				Adam Cain sighed deeply as he slid the last of the plastic containers under his bed. In the ever increasing war on dormitory room space one could never be too careful. He was slightly irritated because traffic had been murder with the shuttle buses coming from the local airport and he had to deal with a crappy parking spot; so every piece of furniture and whatever have you had to be hauled uphill in the dying, but doing so hard, summer heat. <br><br>The truly ironic part was he had to be down at the student center in... half an hour by his watch, to greet those same students as they came from their flight. He had anthropology this semester and for early extra credit, he had to show a student around and right a paper on it. <br><br>"Might as well break in the shower now." The dorm he stayed in was co-ed so every odd floor was male and every even was female. He was on the seventh of eight floors. It was an elevator ride for sure. Walking down the hall in his bathrobe he quickly showered and dressed in a dark-green T-shirt and blue jeans, and sneakers. It wasn't that formal of a thing. Thank God.<br><br>He checked the room and locked the door as he left. He was a runner so the walk to the student center wasn't hard. He was a tad on the tall side with short blond hair and smokey green eyes. He had a days worth of light stubble having shaved that morning. He had lean features, and a longish nose.<br><br>He saw the plethora of students milling around and grabbed one of the Foreign Aide T-shirts sliding it over the one he had on. "Your late." the person at the fold-up table told him.<br>"Long walk." Adam muttered and looked into the crowd. <br><br>Crap... he thought.

				"Um....Excuse me. Miss?"<br>"Hi, I'm Casey, are you Anita?"<br>"No. I'm Eliana. My....guide is a man. I thought his name was Aiden...No, Adam."<br>"Adam? Lemme look at my list. Come with me."<br>The short blonde girl took ahold of of the lean Israeli girls hand before leading her towards a table with several aides sitting behind it. Eliana had light olive skin, hazel eyes, and medium brown hair that was slightly curly and ran about halfway down her back. As she stood there, she looked around slowly, not really sure what to make of all this. There were so many people around, and they all seemed to be able to find who they were looking for. She however, couldn't even attempt it. Her attention was all over the place, and it was impossible for her to find the boy she was supposed to find.<br><br>As she stood there, the blonde went through the different sheets of paper before turning back to the lithe woman.<br>"What's your last name?"<br>"Yosef. Eliana Yosef."<br>"Alright, you should be with.........Adam Cain."<br>"Um, alright. What does he look like?"<br>"Oh! Right, um, lemme help you find him."<br>She smiled and fixed her white, button down shirt that clung to her upper body loosely before she pulled her light blue jeans up. The blonde led her around for several minutes, before finally approaching the pretty eyed boy.<br>"Adam, this is Eliana Yosef. She's yours for the week. Eliana, whatever questions you have, you can ask him."<br>"Alright, thank you miss."<br>"You're welcome."<br>The short girl walked away, leaving the five foot six girl standing in front of him with a bit of a smile before she started speaking.<br><br>"Hello Mr. Cain. Um, hmmmm..."<br>Her english was pretty good, but she still had trouble figuring out exactly what she wanted to say.<br>"Where...do I sleep? Is it close by, or will we be traveling...far away?"<br>She asked sweetly, her voice like an angels as she ran a hand through her hair slowly.

				Adam had been busy looking for his exchange student and nearly jumped when he was tapped on the shoulder, "Oh," he said in surprise, "there you are." Adam looked at the girl and gave subtle twitch at the word mister. "That's what they call my dad, but you can call me Adam." He said smirking at his own joke. <br><br>God, she was kind of pretty. He had left her details back at the room and forgot she was a she. "Um... ah, the dormitories." he said, "Well that depends on where you're staying." <br><br>The university had four dorms. One all-male, that was Tibbit Hall. One all-female, Reyes Hall. One co-ed, Granger Hall, and the last was one of those cohabitation ones. which were more like rooms that shared a single common area as opposed to self contained little domiciles with two communal showers on each end. <br><br>"So where are you staying?" For all he knew she actually had an on, or off-campus apartment. "Let me get your bags." he offered. Adam looked at her, "So you're from Israel?" he asked trying to make polite conversation.

				"Alright, Adam. Um...I think it was Manger... No, that's not it... Granger! It's the one with both men and women."<br>She smiled at him, flipping her hair back slightly as she nodded at him asking for her bags. She handed him the rolling suitcase, but kept the backpack she had been holding. She quickly put it on her back, nodding at his question as she smiled.<br>"Yes. I'm Israeli. It's very different then here. Much cooler here then back home, plus, I don't see much sand so I'm guessing you do not have storms like we do."<br><br>She seemed quite intrigued by the geography, and even though to Adam it seemed ungodly hot, she was slightly chilled, which is why she took the backpack off and grabbed a light sweatshirt out of it before slipping it on. As she did, her shirt lifted up a bit, exposing her slightly paler stomach before she fixed it and zipped up the jacket. Her eyes wandered around, to the hundreds of other people wandering around confused and unsure. SHe was just happy she had found her guide. As her eyes made it back to him, she couldn't help but smile a bit. He was cute, much cuter then the boys back home. Maybe it was because his physical appearance was much different, what with his light hair and eyes and pale skin. The girl blushed slightly, a very light pink color appearing on her cheeks as she sighed.<br>"They told me my room would be on the top floor. Room....804, I think. I could be mistaken, though. Are you...nearby in case I need anything?"

				He looked at her suitcase and gave it a raised eyebrow. "Are you getting the rest of your stuff delivered?" he asked. Adam himself had crammed the back of his car with the stuff he would need. At least they were going the same way. "Oh, we get storms." he said with wry humor. It got bitterly cold in the winter. "Hope you brought a heavy jacket. Though her idea of a heavy jacket was a hoodie. <br><br>"The penthouse, eh?" he remarked when she said she had the top floor. "I'm one floor below, so I'll be nearby. Though your floor assistant is also there to help." They struck off up and down the hilly campus. She was, cute. He saw the glimpse of olive stomach. <br><br>"Parking garage is over there." he pointed, "That's the gym." he said showing her. He was supposed to show her around. "Luckily each dorm here had there own cafeteria, so you don't have to walk all around." It wasn't dinner time yet but it wouldn't be long. <br><br>"What's your major?" he said trying to distract himself from the twenty or thirty steps to the plaza that held Granger Hall. "Did&nbsp; you pay for a single or double room?" he himself had a double. Adam asked since dorms were the primary destination.

				"This is just carryon, the rest of my things should arrive by tonight, I hope."<br>As he talked about storms, she frowned, not realizing she'd freeze this winter. Her heaviest coat was the one she was wearing, since normally it was far too hot to even wear that. As they walked, she smiled, listening intently to him and about everything they had to offer. It was far better then her school back at home, which could barely compare to this.<br><br>"Biology. And a single room. My parents thought it would be better that way, no disruptions from my academics. Although, they are worried about boys."<br>SHe giggled, thinking about her father and his interpretation of American boys. He was a cold man, and Eliana was his pride and joy. Thats the only reason she had been allowed to go. Both her and her brother were accepted into the program, but Mr. Yosef had decided he'd send her, for fear that her brother would slack off and never accomplish what he set out to do.<br>"My father thinks all American boys only want to have....relations with a women, never to marry her or any of that. But I don't buy it. I think that my father just is afraid of me getting into trouble. He just worries. I just hope that after this semester I get accepted accepted so I can live here. I want to be a trauma doctor, but not back home."<br>With a smile, she glanced over at him, her brown hair flowing out behind her as a breeze blew by.<br>"What about you? What are you here for?"

				They entered the lobby when she'd finished up her summary of her father and her reason for travel. 'I'm an English major, with a minor in anthropology." he said hitting the up button of one of the two elevators. The doors slid open with groans of worn protest and fifteen students flooded out of the elevator. When it was clear they entered. <br><br>"It's not a very exciting field." he said as they rode up. No one else was going up, so they were probably on the other elevator. "Well I'm staying in room 719." The seventh floor dinged past, "I'm here on a scholarship actually, I got first prize in an essay contest." It was something he was proud of. <br><br>She was really cute, and with a wry smile he remembered that anthropological concept. The one where people were more attractive because they were exotic, but he didn't think this was the case. Though, he was having a hard time discerning all her figure. Oh well, can't focus too much on that. <br><br>The doors slid open and he walked her to her room. "I hope you know you have to supply your own bed clothes, right?" he said. Adam put her bag in the corner. "So... here you are, oh and I'm supposed to give you my number." he said pulling out a scrap of paper with two phone numbers on it. "The first is my room number, and the second is my cellphone." <br><br>He gave a genuine if somewhat conservative smile, "Call me if you need anything." he told her. He supposed he should offer to help her unpack but he didn't want to be poking around in the clothes of a girl she just met. <br>"If you think you're going to need anything I can drive you to a store?" he offered instead. <br><br>The rooms were spartan. His room had two twin beds, two desk, wardrobes, and dressers. It was all painted cinder block walls and tile floors.&nbsp; Hers was everything minus one so she had more room. He had a rug for the floor and a small table for the middle part of his room. There was a cork-board over her desk were a window was over his. <br><br>The singles were on the inside wall. "Oh, laundry's on the mezzanine. The M button in the elevator." that was important<br><br>The he realized what yutz he'd been, "I didn't even ask your name, you just knew mine and all..." he said nervously.

