DNA Part 8
The feeling of Rory’s chest against mine drove me crazy. With my hands pinned above my head, I watched in disbelief as he slowly made his way down my chest planting kisses along the way. I couldn’t seem to stop what was happening. The whiskey was starting to kick in and the room started to become quite hazy. In our drunken state, we failed to notice a key jiggling into the door’s lock. The door sprung open just as Rory's mouth had made its way to the middle of my stomach. I grabbed the sides of Rory’s face urging him to go lower, but he suddenly stopped and lifted his head toward the door.
In the doorway stood a girl wearing bright red stripper heels, a neon green bikini bottom, and a tight cut off jersey that barely covered her breasts. She walked in closing the door and stopped right above Rory and me. I looked at Rory for an answer, but he looked just as puzzled. The tension was broken when this girl knelt down and started to kiss me. I was in no position to protest with Rory slowly removing my underwear. Soon our dark haired third party had lost her top and bottom inviting my mouth to explore her body. Rory took me into his mouth and the room started to fade into a red glow. I remember feeling the sweat roll across our bodies with the music from the party below roaring in the background. I was at the mercy of my two partners. Rory was working so hard to please me, while she watched and revelled in the sight of it all. Our roles changed more times than I could count. The night came to an end with Rory fast asleep on my left and our mystery girl on the right.
Morning light spilled into the room waking me with its persistence. This girl had nestled her head into my shoulder. I smelled her hair like a total creep. It was a mix between lavender and sex…..
I noticed that Rory had shifted at some point, now with his head resting on my stomach and arm laying across my legs. I’d once again became ensnared by the arms and legs of others.
Where had my clothes gone?
My anxiety had started to rise up. I had slept with a guy I barely knew and a girl I’d never met. It was safe to say in the moment, naked in bed, I was freaking out royally. I had betrayed Adrian and I didn’t know why I did any of it. I couldn’t imagine him understanding why I’d hooked up with two people in his absence. Maybe one. I had to get out of there, so I slowly moved Rory’s head onto a pillow. Slipping out of bed was easy, yet finding my clothes was like a map-less treasure hunt. After locating my pants and shirt, at least I thought it was my shirt, I heard Rory start to wake up.
Rory: Morning…
I continued to look for my shoes without acknowledging his greeting.
Rory: Last night was wild…
I couldn’t breathe….I started to feel my chest tighten with every word. I had to get out of that room. Out of that situation…
Rory: Are you okay?
I had only found one of my shoes, but I couldn’t take it. The walls seemed to close in and the air felt so thin in my lungs.
Me: I’m fine, but I have to go….
Rory: Wait, are you okay? Don’t just bail…
I looked back at Rory as I started to run out of the room. His expression was one of guilt and confusion. I ran down the hallway past pledges cleaning, past piles of red cups, and tripped over a keg as I ran through the living room out the front door. I didn’t stop running until I was a block away. My eyes started to tear up as I knew I’d ruined everything with Adrian. I couldn’t help but be sad as I made that horrific first and only walk of shame in my life. I took my phone out of my pocket and read the alerts….

From Adrian: Hope your night is going great. I know I’m a real loser, but whatever
From Adrian: We should go to the gym when I get back.
From Adrian: Okay, you must be sleep. Goodnight.
From Adrian: One more thing. 143.
Adrian was away and thinking about me while I indulged in sex games with a Beta! To add insult to injury, I’d left Theo to fend for himself with a party full of seniors. He was prone to fighting when drunk. I was such a lousy friend. I allowed my carnal desires to take hold of my every action last night. I wanted to hide my face for a thousand years. I started to run again hoping to get into my room quick to wash off my own guilt.
I sprinted across the parking lot heading right to my dorm when a F150 truck with all black paint and rims pulled out in front of me. I didn’t have the energy to flip the driver off, so I just kept walking then the window rolled down. It was Rory behind the wheel dangling my lost shoe out of the window.
Look at me. A real live whore of a Cinderella story. No glass slipper, just shame.
Rory: Hey, get in, I’ll buy you breakfast.
Me: I don’t feel like breakfast, kind of down…
Rory: All the more reason to let me treat you, nothing big….just want to talk….and you can have your shoe back.
I didn’t have the energy to argue with him so I got in only to retrieve my other shoe. He drove off leaving the campus in the distance. We pulled up to this old fashioned drive-in called Charlie’s. The carhop walked up to the driver side window greeting us with a smile. I had my head down not very interested in talking, but I could hear him ordering more food than two people could eat in one sitting. I watched as the carhop returned to put in our order. Rory looked over at me with what I could only describe as lust. He stared at me for about 5 mins straight until he just grabbed my face and kissed me. I was totally caught off guard and luckily for the cars on either side of us his tint disguised the invasion. I pushed him off and started to get out of the truck.
