His Rose

*** I have been waiting for the summer to come to an end, and it finally has.  I just wish the heat would go away too. It is now August and classes start in a few days. I have been so excited to start my first day of freshman year and the best part about it is that I will not be alone. My twin sister is here with me and we get to share a dorm together! Our parents are taking us to the university dorms in the afternoon. Gosh, I feel so excited to start this new chapter of our lives together. “Hey… girls, almost done packing everything?” I heard my mom yell from downstairs. “Not quite.” My twin sister responded after she poked her head in my bedroom. She eyeballs me laying on my back and then jumps next to me in my queen bed. “How’s it going, Rose?” I sigh then turn over to face her. “Is it weird how excited I am to go, Daisy? But I also feel too anxious about it all!” The biggest smile pops on Daisy’s face. “Of course not! I feel the same way!” She reaches over and takes my hand in hers. “Don’t worry about it. We have each other.” I give her a smile at her response. “Alright, alright. Let’s get this show on the road!” I jump out of bed and grab the remainder of my bags before heading out. *** “I feel sorry for the both of you. Who did you manage to piss off this time Daisy?” I hear my dad laugh at the top of the stairs. My sister was always the troublemaker between us. “Why is it always me? Why not Rose? Huh?” “How could it be my angel Rose? Nonsense.” He could barely contain his laugh. “Eh, whatever. We all know this is not my fault, Dad. How dare they give us a room on the highest floor!?” “Honey, you look exhausted. Do you want to stop for a second and rest?” I could hear Daisy groaning at mother’s concerns. I turn around noticing Daisy and mom a few steps below me breathless. “Let’s keep going. We don’t have all day! We’re almost there and this is the last of the bags.” Dad says. “I’m not looking forward to moving this at the end of the semester.” Daisy yells out. “Maybe by then well find some strong good-looking men to help out.” She whispers in my ears, sending a wink my way. *** Mom and dad finally left after we settled everything. All we have left is to head to the campus for freshman kick-off. I can’t believe how fast everything is happening.   I’m deciding on what to wear for the event. I’m not sure what to pick. I’ve asked Daisy a few times for advice, but she’s now locked herself in her separate room. I decided on a lacey green fit and flare dress that reached a few inches above my knee with black flats and I left my brunette hair in their natural waves cascading down my back. Once I finished getting ready, I sat on the couch in the living room waiting for Daisy to come out. Its been about fifteen minutes now and we have 10 minutes left until the kick-off starts. I walked to Daisy’s bedroom door to knock again. “Are you almost done. We have 10 minutes left before the kick-off starts and we still have to walk to the campus.” The door finally opens and a stranger walk out of Daisy’s room. “Daisy, is that you?” “Don’t be so dramatic! I want to make an impression!” she slowly swings around with her arms in the air. “You look like a completely other person. I cannot even recognize you. I’m not sure this is the first impression you want to give people.” I tell her as I glance at her straight brunette hair, then a face full of heavy makeup, then I look down at the holographic halter top and her cleavage almost falling out through the hole on her top that stops above her belly button that reveals a piercing then mid-rise blue jeans that stop a few inches above her buttocks.   “Stop with the judgement at least it doesn’t look like I’m going to an interview.” She gives me the side eye before walking to the front door. I follow her out trying to catch up with her. “Daisy, wait! I did not mean for it to come out like that. I’m sorry.” I grabbed her elbow. “Whatever. It’s nothing. Lets just go before we're even later.” She smiles at me and I smile back. *** We finally made it to the kick-off just to be separated by our departments. I said my goodbyes and headed to the computer science group while daisy headed to the fine arts group. “Rose?” I heard my name being called on the attendance sheet. “Here!” Then I zoned out for the rest of the name callings. It was finally over, and we were headed somewhere new. “Rose? Was it?” I heard a deep voice ask. I turned around to see a slightly tall man with blonde hair and a slim figure with toned muscles. I nodded my head since it was my first time talking to someone this handsome. He let out a soft chuckle. “My name is Ian.” “Hi.” I muttered. I could feel my cheeks heat up, I was getting so nervous I could feel my hands shake. This was going to get embarrassing. He noticed my hand and gave me a gentle smile. “Do you already have your schedule set up?” “Oh, yes. Do you?” I asked. We started talking more about our classes on the way to the building. I found