				When he put her things in the corner of the room, she smiled, listening to him speak and smiling. Although, when he didn't offer to stay and help her unpack, she felt her heart sink, until he said he'd take her to the store if she needed it. Basically, she just wanted to see him again, and even though she knew she would, she was nervous. But it appeared that he was just as nervous, seeing as he had completely forgotten to ask her name. She giggled, taking his number and looking it over before smiling at him.<br>"It's Elianna. Elianna Yosef. You can call me Eli, though."<br><br>He wouldn't know it, but very few people were allowed to call her that. Her family, of course, and about two other people. Her best friend, and her neighbor who had known her since she was born. She walked over to her cork board, sticking his numbers onto it before grabbing a pen and writing his name on the top of it. She then wrote her own number down, dotting the I in her name with a heart before walking over to him and slipping it into his hand. Elianna quickly pulled her sweatshirt off, tossing it onto the bed lightly before unbuttoning the button down shirt and slipping it off as well. Underneath was a tight, white tank top that stopped high enough to show about two or three inches of her toned, flat stomach. She then pulled her jeans up, rolling the waist band of them which made the pants cling to her legs tightly at that point. It was then that he could see the girls curves, and she smiled at him before blushing.<br>"Toda raba, Adam. Do you think that later, maybe you'd escort me to the...um...cafeteria for dinner?"<br>She asked nervously, glancing around the room as there was a knock on the door. She walked over to it and opened it up, smiling as she saw several other suitcases waiting by her door with her name on them, in Hebrew. She dragged them inside happily, looking up at Adam before speaking.<br><br>"Well, I guess I should get started, huh? I have a lot of stuff. Oh, wait, I completely forgot. Now let me just find it."<br>The girl went through her small carry on, searching through it carefully before she found a small box. Inside were a few sheckles, not worth much over here, and a small necklace pendant with an Eliat stone in the center. She handed him the box, smiling before tucking her hair behind her ears.<br>"My parents thought that you might like it, since you are in anthropology and are probably interested in other cultures."

				Adam took her information and placed it in his pants pocket. Was she into him? That was kind of fast. Adam wasn't a man accustomed to getting anywhere with women that quickly. Not that he never got anywhere but she seemed genuinely taken with him, and he... liked her he supposed. "It would be my pleasure to take you." he said when she asked for an escort. He gave a look at the considerable baggage she'd had show up and thought if she was so friendly he'd be able to ask. <br><br>"I could help you unpack." Adam asked when she produced her thank-you gift. "Oh, neat." he said looking at it. "Thank you and tell your parents the same for me." he told her. Adam had caught the glimpses of her toned stomach and curves. In the backroom part of his brain he wondered what kind of underwear they wore over in Israel, but he managed to keep his mind on the here and now. <br><br>He shuffled around a bit. The cafeteria wouldn't open for another half hour or so. At least the town had some things to do, and heck she might be willing to go out with him if he was lucky. That would be nice, he'd not been dating for a year. "So what do you parents do? If you don't mind my asking?" He said in curiosity.

				"Yeah? I'd like that. You don't have to though if you don't want to. I could just use some company."<br>The lithe girl picked up a large duffel bag, putting it onto the bed before unzipping it and starting to take out all the clothes that were in it and putting them either in her dresser or in the closet they were given. She moved very deliberately, giving every article of clothing a bit of thought as to where it would go. Finally, she was done with that bag, and she sat down on the bed before smiling.<br><br>"Of course I don't mind. My mom stays at home. I have twin sisters who were born five months ago, so even if she suddenly wanted to get a job, it's not at all possible. My father is a teacher at a local college. It isn't a great school, but my father says it's what he loves, so we don't question it."<br>She nodded slightly, as if agreeing with everything she said before she laid back on the bed. She was pretty tired. It had been a very long flight, and the boy she had sat next to on the plane had snored the whole time, she she didn't get a wink of sleep. She yawned cutely, laughing before sitting up and grabbing another suitcase, this one filled with things from home. She pulled out a giant stuffed octopus from her bag, setting it on the bed before pulling out her sheets and stating to make it. Once that task was over, she pulled out two framed pictures. One was of her whole family, which consisted of her parents, her brother, her twin sisters, and her, and then another picture of her and her brother, bothering each other like always. He was leaning over and tickling her, and she was desperately trying to get away from him. She set them on the desk, smiling before running a hand back through her hair and turning to face him.<br><br>"So, Adam, what do you do for fun over here, anyways? I mean, like, what do you find enjoyable?"<br>She struggled to find the last words she said to him, not sure if she was using the right english words. Although she could speak English pretty much fluently, she still had trouble sometimes. She then moved over to the closet, opening it and grabbing a tight, long sleeved red shirt before pulling it on quickly and flipping her hair to the side. <br>"And when does the dining commons open? I'm starting to get hungry again."<br>She giggled, putting a hand on her stomach lightly before poking herself and looking up at him trustingly.

				He laughed lightly, "Oh there's some things to do around here. There are a few bars and clubs, a movie theater, bowling alley." Adam spread his hands slightly, "It's a college town, they want the money of the students who come here." he smiled at his own half-true joke. "I usually stay in and read or go out and run or swim." He played a lot of video games too but he didn't want to put her off&nbsp; He looked at her unpacking and helped her with things of a non-clothing nature. He didn't want to come off as a creep. Sighing when it was all said and done he looked over at her, then to his watch.<br><br>"In about ten minutes, it opens at 4:30p.m., for dinner, and closes at 6:30p.m. A lot of students miss out because they think it stays open late. Oh and&nbsp; you have to pay about seven bucks or have a meal plan like I do." he informed her. He was so glad she was damned cute. He was sure he was going to get stuck with either a guy, or someone really annoying. She was downright fun and they hadn't been doing anything. <br><br>They had a lot of food, they pandered to every kind of diet, so all she had to do was say kosher only and they would direct her to the appropriate line. He had to remind himself not to eat pork with her around, or shellfish, which was a shame because he loved shrimp. He could manage and it wasn't a big item on the school menu. <br>"Do you want to head over there now, Eli?" he asked using the nickname.

				"I think we should head there soon, just let me get changed, okay? Just wait here for me."<br>SHe smiled at him, grabbing a few articles of clothing before heading out of the dorm and managed to find the bathroom rather quickly. She quickly got changed out of her tank top, putting on a tight, albeit slightly low cut top before pulling on a pair of jeans that were tight enough to cling to her legs. Once she had changed, she left the changing room and looked into the mirror, fixing her hair slightly before taking a deep breath. She was nervous, and it was getting ridiculous. She didn't even know the boy, yet she wanted him to like her.<br><br>"I'm so dumb sometimes....Get ahold of yourself, Eli. Just be cold....no...cool. Is it cool?"<br>She asked herself, biting her lower lip lightly before shaking her head and hurrying back to her room. Once she was there, she quickly entered and grabbed her ID card that had been sent to her in the mail. It only had her name on it, along with a barcode, seeing as it was only until she got her real ID for the school.<br><br>"I'm pretty sure I have a meal plan. I think, anyways. I'll bring money anyways, though. I don't want to be stuck trying to find my way back here."<br>She smiled slightly again, grabbing a small woven purse before slinging it over her shoulder with a sigh. Once she had done that, she made sure she had everything before starting to head from the room. It wasn't until she got to the door, however, that she turned around and looked at him.<br>"I just remembered I have no idea where I'm going. You should probably lead the way."<br>Elianna thought back in their conversation, thinking about all the places she could go. Well, she'd need to make friends first, but then, she could go out maybe. But in truth, she kind of wished he had mentioned video games, since her brother played them and sometimes, she did too.<br>"My brother, Adi, he has one of those...x-box's I think. He had some pretty fun games, except he never let me play. So sometimes, late at night when I couldn't sleep, I'd sneak into his bedroom and play it quietly. He never knew at all."

				"I've got one too." he said casually as the headed out the door. He visibly winced at the back of her head at letting it slip so stupidly. "A-anyway the uh... cafeteria isn't hard to find it's that little jutting part of this building you saw when we were walking up the stairs to the plaza." he reminded her and hopefully changed the subject. It didn't help he found his eyes inexorably drawn to her butt. Those jeans were definitely tighter than the one's she had been wearing... and that was a pretty low-cut top. He smirked as the entered the elevator. Was she really into him? It was kind of flattering. He didn't think it would be hard for her to find friends. The school had all kinds of foreign students. Japanese, Chinese, Israeli, Nepalese, African, Italian, you name it. <br><br>It prided itself on that in fact it's foreign affairs building was huge. It was more like an embassy. "So what is your class schedule like?" Adam said, trying to keep it on a fairly neutral topic. "I have history of the languages at nine in the morning and don't get out of classes 'til one. He added, "On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays." He added. The entered the cool dimly lit cafeteria and had their cards run at the front desk. It was all you could eat, but you couldn't come back in once you left. Adam understood from a financial perspective why but didn't see the point in earnest. <br><br>"Let's eat." he said picking up a tray. They even endorsed a few major fast-food chains but he tried to stay away, not for dietary concerns but because the school food had a little more variety. He wanted to talk with her more, find out what she thought about America, and it's young men. Adam also put don't make an idiot out of yourself on the list.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