Rory: Wait, I’m sorry. It’s just last night was so amazing and I couldn’t…….
Me: Last night was a mistake.
Rory: A mistake? You don’t like me? I thought you liked me?
Me: I do like you Rory. It’s not you it’s me. I made a mistake hooking up with you…
.........
Me: Not to mention that random girl.
Rory: Was it bad? Did I do something wrong? Do you have a girlfriend too? Its cool.
Me: Too? What do you mean too?
Rory: The girl last night was my girlfriend Julie. Ex Girlfriend actually.
Me: Girlfriend? What? Julie? Oh my god, you seduced me into having sex with you and your girlfriend!
Rory: No it’s not like that.
Me: Then what is it like Rory, enlighten me.
I couldn’t believe I’d been third party to some sick way to spice up someone’s relationship. I’d gone from mistress/mister to total gigolo. I could see my reputation being synonymous with a good time. I checked back into Rory’s explanation just as our food arrived to the car. I decided to eat while he recounted his grand scheme to “nothing short of roofie-ing an innocent freshman.”
Okay, I wasn’t that innocent, but his dastardly plan was still intriguing.
Rory: ...the night in the laundry room was genuine. I just wanted to invite you to our party.
Me: Well when did it all become not so genuine.
Rory: Julie and I kind of broke up yesterday, so when you showed up last night it made me feel better.
Me: Okay…..
Rory: Well, once we started smoking and drinking I started to remember how smart you were…..
Rory told me that I’d intrigued him from the first time he’d heard me talk in my freshman studies class. He told me how it was rare that a freshman would actually volunteer to stand up in front of a group of strangers while being confident and relatable. He said that after that day everyone in the class seemed to open up and actually talk about real issues affecting freshmen. He called me a natural extrovert and said it was my golden ticket in life.
I sat listening to him talk about how much he liked my little anecdotes thrown in throughout every session.
Me: So, I seduced you with my intelligence and charm? I call bullshit!
Rory: I wish I’d known someone like you when I first came to college.
Me: So you didn’t intend to hook up with me…..well now I feel worse.
Rory: No don’t feel bad. We were talking about life and when you kissed me….
Me: Geez, I kissed you? I am such a loser.
Rory: No dude, you only did what I wanted to do.
I still couldn’t believe the Beta’s goody goody, Rory King was infatuated with me. I was just a freshman with nothing to offer, but inexperience and angst. I told him I kind of had a boyfriend, and he laughed and stuffed a couple hash browns into his mouth.
Rory: I kind of have a girlfriend, as you found out last night.
He winked at me and started to rub my crotch along with caressing his own. I think he was turned on by level of naivety. I kissed him and put my hands under his shirt to feel his chest. There was something about a guy’s chest that was starting to turn me on. I pulled away and told him I couldn’t do this anymore.
Me: Last night was a one time deal.
Rory: Unfortunately, I know you don’t mean that.
Me: Yes, I do. It would really hurt A to find out I was hooking up with another guy.
......
Me: Heck I just found out I liked hooking up with guys period!
Rory: ........
Me: Why aren’t you saying anything? This is a major life changing situation.
Rory: ……
Me: Well say something! Anything!
Rory: I want you and I will have you, so get ready to be courted.
Me: Courted? What is this medieval times? Just take me back to my dorm.
Rory cranked up that massive truck and made a beeline back to campus. He parked in a handicap space right outside the stairwell leading up to my room. I hopped out of the truck and he followed me into the building. He trailed about a foot behind not saying a word, but I could feel his eyes scanning my body. He was still imagining what he’d like to do to me. Gutter Mind. I walked up to the door and stopped.
Me: Okay, you can leave now.
Rory: How about I come in for just a minute?
I knew Theo would be back by now so I agreed only to make my ultimate dismissal seem more plausible. To my surprise, Theo was not back yet.
The one time I need him to sleep in late and he is out before 10AM!
I didn’t know what to do. Rory soon answered that question by pushing me down onto my bed and pouncing. As much as I tried to remove him, my body was starting to give in once again to his silky touch. I decided that if I was going to forget myself in the moment then I was taking charge. I flipped Rory off and climbed on top of him. He was not surprised by it and egged me on to do what I wanted to him. I had never been told to have my way with anyone. Adrian and I hadn’t even gotten to third base, yet I’d already lost all my cards with Rory and his ex-girlfriend. I passionately gave Rory what he wanted and made sure he didn’t forget who was in charge of this affair.
I wondered at the time would Adrian forgive me for what I’d done. For what I was doing, for what I was giving up. I was no longer an innocent freshman and it was the beginning of my own downward spiral.
Cheers to the approaching storm!