out we have almost identical schedules. He seems like such a gentleman; he even held the door open for me while we were going inside. We finally made it to a classroom. I sat next to Ian. For the next hour we went over rules, documents, filled paper out, and in between I got to know a little more about my new friend. *** The kick-off was over. Ian said his goodbyes to me after exchanging numbers. I found Daisy and we walked to our dorm together. “Guess what, Rose?” “yeah?” I asked Daisy as she opened the door to our dorm. “Guess who’s going to a party tonight!? Us, you and me together!” She screamed out for the rest of the hall to hear. “What? No! you know how I am. I have so much trouble talking to people! I’m so awkward!” I told her as I shut the door behind me. “Nothing a little booze won’t help.” She winked at me as she walked into the kitchen.    “Oh gosh, no, this is a bad idea!” I felt a wave of dread wash over me. “I won’t take no for an answer! We are definitely going! Everyone will be there. I heard the cheerleaders planned it all out!” I groaned as I fell over on the couch, wishing this day was over. “Don’t worry about anything, Rose! I found us a ride to and from! I also have the perfect outfits for us!” “Oh no! If I’m going, I’m picking my own outfit!” “That’s my girl!” *** We spent the rest of the evening picking out clothes and getting ready for tonight. I gave the address to Ian. Hopefully I see him there tonight. “What do you think?” I turned around and saw Daisy holding a black tight see through mesh dress. I wanted to tell her it was very revealing but then remembered our conversation earlier. I did not want to upset her again. “It’s lovely.” I smiled at her.   “Thank you! What did you decide on?” “I think I’m going to just go with a basic pair of jeans and a top.”  Her smile turned to a frown when she heard my response. I decided to just give in. “Fine give me something but nothing to revealing.” “YES!” She jumped up and ran to her closet. She came back with a flowy tiny yellow dress with floral print and open back in her hand. “Here, put this on.” I took the dress from her and changed into it. The dress was beautiful it hugged my breast and snugged my waist while flowing out to meet my mid-thigh. I placed a pair of white strap-on sandals and pulled my hair into a French braid on the top then let my waves flow out around my bare shoulders. I walked into Daisy’s room and she gave me a look of satisfaction. “One last touch.” She said as she used a coral lip gloss on my lips. “perfect.” *** We made it to the party. We passed by people outside making out and dry humping on the grass. “Goals by the end of the night.” I hear Daisy say. “What?” I looked at her and feel my eyes about to pop out. Daisy giggles grabs my hand and runs inside the house. She takes me to the table with drinks. She shoves a shot in my hand. “Drink this on three. One, two, … three!” and I feel a burn going down my throat and sitting warmly in my stomach. “What’s this. Having fun without me?” I feel my heartbeat at his voice. I turned around and saw Ian smiling down at me. “Who’s this Rose?” Daisy screamed over the loud music. “This is Ian. Ian, this is my twin Daisy.” “Nice to meet you.” “Another round!” Daisy screamed. She shoved another shot in my hand and Ian’s, “One, two, three!” And we threw it back. It’s been an hour into the party, and we decided to go outside. I grab on to Ian’s arm to help me walk out to the backyard. There's a pool with people jumping in, a beer pong table on the side, and an outdoor patio. “Do you want to play?” I hear daisy ask me. “Sure. How do you play?” “I’ll teach you.” She says as she grabs my hand and leads me to the beer pong table. It feels like 30 minutes has passed playing this game, but I am pretty sure that’s the alcohol in me talking. It is my first-time drinking. “Do you see that guy over there on the patio with a beer in his hand?” my sister whispers in my ear. I turned to see the patio. It was not hard to tell who she was talking about. He had dirty blonde wavy hair that stopped at his ears and forehead and the lower part was cut short. He was tall, tan, and big with muscles, covered in tattoos. He was dressed in a white thermo long sleeve with blue jeans. I nodded my head to my sister.  “I want him.” I heard her whisper in my ear again. Obviously, she wants him look at that s*x on a stick. Okay, I think I am getting a little too drunk. “Should I go try to talk to him?” “Okay.” I whisper while not taking my eyes off him. He turns towards us and smirks. I could feel a heartbeat somewhere other than my heart. Next thing you know I see my sister walking towards him. I wish I could be more like my sister when it came to men.  “Rose, are you done playing beer pong?” I turn around to see Ian smiling down at me.  “yeah, I think so.” I mumble. I looked back at Daisy to notice her hand run down the s*x on a stick's arm. “Would you like to come with me to dip my legs in the pool?”  