				She wasn't going to let him change the subject for long. Her eyes widened as he mentioned the game system, a smile coming to her face as they walked.<br>"You have one? Like, in your room? Downstairs? You should teach me how to play your games! I've never been any good, only because trying to play in a dark room without any sound or guidance is tricky. Adam, please?"<br>She was adorable. The way she got all excited was pretty cute, and it had seemed to put a smile on her face. When he asked about her class schedule, she frowned, trying to remember all of her classes. She figured out three of them, counting them on her fingers as she figured them out.<br>"I have an English Composition class, and then an United States History class, and then a Culture class that's supposed to teach me about American culture and essentially help me to fit in, I guess. I don't know the other two though. I think maybe a math class, and then the last one is something. I don't know it yet."<br>After they had gotten all signed into the dining hall, she smiled slightly, grabbing a tray as well before turning to him and speaking.<br>"I'm going to go over to the Israeli section. If you want, you can follow me, but I doubt you'll like any of my food. But, um, I'll be right back."<br><br>She took a few steps backwards, laughing slightly before she turned around just in time to hide her blush. She wanted to smack herself for acting so weird around him. He'd probably think she was a creep, and she definitely didn't want that. When she went over to the Israeli section(it was Middle Eastern food in general) she saw someone she sort of knew from back home. They weren't really friendly, per say, but they did come from the same school. He looked at her and smiled before speaking.<br>"Elianna, you're here now?"<br>"I'm starving. I didn't eat on the plane."<br>"Why?"<br>"I was nervous. I was worried my guide wouldn't be there, or would be mean."<br>"Is she?"<br>"I actually have a guy."<br>"Lucky you. I'm stuck with some kid. We kind of went our separate ways, though. You ditched yours too?"<br>"No, Adam is right over there."<br>She turned and pointed to him, Miykah laughing before loading up his plate.<br>"He came with you?"<br>"Well...I uh...I asked him to...."<br>"You like him!"<br>"No, I don't, I-"<br>"If Adi ever finds out, he'll never let you live it down."<br>"I don't know why. He's cute. And he's really nice. And it doesn't matter. After this week, he'll go back to doing his own thing and I'll be off doing mine."<br>"You're a cute girl. You could get him to like you."<br>"As if."<br>Of course, there whole conversation was in Hebrew, so no one around them could understand unless they spoke Hebrew as well. She then filled up her plate with pita bread, baba ganoush, tahini, and falafel and said goodbye to Miykah before scurrying back over to Adam quickly. She smiled at him, taking a bite of pita bread before looking around nervously. She didn't like that there were so many people around, and that they were all speaking in different languages. She moved closer to Adam, not really aware what she was doing as she muttered in English.<br>"Relax Eli, it's fine. You're okay."

				He had made some confirmations that he actually did own an Xbox, and listened to her recite her classes. He could even help her with them and it wouldn't be too difficult. He let her run off. He wasn't feeling very adventurous in the food department so he stuck with some kind of lemon-pepper chicken, biscuits, and a salad. He was getting a glass of water from one of the many drink dispensers. He'd seen a few of his friends in the line but they hadn't wanted to talk much. They were just trying to enjoy the precious few free days before classes began. <br><br>"Where would you like to sit?" He saw quite a few open places. It was still early. There were places by the window, in a dimly lit corner. It didn't really matter to him it wasn't like they were on making out terms anyway. He would probably wake up in the morning and have to run or swim off some stupidly awkward thing he'd done anyways. He looked around, people were starting to trickle in. "So... do you work out?" he asked and inwardly grimaced. Now she would think he thought she was fat. Smooth Adam real smooth. <br><br>He was busy contemplating some saving move so he didn't sound like a total pig.

				"Lets go sit over there. It's quieter, and it'll give us a chance to talk."<br>She smiled, leading him to a table in the corner of the room before setting her tray down. She then wandered off, going over to the drink machine and pouring herself a glass of milk before walking back over. She also grabbed several napkins on the way, sitting down across from him before crossing her legs. She took a few bites of food, tucking her hair behind her ears before glancing around at the herd of people coming into the cafeteria. Where she lived, there weren't too many people around, and even in school they certainly didn't have this amount. It was actually making her pretty nervous.<br><br>When he asked her if she worked out, she nodded, taking another bite of food before laughing. She thought it was cute the way he seemed to get nervous, and as she ran a hand back through her hair, she looked at him and spoke.<br>"I run. That and yoga. I started when I was thirteen and continue to improve at it. I used to complain about it a lot too, before I stretched out enough to become flexible. At first though, I though I would die."<br>She laughed again, shaking her head before crossing her legs. Her foot brushed against his leg lightly, the girl blushing before going back to eating. She felt so dumb. She knew she shouldn't, since they barely knew each other and it wasn't like they'd know each other forever, but still. As they ate, she glanced out the window before speaking.<br>"I'm actually going to the pool after dinner, I think. I haven't swam in months, and I really want to go again."

				Adam laughed with her about the yoga. It was fairly funny. He ate some of his own food and sipped his drink as casually as possible. "Swimming, huh?" he said lightly. "Well luckily for you they just opened the gym up." It was something the school was notorious for putting off until a week into the semester. Though word of mouth was they didn't have too many renovations&nbsp; this year. They were constantly upgrading it for the various sports teams around campus. Not that the school was slouching in academics; still it usually fell behind schedule. Adam looked at the way she ran her hands through her... pretty hair. He mentally shook himself. They weren't even in first-date territory yet. "So, um... where in Israel are you from?" he asked after a little while. <br><br>The thought of seeing her in a bathing suit was, appealing she would have to bring her own, of course, and school policy on appropriate was, lax. If it covered the important parts without being strings they'd allow it. This was&nbsp; college after all. Adam worked out too, but he didn't really hit weight machines all that often. He wondered if she did... he found the thought... apealing as well. Something exotic...<br><br>Breaking his perverse line of thought he looked at her hoping he'd not been to overt in his... infatuations. He ate while he waited for her to answer. All those rapid thoughts in such a short time. It was worth it, thought, Adam decided.

				"I'm from Hatikva, in Mehoz Tel Aviv. It's not much, nothing like here, but it's home."<br>She smiled at him, noticing the way he looked at her and blushing slightly before she laughed and looked down at her plate. She took a few more bites of food, not being able to help thinking about him. Did he like her? Could he possibly...No, he couldn't, right? He probably had some girl waiting to make him happy who was ten times prettier then her. But...maybe if she flirted with him a little bit...just maybe...<br><br>"Your eyes are really pretty, you know. "<br>She looked up at him, giving him her prettiest smile before she finished her drink. She then sat up straighter, pulling her shirt down a bit as she then finished up the food on her plate. She then slowly moved over to the edge of the booth, standing up before speaking to him again.<br>"You wait here. I'll be back in a moment."<br>She smiled at him and headed over to the trash, throwing away the little bit of food that was left before putting the tray on the conveyor belt. She did however manage to knock something down, the girl crouching down to pick it up. Although when she did, a flash of pink from her panties could be seen since her pants were a bit low. She wasn't aware of it though, so she&nbsp; didn't bother pulling her jeans up at all. She walked back over to the table, sitting down across from him once again before speaking again.<br>"I have two questions. The first one, is what building is the gym in? The second one is, do you want to come swimming with me? I doubt any people are there, so we could talk more. I like talking to you."<br>

				"Isn't Tel Aviv the capital?" While he was interested in anthropology the geographical aspects more often than not, eluded him. He finished off what remained of his food and drink and put it aside he wanted to talk more. When she complimented him on his eyes he was shocked but didn't show it. Mostly women only complimented him after he'd gone through the trouble of building the relationship. Sure the did it from time to time, but Eli's comment seemed sincere. Not just some passing remark. <br><br>"Thank you," he said trying hard not to blush, and he managed to keep the majority or red from his cheeks if not all. " Adam desperately grabbed for a return compliment and managed to get it off before she left. "You have... a very pretty face." Which was true but he could have phrased it better. She had a cute nose, exotic eyes, rich hair, gorgeous lips...<br><br>He was focused on her face until the little bit of pink reared it's head. Suddenly his mind was filled with pink, tight panties, thongs, skimpy kimons, and oddly enough a version of her in a skimpy, sexy military uniform. Luckily he got it under control by the time she was back. He wasn't a perv. Adam just had a very vivid imagination. "Um... sure, it's... I'll show you but its one building. It's a big gym, slash wellness center kind of thing." For a second the other question was lost on him but he recovered with some grace, "I would... like that.." Adam said getting up quickly to throw his own food away."<br><br>"Just meet me at the front of the dorms. They have locker rooms there, in the gym." He bid her farewell and rushed to his room. It was like a dream come true.

				When he said yes and rushed of, she giggled, moving quickly back to her own dorm before heading inside. She was smitten, and her heart was pounding. Once in her dorm, she quickly went through her clothing, finally finding&nbsp; her bikini before taking a few deep breaths. She decided it was best to change now and then put her clothes back on over it. Elianna slipped on the small, baby blue bottoms before retying the sides and making them slightly tighter before putting the top on and once again making it tight. She really did look incredible. She had&nbsp; a very flat, toned stomach, but still had great curves, and long legs that seemed to go on forever. Once she was in the bikini, she pulled on a pair of shorts and a tight tank top before slipping her sandals on and rushing downstairs.<br><br>However, she stopped before she got outside, looking at her reflection in the window. She wanted to make sure she looked perfect for him. She fixed her hair slightly, running her fingers through it and playing with it until the chestnut waves fell down neatly to brush against her shoulders. She then took a deep breath, heading outside and waiting patiently. The blue bikini top could be seen under her white tank top, and it had a few guys turning their heads,&nbsp; but she didn't even notice. All she could think of was Adam and how cute he was. His smile made her crazy, and those eyes....She was having a really hard time keeping a smile off her face, at any rate. As she stood there, she let her mind wander, already very happy her parents had let her come here.<br><br>A breeze blew at the moment, making her hair flow out behind her as her hazel eyes shut a bit. It made her shiver slightly, and she couldn't wait to get into the warm pool house and swim off dinner. Although, she was a bit nervous. She wanted him to think she was pretty, and being in so little could potentially allow him to find flaws, but she pushed the thought from her mind. They were only going swimming together, so it wasn't like he was in love with her, right?

