unknown pony and darkmune

She smiled as they headed out to leave she reached over softly taking his hand in hers, she looked up at him happily "I had a great time with you tonight" she said softly "I look forward to the next time we get together" she said softly once they reached her dorm she pulled him into a deep kiss leaning against the door slightly.

Hunter smiled back at her as he held her hand< yeah, i know, i did too." he said, nodding in agreement. he smiled even more as she kissed him deeply. carefully he set his hands on her hips, lightly. when they pulled back from the kiss he smiled some. "not even out of your touch and I'm already missing you" he said softly to her, gently running his fingers um and down her side in a almost absent minded manner.

"tomorrow are we still on for the bookstore?" she asked "if so I'll meet you there at 11 we can have coffee" she said softly she gave him a soft peck "goodnight" she said softly and went inside. she was so happy she stripped and pulled on a camisole and left on her panties falling asleep only dreaming of a repeat of that night.

"yeah, defiantly." he said, nodding slightly before she walked up to her room. a bit of smile on his face, Hunter walked back to his dorm. He wasn't entirely sure if he'd get to sleep or not that night. but he felt pretty good at that moment, it didn't seem that even his annoying room mate could get him down... well actually, the minute he saw the guy it would, but till then, it was good.

When Alex got to her room, Jessica was already asleep..well zonked out and thankfully not snoring was more the accurate description...

When Hunter got 'home, he stripped off his jeans, and threw of a pair of old gym shorts before hitting the sack.

Alex slept deeply till about 9 she rolled out of bed hopping into the shower and cleaned up a bit she always liked the shower. She got out drying off letting her hair curl slightly from the moisture that remained. She pulled out a pair of baggy old black cargo's and a brown camisole these outfits always complimented her body nicely. she applied a bit of eyeliner and mascara and dashed out the door snatching her bag on the way out. She made it to the book store a couple minutes early she wasn't sure how long it would take her to walk there.

Hunter was up far earlier then 9 am more like 6 am, he hit the weight room in the school gym for an hour before he took a quick shower in the locker room and got dressing simple Levi jeans, t-shirt and sneakers. He knew where where the bookstore was, and he was actually there waiting for Alex when she arrived. He smiled and waved to her as she got closer. "Good morning beautiful. " he said, still smiling. "you want to get some coffee or grab the books first?" he asked.

She blushed deeply when he called her beautiful " books first sounds good they have bunch on the sale rack might as well raid it sometimes they have some neat stuff there" She said softly she kissed him lightly on the lips and smiled up at him "I take it you rested well" she said softly. the strange thing about Alex was once you got past the spiked barrier of doom she actually sought some one she could lean on every once in a while but that was hard to for her to open up that much though she was opening so easily for him. "I heard rumors of a college party tonight want to go"

"Good idea" he said, before she kissed him. "Yeah, I did, better then I expected I would." he added in replies to he statement of seeming well rested. but when she mentioned a party that night he had to pause and think on it. he wasn't much of a party goer, but he'd go if only to see whats happening and mingle with likely what few people he knew. figuring it better to be truthful he nodded a bit. and told her the truths. "Sounds cool. While I'm not of a party goer, but it'd be nice to get out and mingle a bit." he said.

"then it's a date meet me at my dorm at 7 and we'll go together I've been wanting to get out and have some fun since I got here" she said softly She smiled and took his hand softly this was a light hint that she wanted something besides a couple of dates but did not want to move too fast. "I rested well myself I had a lot of fun last night with you. To be honest I haven't had that much fun in quite a while" she said softly. She looked away a bit shyly, "well I need some more odd books to browse through in the evenings" she said softly though she hope dhe would fill up those evenings.

Hunter simply smiled and nodded in agreement. "Well, I'm glad I made you night better." he said. when she mentioned odd books to browse though in the evenings, he chuckled some. "I'd recommend Katie MacAlister, and maybe Gerry Bartlette" he said, names two authors he had heard about. both wrote modern books about women, as far as he knew, though he hoped he'd fill up those evenings himself, but knew that they would be apart sometimes.

She smiled a bit "but perhaps you might be able to fill up most of my evenings so I won't need so many books to keep me busy" she said softly and walked over picking up a book about castles in scottland and started flipping through it these were the books she browsed through at night she found them entertaining. She stopped on one page to read a bit of the info on the castle. She was trying to distract herself slightly so she could continue to take thing slow with him.

