’s, the era of dancing. Allison pointed at him, slowly walking around him. The beat dropped as both of them showed each other what they got, dance moves never before seen to the naked eye.

  Will humped the air as his special move, moving exactly to the rhythm of the music. Allison moved her body, hypnotizing Will into a state of unconsciousness. He snapped out of it, trying to regain the ground that he lost. Allison being far superior moved her hips from left to right getting Will in a constant daze, making him look like a mannequin without limbs. Will kept trying and trying to regain his composure until the music stopped.

  Out of breathe they both fell to the ground, laughing at each other’s dance moves. “You win; I don't have shit on what you got.” Will panted furiously, laughing non-stop. “Thank you, but hey you got some good moves too.” Allison shyly responded, avoiding the spot light on the new girl. “You are very fun to be around; your man is a lucky guy.” Will, without thinking, asks her a question indirectly that he's been dying to figure out ever since he met her. “No, I'm not taken.” Allison blushed within her sweater.

  Will leaned to the back in confusion, with his arms supporting his weight. “What do you mean?” He couldn't understand, nor comprehend what she just said. “I am single.” Allison repeated, trying to make it clear to Will she doesn't have a lover, and with no intention of finding one either. “Well, that’s not all bad.” Will spoke, rushing up the stage to turn the equipment off. “Why do you say that?” Allison asks, curious to what he has to say.

  “Well, if I were you, I’d stay single. There’s no such thing as love anymore, just fake promises, cheating, and lying. However! If you do want a relationship that would last, you have to feel the person inside. Your outer looks don't mean shit in a relationship, only to the horny bastards that don't care about your emotions, or feelings.” Will spoke like he figured out the meaning of life as we know it; “Is that how you look at life Mr. Baker?” Allison stood up waiting for him to come back.

  “No, but that’s what I know. I’m an orphan, and how lucky I am to be here, or even how lucky I just got to dance with someone as beautiful as you, I will never know. Fate plays a huge role on how you perceive life today Ms. Forest. Look at it as if we are two atoms that got separated when the big bang happened, and now some fucked up law in the book called physics brought us back together, but that’s just a coincidence don't you think?” Will spoke, walking slowly towards her.

  “It all depends what you want to believe in, inside or out. You can be beautiful on the outside but what’s inside of you; that’s what counts. As a matter of fact it was always like that, until some men tried to figure out a way to have it both ways, and that my friend, is how this world became a complete shit storm.”

  Will stood in front of her face, making it hard for her to breathe. “Think about it.” His soft subtle tone came out.

  Allison amazed at how he talked, how deeply he thinks. “Barely any man today wants a stable relationship, but the ones who do get looked down upon. Those are the men that get used by the high and mighty women, hopefully thinking they wouldn’t get hurt by them. Sadly they are using the only men left that could ever love a woman. Using them won’t be of your best interest, because there are more women than men on this earth today.” Will opened the door for her to walk out. “I hope I'm making sense to you.” Will chuckled, hopefully he didn't sound too crazy to her.

  “Actually, I completely agree with y
ou, and maybe I should stay single.” Allison walked backwards, looking at Will, trying to figure him out. “Do you want to have lunch with me?” Allison intertwined her hands, asking Will with sparkly blue eyes. “Yeah, I was just going to grab something to eat myself.” Will chuckled as they walked through the passage way.

  “So, do you like the campus so far? What major are you studying for anyway?” Will curiously wanting to know, hopefully it was the same class as his. “Well, I’m only here for the rest of the year then I'm done, and to answer your question yeah I like the campus so far, it’s really pretty. I study Social Science.” Allison responded, delighted that he wants to know more about her, for she felt the same way. “That’s really cool, are you planning on being a social worker?” He asked. “Yes, I am, how did you know?” Allison’s eyes got a little bit wider from suspicion.

  “I can read people very well I guess.” Will chuckled as he knew he guessed it, not knowing a thing that he's talking about. “You didn't tell me where you're from, or anything for that matter.” Allison bumped into Will by accident, thinking she was going to step on a dead cockroach. “Are you okay?” Will held her arm softly, making sure she won’t trip. “Yeah, thanks.” Allison giggled as her center of gravity felt like it’s being lifted slowly.

  “I’m from Alaska, that’s all I can say. I don't trust you yet.” Will raised his eyebrow, trying to make her feel not worthy. “Al right, when will I have your trust?” Allison saw Will as a puzzle, trying to figure him out could take a long time. “Well, maybe by the end of the year. Depending on our friendship and what not, if I can actually really trust you with my life story.” Will felt some pride in his life story, for no one’s life could be this unique to an extent for a greater purpose in life itself. “Challenge accepted, and same here. I think that’s a good idea. Getting to know you first before I completely let you in.” Allison agreed fully on the terms Will settled down on the table.

  After 15 minutes of talking, walking, and laughing, they finally arrived at the cafeteria. Allison went to sit by a table, making sure their spot is secure.

  What am I doing? This girl can’t go through the same thing Athena will go through. Strictly friends Will nothing more, nothing less.

  “Okay, now just stick to the plan.” Will whispered softly to himself, confirming his next moves. A man standing in front of him slowly turns his head to Will. “What plan?” The man whispers back, his gender preference said men all over his face. “Oh, nothing, I was just talking to myself.” Will scratched his head, trying to figure out how he heard him. “If you ever want to talk to me, you’ll know where to find my ass.” The man said.

  The man giggled into his flamboyant scarf. “Can you just order please, it’s your turn.” Will tried quickly to end the conversation with this weird man he just met, it made him feel uncomfortable in every way possible. The man turned his head to the lunch lady slowly. “Can I have a cock-meat sandwich?”

