Corbin: The College Years, part 14.5
By Corbin, corbin@poetic.com
How life
tests the endurance, patience, and sometimes faith of one young woman.
Pre-Story Introduction/Ranting/Venting/Rambling…
So here I
am, to answer a question; Some people may be under the illusion that if you
seriously workout, one must obviously have some strict method of lifting/cardio
and so on that is followed, day in and day out. Actually no, and of course I am
speaking for myself. That being said, let me go on to say that I do not tote
around a notebook and keep a log of all of my routines…believe it folks.
I just go with what feels right on that particular day…and partly because
I have been doing it for so long now it is just second nature. What I eat and
drink…how I bike and run…lift and so on has pretty much evolved to
a point that my body guides me now, not any manual or log entry. Yes, there are
days I push myself beyond what I should do.
So now as I
went back and re-read this for grammar and spelling errors…so
many…I had to just comment;
I feel like
that maybe this incident below was the ‘beginning of the end’, is
that the right phrase to use? I am not sure…what I am trying to say is
that things come to a head in this part and set in motion several
things…mostly bad I think…but good in a way. Hey look at me! I am
making no sense :) as I type this…maybe I’ll just get on with it
and things will become self-evident.
A small
rant: Why do guys stare at boobs as if they have never seen a pair?
90% of all
men I meet never make initial eye contact, first they size up my breasts and
then look up to make eye contact…it’s that obvious
guys…I’m looking straight ahead…you are looking down, then
you look up. (At least I can see your eyeballs moving). I think I should right
a book called “The Art of Discretion”, where I teach men to use
their ‘Peripheral Vision’. Actually, I have a humorous attitude
about the whole thing, you guys have an expression that is priceless…for
one split second there is this childlike look of…”MAMA!!” and
then you snap too attention.
That’s
right…come to Mama…and then *POW*, right in the kisser!! :) Just
kidding…well maybe…
Part 14.5
'It
shouldn't bother me'
'Nikki and
I could never be friends' Sharon told herself, she sensed that Nikki had sized
Sharon up from the first time they met, 'judging' her and while the raven-haired
beauty was quiet like Corbin she was not placid or laid back.
'And I
know...'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(What a
fucking mess! That’s the first thing that comes to mind as I try to
relate the following. I actually feel a tad nervous going back into all the
details because being thrust into the spotlight was never a comfortable place
for me to be…oh well, I’ll stop my bellyaching and get on with
it…)
Goalkeeping
drills
Defending
drills
Possession
play drills
Running
with the ball drills
Attacking
play…blah blah blah…
It seemed
like the coach was trying to kill us…we could never run fast
enough…score enough…move the ball enough…make the right
play…’And it looks like it’s going to rain’ Corbin
looked up at the sky, which didn’t really bother her too much. The rain
made it fun to play…at times the game seemed like it was meant to be played
in the rain…especially when the field got muddy, slipping and sliding
around. A big fucking, fun mess :)
And then it
did start to rain…not much, just a very, very faint drizzle and everyone
was getting tired…sloppy…even a little punchy with the plays. Of
course, the Coach saw no humor in any of it and just yelled at everyone louder,
chastising the ones that broke into giggles when they would slip or collide
with another teammate. A second wind of energy ran thru Corbin’s body
when she almost collided into another player on her team. Her legs and arms
were burning and she was now openly breathing thru her mouth, but still there
was enough reserves to keep pushing herself and she even smiled because best of
all, Corbin had managed to avoid Mora, other then a couple of close calls
during the scrimmage. Mora was playing on the opposing team, Right-Forward
while Corbin was Left-Midfield.
As the
clock wound down, with every ticking second Mora lost focus on the
game…the ball…as the time slipped away, so were her chances. Her
eyes watched the darting blonde move, block, twist, and dance around the
field…’and that fucking stupid smile on her face’ she wanted
to wipe it off in the worst possible way. Mora probably made a decision that
would have major consequences when she spotted Crissy playfully pushing Corbin
on the back; ‘What the fuck?’ was probably all the Latin girl could
think, Crissy actually looked to be joking with Corbin on the field, right in
front of Mora’s eyes. ‘It was only a few days ago that two-timing
bitch was right there next to me making jokes at Corbin’s expense!’
Mora thought to herself…her blood pressure was on the rise now, boiling
over the rim.
Corbin took
the friendly banter with Crissy cautiously, there was a sense of relief that
maybe the girl was going to actually start treating Corbin decently
again…’You never know, don’t let your guard down’
Corbin warned herself as she got ready for the ball to be put back into play.