Hunter smiled as she spoke. by the end he had to softly chuckle and nod. "I was hoping the same thing, just didn't want to say anything and jump the gun." he explained as he looked through the selection of other European books for a moment before he turned and looked over Alex's shoulder as she looked at the book. he recognized the pictures as Scottish Castles. With a funny smile he got an idea. and suddenly changed his accent to a more Scottish as he spoke. "So lass, ye like the old-countries royal fortifications?" he said, and playfully poked her side with a finger. he had hoped it would come off as funny, but mentally readied for another punch if he deserved it.

She laughed a bit and reached over and gave his side a squeeze she continued looking at the book she found castles to be very interesting. She put the book back and moved in close wrapping her arms around his neck looking up at him. "you are too goofy sometimes but I like it" she said smiling up at him happily.

Hunter chuckled slightly and wraps his arms around her waist "Would you rather me be the overly serious type" he asked, jokingly as he smiled back as he looked down at her. "Cause this is just how I am?" he add and leaned down, kissing her lightly on the lips. "so let me guess, you find castles interesting?" he asked.

"I like goofy its more fun that way and yes I've always liked castles ever since I was a small child it wasn't just the history but the adventure of them" she said softly she laughed at herself a bit and kissed him back. She slid her fingers through his hair a bit. She pulled away blushing a bit She picked up a few of what looked like good reads, the book on castles, a french dictionary, and novel for lit. She headed over to the check out.

Hunter smiled and rubbed her lower back as she ran her fingers through his hair till she pulled away. like Alex, he piked up a few few books he found interesting, and the few other school books he would need and headed for the checkout as well. "So. want to go get some coffee now?" he asked after then got their books and he gently wrapped his arm around waist.

"ya lets go do that" she said softly she smiled up at him "I like spending time with you and...I would like to do this more often" she said softly she bit her lip lightly he had charmed her in a way. She let him kind of lead her to the coffee area. She normally drank a chai tea. She looked up at him he was making her want to stay she wasn't miserable anymore.

Hunter smiled as he nodded some in agreement. he wanted to stay with her as well, but it was too early to think like that just yet. "yeah. I would too?" he said, as they they walked to the coffee area, but hunter stopped them at a unoccupied table. "here, I'll go the drinks. what would you like?" he asked, being a gentlemen, he pulled out a chair for Alex to sit in.

"a chai tea please" she said softly she sat down in the chair and relaxed for a moment once he left she sighed heavily she needed to force herself to go slow. She needed to go slow for both of them or they would be hurt her most of all. She sat there trying to ease herself slightly. The problem was he was everything she'd been looking for he could protect, he was kind, intelligent. He was too good to be true.

Hunter nodded some and smiled. "Chai-tea. got ya." he said as he set his bag of books down in a chair before heading for the counter. ordering Alex's tea and plain coffee and cream for himself. it gave him a bit of time to think as he waited. He like Alex, that he knew, but he knew they also needed take it slow. when the drinks arrived, he payed for them and took them back their table. "Chai-Tea for you. and a hot cup of Java for myself." he said. as he set the tea down in front of her before taking a seat himself across from her.

Alex smiled at him as he came back with their drinks "it is nice to relax I needed to get away from my parents you know?" she said softly. She looked over at him biting her lip "after this we should probably get back to our dorms to study a bit for classes so we will have clue when we get to class. plus if you spend too much time with me you might grow bored of me" she said softly.

Hunter chuckled some as she spoke softly. "I'd hardly get bored of you, Alex, I mean if anything i think your the most interesting person I've ever meet." he said before taking a sip of his coffee. "but I can agree, it's good to relax. If you don't then you'll end up getting stressed out, and that is never a good thing for all parties involved." he explained, leaning back a bit in his seat.

"I just want to try to take things slow you know. I've been hurt... a lot and I don't want to rush into anything" she said softly. She looked down into her tea she was afraid to look up she didn't want him to see all of the emotions she hid. She took a sip of her tea "I...its just...you are so different than any other guy I've met and I really don't want to ruin anything by rushing it....I should probably head back to the dorm for a bit I need to read over a couple of chapters for psychology."

Hunter gave a silent sigh and nodded some "I understand." he said, as he reached across the table and took her hand, softly rubbing his thumb over her knuckles. "We'll take things step by step and see where it leads us. okay?" he asked softly, smiling at her reassuringly, if she wanted to go slow, then they would go slow, he didn't want to rush things either, but he did want to spend more time with her if he could.

"I just think I should tell you this I'm not looking for a fling I'm looking for something more serious than that" she said softly and got up finishing her tea "I need to go. I don't think party would be so smart for taking it slow. We should find something else to do here's my cell" she said jotting down her number for him quickly. She wasn't sure she could take it slow with him not wiht how badly she wanted to be closer to him so she was going to force herself.
