Chapter 7 - Alex

Well, I have to admit that having David over for most of the weekend wasn’t as bad as I thought.  He didn’t bug me and to be honest, I enjoyed him spoiling me.  Neither Paul nor Chance ever spoil me, but then again, I don’t let them spoil me either. 

To be completely honest, it has been several days since then and I kind of wish that he was at my apartment.  When he was around, for some strange reason, I didn’t think about sex at all.  However, it is the middle of the week now, and I’m getting very frustrated.  I’m going on 10 days without sex.  This is a first for me since high school.  I have never gone this long without sex and I’m going slightly batty. 

I glance around the canteen and my eyes instantly zoom in on all the girls’ curves, especially their breasts.  It has been so long since I’ve been able to nibble on some.  Boy, do I miss it, but I’ll die first before I lose this bet. 

I know I tease Chance about using my hand, but until now, I still haven’t broken down and done that, but my willpower is fading.  I think I’m going to give in and put my hand into action soon. 

I sigh.

Chance smiles across the table at me and chimes, “Hey, did I win the bet already?  It has only been 10 days.”

Next to him, Paul shakes his head.  “Alex, you can’t give in yet.”

Glancing around the canteen, I sigh.  “No.  I’m still winning the bet, but my mind just can’t stop looking at what I’m missing out on.”

Brandon chuckles and snuggles up close to Paul.  “Well, I’ll have to say that I wouldn’t be able to stay away from my boyfriend for that long.  I would have crumbled already and thrown myself on him.  I’m proud that you can keep going.”

I sigh and tear my eyes away from all the girls.  He may be proud of me, but I’m determined to win. 

I look across the table at Brandon and shrug my shoulders.  “I really have little choice.  I’m not letting Chance drive my car.  I don’t let anyone drive my baby.”

A familiar voice startles me.  “Oh, but I drove your car this weekend.  I guess I better count myself very fortunate.”

Brandon widens his eyes and looks at me as he leans forward.  “You let David drive your car?  How?  Why?”

I frown as David sits down beside me.  “I was sick.  I had no choice.”

Kai sits down at the table next to Chance. 

David smiles and holds up two fingers.  “Actually, I drove it twice.  First, I took Alex to my apartment from the bar and then the next day, I took him to his apartment.”

I lean towards him and reach my hand out to his.  I move an additional figure up.  “No, it was three times.  Remember, you went out to get food on Sunday.”

Paul and Chance suddenly start choking as Brandon points towards me.  “You let David drive your car, your baby, three times this weekend.  The same car that you won’t let us drive for any reason.”

I nod my head.  “Well, I was in the car each time.  Granted the first time, I don’t remember because I was passed out.  Oh, remind me to not drink that much this weekend.  Hangovers suck.”

David smiles and puts his hand down on the table.  “I don’t think that they will be much help if they are anything like they were last weekend.  Paul is the only one that wasn’t drunk.”  He points to Chance and Brandon.  “Those two were plastered before you.  Shoot, Kai had to take Chance home because Chance was practically passed out on Kai’s shoulder.”

I nod and look over at Chance, who suddenly blushes.  Wait.  Why is he blushing?  That reminds me I never found out what happened that night.

I smirk and playfully point my finger at Chance and Kai.  “That’s right.  Kai spent the night at Chancey’s dorm room.  Chancey, what happened that night?  Kai didn’t even return to his own apartment by 4 in the afternoon the following day.  Exactly how long did he stay with you?”

Chance instantly starts choking as his face turns bright red.  Well, even if he says nothing, this is telling me that something definitely happened.  Now, I just need to find out what.

Kai glances at Chance almost asking the same question with his eyes.  However, Kai is met with a glare.  Well, this is interesting.  Now, I know for sure something happened.  I’m going to corner Chance later and get him to tell me everything.

Chance keeps glaring at Kai as he hisses, “Alex, how do you know that Kai didn’t leave by 4pm?”

David clears his throat.  “Kai and I share an apartment, and I took Alex back to his apartment at 4 and Kai wasn’t back yet.”

My mischievous grin grows wider.  “So, I’m assuming that Kai was still with Chancey.”

Chance huffs but before he can snort a reply, Paul interrupts, “Alex leave Chance alone.”

Still looking at Chance, I whine, “No.  I don’t want to stop.  It is fun.”

Chance moves his glare to me and crosses his arms over his chest.  “Well, I don’t have to tell you anything.  What I do or don’t do in the privacy of my dorm room has nothing to do with you.”

In a stern voice, Paul demands, “Stop it!  This is not the time nor place to be arguing about this!”

Reluctantly, I let my smirk disappear.  Dang.  He is ruining all my fun.  However, I’m not done with Chance yet.  I’m definitely going to find out what happened.

Studying is over, and I put my books back into my bag as I ask, “Are we going to go get something to eat now?  I’m starving.”

Chance sighs as he puts his stuff away.  “I’m hungry too.  What time is it?   I haven’t even looked at my phone yet to see if it is time for supper.”

While picking up his books, Paul replies, “I haven’t looked either, but I’m hungry, so I’m assuming it is late.”

