Surprisingly Yours

Jagger

“It’s a boring party, but have you seen the chicks?”

Barry sighed, “You could have any one of them, Jag. It’s only boring to you because you’ve been with all of them.”

I smirked, “I haven’t been with all of them, Barry—I am simply testing the waters before I settle.”

Barry shook his head, downing his beer as the two attended yet another frat party for the weekend.

“I hate these things,” Lenny said, settling down on the sofa next to Jagger, “So pretentious.”

“Dude, we’re jocks—we have to be here,” I reminded him, “Ooo, what about Stacey?”

Barry laughed, “Stacey and her sister? Now that’s a nice combo!”

“What about Laura and Katelynn?”

“Loose Laura? No thanks!” Lenny waved his hands frantically, “I don’t touch that.”

I frownd, “You’re nothing but a manwhore and yet Laura’s too loose for you?”

I glanced around the room setting my sights on another young woman who was standing near the bookshelves.

“Julia..”

Julia

“I can’t believe I’m at this party..” I mumbled to my friend, Heather who was surveying the room.

“It was either this or you’d have been stuck in that room all night studying.”

I scowled, “The point of college is studying..”

“The point of college is having fun!”

I turned around and leaned up against the wall. Catching sight of Jagger Hayes—a student in my sociology class. He smiled when our eyes met so I half-heartedly gave him a little grin before turning away again and grabbing a book.

Heather took the novel from my hands and placed it back in the shelf.

“Not tonight!” Heather sighed, “Tonight we find dudes and we,-”

“Hi..” A male voice startled me from behind.

“Oh, Jagger! Hey...”I stumbled, his blue eyes were penetrating through my soul with his dark brown hair floating over his eyes as I drank him in.

“Hey, Julia...Did you ever finish that report we had to do about war crimes—or..”

Really? This is what he wanted to ask me?

“Yes, I’ve had it done. Do you need help with it?”

Jagger smiled, but he didn’t answer right away. He let me stare up at him for the longest time before replying.

“Wanna go somewhere to talk?”

Jagger

She was pretty—a pretty nerd.

Julia Bennett.

Her ebony hair was flowing over her shoulders and she had the prettiest forest green eyes. Definitely not my type, though—all brains.

Not that I didn’t like brains, but I was a party guy and Julia was my opposite.

“Sure,” she said, “Where do you want to go?”

I didn’t want to take her upstairs—I’d seen she’d had a beer so I decided to play it cool.

“We can go anywhere you want....”

“There’s outside?”Julia said, but she caught me off-guard when she said, “There’s some bedrooms upstairs...”

Had I been wrong about little miss geek? Would she really take my bait and let me thrill her until the crack of dawn?

“Julia! Hi!”

“Stephanie! What are you doing here?” Julia hugged one of her friends and I took a step back.

“I just popped in! There’s another party going on downtown if you’re interested...”

Julia sighed, “Nah, I’m kinda tired. I was thinking about going back to my dorm.”

What a cock block...

"What's waiting for you at the dorm?"

"My books."

"Such a nerd.." I chuckled, "But you're kinda cute so,-"

Julia waved her hand around, "Your macho charm isn't going to work on me, Hayes. I know you too well."

"You don't want to know me, Julia.." I said, not thinking about the words coming out of my mouth, "You'll be better off."

Julia

He was interesting, mysterious, but not my type.

I wasn't even sure I had a type, but it certainly wasn't Jagger Hayes who killed me with his smile and odd charm.

Something about him told me that there would be plenty of times he was going to get on my nerves, but I simply walked away--away from the laughter and fun that everyone else was having.

I was absolutely shocked when I felt him behind me.

Jagger Hayes--following me?

He must have been desperate.

"Wait up, nerd," he said, "You're pretty fast, but I'm definitely faster."

"Are you stalking me now?"

"ME? Never.." Jagger smiled, "Come on. The night is young and so are we so let's have some fun while it lasts, yeah?"

"Yeah..." I sighed, "Fun until you leave me for another one night stand."