				Adam had his key in the lock and was through the door in no time. As it turned out, his roommate had arrived. A kind of tall, slim, Japanese dude with short hair and a girlfriend. They were standing and talking, unpacking. "Oh you must be Adam." He said seeing the green-eyed young man enter the room. <br>"Yes, and you're Kazuhiro?" Adam said slowing down in reply. The guy had an accent but it was no worse in caliber than Eli's and she had immaculate English. <br>"This is my girlfriend Miki?" <br>They exchanged pleasantries and Adam apologized profusely that he had to run. He was already a tad on the late side when he entered the elevator with tote bag in tow. He didn't want her to think he was standing her up. <br><br>He all but flew out to the plaza and quickly spotted her. "Sorry Eli, my roommate showed up and, well..." he began walking towards the gym. He would change when they got there. He had a navy blue pair of tailored briefs they were somewhere between total man thong and parashute trunks. The fit nicely but didn't come off. <br><br>Adam felt mildly ashamed of himself for looking at the blue behind the white. She was pretty though. She had to have a stud-muffin boyfriend who could beat the crap out of him with one hand. This was just some kind of "Oh your just my non-evasive perma-friend." He didn't want it to be like that because man she had the cutest... face... yeah face... and butt. Cursing his own mind he decided to keep with the questions.<br><br>"So, um...do you have a car? Oh, lame. Most foreign students didn't and there was a shuttle bus service the university ran to take them just about anywhere in the town. Still he could save, "Back home, I mean..." Close one.

				SHe walked with him, assuring him that it was fine that he had taken a little bit. In all honesty, it had given her enough time to prep herself until she felt pretty enough. When he asked about a car, she shook her head no, sighing as she moved a bit closer to the boy.<br>"Not at all. I can't even drive yet. Adi got a car though, so he drives me places."<br>Once they got to the gym, she hurried inside the pool room, wanting to make sure he didn't go into the locker rooms just yet. Just as she suspected, it was empty. She then swiftly pulled off her top, her back arching before she glanced back at him and smiled. She then pushed down her shorts, bending over at the waist and pushing them down her legs before grabbing them and heading back over to him. She blushed slightly as she held out her clothes for him to put with his before she bit her lip.<br>"Hurry out, okay?"<br><br>She then slipped her sandals off, and as she walked away, her already low cut bottoms shifting to show even more of her. It was official; She was a hot little number. When she got to the edge of the pool, she flipped her hair back, looking him over before jumping it. It was pretty obvious she was checking him out, although it was subconscious in her mind. Once in the water, she swam to the other side, and when she came up for air, she looked even sexier.

				Adam looked. Oh, did he ever look; and he liked what he saw. Olive skin, curves, and he was hardly an expert on the subject but he thought she had to have fairly big breasts too. Maybe it was just his mind in infatuation. It didn't even matter to him how big or small her boobs were. She was freaking hot. He blamed it on stupid hormones and quickly change in the room. He stepped out wearing the tailored trunks and saw her submerge seductively. He took a running jump and jack-knifed perfectly into the pool. He came up in a less sex fashion but his hair had darkened to nice rich color. <br><br>"I think your hair would look pretty in a French braid..." he said more bashfully than he would have liked. He tread water in the pool wondering what to do next. As if the idea of swimming in a large body of water seemed stupid. He remembered though that it was a pool and floated on his back around. Making sure he wasn't going to cramp or anything. <br><br>"So..." he mused having danced around this question, "Do you have anyone special back in Israel?" he asked kicking lightly doing a couple of lazy circles in the pool. The water ran over his toned core. He wasn't chiseled exactly but all those sexy lines were there. He didn't have any obvious tan lines either. He wiggled his toes experimentally waiting for reply.

				She stared for a bit, blushing wildly as her eyes ran down his body. When he said her hair would look pretty in a french braid, she smiled wildly and swam towards him slowly, shaking her head no before she sighed.<br>"Boys at home think I'm dorky, so I've never actually....had a boyfriend. But what about you? You must have some...cute girl who loves you, right?"<br>As she floated around, she got an idea. She swam to him, smiling at him before putting a hand on his chest. Then she stopped, however, getting very nervous as she looked into his eyes. She had been about to push him under water playfully, except....he was gorgeous.<br><br>"I....Um....Hi....."<br>She blushed, pulling her hand back immediately before she swam away a bit. She swam to the edge of the pool, pulling herself out of the water and sitting on the edge of the pool. She wanted to hide at the moment, since she had completely made a fool of herself. But she felt like maybe she could salvage things. She flipped her hair to the side, jumping back into the pool. She swam under him, coming up for air behind him before splashing his back and giggling as she swam away from him playfully. She then blushed slightly, giggling before moving back to him and slowly and carefully running a hand through his hair lightly.<br>"I like the color of your hair."

				"You! Dorky!" he said in shock, "If your what passes for dorky I don't think I could stand to see a beauty queen or something." He meant it as a compliment but he got nervous that she would take it the wrong way and told her he meant it as such. He swam more lazy circles and he raised an eyebrow at her question, "No... I don't actually. My last girlfriend was over a year ago, and... it was a pretty mutual thing..." He promptly lost his train of thought when she touched his chest. He'd hugged girls of course but it was still surprising and nice. She must have taken it as personal space invasion because she swam away. <br><br>He moved to swim to her and say everything was okay but she was already back in the water and now touching his hair, "Thanks..." he said blushing. Either Israeli girls weren't as conservative as he thought or she was just outgoing, or had some residual excitement about new countries. Probably all of the above. <br><br>"I like your..." He was having a hard time thinking of something that wasn't totally piggish. "Eyes." He said probably a bit too fast. He daringly put his hand on her waist as casually as possible "Are we flirting?" He asked after a while.

				The girl obviously wasn't conservative, but it could be understood. Guys had never really looked at her the way he did, and she liked the feeling it instilled in her. When he said he liked her eyes, she blushed, and as his hand touched her waist, she let out a soft breath and looked down at it. Then he asked his question, making her look away as she put her hand back on his chest.<br>"I...think so....Should we stop?"<br>She looked into his eyes, not being able to help moving even closer to him. She didn't know what to do. On the one hand, she didn't want to stop. She wanted to continue flirting, but there was another side. She was here for a year, and getting so close to him could end in disaster. Not to mention her father's view on boys in general, let alone American boys. But that fact seemed uninteresting to her at the moment. No, she loved this feeling, and she didn't want to stop it unless he did.<br><br>"Adam..."<br>She whispered, shutting her eyes as her free hand moved to the hand on her waist. She ran her fingertips over it slowly, flirting physically with him before sliding her fingers up his arm slowly. Her mouth opened as she went to speak, but words wouldn't come out. She was nervous. It wasn't every day that a guy as cute as him looked at her like more then just some friend.<br>"I don't....think...I want to stop...."<br>She added, her voice nearly silent as her heart started to beat even faster. The hand on his chest then moved to the crook of his neck, her nails very lightly caressing over his skin as she tried to think. But it was impossible. The only thing she could think about was her kissing him, but she didn't dare do it. What if he didn't want to? What if he hated her after that? Still, it was tempting, to say the least.

				This was a little too much for Adam, not in a bad way. Just an unfamiliar one, "What about your dad and his views on we unfaithful American boys..." he breathed after a long series of touches. He knew very well that this could end horribly tonight and he just didn't want it to do that. He touched her back but in and obviously more... call it chivalrous manner. "Eli," he began after a long pause. "It's not that I don't like you, I do, but this is the first date." He half laughed. He was all in for dating and becoming a couple and all that. "If the water gets any hotter in this pool we're going to boil.<br><br>Adam wasn't opposed to kissing on a first date but he'd rather not do it in a pool alone. The fantasy that could result would simply be irresponsible on his part. God, she was so gorgeous though and it made the less moral side of him groan. He wasn't going to call it quits tonight either. The evening was young, "Do you want to go do something else?" He added. He knew when classes started they'd cool a bit and take things at a more appreciative pace. He just had to hold back himself. <br><br>Adam leaned in a pecked her on the corner of the mouth, catching just a touch of soft lip. "I'm not going to give into you vile exotic seductresses that easily!" He said in mock bravado.

				She made it clear that she didn't care what her father said, that she'd do what she knew was right in her heart. As his hands ran over her, she blushed, trying to take deep breaths but not being very successful. She understood his point, though. They shouldn't do this. They had just met, but already she was quite fond of him. She looked up into his eyes, smiling slightly as her hands moved to his chest. When he asked if she wanted to do something else, she smiled, nodding slightly before speaking softly.<br>"Yeah. To be honest, I'm getting kind of cold. Although, I have to say...I like...being this close to you."<br>She giggled, right up until he kissed&nbsp; her cheek. She felt his lips brush against hers and gasped a bit, blinking several times before leaning her head on his chest lightly.<br><br>"You...kissed me...Adam...You kissed me!"<br>She looked up at him, her eyes wide and a very happy look on her face before she blushed deeply. SHe then leaned up and pecked his cheek, giggling at what he said before taking a few steps backwards with slight smirk.<br>"You can't resist me that easily."<br>She let her finger tips slip over his chest as she backed away. She then turned around, going to the side of the pool before pulling herself out. As she brought her knee up on the side, her rear stuck out a bit, and any guy would appreciate that view. She finally managed to pull herself out, standing up before heading over to the changing room as she spoke.<br>"What would you want to do tonight, anyways? I'll do whatever."<br>She grabbed her towel from the bench, wrapping it around herself tightly as she ran a hand through her hair slowly. She sighed happily, tucking the corner of a towel under the other part before she turned back and looked at him.<br>"We could play video games if you wanted."

