Chapter 2: Project: Boyfriend (ch.2)
I wake up in the morning to the sound of my alarm. I enjoy my usual eggs and toast before getting dressed and heading to the campus gym. I spend the rest of the day wasting time waiting for the date with Emma tonight.
My phone buzzes. A text from Emma
"Dress nice! See you soon!"
I put on nice pants and a button-down shirt and make my way through campus to her dorm building. It's a warm evening, for Colorado at least. The sky is beginning to dim as the sun begins its nightly routine. I make my way up to her floor and walk down the hall to her door. It's partly open. I knock and there's no response. My heart rate speeds up, could someone have broken in?
I push the door open and quietly make my way into the dorm. Nothing looks awry, no broken furniture or anything indicating a thief. I glance down the hall and hear quiet music coming from a closed door. I breathe a sigh of relief and am about to turn away to wait for her when the door opens and she walks out.
She's stunning. Her hair is lightly curled, and it falls over her bare shoulders like a golden river. She's wearing an elegant, but simple, light blue dress that highlights her beauty. A light smile dances its way across her face as she notices me.
"Do you often break into people's dorms?" she asks with a teasing tone.
"Do you often leave your door wide open? I was just..." I trail off.
"Just what?"
"I don't know, I guess I was worried about you."
She doesn't say anything, instead she walks towards me. She places her hand lightly on my chest and looks up at me. "Thank you, for caring."
She can feel my heart racing, I know she can. "Maybe chivalry isn't dead?"
She laughs and walks past me towards the door. "We'll see."
"Where are we going?" I ask.
"We have reservations at BOKA."
"Wow, how'd you get those?"
"Luck! They said that there was a last-minute opening."
It's a short walk and subway ride to reach downtown, and it doesn't take us long to get to the restaurant. I offer her my arm as we enter, and she takes it. We arrive at our table and she gives my arm a gentle squeeze before sitting down opposite from me.
The food is great, and we have a wonderful time. I pay for our meal and we make our way back outside. It's getting cold and without the streetlights, the world would be completely dark. Since its a Saturday the streets are far from empty, and the subway ride home is close to crowded. Emma rests her head on my shoulder and shuts her eyes while we wait for our stop. She takes my hand as we leave the subway and doesn't let go until we stand outside of her door.
She faces me, her back to the door and says with a smile "I really enjoyed that."
"Me too." I say. I know I'm supposed to say something else, to invite her out again or something but my mind runs empty. Before I can stop myself my hand is on her waist pulling her a step closer to me. "Can I-" I break off. "May I kiss you?" It's a simple question, but it takes all of my will to let the words escape my mouth.
She doesn't break eye contact and nods slightly. I gently put my hand on her chin and fit my lips to hers. Her skin is warm and I can just feel the line of moisture on her bottom lip where her lip ends and her mouth starts.
She gently pulls away, ending the kiss. Her face is flushed and she nearly drops her keys when she turns around to open her door. She steps inside and looks back at me, pausing in the doorway. "Have a good night, Finn."
Then she's gone, door closed. I'm walking out of the bulding when my phone buzzes. It's her.
"Movie tomorrow at 8? How about your dorm this time?"
"Okay!" I grin and put my phone back in my pocket, then make my way home.

In preparation for tonight, I walk to Target and get an assortment of snacks. Then I spent a while cleaning up. I'm not normally a messy person, but I hadn't had a chance to clean after the midterm rush. With the dorm clean, I get to work making dinner. My mom taught me how to make chicken alfredo, and it's my go-to dish. The food is done and steaming on the counter at 7:55. I'm washing my hands when I hear a knock. I quickly dry them and run over to the door and open it.
"Hey!" She says. She's wearing a baggy t-shirt and shorts that barely peek out.
"Hi" I motion for her to come in, then I shut the door behind her.
"Did you cook something? What smells good?" She grabs my hand and walks towards the kitchen.
"I just didn't know if you'd eaten yet so I thought I would make something..." I trail off.
She turns back to me, "Thank you, I haven't eaten dinner yet sooo."
"Well, it's ready. If you want to go to the living room, I'll get our plates."
"No, it's okay I'll help you."
"Really, it's okay." She doesn't leave me, but I still get our plates and head to the sofa. I set them on the coffee table and sit down on the sofa. She sits next to me, close enough that her thigh presses against mine. I turn on a movie and we eat in silence for a little while.
"You made this?" She asks. I nod. "It's really good."
"Thanks." I say.
She sets her plate down and leans back into the sofa. I put my plate down as well. We sit for a minute just watching the movie. I say a little hesitantly, "Do you wanna, like, come here?" I open my arm, inviting her. She smiles and moves so she's pressed against my side, her head on my chest. I put my arm over her, holding her close. We stay like this for a while, my heart eventually calms down and I trace circles on her arm and hand.
She sits up a little, "I'm a little sleepy."
"Oh, do you want me to walk you home?" I ask, a little dejectedly.
She bites her lip, "No, I umm... wanted to ask if I could just stay over?"
I don't say anything for a moment, stunned. "Yeah, no. I mean yes, you definitely can."
"Oh good!" She reaches and kisses my cheek, then my neck. "Can I run to your restroom really quick?" She asks.
"Yeah, do you want me to show you? It's just down the hall on the left."
"Okay, be right back."
She gets up and goes down the hall, the door shuts and locks. I stand as well and grab a blanket from my room. I get back before her and scroll tiktok for a minute, waiting for her.
I hear the door open and look down the hall. She walks back over, I move to let her sit next to me, but she shakes her head. "Is something wrong?" I ask. I start to stand but she puts a hand on my chest and pushes me back down. "Just stay there." she says. "Close your eyes."
"Why-" I start, but she puts a finger to her lips. "Just trust me silly." I oblige and close my eyes.
The first thing I feel is her hands on my shoulders, then her knees shifting the couch as she gets on. Then her soft butt as she straddles me. Her hands move from my shoulders to my face, she tilts it up towards her and presses her lips to mine. I grab her waist and pull her closer against me, burying my head in her neck. I kiss her collarbone then I gently kiss and suck on her neck.
A small gasp escapes her lips and she presses the back of my head closer to her. Her hands find the hem of my shirt and she pulls it off. I pull away from her neck and look at her. Her eyes dont meet mine at first, but when they do, she grins and kisses me again. Our lips part and the kiss deepens.
After a while she gently pulls away, her shirt is damp with our sweat, and I can't imagine what my hair looks like. Her cheeks are bright pink and she's still smiling. "Can you just hold me until I'm asleep?" She asks. "On the sofa? Or would you like to go to my bedroom." "Here's fine." She says, and grabs the blanket I set out earlier.
I lay down and she lays next to me. My arm is around her and she rests her head in the crook of my neck. I stroke her hair and pull the blanket tightly around us. She moves closer to me and puts her arm over my chest.
