"Okay."
"Okay?"
He turned away from me and looked around for the light switch. When he found it, the sight of him took my breath away. His hair was mussed up in that way that it could only be after sex. He had already zippered up his suit pants and hinged his belt back in place, but his shirt was still unbuttoned. His tie hung loosely around his neck and was pressed against his naked torso. I couldn't help but wonder why men ever wore shirts. Just a tie seemed to work fine.
He smiled at me. "Okay, let's give this thing a shot."
I wanted to clap my hands and yell and dance around the closet. Instead, I slid off the table, walked over to him and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Does that mean if people ask if you're my boyfriend you won't freak out? Maybe I could even say yes?"
"Hmm." His hands slid to the small of my back. "Maybe you should say it a few times so I can get used to it."
"So like...no we're not just roommates, this is my boyfriend, Rory."My boyfriend, Rory.I wanted to say it a million times.
"It sounds pretty good actually."
"It does." I smiled up at him.
"We should probably get dressed so we don't spend our first night as boyfriend and girlfriend in jail."
"That would just make a great story."
"Yeah, but I think we could make better use of our first night back home in bed, don't you?" He let go of the small of my back and lightly slapped my ass.
I laughed and turned around to search for my bra. I quickly grabbed it off the table, put it back on, and zipped my dress back in place. I looked around the small closet in search of my thong, but I couldn't seem to find it anywhere.
"Are you looking for this?" Rory pulled my thong out of his pocket and let it dangle from his index finger.
"Thanks." I reached for it, but he pulled his hand away.
"I thought I told you not to wear underwear."
"I didn't realize you meant never again. I thought you meant just that one night."
"I like having easy access to you. So I'm keeping these." He put them back in his pocket.
"Rory, it's part of a lingerie set."
"Maybe you can convince me to give it back to you later." He raised his eyebrow at me. "You're pretty good at convincing me to do things I wouldn't normally do."
I laughed and straightened his tie. "You mean like breaking our roommate pact?"
"That roommate pact was doomed from the start. Especially since neither one of us really wanted it."
"I thought you did want it?"
"I wanted the pact solely because I thought it would make you more comfortable with our living situation. But I always intended to sleep with you." He gave me one of his panty dropping smiles.
"Rory," I said and pushed on his chest.
He grabbed my hands. "And when you kept flirting with me, I knew you wanted me too. It was only a matter of time before you begged me."
"You're the worst!" I said playfully. I already knew he had been stringing me along. That's what he did. He was a player. I had known that from the start. I just never realized how much he wanted me too.
He scratched the back of his neck. "But I never expected to like you this much."
"Thanks, I guess?"
He laughed. "You know what I mean. I'm not used to girls being so down to earth. I like that you can hang out with my friends and talk about sports and play poker. I find that very sexy."