I could see the dirty blonde hair man start to notice Daisy rubbing on him. He looked down at her and said something.  "Rose?"  "Hmm?" I turned my back to my sister to pay attention to Ian. "Yes?" I looked down to see him offering me his hand. I looked back into his eyes. "Let's dip our legs." He pointed to the pool. I nodded my head and took his arm. He guided me to the pool and the water felt refreshing when it touched my legs. Daisy popped next to me out of nowhere. She was pouting. “What happened?” I asked her. “Someone is playing hard to get.” She kicked the water creating a splash. "Let's drink the night away!" She shoved red party cups in the hands of Ian and me. "Come on guys! Drink up!" Everyone around us chanted chugg chugg chugg until we drank every last drop in that red cup. "I'll be right back!" Daisy jumped from the floor to run inside the house.  "Is she always this exciting?"  "I've never really seen this side of her."  "I see. Are you having fun, Rose?" "This is my first party. I'm still trying to take everything in." I smiled at him. Right after a beer was shoved in my face. I grabbed it and looked up to see Daisy shoving a beer to Ian too.  "Let's drink up!" I looked over my shoulder and notice the guy she was trying to talk to is no where to be found.  "Where did you go?" I asked her.  "I went to go find someone." She winked at me.  We sat there talking talking for a while. I felt like I was finally sobering up. “Hey guys, I’m going to head inside and go to the restroom. I’ll be back.” I walked inside and tried to find the closes restrooms but there was so many doors. I finally decided to open one and it was a bedroom. There were two people going at it in the bed. “Sorry!” I squeaked and slammed the door closed.  I opened another door a few rooms down and it was another bedroom. I noticed an outline of someone going through the clothes of a drawer. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to intrude.” The person didn’t respond. I really had to go. “Do you know where I can find a restroom?” The person took a few steps towards me. “Yeah, I have one in here.” A deep voice said. I heard foot step walking towards me. He stepped close enough that I could tell he was the man from outside. The s*x on a stick. He walked past me to turn on the light. I turned towards him and I noticed his lips were full.  “Use mine.” He said while nodding to his restroom. “Thanks.” I mumbled under my breath, but I could not stop looking at his lips.  "Do you like what you see?" A smirked formed on his face. I could tell he was amused by the look in his crystal blue eyes.  "Ahh, I don't know what you mean." I looked away from him and tried to laugh it off. I hope he does not see how embarrassed I am.  "Are you a freshman?" I looked back to see the smirk still on his face.  "How can you tell?"  "It's obvious." His smirk turned into a gentle smile causing my eyes to fall on his lips again. "Are you?"  "Oh, no. I'm a junior." He takes a few steps towards me. "If you keep staring like that, I'm going to start thinking you came in here for another reason." "I don't know what you're talking about." I looked down to his shoes. I coughed clearing my throat up out of awkwardness. "I'm just going to head to your restroom and I'll be out of here before you know it." The next thing I know I was shoved to the wall. He pressed his lips over mine. His hips thrusted into mine. His hands grabbed my hips trying to bring me closer to his body. It was my first kiss.  I turned my face to the side to breathe. His lips moved to kiss, lick, and suck up and down my neck. I could hear my moans echoing throughout the room. I grabbed a handful of his soft wavy hair. Someone was knocking from a distance. I turned my face towards the door, escaping the haze in my mind but then he grabbed my chin and started kissing me again. His tongue brush against my lower lip.  The knocks were getting louder, someone was asking for a Keith. I pushed his chest away to create space. I looked up into his blue eyes and for a moment I could feel myself getting lost in them.  Then I heard a girl ask again for a Keith from the other side of the door. I pushed him away again this time he budged. I looked down at the floor as my fingertips touched my swollen lips.  “I..I don’t know what’s gotten into me.” I looked up at him to see confusion in his eyes with a hint of worry. "I have to go." “Wait.” He said from behind me. I felt fingertips brush my elbow when I opened the door to find someone in a cheerleading outfit. I left in a hurry before anything else could happen. I found Daisy and Ian still at the pool. “Daisy, let’s go.” Daisy looked up at me. “sure thing.” She stood up from the edge of the pool to stand next to me. “Bye Ian. I’ll see you in class” I put on my best smile and waved. I felt a whispered in my ear. “Your lip gloss is a mess by the way.” I laughed hesitantly while walking out of the house with her. I had survived my first party.
