Bab 1

Chapter 1

I was always a runner. From the day I took my first step, I was ready to run. Ready to leap and bound, and fall and get back up, only to run again. Running is the very thing that I do the best and the very thing I can never be the best at.







My body was always lean and small, too small for most sports since I only stood 4’11 but that never stopped me from wanting to compete. I was the fastest on my high school track team but I never really got better than that. I always wanted to run in the Olympics but knew even as a teenager that was not something that would happen for me.



I was good in school, not straight As but everyone generally knew I was a pretty smart kid and good to bum answers from if you were in dire need.







Only now I was headed to college, and boy did I not know what the fuck I signed up for by doing that. Nobody in my family had ever gone to college before me for at least 3 or 4 generations back on both sides and gee it would’ve been nice to have had someone to help me through that. Now I’m here and it’s almost impossible to navigate but I also know that I can’t throw away my shot, that more than just my future depends on me succeeding at this. There was no setback that would send me reeling until that first note came under my dorm room door.







I had been placed in a small cement colored dorm room with another girl named Rita. Rita was as easy going as they came, and tall enough to reach the few shelves I couldn’t, when she showed me that she played the guitar too we became quick friends. Rita was a runner too, just not at the same level as I was, and that’s what we were doing the day the note came in.







Rita was wearing her usual oversized men’s T-shirt and athletic pants white I wore my usual yoga pants and sweater and we looked as big as we could on the street. We stretched in the cool dark air before the sun rose and started off our run at our usual just-above-jog pace. Rita doesn’t ever talk much but I sure love to, and I do.







I started telling her about a crazy dream I had last night where my family dog was my new physics professor and maybe taught me more about physics than I learned in my last lecture. She giggles along with the story and keeps pace with me until I start panting from the exertion of running and talking at the same time. Then she smiles devilishly before deciding that our warmup is over and darts away quickly before I can tell her how it ends. I start after her, out of breath and a little bit surprised that she would kick off our morning race in this underhanded way. I quickly caught up to her and as she made her first turn, but I knew there was another mile and a half left in our run so I didn’t let on that I was close to passing her until the last half mile, which is downhill, when I knew I could outpace her for sure.







I feel my blood pumping harder and harder as my tennis shoes slap the pavement. I pass her, and I’m running at least twice her speed when I finally beat her home by 20 seconds. She ran the last few steps looking positively pink in the face. She had thought she was about to win for the first time, and she was not happy about losing after cheating. I started to do my victory dance as she ran up and told her that I would get to take the first shower in a loud sing-song voice. “How is someone so small so fast?” She questioned and I couldn’t help but smile at her sweaty face.







I felt energized by the run and took a very quick hot shower that pulled all of the morning chill out of my face. I went back to our dorm room and found that Rita was doing exactly what she had been before I left. She rolled out of her bed, phone still in hand, swiping occasionally, and grabbed her shower caddy without looking at it. I reach out my hand with our shared key to the showers that hang on a large wooden stick with the number 405 on it in pink paint. She said thank you and waved me goodbye for what I knew would be another one of her 45 minute showers.







She had only been gone a minute or two when I heard the sound of paper rustling by the door and I hopped off my tall bed to investigate.







It was a large pink post-it note that looked like it had been ripped and then folded in half, it was dirty like someone had stepped on it and it had my name written on it at the top in quick handwriting. Cassandra







I looked at it blankly, wondering who would leave me a note like this. For a second I considered that it could’ve come from the RA but I had seen her handwriting before and it was very nice and bubbly.



I opened the note to find that it has quite a bit written in it.







I have loved you from the moment I met you, but I cannot know if you love me back, as I think the knowledge will kill me with joy or sadness, whatever your reply might be. Know that you are special to me but do not seek to know my name as it will only lead to heartbreak.



Yours forever,



Your Secret Admirer

Chapter 2
I walked into my first college chemistry class feeling nervous and excited all at once. As I took my seat, I looked around at my nameless classmates and tried to make eye contact with someone, anyone. I wanted to make friends, to find someone to share this experience with.The professor walked in, and I quickly turned my attention to the front of the room. As she began her lecture, I tried to follow along, scribbling notes in my notebook and hoping that I was getting everything right.As the class wore on, I found myself feeling more and more comfortable with the material. I even found myself raising my hand a few times to ask questions, something I never would have done in high school.During a brief break, I struck up a conversation with the tall brown haired boy sitting next to me. He was friendly and easy to talk to, and before I knew it, we were discussing our majors, our favorite TV shows, and everything in between.As the class ended and we all gathered our things to leave, I f

Chapter 3
Darren and I didn’t end up doing much studying. He was too much fun to talk to. We found ourselves going on about Gone With the Wind for at least 3 hours before he noticed we hadn’t done any homework. I told him that I would much rather talk about anything other than chemistry. He laughed and put his hand on my thigh in a way too intimate for friends.I felt the urge to wrap my legs around him and kiss him hard and deep and sure. I must have looked at his lips too intensely because the corners of his mouth went up into a smile. He laughed and I felt myself lean forward into it.I knew that it was too much, I knew that I was acting ridiculous. I barely knew this man but things felt so easy with us. He told me about his high school swim team, and how he missed them. He told me about his little sister who had outgrown him, and how frustrating it was to be the little big brother. He told me about his family dog and going swimming on his family’s ranch in Tennessee. He promised me that he

