College Passion

2:50 am

At nearly 3 in the morning. Tommy was up getting water when he heard the buzzer. Tommy went to the speaker.
"Yea?"
"Open the door." Tommy knew that voice. He could hear the anger in her voice. He simply buzzed her up. Kimberly was laying in bed, anger as hell, finally decided to comfort the boy that is haunting her every waking moment. Tommy opened the door at the one knock.
"You're soaking wet." She pulled away from his hands. "Come on, Kim, come in." He touched her bare shoulders and pulled her inside. Her clothes clung to her, the white skirt, sheer now, hair matted to her face. Tommy walked to her toward the laundry area. He searched for some towels and found a few. He came back carrying the towels. Kim slapped him hard. Tommy staggered backward.
"You are a jackass and I'm a fool." Tommy closed his eyes and walked toward her. Kim stepped back slightly, but Tommy cornered her against the wall and started rubbing down Kim.
"I'm sorry."
"How could you give that to her?! I thought we...I was wasting my time, huh?" She pushed him away.
"NO! I do love you!"
"Then why, Tommy? Why the damn diamond bracelet? Why the fuck did I have to hear about how all the fighting between you and her was over with it. That now the bracelet meant you love her, love her and not me!" He threw the towels down.
"It was meant for you." Tommy grabbed her shoulders.
"Wha..?"
"I was doing some laundry, she was in my room. She found it, I was about to do it, Kim. I was about to tell her how much I love you, how for the past 4 months we have been together and how I only want you. But she held up the bracelet with tears in her eyes. I froze, I tried to tell her, but she got so excited, kissed me and ran out with it. I...I should have ran her down and told her everything, but..."
"You're were scared."
"No, I'm not scared. I don't want to hurt her, but I think that's the only way we can be together." Tommy kissed Kim. "I want that and I care about us more than Kat's feelings. I'll get the bracelet back and.."
"I know, I'm sorry I blew up at you." She touched his cheek. "And hitting you."
"No, I'm sorry. This is all my fault. I should have told her months ago." Kim kissed his cheek. "Let's get you out of those wet clothes."
"Is that all you think about, getting me out of my clothes?" Tommy smiled.
"Shhh," Tommy took her hand and led her to his room.
Next day

Kimberly woke up against Tommy's chest. She smiled and started kissing his chest. Tommy groaned and his arm tightened around her.
"I love waking up to holding you."
"You just love cuddling."
"Hey!"
"Like it's a lie."
"I only cuddle because I know you love it."
"Yea right." He quickly turned her over laughing. Jason, who was making breakfast, heard laughing, followed by a loud moan. He smiled and shook his head. Kimberly went back to sleep. Tommy came out with just a short towel around his waist after a shower.
"Dude! Trying to eat here!"
"Everything is covered!"
"Not your face!" Rocky said digging into his plate.
"Funny, man." Tommy called the girl's loft. "Hi, Katherine, I was wondering if we could met up for breakfast. Okay, thanks, see you in 20 minutes."
Tommy got a box of cereal down and poured a bowel.
"Bro, why are you eating?"
"I won't be eating with Katherine, especially when I tell her the truth."
"Oh, right." Tommy got dressed. Kimberly woke up just as his boots were done.
"Hey." She sat up and wrapped her arms around him.
"Hey, Beautiful. I'll be back." Tommy rubbed her arms, before turning and kissing her. She laid down on her back.
"Where are you going?"
"To hell."
"Oh, bring some water," Kim said turned off her back and to her stomach, hugging one of his pillows. He crawled over and kissed her head.
"Don't you want to come with me?"
"Hell no! I'm gonna get mine as well." She reached back and kissed him. "Good luck, I guess." He kissed her again and again. She laughed as he started sucking on her neck. "Go, mister!" Tommy's arms around her, tightened. He gripped one breast. "Tommy!"
"I'm going!" They kissed and he left with a big deep breath.

