Studio Madness

-Luke-

I stood in the hallway outside of the dorm room and waited for Kailin. I swear I could have been standing there for thirty minutes, but when I checked the time I had only been there for five. As I waited for her one of the newer girls walked by and caught my attention.

“Hey,” I said and she stopped at smiled up at me.

“Oh, hi!” She replied as she brushed some of her rainbow hair out of her eyes.

“Chanel, right?” I asked, I knew it was her name, but I knew how to handle girls.

“Yeah, and it’s Luke,” she replied. I nodded and took in her features. Her eyes were brown, like a coffee brown and her smile was big. She had a lip ring on the left side of her bottom lip and she was petite. Of course, all the girls here were small but, she had a certain air about her that was calming.

“I hope I don’t freak you out when I do this,” I said putting my hand on her cheek and touching her lip ring with my thumb. She stiffened underneath my hand, but then relaxed. I watched as a smile formed on her lips and I couldn’t hold the one that formed on my back.

Then, I heard the slamming of a door and the patter of heels on the floors and I dropped my hand. Kailin came up by us and cleared her throat.

“Buonanotte Chanel,” I said to her before winking and taking Kailin’s hand in mine and walking down the hall.

“What was all that about?” Kailin asked me. I shrugged it off and continued down the hall.

“What took you so long? And why are you so dressed up?” I asked taking in the red dress, stockings and heels.

“I was getting pretty!” She exclaimed stopping in her tracks. I sighed, slightly annoyed, and turned to face her.

“Baby, you’re more than pretty,” I said putting a hand in her hair and nearing my face to hers, “But, if we take any longer, our food will get cold,” I said and I felt her shiver. I took her hand in mine again and went into an empty room and out to a balcony I had discovered while roaming around.

She gasped at the sight of the cheesy candle lit dinner and then the sight of the sun setting in the distance. I smiled in success and pulled out her chair to have her sit down. After she sat, I poured water into her glass and then set a glass of wine beside it.

“How did you--” She began to ask as she took in the smell of the wine.

“I have my ways,” I replied with a grin and a wink. She blushed and smiled back before taking a sip. I pulled the cover off her plate and it revealed the spaghetti that I took the time to make myself.

Being Italian, you learn as a young man how to flatter a girl. I’ve been taught by my mother what girls like and what they don’t. I’ve grown to realize that girls like it when guys cook, and also being Italian, you learn how to cook the best Italian dishes.

I sat down and took the cover off my plate and set the napkin in my lap. I took my wine glass in my hand and raised it in a toast, “To a wonderful dinner with a wonderful girl.”

She smiled and we touched glasses as and then we dug in.

Kailin sat on the stone railing of the balcony and I put the dishes in the bag that I had brought when I was setting up. The candles were burn more than half way and I walked over to her.

Whenever I serve wine, I never serve more than one glass. Reasons of my first few dinners in my younger teen years are proof that most girls can’t hold their liquor.

I stood between her legs and put my hands on her cheeks. I kept her eyes locked with mine and neared my face to hers. I let one hand drop and rested it on her exposed thigh. I felt her breath quicken and smiled slightly while I stroked her thigh. She straightened so her face was closer to mine and then I closed the space between us and kissed her.