				Oh Adam not only appreciated the look he appreciated the toned Israeli bottom with a olive tan, and ranked it the best ass he'd ever seen. A real work of art. She was just trying to embarrass him for wearing tight swimming trunks he knew it. Adam used the ladder because frankly the things women did that were sexy and the things men did were two different tiers. Plus a ladder made more of his muscles tense and thus look good. <br>He changed quickly and met her at the gym entrance to leave. His hair was lighter but still damp and he looked at her, really pretty neck, then her eyes. "Any game in particular?" He asked having thought over the suggestion.<br><br>They struck back over to the dorm, "Oh," he said halfway there, "My roommate might be in..." he let his voice trail off. He wanted to get back as soon as possible. A hot, exotic girl who loved to play video games. It was too good to be true, and probably was. Adam felt bad but he kept waiting for the meteor to to come out of the sky and kill him. <br><br>The lobby was chilly and Adam adopted a brisk stiff walk to the elevators. "So..." Now it was suddenly hard to talk. "You were kind of excited about that kiss thing..." He didn't know how to phrase it politely, "Have you never been kissed?" He asked. The elevator began an upward trek. At least it was the more suitable of the two questions that had been filtered out thankfully and that was: what's your cup size because those don't look really small? And: Do you wear thongs?" <br><br>He really hated that side of him but he supposed even she had one too... nah...

				She had happily watched as he got out of the water, having to look away for fear of embarrassing herself.<br>"I don't know. I've played Halo before. And Call of Duty. And something about a Bat...."<br>She walked with him carefully, her hair falling in her eyes as she thought about what to do. WHen he started to speak about his roommate, she was sure he'd end up telling her they'd have to hang out some other time. But when he didn't, well, she could have jumped up and down and screamed. But she managed to keep it cool. However, she knew she'd have to go back to her dorm so she could get dressed again, since she had forgotten to bring clothes downstairs with her. When he asked if she had never been kissed, she blushed, rubbing her arms lightly to warm up as she sighed.<br><br>"Never. I've never even had a boyfriend. Hell, I've never even had a guy interested in me, at least, not one who told me so, anyways. I mean...my mother and brother have always told me I was pretty but....I don't know. I don't see it. I just think I'm average."<br>She laughed nervously, pressing the eighth level button before messing with her towel.&nbsp; She knew she had to look cute when she got to his room, and once the elevator got to her floor, she smiled at him before letting out a soft breath.<br>"I'm going to go get dressed, because I feel sort of awkward sitting in your room in a bikini. But...um...I'll be at your room in a few minutes, just pick a game."<br>The doors opened, and she slowly backed out of the elevator before waving sweetly and running to her room. The girl had never moved so fast in her life. She quickly got dressed in the tight shorts she had worn down to the pool, although, she added a pair of black stilettos to make her even hotter. She then slipped on a tight, long sleeved black short, but one that was short enough to show her stomach. It also was short enough that he could see the red thong that was underneath, tantalizing any guy who cared to see it. She brushed her hair and then practically ran to his dorm, almost tripping because of the heels. When she got there though, she knocked softly, very very excited about the fact she could actually hang out with him.

				He had left her a floor early as was planned. He dashed into his room and saw that his roommate wasn't there. Thank God! Not that he hated the guy or anything but there were certain changing protocols. Mostly you had to work fast. He slipped on cleaner white T-shirt and kept the jeans. He dried and half-combed his hair. It wasn't that hard. He didn't want to appear over dressed. He straightened his room unnecessarily and quickly hooked up his TV and Xbox. The TV wasn't fancy, but it was fairly big. It sat on the top of his wall-mounted dresser. He looked in his dorm fridge and it was... empty. <br><br>There came a knock at the door and he almost tripped trying to answer it. Why was he acting so stupid. It was because there was a smoking hot, wonderful, intelligent, foreign girl who dug him on the other side. <br>He opened it and it was just Kazuhiro, "Forgot my key." He supplied, smiled and left. <br>The second knock was Eli. He looked at her and said, "I don't want to be rude but your brother and mother were wrong, you're not pretty... you're stunning." He liked the flirting and he tried not to leave a second open for her to worry. "I um... picked... um Halo 3." He said and showed her in.<br><br>He started up the console and pulled out his desk chair for her to sit in while he lounged on the bed, "You'd kind of have to sit on the floor... or uh... in my lap otherwise." Adam joked. It was true double dorm rooms were no conducive to many group games.

When he said she could sit in the chair, she laughed, taking a controller and petting his cheek lightly as she blushed.<br>"I would have sat in your lap. The floor would have been too uncomfortable."<br>She gave him a smile, one that would let him know that there was another reason she would have chosen to sit in his lap. She brought a hand to her mouth, nipping at the end of her sleeve as she turned the controller on and sat down. She crossed her long legs, setting the controller down in her lap. As the opening scene came onto the tv, she smiled, looking over at him before moving her chair closer to the bed.<br><br>"Okay, really quick, teach me how to do this again. I haven't played in awhile, and I die a lot. "<br>She leaned closer to him, messing with the controller as she really quickly tried to remember what to do. She was figuring it out slightly, but she was still unsure. Plus, she wanted him to teach her, just because she knew she could get closer to him that way. She scooted to the edge of her chair, looking up at him and smiling before she took her lower lip in her teeth. Her nerves were starting to get to her, but she wasn't going to let them ruin any chance she had with him. No, tonight was going to go well, and she knew it. As she sat there, she looked up into his eyes, her hand moved to his hair, her hand running through it lightly as she smiled.<br>"Your hair is soft....and I like touching it..."

				Adam rolled over to her and quickly went over all the buttons. It wasn't hard, but he understood. He played a lot so the learning phase went by in a flash. In fact, the only time he forgot was when he was playing two games around the same time. Then he got fairly confused. It took her no time to get it down and he was soon making Master Chief do all the Spartan things he did. He felt bad for shooting her at first but she was a cute little fiend and Adam was sure she was using her body unfairly. He swore he saw a slip of read thong before he took a sniper round in the head. <br><br>They finished the first short match and changed maps. He had one it but barely. Damn but she was distracting. It was her turn to pick the rules and stuff and he explained it as she went along. He liked her he liked her more than he had ever liked his last girlfriend. It was so hard for him to hold back. He just wanted to... do... naughty things; and there was the head shot again!<br><br>Adam fired a rocket at her and missed. Was it warm in here. He wondered how long they would go at it before becoming and actual dating couple. He wanted in the next five minutes. God he wondered what she thought sometimes, more like all the time-- and of course her rocket doesn't miss.

				She won that match, but that only gave them each one, and she laughed before starting the next match. As she did, she glanced over at him, smirking before tucking her hair behind her ear.<br>"I'll make you a deal. If you win next time, I'll do whatever you want. But if I win, you have to do what I want. Deal?"<br>They started the match, and she took the lead at first. She was sure she'd win, and then she knew exactly what she'd have him do. A real kiss, none of that little peck on the cheek stuff. Of course, she might have been a bit...overzealous. As the match went on, she started losing, and once the match was over, she realized her plan had been in vain. She turned to him, putting the controller down before blushing slightly and sighing.<br><br>"Well, I guess it's your choice. So....what do you want?"<br>She asked, slightly seductively as she crossed her legs and leaned over to him. She knew what she wanted, and she only hoped he wanted the same thing. After a moment though, she stood up, and the way her legs looked in those heels....well, it was just...wow. She made him move over a bit, sitting next to him on the bed so that they were touching before she folded her hands in her lap. Her hands were shaking...God damnit. This happened to her every time. Any time a guy that she had liked back in Israel showed a tiny bit of possible interest, she got all nervous and high strung and then blew it.<br>"S-so....Um....Oh god, I'm a proton....No....not proton....what do I mean?"<br>She asked him, not able to remember what the word she meant was. She knew it was negative, and that it sort of rhymed with proton, but she couldn't think of it.

				"Sure why not." He said before clicking start. He knew he shouldn't do anything to racy lest he put her off. The match was fierce but in the end vehicular homicide one the match for him. Adam stared dumbly at her sudden forwardness and he found himself moving over to make room. Great now he had to think up something that wouldn't make him look like a total perv. He had been hoping to lose that one. "A proton?" He smirked raising an eyebrow. "I hope you don't mean moron," he said pushing her shoulder playfully. <br><br>"Okay for my victory prize... I want..." he dragged it out in thought, "A nice kiss. You know kind of long, but with a foreseeable end in sight." Adam rolled over to let her come in. He hoped he didn't totally act like an idiot. "If it helps you can close your eyes." A million more sexy ideas had filtered through his brain and he'd settled on this. <br><br>He leaned in and gave her full lips the attention they deserved. He kept the tongue out of it and didn't really move his head. He found her lips softer and more tender than last time. It was a good kiss. Adam didn't know how it ranked but it was damned good. When it was over he said, "Liar. I thought you said you never kissed someone before. That was a professional one." He teased.