10 am

"I found a spot outside."
"Oh, great." Katherine followed Tommy. "This is a great spot. The sun is great." She put the bear on the table and sat down with help from Tommy. "Why did you want me to bring the bear?" Katherine asked putting her napkin in her lap. Tommy found them a table outside away from a crowd. "And why is your tray nearly empty?"
"It wasn't meant for you. None of it."
"What do you mean, it wasn't meant for me?" Tommy pulled out the navy case and handed it over. Katherine hesitated and took it.
"Read the top. Engraved part."
~I am sorry that what I did made you doubt my love for you. There will never be another woman I love more than love you, Beautiful. I hope this bracelet makes you see how much I love you and want to spend my life with you. I love you, Kim. Your White Knight~
Katherine looked up and closed the case. Tears in her eyes.
"It was meant for Kimberly?"
"Yea." Tommy watched tears roll down her face.
"But why?"
"Over the last 4 months, I...Kimberly and I have been together."
"Together?"
"Yes."
"In what way?"
"In every way."
"Why?"
"Because I love her."
"Love her?" Katherine's voice cracked. "You love her?"
"Completely. With all my heart and soul. " He lifted the bear. On the butt was I love you, Beautiful. He showed it to Katherine. She covered her mouth. "I'm sorry."
"Why didn't you...why now?"
"Because I'm killing Kimberly by letting this go on. She doesn't deserve it."
"And me!? What the fuck do I deserve?!"
"Not this either, but I'm sorry. I wish I would have owned up to the truth before...I shouldn't had let this go on. I don't love you, I mean, I'm not in love with you. You will always have my heart, Katherine." He took her hand. "But only as a friend. I hope we can still be friends." Katherine snatched her hand away.
"I don't need a friend like you. You are nothing but a liar and a cheat. When she breaks your heart again, don't come to me." Katherine got up and walked out.
"I never did. You came to me." Tommy put their trays away and picked up the bear.


Kimberly was drying her clothes, wrapped in a sheet. Aisha came over with a change of clothes.
"Thank you."
"Katherine came back totally upset and crying."
"Did she yell?"
"Yea. She thought I knew the whole time, but I told her I just found out yesterday."
"I'm sorry, she should be angry at me, and only me." Tommy came into the loft a long walk around. "Hey."
"Hey." He kissed her cheek.
"How did it go?"
"As expected. But it will be fine."
"I gotta go to the library with my group, see you two later."
"Bye." Aisha left. Kimberly wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I love you."
"Can we just lay down a while?"
"And cuddle?" Tommy smiled.
"Yes."
"Of course." He picked her up bridal style and carried her to his bedroom. He kicked the door closed with his foot. Katherine came by and blew after catching the couple in bed kissing, the sheets just around their lower halves. She screamed at them. Kimberly not one to sit back, had her say as well. She ripped the sheet up to cover herself, and stood on her knees screaming back.
"You're nothing but a slut!"
"Slut!"
"Why else would he be with you?! You give it up willing, any man with a dick and quarter brain would be seduced by a slut like you?!"
"I am not a slut! You know, I was feeling so bad about all of this, but now, I feel nothing. Has it ever occurred to you that the reason why Tommy and I are together, is because he loves me? Me, not you. He never loved you." Tears rolled down Kat's face. "And never will, because his heart, body and soul belongs to me." Katherine went to hit her, but Kim caught her wrist and shoved her back. Tommy finally ended it pulling Kimberly back on the bed when Katherine stood up and spit at Kimberly. It landed on the bed, but made it's point. Kim jumped and started choking her. Tommy pulled her away and held on.
"Leave! Katherine, get out now!" Tommy struggled with Kimberly. Jason had to come in with Rocky and Tanya and pull her out. Katherine left crying on Tanya's shoulder. Rocky got an evil eye from Tanya as they left.

