laid her back against the pillows, and his
hands and his lips roamed over her, like he was memorizing her.  She brought
his lips back to hers, pulling him on top of her.  The feel of his warm, bare
chest against hers was intoxicating.  Her fingers and mouth roamed every inch
they could reach.  She was getting drunk on the feel of him. 
    “They’re in Cole’s room, let me just
grab them,”someone
yelled just as the door swung open and the light flipped on.  Cole’s head
snapped up, and Bri gasped, grabbing the blanket and pulling it over herself. 
Matt stood in the doorway, completely shocked.  He withered under the weight of
Cole’s glare.
    “Cole, dude, I’m sorry,”Matt held up his
hands.  His eyes flicked over to Bri for a moment, before darting back to
Cole.  “I didn’t know you were here.  I didn’t realize I would be interrupting
anything.”   He
gave Cole a knowing smile.  Bri pulled the blanket over her head, groaning in
embarrassment. 
    “Matt,”Cole said slowly.  “If you don’t get
out of here right now, I’m going to beat the living crap out of you.”
    “Sure, yeah, let me just grab my
headphones,”Matt
inched over to the dresser and grabbed them.  “I’m really sorry, man,”he laughed as he
backed out the door, finally closing it behind him.
    Groaning, Cole dropped onto his
side.  After a moment, he pulled the blanket back from Bri’s face. 
    “Okay, that was about the most
embarrassing thing ever,”she laughed nervously, turning on her side to face him.
    “I’m going to kill him,”Cole shook his
head, eyeing the door.  “Matt is a dead man.”
    “Good, then he can’t come looking
for his headphones again.  Why did you even have them in the first place?”
    Running a hand through his hair, he
sat up.  “When Matt has a girl over, it can get a little…loud.  I borrow his
headphones so I don’t have to listen to him and his dates.  I never thought
that’d come back to bite me in the ass.”
    “Ah.  Well, next time we’re at the
mall, I’m buying you your own headphones.”   She sat up, pulling up her leotard.
    “Wait!  What are you doing?”  
    “Come on, even you have to admit
that getting busted by your roommate was kind of a mood killer.”
    “Seriously?  Oh, now I’m going to
chop him up into tiny, unrecognizable pieces.”   Shaking his head, he gave Bri a seductive look.  “Are you sure I can’t
change your mind?”   He
leaned in and placed a sultry kiss on her lips.  Bri indulged him for a minute,
but then pulled back.
    “Let’s try this another time.  Maybe
when we know we won’t be interrupted,”she smiled sadly.
    “When are we ever going to
have guaranteed, uninterrupted time together?  It’s practically impossible.”  
    Bri cupped his pouting face in her
hands.
    “We’ll figure it out, I promise,”she kissed him
softly.  His arms wrapped around her and pulled her into him.
    “But when?  I don’t think I can wait
any longer.  Not when I got so close.”
    “Soon,”she promised. She gathered up her
things, and Cole followed her reluctantly to the front door, shrugging his
shirt back on.
    “Just don’t make me wait too long,
okay?”
    “Don’t worry, I can’t wait much
longer either.  Goodnight,”she kissed him goodbye.
    “It almost was,”he gave her a
lopsided grin.  “There’s no way I’m getting any sleep tonight.”
    “Me neither.”   She smacked his butt as she walked
out the door.
    “Ambria,”he groaned from the doorway.  “You’re
going to be the death of me.  You know that, don’t you?”
    “Of course,”she smirked back at him.  “Why do you
think I have all the power.  See you tomorrow.  Love you.”
    “Prove it,”he challenged with a wink.  “Love you,
too.  Sweet dreams, Ambria.”
    She smiled, and started off for
home.

    It seemed like Bri blinked, and it
was Thanksgiving already.  Time was flying faster than she could keep up with.