The taunts
and threats…they were no longer enough, it seemed this would be the
ultimate moment…the greatest opportunity that Mora would have to flatten
that smug bitch, once and for all in front of everyone. And so when Mora
suddenly found herself in possession of the ball, setting up for a goal was the
last thing on her mind, but setting up Corbin was, “You and me
bitch” Mora seethed and actually felt her teeth clench, as the growl
seemed to resonate deep within her throat. The blinders came down and the only
thing she saw was her target, she leaned her body and watched Corbin’s
eyes…then the blonde’s head turned to look for the
setup…’She took the bait’ Mora’s heart leapt. While
Mora was exhausted she found a little bit of energy reserve and began trying to
cover the short distance between her and the blonde, getting herself ready to throw
her entire body…shoulder first…into the unsuspecting girl. She knew
the repercussions could be…would be…harsh, especially if the Coach
or Team suspects she did it on purpose, part of her hopes that it comes out
looking like an accidental collision. ‘But I really don’t give a shit’
Mora thought as her cruel lips curled into a nasty sneer of satisfaction as she
transferred her body into a human missile.
From her
left side a blurring uniform came into Corbin’s peripheral vision, and to
this day she wasn’t sure what happened, but her mind simply screamed
“COLLISION” !!
‘Fuck this is going to hurt’ was the only thought Corbin
seemed able to formulate, it happened so fast, too fast and there was nowhere
to go, at least no time to move out of the way. Corbin shuddered and winced as
she retracted her arms folding them against her chest and every muscle in her
body tensed…praying she would turn into a granite statue and deflect the
blow, in the last possible second her right leg shot out and locked at the knee
to brace for the impact. From an outsiders perspective it must have looked like
an unstoppable object on collision course with a unmovable object in what came
down to was a test of wills, determination…sheer human strength and
drive.
“UGGHGHHHH
FUCK” Corbin grunted and literally felt her entire body shudder
violently, her feet shifted several inches across the ground as a pair of sweat
drenched bodies smashed into one another. Corbin’s ears popped and she
felt what could only be described as a bone-jarring impact and then nothing,
silence, until a few seconds later Corbin heard a whistle blowing in the
background and the sound of several voices getting closer. Her eyes flickered
open as her legs seemed to wobble and then move on their own, taking two steps
back to help keep her balance. ‘I can’t move’ Corbin thought
at first, until her mind kicked in and forced her muscles to relax, but because
her head was tucked down she could watch as white knuckles regained some of
their color as one finger at a time slowly unclenched. Immediately an agonizing
soreness made it’s way thru the left side of her body…inch by
painful inch it spread as she relaxed.
“You
okay?” Bev, Nikki, and several other girls gingerly touched her shoulders
and head, flocking about her. Corbin didn’t answer right away; she was
still trying to figure out if she was still really on her feet or what happened
or had she been helped up to her feet.
“Corbin”
Nikki’s voice finally registered but she wasn’t paying attention,
subconsciously Corbin was turning to the girl that collided into
her…turning to her left because that was the direction from which she
felt the impact. ‘Fuck’ Corbin sighed when she saw Mora lying on
the ground, holding her left shoulder. Several drops of sweat tickled
Corbin’s eyelids as she blinked to clear her vision, watching how
Mora’s legs slowly squirmed over the wet grass in a display that conveyed
agony.
“¡Soy
fino!” Mora yelled in a hostile tone, but she couldn’t disguise the
tell tale signs from her eyes, eyes from which flowed tears as she struggled to
sit up. The Coach and everyone insisted she remain still, but that was no use.
‘Damn
she is one tough bitch’ Corbin thought, the girl was obviously holding
back allot of pain from the way she was nursing her left arm and shoulder, she
seemed to fight with every once of strength to keep from openly sobbing, but
the tears kept streaming from her eyes. More so when Mora looked up and their
eyes met, Corbin quickly looked away, something didn’t seem right in
Mora’s expression.
“What?”
Corbin finally glanced to her right, a delayed reaction to Nikki calling for
her attention yet again.
“MORA!
STOP!” The coach screamed and something told Corbin it was more of a
warning and Corbin jerked her head to the left. Corbin had spent
days…weeks training herself, learning to use every part of her body that
the game would allow, so anytime an object came flying towards her head she
would naturally set herself up to keep the ball in play, to move her head
forward instinctively and engage the ball. But not this time, for some
unexplainable reason, maybe luck…god…or instinct kicking in, this
time she jerked her entire neck and head back several inches, barely
enough…barely in the sense that a whoosh of air passed in front of her
face and Mora’s knuckles skimmed the very tip of her nose.