5:30 pm

Kimberly was helping Tommy find the box where he put Kat's things and things about their relationships.
"Okay, do I even have to ask?" Kimberly held up a dirty bowl from his closet.
"Shut up miss 3 cases of beer, 10 packs of wine coolers."
"Hey! I was bummed."
"You consumed enough alcohol for the next few years."
"True."
"Oh, found it," Tommy said pulled out the box from the beneath his bed. Kimberly took it from him on the bed and started going through it. "What are you doing?"
"I can't look?"
"No, it's just..." Kimberly lifted up a pink lacey bra.
"I thought you two never slept together."
"We didn't!" Tommy took the bra and shoved it into the box. "She left it here when she did laundry. I think she did it on purpose. Katherine, always wanted to wait until marriage."
"Did you?"
"What?"
"Wanted to wait until marriage?"
"No. I wanted to wait until I found the perfect woman."
"I'm not perfect."
"Close enough." They kissed. "Let's go get some dinner."
"Okay." Kimberly looked over herself in his mirror. Dressed in lavender tank, olive chinos and pink Converse hi-top sneakers. She pulled her hair into a ponytail and followed Tommy. "When are you going to cut this tail?"
"Jealous." She stuck her tongue out at him. Tommy bent down and kissed her. He caught her tongue. Kimberly laughed as she started sucking on her neck. Katherine came into the loft with Tanya. Kimberly and Tommy were swaying back and forth as they kissed against the couch. Tommy's hand ran up and down her back, as her arms around his neck, as she ran her hands through his hair and caressing his neck. Katherine handed over her box to Tanya and walked back to the door. She slammed it, causing the couple to pull apart.
"God, Katherine, Tanya, hey." Katherine took the box and walked over to them.
"Your crap." Tommy went to take it, but Katherine purposely dropped it at his feet.
"I'll go get yours." He picked up the box and went into his room. Kimberly leaned up against the couch, staring off. Katherine stood with her arms across her chest, angrily staring at Kimberly. Kim sucked her teeth. She looked and saw them staring at her.
"Okay," Kimberly said standing up straight as she saw Tommy coming out.
"Here you go." Katherine took the box.
"We need to go," Kimberly said. Tommy took her hand and they led Katherine and Tanya out. They took the elevator down. It was the quietest elevator ride down. Katherine watched them pull away in her car. She put her head on Tanya's shoulder as she cried.
Tommy and Kimberly came into the girls' loft laughing and kissing. They stopped with Tanya in the loveseat. Kimberly pulled Tommy to her room. He helped her pack up clothes, books, etc.
"Wrap Tino."
"We can just carrying it."
"You break it, you buy me a new one."
"Fine." Kimberly changed into some PJs, pink tank, Gizmo pants. Tommy closed up her suitcase. Kimberly handed over several other bags to him on his back. Aisha came in.
"Need help carrying those bags out?"
"Thanks. Can you get Bunny, Aaron, LDZ, Lucky and Jeter?"
"Oh, no, no. My bed is not going to be filled with animals and a Jeter doll."
"Tough."
"I accepted Gizmo and LDZ in bed, but no more."
"You only took them, because you won them for me."
"Exactly, now leave them."
"No." Aisha smiled and took the stuff animals, along with her book bag. Katherine came out her room to find them carrying Kim's things out. She went back into her room and slammed the door.
"God, she needs a new attitude," Aisha said.
"So, just tell my mother to call the boys' number if she needs me," Kim said getting into the passenger side.
"Okay."
"Thanks."
"No problem." She smiled and waved them off.
Tommy and Kimberly laid in his bed kissing. Tommy's hand up her tank, caressing her stomach, as she held his face. She moaned into his mouth. As Tommy's hand moved up and cupped her breast.
"Tommy, wait."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just...I just feel so bad for Katherine. I mean, here we are about to make love and she's in her room crying and cursing our names. I know I shouldn't feel guilty, but I can't help it."
"I know. And that's why I love you so much. You are so compassionate for everyone else and I feel awful about the pain Katherine is going through now. I wish I could help her and make it go away, breaks up suck. I know. I was in a funk for a long time."
"You didn't barricade yourself in your room for 5 days, getting drunk, writing songs, drawing, painting, cursing your name and our love." Tommy laughed.
"So true."
"Hey!" She slapped his chest. Tommy bent down and kissed her.
"I love you."
"I love you too," she whispered against his lips. Tommy kissed her lightly, pulling her pants and underwear down in one move. Kimberly pulled her tank off, as Tommy shoved his pants to the ground. He moved back between her legs, bringing her legs over his hips. Kimberly arched her back, as he slid inside her. She smiled as he filled her. Tommy dipped his head to kiss her. They made love and fell asleep.

2 days later
10:20 am

Kimberly was waiting as Tommy was getting dressed. She loved to watch her baby run around trying to hurry and not be late for once.
"Class in 15 minutes!" She yelled sitting on the counter eating a bowl of cereal. Dressed in lt blue tee, khaki flares and natural military thongs. Tommy came out brushing his hair. Kim made a traveling mug of coffee.
"Can you make me a bowl?"
"Sure. Puffs or Charms?"
"Puffs, no Charms. Wait! Puffs." She dropped the leftover milk into the sink and made him a bowl. Tommy passed by often and she feed him. He was buttoning his shirt finally.
"Okay, I'm ready." She feed him again.
"With 7 minutes to spare, we might make it on time!" Tommy lifted her up over his shoulder. She screamed. He grabbed his backpack and her bag on the way out.

