Chase
Holy shit I wish I would have met Allys roommate the minute she told me about her. After she pulls me back through the crowded party, well more like I carry her drunken ass, she stops at the most gorgeous, sexy, beautiful girl I’ve ever seen. In my life. It was like a scene straight out of a movie when I saw her, all noise around me ceased to exist and time seemed to move in slow motion as Ally dragged me closer and closer towards this beautiful girl who had her eyes locked on mine. She looks a little exotic with her dark hair, gray eyes, and smooth olive skin. And her body. She’s probably about as tall as my 12 year old sister, maybe a little over five feet tall but she definitely has a lot more going on then my prepubescent sister with curves in all the right places and a very nice rack. Keep your eyes on her face, eyes on the face Chase. I don’t need to look like one of those jackasses who drool over a set of boobs like a freakin’ dog.
After helping Ally up the stairs of the apartment complex and making sure she got in to her bed alright I headed down the hallway and watched her click away on her laptop in the kitchen. She really was beautiful and had an intense look about her like she carried the weight of the world on her shoulders.
The minute I touched her bare shoulder I could feel how soft her skin was and I didn’t want to move my hand away even though I scared the shit out of her. I wonder if Ally told her about me, she didn’t really seem to know who I was especially when she offered me a ride. A smile creeps on my face as I picture the innocent expression on her face.
I pull out my guitar to work on a few lyrics of a song I came up with. That’s kind of my role in the band. Being an English major I love to write poetry. But if I were to confess that to any guy that would definitely make me a pussy. So instead I make them into songs, which makes me awesome since we have quite the following of girls around campus.
I click off my light after working for awhile and think about Leah again. I would definitely need to introduce myself to that girl properly. I picture her small body and smile to myself as I hop into bed and slowly close my eyes to the image in my head.

“Yo Teddy, you up yet?” I shout from the bottom of the stairs that lead up to his room. Him and Mark, our other band member, share an old house with a few other guys right near campus. They had tried to get me to be a roommate but I wasn’t really in to living with a bunch of smelly other guys. Plus I had grown up in a big family, the quiet was definitely nice.
“Yeah, yeah I’m up.” A half dressed Teddy stumbles down the stairs while trying to pull a ratty looking t-shirt on, followed by a girl I’m pretty sure he hooked up with at the party last night. She shoves a piece of paper towards him before he lands a wet kiss on her cheek and ushers her out the door. “Call me soon,” she says in one of those little girl voices that women think are hot. What is hot about sounding like a toddler, maybe it’s just me since I have a three year old sister who I adore. Total turn off.
“Definitely,” Teddy replies as he shuts the door behind her and proceeds to crumble the paper up into a ball and shoots it towards the garbage can.
“Do you ever have anything more than a one night stand dude?”
“Now where would the fun in that be Chase? Then they just start to get all clingy and think you’re in a relationship then they think you need to buy ‘em shit and only be seeing them the whole time. Not my thing. I don’t think I can be a one woman kind of man, there’s way too much sampling from the buffet that throws themselves at me for that to be going on. We’ll leave the monogamous relationships to you.”
“My mom would kick my ass if I acted the way you do, so I think I’m good.”
“Whatever mama’s boy.” Although he’s clearly jealous of my mom. Whenever he goes home with me to visit, he’s always sent home with enough home cooked meals to last him a week so he tries to come as much as possible. “You ready to practice then?”
We meet up with Mark in the garage that sits out behind the house and straighten out a few kinks on a couple songs that we’ve been working on. Teddy sets up most of our gigs and they help to pay the bills while I’m in my last year of school. Teddy and Mark look at the whole band thing as a lifetime career but that’s just not my thing.
Mark puffs on a cigarette and offers me one as I pack my guitar back up. I shake my head at him, “Naw man I’m good. Haven’t touched one in a couple of weeks.”
“Awesome man, wish I could give ‘em up but it’s just not gonna happen. Pick up any chicks at the party last night?” Marks not as bad with the women as Teddy but he’s no saint either. I tend to look for women somewhere other than parties.