“FUCK”
Corbin spat, she dodged the punch, but the aftershock seemed to immediately set
in as Mora had thrown everything she had into it. Her right fist came swinging
around with her whole body behind the effort, but no connection was to be
found; Mora’s frame simply continued twisting until she lost her balance
and hit the deck…yet again. Corbin suspected that had that punch
connected, it would have been lights out…Mora might have broken a few
fingers also, but that was not likely to be a consideration on her part. By
now, the Coach and seven to ten girls were between them. Corbin found it odd
that she had a few girl’s holding her shoulders and neck but she
wasn’t even doing anything, just standing there. Mora was the one needing
restraining, her body flailed as she fought to get at Corbin.
“How’s
your arm?” The Coach was now standing next to Corbin, asking with
concern.
“Really
sore” Corbin sighed but agreed to get it checked out as she rotated her
shoulder to check for injury. One by one she felt hands release her arms when
it was clear she wasn’t going to retaliate against Mora. “Come over
here” Corbin heard Nikki say and willingly allowed herself to be lead to
another part of the field by her friend. ‘This sucks’ Corbin
thought as a really great day just went down the tubes, even the sun breaking
thru the clouds did little to lighten Corbin’s despair, despair over the
fact that no matter how nice or accommodating she was now, Mora was never going
to let up…never…
“You
sure you’re okay?” Nikki asked as she and Corbin stretched out on
the ground.
“Yeah,
I’m fine…I think…just shaken up” Corbin winced as she
laid down, feeling the muscles along her back and left side ache. The rain
clouds had moved on and Corbin decided it best to wait out things, let Mora
change and get out of the locker room before going in. But emotionally and
mentally she wasn’t fine…something bad was setting in…in an
ironic moment, Corbin felt like something dark was beginning to fill her subconscious
even as the sun continued to break free from the scattering clouds.
“What
a shame there aren’t more clouds in the sky” Nikki sighed, “I
love this time of the day, to be able to relax and watch the formations”.
She tried
to make small talk, but noticed that Corbin was far from fine, something was
churning in the blonde’s head…her soul…Nikki feared the worse
and for once, feared for Mora.
Corbin
realized how quiet she had become and quickly snapped to attention, smiling she
lifted her head off the ground looking over at Nikki who remained looking up.
Corbin rested her head back down and studied a small, white billowy formation
floating above. “Do you see that small one?” Corbin asked.
“Yeah”
Nikki said as they both lay in the middle of the soccer field thankful that Corbin
was engaging her, ‘Maybe she’s okay after all’ Nikki
pondered. “What are you doing tonight?” Nikki asked, making small
talk more then anything.
“Studying”
Corbin said less then enthusiastically.
“Again?
You study more then anyone else I know”
“Yeah”
Corbin sighed, “It takes several re-reads for the material to sink into
my thick skull” and even chuckled a little.
“Your
thick head is great for knocking around the soccer ball” Nikki smirked at
her taunt as she sat up brushing the dry grass from her legs and arms. Just
then, a shadow fell over her from behind as she glanced to her right noticing
Corbin had already gotten up and was now standing directly behind her.
“Need
some help getting up granny?” Corbin teased.
“I
think I can manage” Nikki smiled and went to stand up, but suddenly felt
a firm nudge in her back from Corbin's knee, forcing her back down onto the
ground.
“You
sure?” Corbin asked again and moved right next to Nikki, who was almost
on all fours now, recovering from Corbin's push.
“Yeah...I'm
sure” Nikki continued to smile at Corbin's sudden mischievous actions and
went to stand again only to be knocked back down with a little more force
causing her to roll over onto her left side. She looked up at the imposing
blonde standing almost on top of her, hands on her hips looking down with a
smile of satisfaction.
“Here,
I'm just foolin' around” Corbin smiled and reached down offering her
right hand. Nikki hesitated, her mouth curling into a suspicious grin as she
hesitantly reached up with her left hand. Sure enough, Nikki had gotten half
way up when Corbin suddenly let all of the weight from her 5' 10”, 160lb
muscular frame come crashing down on top of Nikki, as if she was trying to
smoother the girl.
“Oh
it's going to be like that, now is it?” Nikki grunted as she began to
resist more. Nikki had never really tested herself against Corbin, other then
mild fooling around and she had no reason to think that this would be anything
but a repeat of their playfulness…at least at first…
“Not
'going' to be,” Corbin smiled, “but it 'IS' like that” as she
began to try and secure the struggling girl's wrists. Corbin worked fast to
secure Nikki’s arms, she knew that her friend was deadly when it came to
wrestling based on her martial arts training.
“Come
'on wimp, is that all you got” Nikki taunted from the bottom.