6 pm

Tuesday night dinner was hard. Kimberly straighten her orange long multi-tiered skirt as she got out Tommy's truck. Tommy took her hand as Kim's pulled her pink cami down. Tommy and her had a quickie in the truck on the way. She fixed her brown espadrilles. They walked in holding hands.
"Only 20 minutes late," Aisha said. "Oh, your lipstick."
"Oops," Kimberly said checking herself.
"Not you." Tommy quickly started wiping his lips. "Peach is nice." Rocky laughed. Jason helped Aisha into her seat, while Tommy did the same for Kimberly. Tanya and Katherine were looking through the menu.
"What is the special?"
"Seafood pasta." Kimberly looked over Tommy's menu. She wiped the corner of his mouth. They ordered and waiting on their food.
"So, I was thinking about spending fall break maybe at my uncle's cabin, if anyone is interested," Tommy said getting another roll and handed it to Kimberly. She buttered it and took a bite. Spring break at UCLA wouldn't be until October 18th , the next Friday.
"Sounds good," Aisha said.
"I can't, I promised my Mom I would come home," Adam said.
"Oh, I'll bet you can get out of it," Aisha said. "My Mom wants me home too, but I bet I can talk her out of it."
"Maybe."
"I'm game, skiing and snowboarding all week."
"I hear there is a great storm coming in the next few weeks."
"Why not?" Jason said as 2 waiters came over with trays of food. Katherine watched Tommy be feed some linguine by Kim. He snatched a shrimp from her plate. She laughed and made a face at him. He feed her a piece of his steak. Aisha shared her salmon cakes with Kimberly. They ordered dessert.
"God, I feel like I've gained 10 pounds in one sitting," Kimberly said finishing ice cream sundae with Tommy. He took the last cherry only to have Kim pout. He kissed her, forcing the cherry into her mouth.
"Looks like it," Katherine muttered. Kim looked at her. Tommy put his arm around.
"Yea right." They left the restaurant pretty late, as usual, the manager knew the gang as his favorite college groups of beautiful ladies and handsome boys.
Tommy and Kimberly laid in bed kissing after making love. Tommy rubbed her head.
"So I was thinking you were right."
"Of course I am. About what?"
"Cutting my hair."
"Really?!" She held his face.
"Yea, but only if you do it."
"Can I cut it as short as I want?"
"Sure. I'm leaving my hair in your hands."
"Oh, I love you!" She kissed him. "Tomorrow."
"No, no, no. Give me at least a day to rethink this." She laughed.
"Okay." They kissed. "I promise I'll make it sexy and stylish."
"I know." They went to sleep kissing and hugging one another.

Next morning

Tommy had early morning classes with Kimberly. After a quick shower, they got dressed. Kimberly in fuchsia tank, light blue jeans and black Skechers sneakers.
"After your dance class, let's go down to the pool."
"Okay. Class might not be long, because we are suppose to be showing our new dances steps for midterms." Tommy packed his book bag as Kimberly did the same. Tommy dropped her off at her building before heading off to his classes. The only shared two classes on Wednesday, Freshman 101 and College English and Writing. At the pool, Tommy found 2 places for them. Kimberly undid her navy snap polo dress after slipping from her flip flops, revealing her black string bikini. Tommy pulled off his shirt and gasped. Kimberly just brought the bikini for that reaction, she smiled as she folded her dress. All the guys stopped to stare at Kimberly. Some even having their girlfriends with them slapping them over the head with something. Kim sat down. Tommy sat down on her chair and reached for some suntan lotion. As she laid down, he started applying lotion.
"You are never to wear that again in public," Tommy whispered in her ear. She moaned and smiled. Tommy gave her a full body massage as he applied the lotion. They both laid out a while, nearly an hour. Kim wanting a tan, before they took a dip in the pool. A volleyball match was beginning, Tommy and Kimberly decided to join in.
"Does the little lady needs floaters to stay up?" A guy on the other side mocked at Kim. Kimberly smirked at him. It was her turn to serve. As the guy turned his back, Kimberly served the ball right at him, hitting him in the head. Everyone laughed.
"Point for us," Kim said to him. Tommy gave her a high-five. Their team ended up winning the set in 3 games. They went home to do some homework for the night. Tommy was working on a paper, as Kimberly sat on his bed, still in her bikini. She was typing her paper on her berry Apple laptop. Both working on their College English and Writing papers, it was a freshman literature class required for all to take.
"I hate this assignment!" Tommy hit his computer keyboard. "It's too confusing!"
"What's wrong?"
"This, all of this! I hate poetry!"
"Poetry is not so bad!"
"Why can't they just say what they want, why must everything have a riddle?!" Kimberly saved her work and went over to him. She looked at the page.
"I love John Donne. He used to write love poems before becoming an Anglicanism. Then his stuff went all religious."
"How do you know so much?"
"I read." She ended up helping in on the 3 poems.
"Want the fan on?" Tommy asked as Kim pulled the covers back. She shook her head.
"Nah, I'm good." She was in her PJs like him. Tommy pushed aside gizmo and Lucky. He turned off the lamp after getting under the covers with Kim. Kimberly smiled and hugged them both before settling them at her other side with her big red dog and jeter doll. "Goodnight. Love you" She kissed him. Tommy allowed her to lay on his chest as she hugged her LDZ animal.
"Goodnight, Beautiful. I love you too." He kissed the top of her head.