I fling my book bag over my shoulder and stand up.  I glance between my two friends.  “Let’s go get something to eat.  I just hope that we aren’t too late and have to eat convenience store food.”

Chance slides the chairs back under the table as he chimes, “Where do you want to eat?”

As Paul walks away, he says, “Let’s decide that as we are walking to our cars.”

Chance and I nod and follow right behind him as we walk through the library.  I chime, “Hey!”

I’m suddenly cute off by the librarian.  “Shhhh.  Whispers only.”

Dang it.  Where did she come from? 

I mouth an apology, and we walk the rest of the way through the library in silence.  As soon as we get outside, I chime, “Now that I can speak, I was going to say why don’t we go to that little restaurant that just opened up down the road.  I’ve heard good things about it.”

Paul pulls his phone out of his pocket and nods.  “It isn’t too late.  They should still be open.  I’ll call Brandon really quick to see if he wants to join too.”

As Paul calls his boyfriend, Chance nods his head.  “That sounds good.  I haven’t eaten there yet.”

I try to ignore Paul’s conversation.  Just like when we are in the bar, he doesn’t really care who is around when he talks with his boyfriend.  Sometimes the sweet talk is too much, but what drives me crazy is the dirty talk.  It is bad enough that I have to see it with my own two eyes, but I don’t want to have to hear it too.

Chance and I walk ahead of Paul as he smiles and talks into his phone.  I block his voice out as I ask Chance, “So, what have you heard about the new restaurant?”

He chuckles.  “Are you trying to not listen to Paul’s conversation with Brandon too?”

I glance back to our friend, who is lost in his own world, and then nod.  “I don’t know why he can’t understand that we don’t want to see or hear all of that.  Shoot.  The last two weekends at the bar were enough for me.  I can go for another year without having to see any of that.”

Chance shrugs his shoulders.  “I find it cute.  I just wish that I could be that much in love with someone one of these days.”

I shake my head.  “All I see are two horny bunny rabbits that can’t keep their hands off of each other.  Ugh.  Can’t they show some mercy to others?”

He shakes his head.  “What do you think we have to watch when you hook-up with those girls?  They flirt with you and then you flirt with them.  Some of them don’t care that anyone is watching, and they practically undress you right in front of us.  This is what you deserve.  Plus, why do you think I wanted to make the bet?  You think I enjoy watching you struggle.  Don’t get me started on how moody you have become.”

“Hey!  I’m not moody.  I may be a little sexually frustrated right now, but I’m not moody.” 

Paul suddenly walks between us and chimes, “Brandon will meet us at the restaurant.  Let’s go.”

***

Well, this isn’t exactly what I thought of when Paul said that Brandon was going to meet us at the restaurant.  I glance around the table and not only is Brandon here, but Kai and David too. 

I don’t know if my luck has run out or what.  I keep running into David or maybe it is that he keeps running into me.  I’m not sure which one, but I don’t really care.  He is fun to be around.

However, Chance seems a little uncomfortable with Kai sitting beside him.  I’m sure he is wishing that we were sitting at a rectangular table instead of a round one.  Chance could then sit across from Kai instead of right next to him.  Well, Chance has tried to move but Paul would not sit anywhere but next to Brandon and David quickly took the seat next to me which left Chance with the only seat available which is the one right next to Kai. 

As I study Chance and Kai, I’m positive that something happened.  There isn’t going to be anything that stops me from finding out now.  I have to know.

My thoughts are interrupted when the server stops next to the table and takes our order.  Man, I’m starving.  I forgot to grab any snacks this afternoon and I haven’t eaten since lunch, so I order more food than normal. 

After the server leaves, Chance teases, “Well, I’m glad to see that your lack of sex hasn’t decreased your appetite.”

I smirk and playfully banter, “What?  Am I supposed to shrivel up or something from not having sex?  If that was the case, then you would be nothing but bones, since you haven’t gotten any yet.”

Chance instantly hisses, “This isn’t about me.”

David chuckles.  “Can we get through one meal without the two of you talking about that bet and your sex lives?  Granted, I find it funny at times, but right now I’m hungry and I don’t want to hear about how plentiful Alex’s sex life is while Chance’s is completely dry.  Can we talk about something else?”

Brandon nods his head and chimes, “Yes.  I completely agree.  Let’s talk about something else.”

Kai reaches for his glass of water and raises it up towards his lips, but suddenly stops.  “Hey, would you guys want to go somewhere as I group?”

Paul turns towards him and asks, “What do you have in mind?”

Brandon slides closer to his boyfriend and adds, “When and where?”

Kai glances to his side at Chance and shakes his head.  “I don’t really have anything planned.  I was just throwing out the question.”

Well, I have to say it isn’t a terrible idea.  However, we are still in the middle of a semester, and we can’t go too far, but a weekend away may help me calm down, as long as it isn’t the beach where I have to look at gorgeous girls in skimpy swimsuits.  That would be complete torture.

David smiles.  “How about us going to the beach?  I know a perfect place just a couple hours from here.”

NO!  I WON’T BE ABLE TO HANDLE IT! 

I slowly shake my head.  “I don’t think that I can.  Maybe in a month or two, but I can’t right now.”
