He grinned at me as he nodded at something she was saying over my phone to him. "No, no. She's not twisting my arm at all. I'd love to see you. It’ll be a home-town reunion.”
Another silence and a grin. "You know how she gets, it'd tear her up all night if she thought you were just sitting alone in the dorms watching T.V. and feeling sad. Honestly, I want you to come out with us; my treat.”
Anna said something else on the phone, and I saw Tyler’s cheeks suddenly flush red. "No, I can promise you it won't be weird at all because of last time.”
I found myself blushing as well.

Tyler wanted to take us both out someplace nice, which meant I was going to need to go back to the dorm to change.
"We really can just meet you out, you know. You really don't need to come to our cramped dorm room if you don't want to." I made a pleading face at him, secretly thinking about how freaking messy the room Anna and I shared was. I hadn’t expected to have him come by the dorms this trip, and the place was a disaster.
He grinned at me, his eyes twinkling. "Afraid I'm going to see how messy you really are, baby?”
I blushed. “No, I just-”
"Ahh, don't want all those young guys to see you with your old boyfriend?" He laughed as I groaned and pushed my face into his strong chest. "I just want to see where you sleep when I'm not around, you know. I’ve never actually seen it in the daylight.”
I stuck my tongue out at him; "Ok fiiiine, but no judging. It's not all my mess you know."

“You know, it's not that bad,” Tyler was standing in my doorway, finally seeing my dorm room in daylight for the first time. "I mean, I think I can actually see a piece of the carpet over there in the corn
er.”
I rolled my eyes and punched him in the arm as he cracked up before pulling me into a hug and kissing my neck.
I felt my pulse jump as his lips found that magic spot right above my collarbone, and I moaned quietly.
"You know, you make those incredibly sexy noises like that and a guy has a real hard time not pulling you into this room and fucking you right here on the floor,” he growled into my ear. I felt my breath catch as he pulled me tightly to him, letting me feel the thick bulge in his pants against my ass.
I whirled around to kiss him hungrily, tasting his lips with my tongue and feeling him growl into my mouth before I pulled away. "How fast can we b-”
I was cut off when the door swung open as Anna bounced in. She stuttered to a halt, seeing us wrapped in each other arms and going a little red in the face. “Oh, shit! Uh, hey guys!” She looked at me guiltily. “Sorry, I- I can come back lat-”
Tyler smiled at her and pulled away from me with a little squeeze. “Nope, I'm the one intruding on your room here.”
“No, I'm just- well, I'm just not exactly used to assuming Christina has a guy in the room when the door’s closed." Anna stuck her tongue out at me as I gave her a look, while Tyler just chuckled.
He turned and gave me a quick peck. “I’ll just go hang out in the study area or something and leave you guys to get ready.”
Anna shuffled a little bit, her eyes darting between Tyler and I. "Guys, this is your last night. You really don't have to drag me out with you. Honestly, I’m fine to just hang in tonight.”
"Nope, not having it." Tyler gave her one of his winning smiles, the kind that always melted me and that clearly had the same effect on her as she blushed and looked quickly away.
"Put on something nice, and lets all go have a great time tonight." He turned and winked at me, making me grin at him, before he walked out of the room.
“Is he real? I mean, honestly.” I grinned as Anna shook her head at me.
“Are you sure about tonight? Chris, I'm serious, don't worry about-”
“Lady,” I gave her a look, rolling my eyes at her. "Shut up, put on something sexy, and let's go have a fun night, okay?”
“If you insist.”