a little over a week later
2 pm

It was Friday, October 18th. Spring Break begin today at 4pm. Kimberly took her dance mid-term Wednesday so she could have the whole afternoon to cut Tommy's hair. Dressed in plum silk tunic, white crop pants and brown espadrilles, she pulled out her supplies and placed them around the chair. Tommy had been avoiding it for over a week now. She put out the chair, clippers, robe, and scissors. Tommy sat in the chair, no one was there, they still had their classes and mid-term exams to do. Kimberly knew she had nearly an 2-hour window to do this. Tommy walked around the chair for nearly 5 minutes, before Kimberly could get him to sit down. He jumped up when she went to put the robe around him. Kim laughed and shook her head. 'My poor baby' she thought. Kim turned the radio on low. She was glad they were packed for the mountains trip. Everyone would be ready to leave around 5pm.
"Promise to make it look right."
"I will!" She put the robe around him. They were right beside the terrace balcony doors.
"Not to close with the electric razer."
"I won't! Will you relax." Kimberly pulled his hair back into a ponytail. She lifted the scissors up, just as she grabbed the ponytail, Tommy shot up and out the chair. Kim laughed.
"Sorry. I mean, this...I shouldn't be so..."
"Jumpy?" She patted the chair. Tommy sat back down. "Really, baby. I love you."
"I know. I love you too. Sorry. Go ahead." She grabbed the ponytail and held the scissors to it. Tommy jerked away. "Sorry." He sat back. Kimberly went to cut it when he moved again. "Sorry."
"Gonna need your head to stay put."
"I know, sorry." She went again, Tommy once again, moved away. "Kim, sorry." He sat back. He jerked and all she did was open the scissors. Kim sighed. "Sorry."
"Look, if you hate it, if you hate it one second, I'll cut my hair too. Forget that, I'll cut my hair."
"What?" Kim moved around and straddled his lap.
"You heard me. Let me do this, and I promise, I'll cut my hair too."
"Okay." She smiled and kissed him. Kimberly decided to kiss him passionately to keep him distracted. Tommy didn't feel Kim's hand move to his ponytail. Kimberly in one swift move cut his hair. Tommy gripped the chair arms and he pulled away from her lips. She sat back and showed the long ponytail. "I can't believe you just did that."
"See, not so bad." Tommy took the ponytail and stared at it. "I promise, you'll look soo sexy. I'll want to eat you up." She held his face and kissed him quickly. Tommy let the ponytail fall to the ground, as Kimberly continued cutting. His hands holding the chair arms as he watched hair fall to the ground again and again. She sprayed water on his hair as she cut it. She used the electric razer and got a slight flinch from Tommy, but after the initial cut, that was it. Tommy just sat smiling in the chair allowing Kimberly to work. Jason came into the loft with Aisha laughing about their global mid-term. Kim opt to take her test early on Thursday, so she could miss class.
"Oh my god!" Aisha stopped, staring at Tommy. He looked up.
"What?!" Aisha and Jason's jaws dropped. "What?!" Tommy went to move, but Kim held him back.
"It's nothing, let me finish." She did her final cuts. Rocky came in with Tanya, Adam and Tracy. They all stood there with their mouths opened. Kimberly brushed off any hair before pulling off the robe. She reached down for the mirror smiling. "Oh, it's so sexy." She held the mirror to her chest to show him. Tommy looked at himself. His eyes went wide. "I know, I know. It's probably shorter than you wanted, but once I started, I couldn't help myself!" She ran her hand through the top to spike it a little more. "It will grow out fast and you can twist and spike. Guys, doesn't it look nice?" They all stood there in shock. "Guys! Well!?" Kim turned to them.