				When he said he wanted a kiss, she smiled, laying down next to him as she put her hand on his chest. She was nervous, as was obvious by the way her hand trembled against his skin, but one he leaned down and started the kiss, all nervousness was gone. She kissed him back with expertise, only mimicking his movements and the ones she had seen in movies as her hand slid up his chest to his cheek. When he pulled back though, her eyes remained shut, and she took a slow breath before opening her eyes and looking up at his with a slight smile. She let her fingertips trace his cheek, the girl smiling even wider as he teased her.<br>"I'm glad you liked it....And I'm glad you like me...."<br><br>WIth that said, she leaned in one more time, convincing herself that this would be it. But deep down, she knew she wouldn't want to stop after this kiss either. She kissed him tenderly for several seconds before finally pulling back. However, not without first nipping at his lower lip somewhat instinctually. When she pulled back this time, she leaned her head against the crook of his neck, taking a deep breath as her hand moved to his chest. She didn't know what this made them, if anything, but she didn't care. Sure, it'd be great if they were together, but at least he liked her. After a few seconds, she pulled back, rolling to lay on her back before she looked up at him and giggled.<br>"So...Now what?"

				"Good question," Adam said somewhat breathlessly, "Uh.. it is kind of late... for me." The clock only read about ten p.m but Adam was not a night person he could function but it was not pretty. "So, I guess... would you like to meet me in the morning for a run before breakfast?" He asked looking over at her. The truth was he wasn't trusting himself at such a late hour to not... try any advanced moves and he was going to be damned if he screwed this relationship up. <br><br>Adam helped her up and led her to the door. "I really had fun today, Eli." He said with his best smile he knew how to give. They could always go on a date tomorrow. He had to remember to take it slow. He leaned in to kiss her goodnight but was kind of prepared for rejection so he came into it a little more hesitant.<br><br>He left her to return to her floor above his and quickly changed to hit the hay. Slipping under the covers of the twin bed with the crappy springs he squirmed a bit before falling asleep with a huge smile plastered on his face. She was a sweet thing indeed.

				"Yeah, I'll come here when I'm ready, around sixish, and then we can go."<br>She got up slowly with his help, walking to the door with him before turning around to face him. As he smiled, so did she, and as he leaned in, she did as well to meet him halfway. The second the kiss was over, she wanted it back, but she smiled at him instead before taking a few steps backwards while looking into his eyes. As the door shut, she turned around, slowly and happily walking back to her dorm room. Once there, she got changed into a night dress before quickly climbing into bed. She had been nervous on the plane that she wouldn't be able to sleep, but the worry was put to rest in about three minutes. When she woke up the next morning, she glanced at the clock, smiling that she had time to take a shower. She got her things together and went to the bathroom, taking a quick shower before getting dressed in a pair of shorts and a spaghetti strap tank top that stopped about three inches above her navel.<br><br>Elianna put her hair up, then frowned before taking it back down and messing with it. She didn't like it up, but normally kept it that way when she ran. After several moments of deliberating, she put it back up, but did it somewhat messily so it had a rather cute appearance. She then brushed her teeth, straightened out her clothes, and put her sneakers on before running downstairs towards his dorm. When she got there though, her nerves got to her, but she knew she had to knock. So she did, albeit quietly, and waited for a response. While she did, she leaned against the wall opposite his door with a smile, just hoping her nervousness would go away once she saw him.

				Adam answered the door after a scuffling and some Japanese swearwords. He stepped out and closed the door quietly. Dorm doors were heavy and squeaky by requisite it seemed. "Let's god." He said looking at her appreciatively. He walked to the elevator and they rode it down while he asked about her first night. He had managed with the help of a very good mattress pad.<br><br>Adam began stretching his legs on the low wall that bordered the plaza. It was a shameless preening to show off his leg and back muscles against the running shorts and tight-fitting, gray T-shirt. "I'm going to take the long way." He said, "Think you can keep up?" He played.<br>Adam didn't put any earphones in. He knew how dangerous it was jogging around campus. People always zooming in their cars from A to B. <br><br>He looked at her again in her damnably sexy outfit. "You're lying to me." He teased. "There is no way you're dorky! Guys back home must fawn over you. I just can't believe you're the nerdy one." He said with his due doubt. If she was the dorky one he'd hate to see what passed for model.

				Elianna had watched as he stretched, not being as shy as the night before. When his muscles tensed up and showed through his shirt, she ran a finger up his back before pulling away and stretching herself. She bent over all the way at the waist, letting out a soft breath before she stood up and stretched her legs. She laughed when he said she was lying, a smile on her face as she shook her head.<br>"No, it's true. In Israel, or at least the part I'm from, women are very....lithe. I'm not. I mean...sure, I'm thin, but it's only because I work my butt off to look this way."<br>She started running, and it was clear that she was pretty fast;her long legs taking longer strides then other girls her height. The only problem was her stamina. Still, she managed to run more than half the way before she had to stop.<br><br>"I....can't....breathe....Give me a second..."<br>She bent over, her hands on her thighs as she took deep breaths, trying to calm herself down as she took a few steps towards him. When he was close enough, she leaned her head on his chest, laughing softly as one hand gripped his shirt lightly. Her fingertips just barely grazed against his toned stomach, which sent shivers down Eli's spine as she looked up at him.<br>"So, what's your roommate like? I heard yelling inside the dorm. I didn't wake him up, did I?"<br>She asked, obviously concerned. She didn't want to upset his room mate, otherwise he might not want her to hang out with Adam down there. It wouldn't really be a problem, but she still didn't like the thought of it.

				Adam didn't know how to day it but he liked her that way. She had exotic curves a man could hold on to. Something firm and soft. "So, wait?" He remarked, "You're the dork because you actually have nice... curves and all the pretty girls a flat?" He said in culture shock. He didn't get it personally. He continued running at an even pace. He was good at it&nbsp; but he did tend to sweat. Especially in summer. "We'll slow down don't kill yourself." He laughed helping her jog. "You need to work on your cardio." Adam remarked. <br><br>"Nah you didn't." Adam said, "He's watching a baseball game and his batter struck out." Adam said laughing lightly.<br><br>They jogged the rest of the course, and walked up the stairs to the plaza. "I'm going to go take a shower." He said dryly. He wanted to change too. This was there last day without classes and he wanted to cement if he could their relationship as couple. If that was even possible. He just didn't believe she was the nerd of the village. No. <br>

				"Yeah, I'm going to take another one too, I think. I'll meet you down here when I'm done."<br>She ran upstairs and got back into the shower, although it was a bit longer then the first. She also got changed into a t-shirt, a pair of tight skinny jeans, and knee-high high-heeled boots. As she made her way downstairs again, the boy she had run into last night, Miykah, was walking with another girl she knew from Israel. Like she had mentioned, the girl was very skinny, and it was clear that Elianna just wanted to go by without being noticed.<br>"Elianna?"<br>Fuck...She had seen her. Eli turned around, smiling slightly at the dark haired woman before she started to back up.<br>"Hi, Davida. I'm actually...meeting someone..."<br>"Wait, don't tell me, a boy?"<br>"Um...yes..."<br>"Oh wow. Little Eli....All grown up. I can't believe a guy actually likes you."<br>"Shut it. I have to go...."<br>It was only when she saw Adam that she started to slink away from the girl, secretly fuming that she had let her get to her. She couldn't believe it. She had promised herself that no matter who had made it here in the program, she wouldn't let them bother her. But she couldn't help it. She walked back over to Adam, and as she did, Davida and Miykah walked by. The girl muttered something in hebrew at Eli, which made her go pale in an instant before she hugged her waist. She looked up at Adam for a second, obviously not happy before taking a few steps towards towards the dining hall.<br><br>She started talking in Hebrew soon after, although, it was intentional. She always switched back to it when she was upset, but here, she had the advantage of him not knowing what she was saying. However, he could probably guess since she was a very animated speaker that something was wrong. Finally, it seemed, she remembered he was next to her, and blushed before smiling at him weakly.<br>"Uh....Hi....I'm going to be honest, I completely forgot where I was for a second. To busy....thinking. Yeah, thinking. I hate Davida...."<br>She muttered the last part, moving closer to him as she shut her eyes. The high heels made her hips sway slightly as they clacked on the ground, and since she was a few steps in front of him, he could see every bit of it.

				Adam looked at the exchange with curiosity befitting a bystander. He looked from Elianna to the other girl and her man and back. HE didn't say anything as the continued on. He was fresher now. Cleaner and brighter around the eyes. He wore khakis nice hiking boots and a button-down gray shirt over a white T-shirt. It was buttoned but he didn't tuck it in. The sleeves were rolled up as well, he didn't like things tight on his wrists. <br><br>"Hate is a very strong word." He said, getting in line to grab his chow. "Are you sure you just don't like her?" It was the English major in him. The idea that people misused words to the point that they lost their intensity and meaning irked him. Though, with Eli it wasn't so much that as she probably just used the first English word she knew. Adam would have looked at her walk if she'd not been so upset. <br><br>"Why does she upset you?" He asked sitting down with a glass of orange juice and a plate of french toast. He remembered to refrain from any pork products though he did like them. He looked at her pensively. He liked her but he didn't want to say the wrong things so he tested where she was coming from. <br><br>Personally her nemesis, while attractive, wasn't his type. She was pretty in the way runners are pretty. Elianna was pretty in the way girls are pretty. He just didn't see it. To each his own. He supposed as he waited to hear Eli out.&nbsp;

				"SHe just....gets to me....Like, I can't tune out what she says for some reason. Like, I don't know."<br>She shook the whole situation out for the moment though, slowly getting some Labaneh, Rugelach, and Shakshouka before getting a glass of juice as well. She sat across from him, smiling at him before tucking her hair, which was down at this point, behind her ear gently. Then without warning, she reached across the table and slipped her smaller hand into his before starting to eat. Her thumb ran across the back of his hand slowly, the girl looking over at him before crossing her legs under the table. Her foot brushed against his calf, Elianna finally pulling her hand back before speaking.<br><br>"Hey...um...do you wanna maybe...do something tonight...like....as a uh...as a date or something?"<br>SHe blushed wildly, biting her lip lightly as she flipped her hair back slightly. It was still slightly wet from her shower, so the curls were just starting to form, plus it was shiny so it really looked gorgeous. She pulled her shirt down slightly, the v-neck top showing off most of her upper chest as she took a few deep breaths. If he didn't want to do anything, she'd probably just start reading her text books. SHe was very studious, and it was no wonder her father had chosen her over her brother.&nbsp; She loved to learn, and she had been in all honors courses in her senior year of high school. After a moment, she started eating again, staying quiet as she shut her eyes and tried to force the blush from her face. She had felt bold enough to ask him, but once her question had escaped her full lips, she had wanted to grab it and shove it back in. But it was too late. She finally managed to get the blush from her face, opening her eyes and looking into his before speaking again.<br><br>"I mean...we don't have to...I just...I like hanging out with you...and....I feel really dumb right now..."<br>She laughed nervously, this time purposely letting her foot run over the back of his calf gently as she smiled at him, letting him now she meant to do it.