Corbin
shifted into overdrive and began to power Nikki’s arms down to the
ground. That’s when Nikki
realized Corbin’s strength could truly amaze her at times…and this
was one of those times, “Fuck” Nikki groaned and realized she was
going to have to quickly utilize all her skills and quickly, there was no way
she could out muscle Corbin, although Nikki was strong she wasn’t strong
enough. Their smiles had now faded and the unskilled Corbin grunted, trying to
wrap up Nikki’s twisting limbs. Even with her training, Nikki felt like
years of work were becoming unraveled and it frustrated the raven haired girl
to no end as her jiu-jitsu techniques were quickly countered by Corbin’s
strength, endurance…and the blonde’s seemingly natural aptitude for
wrestling. ‘She either knows more then she has ever let on, or just
getting lucky’ Nikki thought to herself while trying to unlatch herself
from Corbin’s grip. She
watched as Corbin’s fingers curled around portions of her soccer top and
found it impossible to unclench the blonde’s fists. Nikki’s eyes
just burned into her friend, but those hazel eyes of Corbin’s fought her
right back as they stared one another down during their impromptu fight on the
soccer field. Their hot, sweaty bodies twisting and turning under the late
afternoon sun seemed to take on another level of aggression between the two
girls and Nikki was shocked that she was suddenly loosing her composure.
‘Now I’m truly getting pissed off’ Nikki fumed at how she was
unable to quickly regain control of the situation…and her emotions, not
only did she want to prove her skills to Corbin, but something deeper inside
wanted to vent her frustrations on the blonde. It simply rocked Nikki’s
subconscious to detect a growing sexual frustration with and for Corbin, it was
clouding her drive and decision making, not only now but also in everything
Nikki seemed to try and focus on lately. Nikki’s legs were conducting
their own attack, latching around Corbin’s waist, trying to control her,
but Corbin’s would reach back and hook Nikki’s ankle, spinning out
of Nikki’s ‘guard’ repeatedly, with amazing ease and speed.
Corbin lost
her grip several times as Nikki twisted and then rolled out from under
Corbin’s body, slipping free. Quickly both girls were on their knees
about three feet from one another, both gasping thru open mouths, the friendly
tussle had gone further then either intended and Corbin glanced around
nervously to see if they had drawn a crowd, but the field was still barren.
Nikki also glanced around as she took several deep breaths while nervous,
frustrated hands fumbled with pulling her long black hair into a ponytail. She
struggled to keep her anger from boiling over, ’God fucking dammit’
Nikki cursed privately as she couldn’t control the shaking of her hands
as she watched Corbin shift her knees over the grass, ‘I shouldn’t
be having this much trouble with her’ Nikki fumed.
Corbin felt
a droplet of sweat hang off the end of her nose, she wiped it away quickly as a
smile came over her lips, she wasn’t sure why, but it felt good to
fight…to vent her frustrations like this. She just wished it was Mora
across from her and her fists clenched involuntarily at the particular thought
of that Latin bitch staring her down…taunting her. ‘Damn, get a
grip’ Corbin chided, reminding herself it was Nikki she was wrestling
with and not to get too carried away.
“You’re
going down” Nikki gasped as she took another drink of air, forcing a
smile from the corner of her mouth as she tried to present an air of
lightheartedness to the thus far friendly-fight, but she knew it was anything
but lighthearted. She and Corbin had so many suppressed feelings between each
other that this match now seemed inevitable, as the only way to vent their
bottled up emotions.
“Bring
it on” Corbin sighed, taunting with a flick of her wrist, but was
surprised at how quickly Nikki lunged for her. Before the blonde could react
Nikki’s sweaty arm was around her neck, their chests smacked together as
she was tackled to the ground. Pretty soon they’re was a flurry of
activity where the two women weren’t even wrestling, they were almost
throwing themselves at one another with ferocious intensity, loud grunting as
Corbin used her strength, but Nikki would use her techniques to wiggle out and
try and get a hold, but her emotions, anger and other feelings were boiling
over. Nikki was pretty sure she had a submission hold within her reach when
Corbin would muscle her way out, only to instantly lockup again, wrapping arms
and legs around one another thus starting a roll across the grass. Nikki winced
a couple of times as her legs would get scissored by Corbin’s and when
Corbin clamped down with those thighs it hurt like hell, not to mention that if
it wasn’t for the aid of the sweat on her wrists and arms, Corbin would
be able to control her more. And then it happened, an unsettling feeling of
panic set in at as Nikki lay on the bottom assessing her situation, her dark
eyes glanced off to the right and watched as Corbin’s left arm easily
powered her right forearm down to the ground, forcing it into a very painful
folded position above her head;
“Jesus
Corbin” Nikki gasped, spit and sweat flying from her trembling lips; not
only did she feel helpless now but the blonde’s grip was getting painful
as well…’Sure to leave bruises’ Nikki considered. ‘This
is bullshit!’ Nikki thought, her eyes darted around as her mind struggled
to catch up…trying to wiggle any available part of her body, but
‘what the fuck? I’m trapped! Bullshit!’ she felt both her
wrists pressed painfully against the ground as her legs were
grapevined…totally immobile. ‘If I just try a little harder’
Nikki thought and poured every bit of effort she had into moving her arms and
legs, her waist heaved and twisted and turned but Corbin pressed more of her
own torso down, making it harder for Nikki to breath.
