18 Lets go public (1/2)
Joslyn was laying across Russ's chest panting as he ran his fingers up and down the length of her back, a strange ringtone sounded breaking the charged silence of the small living room. Russ wrapped one arm around Joslyn tightly as he leaned sideways to retrieve his phone from the coffee table.
”Sup?” Russ answered. He chuckled as he listened to the other side of the conversation. He glanced down at Joslyn, a mischievous smile playing across his face. ”No, I haven't forgotten about the fundraiser party tonight. I just got a little distracted.” He chuckled again as Joslyn's face turned a deep crimson. He crunched forward to kiss the tip of her nose.He continued to answer the endless questions from the other end of the call. ”Yeah…. Yes!I'll see what I can do.” He met her eyes as he chuckled and replied, ”I'll see if I can get her to tag along.” He winked at her as he ended the call.
Joslyn tilted her head as she looked at him questioningly. She tried to push herself up off him but before she could make any progress he pulled her down hard against his chest and curled himself upward to capture her lips.He twisted one hand into the back of her hair and used the grip to deepen the kiss.By the time he laid his head back down on the arm of the couch, Joslyn was completely out of breath.
He looked up at her lovingly, ”Come out with me tonight. The boys swim team is having a fundraiser tonight, all first years have to participate.”He ran his fingers through her hair playfully as he waited on her answer.
”Oh? I hadn't heard about it.” She looked away slightly embarrassed.
Russ pulled her face back around to force her to look him in the eyes. ”Joslyn you have nothing to be embarrassed by.” he said as she tried to pull her face away from his grip, but he forced her to maintain eye contact with him. ”Jos, I love you and correct me if I'm wrong, but I think we can call ourselves together after last night and today. Do you plan to never be seen in public with me again? It would be weirder if we didn't go to things like this together, wouldn't it? considering we, all four, usually go to parties and shit together?”
Joslyn tried pulling away from him again, knowing good and well he was beginning to get angry.She squeezed her eyes tightly closed, ”Russ we just started… Half the team is in my class... It could cause trouble for the professor... for the college, to have one of their TA's openly dating a student.”
Russ cut her off as he pulled himself into a sitting position on the couch bringing her onto his lap as he moved. ”Fine, I guess we can just stay here tonight and pick up where we left off.There's still plenty of places I've fantasized about. The balcony, for instance… and the pool.” He chuckled as she drew in a sharp gasp.
”Ok! I'll go!” Joslyn yelped as he began toying with her hips.
He chuckled again as she began trying to wiggle off his lap. ”You keep that up and we will be staying here, whether you agree or not.” He pulled her face down to his and gave her a lingering kiss, before releasing her.”Go get dressed, we are using the stage at the bar.” He didn't fight her this time as she pushed her self up using his shoulders as leverage, instead he smacked her bare ass as she turned around to head to her room causing her to gasp again.
She glanced back at him as she walked past the end of the oversized couch, he had leaned back onto the cushions, naked, phone in hand. ”Are you going like that, then?”
He looked up from his phone and shrugged his shoulders, ”More or less.” He shot her a wicked grin, ”Hurry up so I can watch you leave.” When her eyes grew large and her face colored again, he winked at her and lowered his head back down to the phone. As she continued down the hallway, Russ glanced up from the text he was typing to watch the soft bounce of her backside as she disappeared.He finally looked back down at his phone.
Russ hit send [How is Shelly? I've tried texting her a few times today but she wouldn't respond.]
Raven's reply pinged his phone nearly immediately after his message posted. [Being a bratty teenager, what's new?! She came to the bar with me earlier, last I saw her she was outside talking to some guys at the VB courts. Are you still coming down this way tonight?]
Russ sent a quick 'yeah' before switching conversations over to read a text sent earlier by the Captain of the boy's swim team. He laughed as he read it. ”Jos is going to kill me…” he said out loud as he shook his head and switched back over to continue talking to Raven.