				"Oh..." Adam had known people like that. They just had a knack for button pressing. He turned to his food and he jumped a little when she took his hand. He enjoyed it and was a little worried that it had started to sweat or something when she let go. The pseudo footsie didn't hurt any either. He tried desperately not to focus on her cleavage but managed to slip up briefly. He quickly looked into her soft eyes.<br><br>"Sure, I think a second date would be nice." He hoped to put her at ease by letting her know he thought they were already kind of a couple. In dating terms if not boyfriend girlfriend. "What would you like to do." There was plenty. Diner and a movie, a club, parks, anything really. This was a college town. Heck they could even go shopping and he wouldn't care. <br>"You do sound kind of dumb," Adam teased, "But it's cute." he gave her a big smile and swore he could feel the inner-rage of the thinner girl seething out. <br><br>He took her hand back up. He didn't exactly know what he was going to do after that but her hands were soft and cute and he liked holding at least one of them. "So, what did you do for fun back home?" He asked trying to help her along with the date plans.

				She had just about finished her food when he took her hand again and smiled at her. She let go of his hand again, but only to move over to his side of the booth. Once next to him, she took his hand back, lacing her fingers with his as she flipped her hair back slightly.<br>"I don't know, we could....go to a club. Or we could just go see a movie."<br>She smiled at him, leaning over and kissing his cheek gently before squeezing is hand lightly and setting it on her leg. She then leaned her head on his shoulder, running her hand over his lightly before shutting her eyes. It was clear she was quite content next to him, and after a few minutes, she pulled back and bit her lip lightly.<br><br>"Just lets decide before tonight. I want to be able to get ready for... for our date. I'll be right back."<br>She slowly stood up, taking her plate and cup and bringing it over to the conveyor belt that took all the dirty dishes before setting it down and walking back over to him. She knelt down on the bench beside him, pulling her hair back slightly before smiling at him. As she sat down, she moved over so her leg was touching his as she spoke.<br>"Hey...um...you think you you could...kiss me again? It felt really nice last night."<br>She put her hand on his lower thigh, rubbing it lightly before she took a deep breath and slipped her hand back into his. After a few seconds, she shut her eyes, gathering her thoughts before looking into his eyes.<br>"Are we...kind of...a couple now?"<br>

				He got up with her to go throw his food away and sat back down. "Lets go see a movie, the world doesn't need to see me trying to dance..." He laughed softly. He smiled at the thought of kissing her again and the way she'd asked for it. It was the kind of silliness that was adorable. Then she said something that made him frown a little. He thought they were moving just a little too fast. "I like you, Elianna, I really do but... lets see after tonight's date alright?" He didn't want to hurt her feelings. "I just, have never moved this fast in a relationship before and I don't want to go speeding off just to hit a brick wall."<br><br>"But I'll try not to ruin your whole day." Adam added cheerfully. He leaned in and kissed her somewhere between a deep kiss and a peck. His lips lingered over hers for the longest of possible seconds. He didn't know if they would be a couple. He hoped so but a day and a half was not a lot to go on. <br><br>"What kind of movie do you want to watch?" He asked. He was a big horror movie junkie himself but any movie would do. He was now worried about overdressing or underdressing for the occasion. What was she going to wear. "We can spend the day together you know..." Adam added softly. He didn't want her to hate him for ruining her romantic fancies.

				"Adam, it's fine. I just have never done this sort of thing before, so I don't know what's normal. Don't be worried."<br>When he leaned in and kissed her, she smiled, kissing him back the same way as her hand moved to his cheeks. When the kiss was finally over, she smiled, leaning her head on his shoulder as she shut her eyes. She couldn't understand how a simple kiss could make her feel so....electrified. When he asked her about movies, she frowned slightly, but only in thought. She didn't know what she wanted to watch. She too enjoyed horror movies, but she didn't want to look dumb by jumping every time there was a loud noise. She shoved it out of her mind, however, looking up and smiling at him before speaking softly.<br><br>"Lets watch a scary one...Just...promise you'll hold my hand if I get too scared."<br>When he said they could spend the day together, she sat back up, stretching slightly before nodding.<br>"Yeah, I'd like that. What should we do?"<br>She asked sweetly, her brown hair falling into her face as she looked down at the table and traced pictures on it with her finger. Elianna was quite the artist, at least when she wanted to be. She could draw really well, but she didn't do it often. Only when she was very bored and all alone. After a few seconds, she turned back to face him, her eyes glancing over his features as she slipped her hand back into his softly. She just liked the feeling; It was calming and warm and made her feel at ease. Her other hand moved down to their hands too, but only to trace over his hand for a moment before just resting it in her lap.<br><br>"I'm really happy you're my guide, you know. I was afraid he'd be mean, like my dad said, but I'm really happy he was wrong."

				"Horror movies huh..." He'd have to see what was playing. He was sure one was. "I promise." He said with an impish smirk. There was one reason a guy ever invited a girl to a horror movie. It was the same principle behind the old wooden roller coasters. The hopes she would get clingy; there was more to it for Adam of course, still.<br><br>He took her hand when she offered it back up and squeezed it lightly. "Well, does your room need anything that you didn't bring?" Most people forgot or couldn't carry everything to a new college. "We could go shopping." Hell he was even up for, "Or clothes shopping." He added softly. It was a sacred oath in the fraternity of man that you were supposed to not be enthusiastic about it. <br><br>"Or just go for a walk..." He added. It was really up to her. He was willing to go out. "Lets do the walking stuff before it gets too hot." He remarked though. Noon was not fun to be in, though she probably thought it was cool. Wait until winter. "You do know how could it gets here right?" He added on that notion.

				When he squeezed her hand, she smiled, looking up at him before nodding. She thought it was nice of him to offer to go out with her to get whatever she needed, so she decided to take him up on the offer.<br>"Yeah, I could use a few things. I forgot all my hair elastics, and I only brought one towel. And I think there's more I forgot, but I can't remember. I was so excited to get here."<br>When he said they should go for a walk now, she nodded, slowly standing up and stretching before fixing her shirt. She also brushed her hair over one shoulder, running her fingers through it simultaneously before she spoke softly.<br><br>"You know, it's sweet of you to offer to go with me to get clothes, but don't worry about it. I wouldn't make you do that."<br>She helped him up, laughing lightly before reaching up and petting his cheek lightly. She liked how nice he was to her, although, she was sure he was just nice in general. But still, it made it easy to get used to living here. She slowly put her hand back into his, starting to walk out of the dining hall with him as she took a few deep breaths. As they made it outside, she smiled, the sun warming her skin as the wind blew her hair into her eyes. She giggled, brushing it away from her face as she looked up at him.<br>"What kinds of music do you like, Adam? I want to really get to know you."

				"I suppose that would depend on what we were shopping for." Visions of skimpy thongs, and lacy bras fluttered in his mind's eye but he controlled it well. He stepped out with her. "Just be thankful my car is clean." He joked. "I like anything before the nineties?" He said in more of a question. He liked some modern stuff but the older it was generally the more he liked it in terms of music. "What about you."<br><br>They reached his car. It wasn't anything special. It was an 01 Ford sedan with a few nicks, dings, eighty-thousand miles but it ran like a dream. It aged well. The sun glinted of its silver finish. "See just cleaned." He in fit of flirtatious manners opened her door for her and seated himself. Backing out he exited the school parking lots. He wasn't parked far from the dorm. Well not as far for just walking as having to carry things. "Where do you think you need to go?" Adam asked before he pulled onto the street. He wanted to know more about her too but when's your birthday seemed a little too fast. <br><br>The light was red so he hazarded a glance at the olive-skinned beauty ridding shotgun. He couldn't believe his luck. Now he only had to hide the fact that he really didn't enjoy driving in a college town with narrow, one-way streets and he was as appealing to her as he thought was legal.