“Give?”
Corbin sighed with a smile. Nikki stopped struggling, her eyes watched the
cords of muscle starting along Corbin’s shoulders…those biceps
constricting with an unending amount of energy and she winced when she felt
Corbin’s fist clench tighter around her trapped wrist. Nikki normally
wouldn’t mind this position so much as their shirts were pulled and
twisted up around their chests, leaving their bare bellies exposed…slick
with sweat…pressing hard against one another. But there was little
enjoyment in this particular moment as Nikki’s felt her legs cramping and
her shoulder aching with a growing pain…and she involuntarily winced at
the incredible discomfort, ‘I’m going to have to give up’ she
suddenly realized.
“Sorry…too
much?” Corbin froze and looked down at her friend with concern,
recognizing Nikki’s look of pain and let her whole body go lax.
You would
have thought relinquishing the hold would have brought thankful relief from the
trapped girl, but in a shocking twist, it brought only an angry wraith…
“Damn
it Corbin! Don’t you ever fucking let up!” Nikki snapped from the
bottom, chastising Corbin for letting the hold go, but Nikki wasn’t going
to let opportunity pass and hooked Corbin’s right leg and arm allowing
her to bridge and roll the blonde over. Corbin was still collecting
herself…shocked at how angrily Nikki had just gotten with her, yet Nikki
was wasting no time in gaining a dominate position on top leaning all the way
down until she felt their breasts press against one another and it was an
unnerving but delightful distraction. Gently she tightened her forearm around
Corbin’s neck, just to let her know she had her; but it was a hollow
victory for Corbin simply seemed lay there, her body mostly limp. Nikki turned
her head to the right and felt her nose and lips press into Corbin’s
sweat covered cheek as her lips rubbed over the blonde’s smooth skin and
grunted her question in exhaustion;
“Do
you give?” Nikki asked while inhaling the smell of Corbin’s sweat
soaked skin, it was such a turn on that Nikki had to fight the urge to act on
it.
“Yeah”
Corbin moaned and then Nikki pushed off, her weary body landing with a flop on the
ground next to Corbin’s. Her left arm still trapped under the crook of
the Corbin’s neck, their sweat soaked uniforms clinging to their bodies.
It had been the most exhilarating thing she had ever experienced, in
Nikki’s eyes it was like making love, but not quite the same, she thought
she may never cross that line with Corbin, never sure she nor the blonde could
handle the consequences. Slowly Nikki struggled to prop herself onto her elbows
and was surprised to see that their uniforms were in total disarray. Their
waist bands of their soccer shorts had become twisted and pulled down from the
ferocity of their fighting, which in turn revealed the upper portions of their
panties, bare stomachs fluttered with heavy breathing and glistened a heavy
coating of sweat. Nikki eyed Corbin’s bare stomach, it was an amazing
body that the blonde had…so toned and muscular, her abs were the epitome
of ‘six-pack’ that looked chiseled out of stone.
“I’m
sorry, I don’t understand…” Corbin sighed.
“DON’T!”
Nikki snapped and looked away, not wanting Corbin to see the anger on her face.
“Nik!
Why are you so mad?” Corbin sighed and looked over, her face a mask of
emotional pain and concern never having seen Nikki get cross with her like
this.
“Because
I want you to stop second guessing yourself. Yes, it hurt like hell, but you
fucking could have taken me back there and yet you keep holding back! Why? I
want to know why! Why the fuck did you just give up like that?” Nikki
shook her head in dismay.
“I…but
I’m…I’m…we’re just messing
around…that’s all…” Corbin tried to explain.
Nikki
realized that Corbin probably, literally, didn’t’ know her own
strength, but wasn’t going to cut her a break;
“Look
Corbin…” Nikki wiped the sweat from her forehead with her arm and
went to stand up, “…tough shit, okay?” Nikki glared down at
her friend, “…sometimes people get hurt, I saw how you handled
yourself in the locker room that day. Knocking those girls around like rag
dolls when you really pushed yourself…”
“I
don’t want to talk about that” Corbin suddenly bolted upright, a
trace of angry emotion in her eyes…perhaps even the trace of tears as she
recalled that evening.
“Right
there!” Nikki pointed her finger in Corbin’s face, “That
look…that determination is what I’m talking about…”
“Why
are you driving at? Why are we having this conversation?” Corbin waved
her arms frantically as they were now standing face to face.
