"Chris? Chris?"

"What?" Christina said, snapping out of her daydream.

"Are you listening?"

"Uh, no, sorry. What were you saying?"

"Well, I was just saying that we only have to type the final copy and put together the board, so which do you want to do?"

"Oh i don't care." She said.

"Okay, I'll put the board together." Drew said.

It was Thursday afternoon, and Christina were sitting on the floor of Christina's apartment, putting the final touches on their biology project. It had gone fairly well, although Christina had done much of the work. She didn't mind, though, Drew was pretty entertaining. She asked a lot of questions, but she seemed nice. She always insisted that they work at Chris's place, though.

"So what were you thinking about?" Drew asked her.

"Oh, nothing." Christina said, tucking some hair behind her ears.

"Oh come on."

"No....You wouldn't want to hear it." She said.

"Was it about taylor?'

"yeah." Christina said.

"Oh, do tell."

"No, no...."

"Oh, did you just get your ear pierced?" Drew asked, motioning to Christina's ear.

"Yeah." She said with a smile. "I got it last weekend."

"Oh."

"Me and Taylor both got one." She said with a sheepish grin.

"Taylor got one?"

"Uh huh." Christina said, smiling.

"I didn't know that." Drew said.

"Yeah, he actually convinced me to do it."

"Do what?"

"Get my ear pierced."

"Oh." Drew said with a giggle.

"What?"

"I thought you meant something else." She said, smiling down at the floor.

"What?" Christina asked.

"I thought you meant....you know..." She said.

"Uh, no, i'm afraid not." Christina said. What was Drew getting at?

"You know, convinced you to do it."

"Oh." Christina said.

"So have you?"

"Have I what?" She asked, still not really following her.

"Had sex? With Taylor?" Drew asked.

"Oh." Christina said. That seemed like a forward question. But they were in college. Sex was somewhat casual, wasn't it?

"Uh, no. We haven't." Christina said, shaking her head.

"Oh." Drew said.

"Yeah." Christina said.

"Is he a good kisser?"

"Um, yeah." Christina said. "I guess so."

where is she going with this? She asked herself. She kept asking the strangest questions about Taylor.

"He looks like he would be." Drew said.

Christina was about to protest when Taylor walked in. "Hi." he said, dumping his back pack on the floor next to the door.

"Hey." he said, leaning down to kiss Christina on the cheek. "Hi." he said to Drew.

"Hi Taylor." She said. Was it just Christina, or did she just wink at him?

Taylor just nodded and walked around the corner to the kitchen.

"Um, it's getting late...." Christina prodded.

"Oh yeah, I don't want to walk home in the dark." Drew said.

"Yeah, we wouldn't want that." Christina said as Drew practically drooled at Taylor.

"here's your coat." She said, handing it to Drew.

"Thanks." She said, taking it. She barely took her eyes off Taylor.

Christina opened the door. "Thanks for your help." She said. Drew walked out into the hallway, gave a last smile at the two of them before Christina all but slammed the door in her face.

She turned around, locked the door twice, and leaned on it. Taylor emerged from the kitchen, eating some old Chinese food. "I take it you don't like her."

"Where would you get that idea." Christina mumbled, walking to her room where she changed into some old sweats and a t-shirt. She emerged and then flopped on the couch.

"I guess not." Taylor said, setting the carton down. Christina turned on the TV and took off her glasses. She started to mindlessly flip though the channels. Taylor kicked off his boots and went into her room to change also. He emerged in his pajamas which consisted of flannel pants. He flopped down beside her.

"So how was your day?" She asked.

"Terrible." He said.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, i didn't get the grade I wanted on my paper for comp, and my ear hurts." He said.

"I take advil." She said, reaching for her purse. She gave him two, then sat back down.

"Thanks honey." he said.

"Oh I'm honey now?" She asked, looking at him. "Oh great."

"What, can't I call you honey if I want to?"

"Only today, because I can see that you had a bad day." She said.

"Thanks honey." he said, laying down so that his head was in her lap. She stroked his head, being careful of his ear. She gently traced her fingers around the sensetive area behind his ear and on his neck. She patted his head, cradleling it in her warm lap. Taylor moaned as she took the elastic band out of his hair and patted his head. He closed his eyes and sighed.

"You're welcome pumpkin." She said.

"No no, that's where the line is drawn." he said.

"Okay pumpkin." She said with a giggle.

Taylor whipped his head up then started to tickle her stomach. She giggled and struggled, but he held her down. Taylor lifted up her shirt and started kissing her stomach.

"That still tickles." She said.

Taylor laughed, causing her to giggle even more.

He kissed her stomach more, then took his head out. She lifted her shirt off, then he helped remove her bra. He kissed her chest a few moments, then moved up to her neck, then to her mouth. A few minutes later, he picked her up, and carried her into the dark bedroom.
