Lessons Learned I

I was at Joseph's dorm, since there really wasn't anything better to do. Rachel was downtown with Alex, trying to hide from Adam, and everyone else had homework.

"I saw Alex's lover earlier," Joseph snickered.

"Ivy? She enjoys stalking him."

"She got a video camera last week to film him in the shower."

"Oh, God! You'd better warn him."

"Naw, I wanna see this thing go down."

"Such a pervert," I sighed.

He scoffed.

"Pervert?!"

"Admit it, you wanna see footage of Alex washing himself off."

"I don't ride in the Rainbow Taxi, sorry."

I snickered.

"That's a new one."

He grinned.

"I came up with it. Ain't I clever?" he said in a redneck voice.

"Yeah, especially for someone who sounded like a redneck!"

A smirk spread across his face.

"You know you love it."

"Not really."

He sat a little closer to me on the bed.

"The redneck thing turns you on, admit it."

I gave him an odd look.

"Yes, so very much," my voice was etched with sarcasm.

"You know what would be a blast?" he whispered in my ear.

"Wh-What?"

"Something along these lines..." his fingers tilted my chin up as his mouth covered mine.

I closed my eyes, feeling his right hand reach behind my head. His lips were soft and unchapped, a decent break from the last person whom I kissed. He gently sucked my top lip as he sat a little closer. I placed my left hand on the side of his face, letting my thumb stroke his cheek softly. His tongue poked in my mouth, gently grazing my bottom lip and flicking over the tip of my own tongue. After a few moments I pulled away.

"I, um," I mumbled in a strange daze. "I sh-should probably go."

He sat there with a boyish smirk on his face.

"Alright."

"See you later..."

"See you tomorrow." He kissed my lips gently, then sat up. I stood up quickly.

"S-See ya." I hurried out of his dorm, feeling my cheeks grow hotter by the second.