“Because
I know that Mora is giving you a hard time on and off campus” Nikki
suddenly said.
“What?”
Corbin’s head suddenly leaned back, her expression going semi-blank,
simply looking over at Nikki thru tangled, grass filled blonde hair.
“Mora”
Nikki looked with a knowing stare and then looked away catching sight of some
guys appearing at the far end of the field kicking around a soccer ball. Nikki
waved back to them and prayed they wouldn’t come over.
“Gheesh…will
you and everyone drop it already, she’s no big deal, please…I just
have to learn to take it, it’s no big deal” Corbin shrugged waving
her right hand as if casually swatting a fly.
“ARE
YOU BLIND! She just tried to cream you a few minutes ago! Where the hell where
you?” Nikki yelled, startling Corbin enough that she jumped back a couple
of inches.
“It
was an accident,” Corbin protested meekly.
“BULLSHIT!”
Nikki yelled again, “She ran right for you and ended getting knocked her
on her ass in front of everyone, and if you think she is going to stop
now…well you better think again! But you’re not thinking, are you?
You just want to bury you’re head in the sand…” Nikki could
believe she had totally lost her composure and quickly turned away swiping the
grass and dirt from her palms.
“What
do you want me to do? Go start a fight with her!” Corbin snapped,
practically choking on her words as she walked around to Nikki’s right,
trying to look her in the face.
“Yes!...I
mean ‘no’…” Nikki glared to her right quickly and then
looked away pacing around in circles with her hand on her hips, she
didn’t want to be the one to tell Corbin what to do. She didn’t
want the burden of Corbin running off and doing something stupid…worse
yet getting kicked off the team for beating up someone, or god forbid Corbin
loosing her composure and getting herself hurt.
“So
now you want me to…” Corbin waved her hands out to her side in a
panicked manner.
“No…no…I’m
just upset that’s all.” Nikki sighed as her head hung low trying to
take slow deep breaths.
“Upset
with me?” Corbin grumbled as she caught up with her friend.
“More
so with myself, for getting my ass kicked…” Nikki mumbled as she continued
her slow, lazy walk off the field.
“Oh
come on Nik!” Corbin playfully pushed her shoulder, “We were just
fooling…” Corbin smiled trying bringing some lighthearted feelings
back.
“I
wasn’t fooling around Corbin!” Nikki suddenly stopped and pointed
back to where they had wrestled, “I mean what the fuck, you know
it’s a tough thing to swallow when you get your ass handed to you by
someone that was just ‘fooling around’” Nikki shook her head
in disgust, “My instructor would be so pissed if he knew…”
but she didn’t finish, but ran her fingers thru her hair in frustration.
“Come
on, what do you mean, I was trying just as hard” Corbin shrugged but when
Nikki’s eyes glared up at her, she saw that the more she tried to make
Nikki feel better the more it seemed to insult her intelligence. Corbin looked
away quickly and wished she was somewhere else, wondering how her life was
seeming to spin out of control.
Nikki
quickly collected herself and picked up on the tremble in her friends left knee
and arms, slowly she approached and raised her left hand to grasp
Corbin’s right shoulder. “Look…” Nikki took a deep
breath and quickly glanced around the field, they were still alone and she
continued…
“…I’m
sorry for getting so abrupt with you, but I am very serious, you have so much
potential” But Nikki could tell Corbin was tuning her out…or maybe
her mind was simply elsewhere.
Nikki simply lowered her head and closed her eyes for a second, maybe
things were getting too carried away, “…look…” Nikki
brought her head back up and slumped her shoulders forward with fatigue,
“…let’s go change and…just…just come
on…” Nikki reached up with her right hand and pulled Corbin along.
Reluctantly she took a few steps and the more Nikki pulled the quicker Corbin
picked her pace up.
“Let’s
go shower” Nikki said and wrapped her arm around Corbin’s shoulder.
“You
think there will be any hot water left?” Corbin sighed as they walked
towards the women’s locker room.
“God
I hope so” Nikki huffed while running her fingers thru her sweat soaked
black hair.
Walking into the locker room, which was deserted by now, was
rather eerie and silently both girls parted and went to their respective
lockers but Corbin abruptly stopped fiddling with the combination on her lock,
“Nikki” Corbin sighed.
“Yeah?”
“I think I’m just going to shower back at my
room…if that’s okay” Corbin slowly unlatched the lock and
began pulling her stuff out.
“You okay” Nikki turned.
“Yeah, just sore, tired, and…” Corbin sighed
quietly, laying her stuff out on the bench.
“That’s fine…” Nikki paused detecting
something somber a slight change about Corbin demeanor and worried is she had
made a mistake pushing her friend too far.