Chapter 4
I’m in my bed, lazily sleeping in, when I roll onto Darren. He cradles me softly in his arms and tucks me into his body. I mew ask he strokes my hair and whispers soft words to me, how beautiful I am, how soft my skin is, how sexy the way my back dips in just before my ass. I hum as thick, calloused fingers drag down my long hair until they touch my lower back, bare, warm, his touch feels so soft, but makes my skin hotter than it’s ever felt before. I moan again and he laughs at me.“You have no idea how good I can make you feel”He grins mischievously and the only thing I know for certain is that I cannot wait to find out.“Show me then”I smile at him confident, feeling brave despite my nudity. I crane my neck up and kiss him softly then harder and harder. My hands find his hair as he deepens the kiss and rolls me onto my back. He smiles, mischievous, and presses me into the bed, his hands around the softest area of my stomach, and lowers himself between my legs to start at the plac

Chapter 5
I felt all of the blood drain from my face as I stared at the screen. Someone had been in my room. Something must have gone wrong in my brain, because I soon found myself on the floor. I decided I must be dead because there was an angel grabbing me, shaking me. Must be trying to teach me to fly. It felt wrong though, that the angel was crying, I must be doing so bad that I’ve made her job hard, I didn’t want to be a bad student.“I’m sorry, Angel” I manage to say despite the swirling pool of unconscious grasping at my tongue. I tried to stand but the swirling only got worse. I fell into the angel's pretty auburn hair and sighed at the smell of apples.She pulled me through the doorway with her shirt over her nose and kicked the door shut behind us. The fog in my brain quickly began to clear. I shook my head trying to clean the rest out of it and looked into Rita’s panicked eyes. “Was that written in blood?” Rita asked. I only blinked at her in response. There had been no angel dra

Chapter 6
I stood in front of the dorm building and shook my body out, hoping it looked like I was just getting ready for a run, and not trying to shake off my anxiety. My palms felt sweaty and my shoes felt too tight to my feet. I was running my finger along the inside of the shoe when the sense of calm that only accompanies one person's physical presence brings me.Darren pulls me into a hug faster than I can stop him. His chest smells beachy and warm, and the soft cotton of his shirt comforts my face. I have already forgotten everything that has happened and I wrap my arms around him too, sighing as he breathes in my hair. It feels too nice to be held by him, and he has to let go of me. I look at his running outfit and shake my head to clear out the fog that fills it everytime he smiles at me. We’re here to run and he could be a psychopath. “Last one to the dining hall has to buy lunch” I say and see a smile take over his face. He was too handsome to make things easy for me.I immediately

Chapter 7
He reaches for my hand and grips me softly. His eyes never look away from mine as he steps closer. He leans in and I close my eyes as we finally connect.His kiss heats me up from my stomach. He curls our fingers together and he tilts his chin away from me, keeping our foreheads connected. He sighs and I place my hand on the back of his neck in a familiar way. Only it isn’t familiar to me, I have only touched a man like this in my dreams.My dream of Darren flashes to my mind and I flush, suddenly embarrassed. Darren notices my change and pulls away to look at me, holding my shoulders in place. He scans my face, worried that I’m not enjoying the kiss and sees my blush. He grins and tries to kiss me again but can’t stop smiling long enough to pucker his lips. His laugh pulls one out of me as well, and we stand close enough to kiss again, laughing at each other’s embarrassment. It doesn’t last long though, and we connect again, this kiss feels even sweeter than the first somehow, and my

Chapter 8
Darren topples over, clearly he hadn’t been expecting 120 pounds of semi-nude woman to fall on him. I picked up my towel before he could get the chance to see me and I’m up and at my closet door before he ever finds out what hit him. His face looks quizzical when he finally raises it, and looks sheepishly around. I can’t help but giggle at his silly response.His eyes find me and realization dawns on his face, quickly followed by concern. “Are you alright?” He asks, rising from the floor and coming towards me. I giggle again and inform him that I am the one who hurt him. He flexes his bicep and makes a silly face “Nothing can hurt me Babydoll, I’m made of steel” he flexes at me again before we both dissolve into laughter.“I have to get dressed now so you’d better head out of my room” I stick my tongue out at him. “What I don’t get to stay? Are there no boyfriend privileges?” “Boyfriend privileges are earned, now get out before I throw you out!” I suddenly remember who is in the hall

Chapter 9
Darren and I kiss for a while longer, but he never lets me have any more than that, and promises to me that we will not until I have convinced him that I’m ready. I pout about this for much longer than should’ve been allowed, but his kisses really soften the blow. I start to get dressed and sigh at Darren, holding up my soaking panties with one finger. He flashes me a devilish smile and laughs “you broke up my matching set!” I say, fake upset. “I guess you just don’t get to wear underwear tonight then.” He says, wiggling his eyebrows in my direction. “Yeah then you have to wear those!” I tell him as I throw them at him. I pull a much less sexy pair from my drawer, and place them on.“Absolutely not.” he says with a pained face. I snicker at him and slip on a layered sundress. He groans and says “not the sundress!” He tosses his hands over his eyes “You’re too beautiful I’m going blind!” He falls over dramatically onto the bed while I shake my head at his silliness. I pull my hair in

Chapter 10
“So how exactly are you going to show me again?” I look at him pointedly. “It’s kind of complicated.” He says. We walk down the hallway to his door. I look at him. He still doesn’t say anything else. “Okayyy.” I say, nodding my head slowly. “So it’s complicated, how about you tell me how old you really are then Drac?” He sighs and looks down as he unlocks the door. “Is that nickname going to stick?” He asks with his arms crossed. “I don’t know, are you going to hurt me, Drac?” I open my mouth to exaggerate the C sound and he turns to look at me when I’ve finished. His face looks like a kicked puppy.“Of course I would never hurt you! You’re the most important thing in my life now!” He says, his voice softening at the end. He looks at me, with all the vulnerability of a child asking for his mothers’ attention. I wonder what has happened to him to make him feel this way. The door opens and he gestures for me to go inside. A mass of black fur runs from a bedroom into Darren’s arms. Dar