				"Well, aren't you chivalrous. And I like a little bit of everything."<br>She slipped into the passenger seat, buckling her seatbelt and crossing her legs as she waited for him to get in. Once they were off, and he asked where they should go, she bit her lip and ran a hand back through her hair. She really didn't know where to go. She probably need a winter coat, but it was kind of early for that. Maybe a few tank tops, but definitely towels and clothes hangers and such. She shrugged slightly, looking over at him when they stopped at the red light before speaking.<br><br>"I guess the mall would be best. I just need a few tops and some towels and such. We can do something you want to, too. I mean, I know how boring shopping can be for guys."<br>She smiled at him, slowly leaning her head on his shoulder and resting her hand on his leg innocently. She stayed like that for a few minutes, shutting her eyes before finally sitting back up. She ran her hands over her legs firmly, essentially ironing out any crinkles in her jeans before looking up. She smiled when she saw the mall in sight, turning to him before taking a few deep breaths.<br>"I really appreciate this, you know. And I'll try to make it worth your while. I mean, like, if you want me to try something on, I will."<br>SHe blushed wildly, looking out the window for a moment before leaning&nbsp; her head on the glass. She was still really shy around him some of the time, and she didn't know why. I mean, he was so nice, but this was her first time doing anything even remotely close to this. Once he parked the car, she unbuckled her seatbelt, glancing over at him as she took a deep breath and let it out slowly. The blush was starting to fade from her cheeks luckily, so she looked back over at him and smiled before speaking.<br>"Should we go inside?"

				Adam laughed, "Don't worry about making it up to me, Eli." He didn't want their relationship to built on "I did this so you owe me one." He didn't notice her blushing because of her exquisitely exotic tan but he got the gist that she was because she looked away. He had liked the little gestures she showed in the car but he wasn't up to having her parade around Victoria's Secret for him. "I was going to get... a game..." He actually had a copy of Mass Effect 2 waiting on him but he didn't want her to know he liked science fiction. That was a relationship killer more than not in his experience. He only hoped she didn't ask which.<br><br>They walked in the mall. The tile the escalators... God he hated those things. He wasn't afraid of heights or anything he just lived in perpetual fear of falling down an up escalator. The smells of various shops wafted by. "Lets take a look at the directory." He said stopping before the large plastic display. "You probably want to go here, here, or here." Adam observed pointing to each of the shops with his fingers. "Depending on what you want." He forgot to mention that she would probably need a coat rated for snowy weather. It didn't occur to him. <br><br>Soon they struck off and reached the first shop. Adam felt kind of awkward. They had only been dating about a day and he felt obligated to buy her things, but... they had only been dating a day... life was complex. "Here's the first place. Does it look like what you need?" He asked. Adam had been contemplating holding her hand on the walk through the mall and decided the logical coarse of action was to try when they were going for the second shop. Because if she didn't want to hold hands then he could act like he was trying to take her bags, gentlemanly.<br><br>What was he fourteen? Mentally shaking himself he decided he was getting just an itsy bit antsy over this. He really liked her though...

				"Yeah, this place seems perfect. Just...will you...come in with me? I'm nervous...."<br>SHe smiled slightly, a bit nervous about going in by herself. Mainly because she knew that she could end up getting lost and well, that wouldn't be good. She swallowed hard, doing what she had wanted to since they got out of the car and taking his hand. She didn't look at him though, trying to calm herself before she finally let her eyes glance back at him. However, she chickened out after a few minutes, reluctantly letting go of his hand as her fingers traced over his palm. She then headed towards the back of the store, looking back every few seconds to make sure he was behind her. She made it over to the linens, picking up a towel and a few other items before going to get the rest of what she needed. In about fifteen minutes, she was done, and paid for her things before looking over him.<br><br>God....he was gorgeous. She shut her eyes a bit, blushing slightly as she imagined him kissing her the way he had last night. She couldn't help it. Elianna had loved that kiss. Sure, it was her first kiss, but it was one she was pretty damned sure she wouldn't forget.<br>"Okay, I think I have just about everything I need now. I think, anyways. You wanna go get your game?"<br>She asked sweetly, flipping her hair back as she let her green eyes slowly glance down his body before looking at some of the other shops.

				Adam waited patiently and stayed right with her. He felt the finger grazing his palm but didn't think it was intentional. He waited for her to chose what she wanted and pay for it. He decided he would buy her lunch. That would be the most acceptable thing for him to do. He didn't want to parade around buying her things because well then he wouldn't stop and he wasn't made of money. He clenched in mental terror when she suggested the go get his game together. "Oh, yeah... lets go." The horror. She would know for sure.<br><br>Adam walked down the avenues of shops and found the Game Stop. God he realized he'd been there way too often. He just liked video games too much. Oh well. "You know you don't have to come in if you don't want to." Adam knew it would be futile. She liked games. Maybe that wasn't so bad. Adam quickly picked up his game and left. The store, or more correctly his friend at the store had been holding it forever. Adam hadn't been able to get to this store where he originally reserved it. <br><br>Holding his bag he moved his free hand to one of hers where she was holding a bag of hers and decided to go through with his plan despite the childishness in its construction. "Anywhere else you want to see." He asked. It wasn't exactly lunch time yet. The food court in this mall boasted quite a few restaurant. Just about everything under the sun.

				As he rushed in and out of the store, she didn't even get a chance to see the game title, but that didn't mean she was giving up on it. She smiled and moved in front of him, stopping him as she glanced in the bag. The girl gasped, a smile coming to her face as she saw the game. Eli looked up into his eyes, giggling before biting her lip.<br>"You have got to let me watch you play. I'm terrible at the game, but it's so cool!"<br>She blushed slightly,&nbsp; glancing away from&nbsp; him as she tried to get it under control. Finally, she started walking with him again, and smiled slightly as she felt him grab her hand. She laced her fingers with his, looking over at him with a smile before moving slightly closer<br><br>"I'm not sure. I mean, I think I'm all done for now. Is there anything you want to do?"<br>She asked sweetly, leaning her head on his shoulder gently as she glanced around. She was slightly hungry, but nothing too serious that she couldn't ignore for a bit longer. She slowly shut her eyes, squeezing his hand lightly before standing up straight and fixing her jeans.<br>"So, Adam, um...."<br>She blushed slightly, glancing away before starting to walk aimlessly. She didn't know what to say, so she just kept quiet and looked at the ground.

				"Yeah... um..." He repeated after her. "I haven't really got anything else to do today either." He had to think about something else he was not going to let his first real outing with Eli fail. She was too cute for abject failure. He stretched his neck and looked around. "Well they have got a movie theater, but it's only open after noon, but we could eat first?" He suggested. He was getting hungrier and hungrier as they passed through booths and shops serving everything. Most people had a problem with American consumerism but Adam found he didn't think it was all that bad. It brought farm more things that were fun and interesting and having it all in one place just saves on gasoline. "Or there's a bookstore maybe hey have some of your schoolbooks cheaper." Adam suggested. It was smart considering the ruinous prices of college texts.<br><br>Adam would have liked to scout for new reading material. His little bookshelf in his room was absolutely packed to the brim with books. He didn't care for this push for E-readers or whatever they were either. He didn't want to read on a computer screen all day. That was just him though he supposed. Right now he was enjoying the way her dark hair curled a little making her look seductively cute.

				"Well, my father already bought my books. But I'd love to go in anyways and look around. Then we can eat something. And then we can go from there."<br>She giggled sweetly, looking up into his eyes for a second&nbsp; as she moved in front of him. She walked backwards for several steps, laughing at herself softly before moving back to his side. She didn't know why she felt so goofy around him. She figured it was because she liked him, but it still didn't seem like an actual reason. More like something that would make him less interested in her. She sighed softly, moving slightly closer to him as they approached the store. She slowly pulled her hand out of his when they got there, but only to move it to her lower back so she could switch her bags to her other hand. Eli smiled slightly as they walked through the door tot he store, looking up at him for a moment as she smiled.<br><br>"What sort of books did you want?"<br>She asked kindly and softly, her now free hand slipping around her back and touching his hand gently. She didn't really care what section they went to, since she loved to read almost everything. She bit her lower like temptingly, looking up at him with those big, olive eyes as she smiled slightly.

				She was cute the way she acted goofy. Adam thought it was very endearing. He never thought he'd be walking the mall with a girl as pretty as Eli anyways. He'd dated of course, and maybe it was the idea of dating a foreign beauty from far off lands that appealed to him but he did find her very easy to be around despite the goofiness, "Well there are other books besides textbooks you know?" He joked lightly as they stepped into the warm store and the smell of new paper and binding. Adam liked that smell. It was most likely because he was an English major and books were his bread and butter; the smell of new ink and the like held infinite appeal for him. <br><br>Still being with a gorgeous young woman like Eli didn't hurt either. "Oh I thought we'd just browse, no need to go looking for anything specific." He added with a firm but gentle squeeze of her delicate hand. He ran his thumb over it absentmindedly as he looked at the spines of the bookstore's selection. It was a good day so far. Though it would probably get a little difficult for them to hang around like this once classes started in earnest.

				As the entered the store, she smiled and took a few steps forwards, walking slightly ahead of him as she glanced over at him. She giggled softly when he said they'd just browse, but as he squeezed her hand, she blushed a bit. As his thumb ran over the back of her hand, she very gingerly moved it to her hip, making it so his arm was wrapped around her waist. She glanced up at him shyly, smiling at him before leaning her head onto his shoulder. She liked being this close to him, which was honestly quite strange for her. She normally was very skittish. Sweet, but skittish. She put her hand over his, running the tups of her fingers over them slowly before something caught her eye. The history section. She was, at best, obsessed with it. She always wanted to learn more and more, and even when she had finally finished a five hundred page book, she wanted an even bigger on to read.<br><br>"I'll be over there, okay, Adam?"<br>She slowly, and quite reluctantly, left his side, practically skipping over the the history books before looking them over. It was quite adorable the way the short girl stretched up, trying desperately to grab a book on the top shelf. Her shirt rose up a good four inches, showing her back as she finally got her fingertips on the book. She finally brought it down, flipping open the almost seven hundred page book as her hair fell into her face. It seemed that her major wasn't her only interest, as one could tell by the brilliant smile on hr face while she read the first page.