  The man turned his head back to Will, with lustful eyes piercing Will’s manhood. Will felt gay for that sudden moment, astonished in many ways as no gay person has ever tried to approach him in such a manner; Will stood in silence for 10 seconds, trying to comprehend what just happened. The man turned back to the lunch lady. “Just give me a hand sandwich.” He demanded.

  “Your friend left.” The lunch lady rudely interrupted him. He turned around and saw Will grabbing Allison’s hand, quickly vacating the premises.

  “Hey, is everything okay?” Allison being rushed by Will quickly noticed a panicked expression on his face. “I just got hit on.” Will spoke rushing, trying to get away from the cafeteria as fast as possible. Allison felt offended, as she felt an unexplainable pang in her chest. “What did she say?” Allison curious enough to kill a thousand cats asked. “It was a man.”

  Will answered briefly giving no details, hoping to himself he won’t be scarred after this episode. “No fucking way.” Allison laughed her lungs dry, choking in the middle of it. “Yeah, it’s funny until it happens to you.” Will chuckled, laughing it off as they walked further. “But, what are we going to eat?” Allison stopped dead in her tracks, for she hasn't eaten the whole day. “Fuck that place, we can take my car and go to a restaurant far from here, if you don't mind.”

  Allison began to walk again, as that was not such a bad idea. “I didn't know you have a car.” “Technically, it’s me and my friend’s car, but he's not here right now.” Will chuckled softly throwing the keys he took out of his pocket up and down. They quickly made their way to the parking lot. “Do you know how to drive?” Will baffled Allison by his question, hoping that he won’t let her drive. “Yeah, but I’m sure driving here is much different from driving in Washington.”

  Allison securely made her way into the passenger’s seat. “You can play music if you want.” Will offered softly while getting in the car. Allison played some of her favorite music as Will started the car and took off. She made him drive more slowly, with more patience filling him every second he's with her. He enjoyed every second they spent together.

  “Still can’t believe you are single though, just saying.” Will looked over to her with quizzical eyes, trying to figure it out just as much as she’s trying to figure him out as well. They saw it as a challenge and took it without thinking of any consequences.

  Chapter 10

  Holding her tightly in his arms, as he spooned her throughout the night; the smell of sweet curves woke Daniel up, lifting his head, he saw the silk linen perfectly exposing every curve on her body. Falling neatly in place; he put his hand on her ass, slowly moving it up towards her hips, making his way to her breasts as he held one firmly. Athena opened her eyes, feeling safe within Daniel’s arms. She turned her head, and kissed him passionately on his lips. “Good morning, how did you sleep princess?” He said.

  Daniel looked down at her with one arm supporting his head. “Good morning, I slept fine. What about you my prince?” Athena smiled shyly and turned her body towards him, resting her head by his chest. “You’re here so it couldn't get any better than this.” Daniel with a sincere face moved her hair out of her face.

  Daniel placed his hand on her cheek, and made her look at him. “What had happened last night baby?” He asked with an open heart, truly concerned about her. “It was just a dream sweetheart, it’s nothing really, and I also don't remember most of it.” “You promise you’d tell me as soon as you remember?” Daniel raised his eyebrow, serious about the topic, as he wanted to know every little detail that bothered her. “Yes, baby I promise.” Athena smiled and hugged him tightly, as she got on top of him. She grabbed his hands and held them down.

  “Do you like what you see?” Athena asked a suspicious question while her breasts were dangling in front of Daniel’s face. “I don't like them, I love them.” Daniel chuckled as he tried to lift his head to kiss at least one of them. “Who has been a good boy?” She uttered. “Let me guess, me?” Daniel laughed as he still tried to nibble on her nipples.

  Athena quickly lowered her breasts onto Daniel’s neck, wiggling them furious as it tickled him so much. “Hey, come on let me get some nipple action.” Daniel pleaded in a cute soft tone, making it hard for Athena to resist. “Fine, only one nipple.” She lowered them once more, as Daniel quickly latched onto her nipple, sucking it with full force sending shivers down Athena’s spine. She pulled her nipple out if his mouth after 5 seconds. “Don’t pull it out like that.” Daniel shyly states wanting more.

  “You’ll get more when you take me out today.” Athena in control of every decision Daniel is about to make. “I was thinking of something more peaceful today, no shopping, or driving; maybe some walking.” Daniel made it unclear, for again he wanted it to be a surprise. “Al right, I trust you.” She said.

  Athena got up and walked to the bathroom, visibly showing off her curves. The black thong perfectly aligned in the middle of her ass, had Daniel’s penis going insane for more of her. Daniel rushed up with a boner, slowly walking behind her.

  “Do you want some breakfast baby? We can order from the hotels food I read it’s not bad at all.” Athena sat in her night gown on the living room sofa looking through the menu. Daniel walked out with only his briefs on, clearly showing the outline of his penis. “Sure, do they have good breakfast? You made me so hungry last night.” Daniel confessed to her that his sexual appetite always made him hungry. “Yeah, they do actually, so what do you think?” Athena laid her head down on Daniels shoulder. “Sure, I’ll call them real quick.” Daniel got up and headed to the bedroom, he noticed the telephone was next to Athena’s side of the bed so he hurriedly went there. He dialed 0 and waited for someone to answer hesitantly. “Hello, this is the reception.” A vulgar tone jumped out of the telephone, reminding Daniel of an Italian mob movie he watched with Will in their deepest of times. “Good morning, I would like to order breakfast.” Daniel snapped out of the mini flashback. “Okay, what do you want to eat?” The man rudely replied monotonously. “2 English breakfasts with 2 orange juice please, and the room number is 69.” Daniel tried to boost the man’s confidence, changing his tone to a happier version of an Italian mob boss. “Okay.” The man ended the call.