“Mind if I tag along?” Nikki asked.
“Huh?” Corbin looked up from her self induced daze.
“Mind if I tag along” Nikki repeated.
“Oh, sure...yeah, you can even shower there too if you
like” Corbin was speaking but the words came out in an automated manner
and tone. No surprise there, her mind was spinning out of control with anxiety.
She worried about how she would react to if Mora kept pushing her…or
anyone else for that matter…’Can I keep walking away? But again,
what if things go to far and I or Mora get hurt, that girl could flip out and
turn me in…or…I could get kicked out of school…’ Corbin’s
mind drifted. Soon she and Nikki were almost to the car and still
Corbin’s mind was lost in thought.
“What?” Corbin jumped and looked to her left from
where she sat in the passenger seat, feeling where Nikki had suddenly placed
her right palm on Corbin’s bare left thigh.
“Don’t worry so much” Nikki sighed and drove
with her left hand while her right softly rubbed Corbin’s thigh muscles.
But it did little to alleviate Corbin’s stress, she looked away without
saying a word and pressed her forehead against he passenger side window, her
eyes glazed over as she looked at the students…cars…whatever flash
past their moving car.
“You go ahead” Nikki dropped her gym bag on the ground
and sat on Corbin’s bed, stretching out as her friend went in to shower.
A few minutes later Corbin emerged, her long blonde hair was slicked back still
fairly damp. She had on a loose, white button down linen shirt and a pair of
gym shorts that stopped about mid thigh. And what a pair of thighs they were
Nikki noticed, but her eyes quickly darted up…for Corbin had left the
shirt unbuttoned, leaving a good portion of her chest and stomach exposed.
Nikki was never one to stare…but her eyes had become transfixed on this
incredibly hot woman in front of her…Corbin’s abs rolled under a
sheen of still wet skin and with no bra, a hint of damp cleavage peaked out
from where the shirt lay open down the middle of her chest. Nikki’s heart
pounded as she felt a warm flush radiate thru her body, more embarrassing was
how the warmth between her legs seemed to affect her like never before. Her
eyes remained transfixed as Corbin leaned down to pick up some laundry and
Nikki observed how patches of Corbin’s skin were still damp with water,
evident in how the thin linen material clung instantly to Corbin’s back,
making the fabric almost see thru, especially around Corbin’s breasts.
“All yours” Corbin tilted her head towards the
bathroom door, but wouldn’t look Nikki in the eye. More of a distraction
then anything was how her mind was over analyzing what to do about Mora. A
shiver ran up Corbin’s back when Nikki stood and walked up to her,
touching the top of her shoulders and giving her an affectionate squeeze, just
for a second and then the touch was gone. It was a simple look, reassuring and
gentle…Corbin didn’t even have to make the effort to smile back as
Nikki turned to the bathroom. Corbin remained standing and leaned back against
the dresser, looking down at a pair of folded Soccer shorts in her hand, and
she even considered quitting…just to move on past all of this. The shower
kicked on and Corbin glanced up, from where she stood she could see into the
bathroom, the door was open and weather Nikki left it open on purpose or not,
who knows, but Corbin caught herself eyeing her friend’s body, the shiny
film of sweat that covered her from head to toe gave Nikki’s beautifully
athletic form a sensual aura. Corbin’s fingers clutched at her shorts,
her world was doing flip-flops from anxiety over how close she and Nikki were
getting, and the sexual tension that was building was not a part of her
imagination either.
Corbin had
barely a moment to sit down at her desk when Nikki was standing in the doorway,
practically still dripping wet as she pulled a t-shirt over her body, she too
left her bra off and looked over at Corbin sitting at her desk. “I want
you to lay down on the bed” Nikki pointed, somewhat authoritatively.
“What?
Why?” Corbin leaned back in her chair, her left eye cocked with
suspicion.
“Cause,
I feel some responsibility for the funk you’re in and just do it
please” Nikki said and watched as Corbin slowly stood up, her shirt was
still unbuttoned and she made a step towards the bed, but Nikki daringly took a
couple of steps to cut her off.
“Wait…I
want…” Nikki sighed and nervously smiled as she reached for the
collar of Corbin’s shirt.
”What?” Corbin felt her entire body stiffen with anxiety as she
watched Nikki hesitate, but continued to grasp her shirt.
“No
more teasing,” Nikki looked down and smirked, “I’ll give you
that massage I’ve always promised, but you have to take your shirt
off” Nikki had not noticed that her voice was trailing off to barely
above a whisper at this point. “Trust me okay” Nikki sighed.
