THE MANY IN BETWEEN

New School

-Charles-

I waited until they pulled out of the driveway so I would be able to reverse back into the spot I was in. As she drives by me, I cant help but look in to see if I can get a glimpse of her before she drives away. I never thought this would happen to me after what happened with Celine. I didn't think someone would catch my eye like Cassie had. Or think I would be flirting with any women I meet.

Cassie is a sight to see. Beautiful dark curls down her back, with the lightest big brown eyes I could loose myself in. The way she looked up at me made my heart skip a beat. Those lips, nice and plump, almost asking to be devoured. Cassie was gorgeous, but I needed to shake her out of my mind. I'm here for school, I thought.

After Celine, I swore to stay away from any and all women until I finished my studies. She really did a number on me. We dated for about a year, for her to turn around and tell me she was only with me because she felt bad. Telling me she didn't like me in that way. She knew I was falling hard for her. I would do anything and everything she asked. To just toss me to the side.

Though she didn't like me in that way, or so Celine said, she was always messing with me. Flirting with me and kissing me when other women try to talk to me. Threaten them to leave me alone. The worst part was she would try flirting with my team mates to try and make me jealous, but it didn't work. At first I was confused about why she would kiss me, but then I realized she was just playing me. Telling her friends I was so in love with her, I would still do anything for her if she gave me attention. Man was she wrong! When I saw her flirt with my boy, Jason, that was it. I didn't want her to even get near me.

So I applied to KU with my boys and got accepted. Moved out here that same week after convincing the dean to let us come early and finish out the year. I'm here for football, but I was accepted on an academic scholarship. So I need to keep my mind on that, but I can see it's gonna be hard with her across the street.

A loud bang breaks me from my thoughts. Looked at the time and it was already 8:20am. Jason looked at me with a grin on his face and asked , "Are you going to move it or stay daydreaming?" I flicked him off and put the truck in reverse. He stepped aside as I reversed the truck into the spot I had before. When I walked over to Jason, he still had that grin on his face. "What?" I asked. "So I see you met our neighbors. They are pretty hot. Especially that blonde. Did you get their names? Phone numbers? What school do they go to?" He replies. I folded my arms in front of my chest, c****d my head to the side, and said "No I didn't, if you were so interested why didn't you go up to the blonde? You could have asked her all that yourself. Oh yeah, because you're a woosy." I chuckled in amusement. He just stood there with his mouth agape, stuttering, trying to figure out a comeback, but I don't think he had one.

In all the years I have known Jason, the women he has dated have always made the first move. He gets flustered and stutters when he tries to make a move. He looks at me and shakes his head. "Always making fun of me and my stutter. As soon as I no longer stutter, it's over. I'm going to have so many women. They're gonna be calling me slick tongue daddy!!" He exclaims as he wiggles his eyebrows. "You mean s-ss-sslick m-mmouth da-da-daddy", I responded with a grin as he walked toward the back of the truck. Jason whipped his head my way with a hurt look in his eyes. "OK, OK, that was the last one my bad. I promise." I said as I got near the truck opening. "Whatever man, you'll see how many mamitas I will have this year; new school, new me bro. I'm gonna start with the blond across the street." He said as he climbed up on to the truck to move things toward me. I rolled my eyes at him.

We quickly started unloading the rest of the truck so we could drop it off at the U-haul store. The other trucks the guys had already turned in and this was the last one before we lost our deposit. They were all supposed to be at the store by 9:00 am and it was already 8:45 am. After unloading everything, I give the keys to one of the guys while I go shower and get ready for class. I might just make it to the first class after all. A little late but we will make it. Thankfully, our cars arrived before we did with the moving trucks. Otherwise we wouldn't have made it to school. Jason got in with me while the other guys got in the suv's. We all decided to only bring three cars since there isn't that much parking in front of the house. So I brought my Ford, and two of the guys brought their Escalades. That way we weren't all crowded up in one.