Corbin’s
smile was born out of nervousness, and it was barely a smile at all as she
nodded her head, letting her friend peel off the damp shirt from around her
shoulders and pull down. Nikki struggled to keep her
thoughts more on simply helping her friend relax but she felt the little
tingles from between her legs as she continued to study Corbin’s skin,
arms…chest, it was a joy to admire such a fine body and then she blurted
it out; “Damn Corbin” Nikki sighed and shook her head.
“What?”
Corbin froze and felt her chest rise from a deep intake of air.
“Just that…” Nikki smiled and even blushed a
little.
“What, spit is out!” Corbin looked up cautiously.
“…you have a hell of body” Nikki blurted out and
closed her eyes thinking she would die from admitting her physical affection
for her friend. Corbin was sure she was blushing more then ever.
“Thank you” Corbin’s voice came out as a weak
squeak.
“What’s wrong?” Nikki quickly looked up, afraid
she might have gone too far in her compliment.
“Just try carrying these around all the time” Corbin
sighed and shook her chest back and forth a couple of times causing her almost
‘D’ size breasts to sway back and forth.
“I’ll trade you” Nikki smiled, sticking out her
‘C’ breasts, “Besides, they’re incredible…simply
perfect…” Nikki said but wasn’t sure if she went too far yet
again and never completed the sentence.
Corbin’s entire body felt flush and thought, just for
moment, she could feel her friend’s eyes still studying her breasts.
“Now, lay down…face down…” Nikki stepped back and
pointed to the bed.
“Yes ma’am” Corbin said and slowly placed her
knee on the mattress, the bed moved slightly as Corbin adjusted her body over
the sheets. Corbin watched as Nikki reached into her gym bag and casually
poured some body lotion onto her palm. Carefully Nikki seemed to approach the
bed and straddled Corbin’s butt, letting her weight come to rest;
“Comfortable?”
“Very” Corbin sighed and her body felt a shudder
ripple in all directions when Nikki’s fingers touched down and slowly
began to spread the lotion all over her back.
Nikki
made sure to be more gentle with Corbin's bruised shoulder, inflicted by Mora's
brutal charge. Corbin sighed again, as Nikki's fingers set down with the
tenderness of a feather and began squeezing her muscles lightly, and releasing
them momentarily. Corbin cringed with every squeeze, feeling her muscles
constrict and slowly release the built up tension of an entire week's stress.
The soothing pressure moved lower towards her shoulder blades and then down the
sides of her arms until Corbin finally allowed her body to relax and enjoy
Nikki's gentle touch. Corbin let her arms rest at her sides and turned her head
a little more so as to glance up to her friend.
"Why...why
now?" Corbin asked in a whisper.
Nikki
smiled softly and ran her fingers through Corbin's hair with one hand, "I
want to" Was all Nikki could say.
Corbin
felt Nikki calmly shift down to the back of her thighs, moving her hands down
the blonde's back. Slowly, Nikki ran her fingers down Corbin's back and then up
her sides. Corbin cringed, trying not to giggle as she massaged her skin and
felt Goosebumps form near her neck as Nikki lowered herself near her
friend’s ear to speak. Corbin was totally red again and began to sweat as
Nikki began to lightly blow on her neck and shoulders with cool breath.
"Oh...
god." Corbin sighed as the chilling sensation shot through Corbin's body
all the way to the tips of her fingers and toes. Nikki's body grew warmer
against the back of her thighs, just as Corbin felt the first sparks of arousal
sprouting between her own legs, which rested together.
"I
meant it when I said you were stunning, Corbin." Nikki whispered in her
ear, and it seemed to echo over and over. Corbin felt her heart pounding
against the sheets of the bed as her breasts pushed up against them. Her eyes
widened as Nikki moved herself lower down her legs until she sat at the back of
her knees, Corbin felt a warm slick of sweat from where their bare legs pressed
against one another, just as Corbin's pussy was beginning to pulse with genuine
arousal.
"We
have to... stop. Nikki..." Corbin pronounced, barely voicing the words.
"Are
you sure?" Nikki paused, studying the right side of Corbin's face and
watched as Corbin closed her eyes, pinching them tight with anxiety. Corbin
laid there, feeling the cool, cotton sheet against her left cheek as she
wrestled with doubts...'What about Dale?' Corbin thought as if flirting with
Nikki was betraying him in some way...'Who the fuck am I kidding...he would
probably ask to watch'.
"I...it's..."
Corbin blinked suddenly as she felt Nikki pull her hands from her shoulders,
"...I don't know, but I guess it's okay to keep going..." Corbin
sighed and let her body relax. Before Corbin could take a breath, she felt
Nikki's lips gently touch her neck with a kiss, then another, and another until
Corbin felt a wet spot beginning to form in the lining of her panties, her
juices were definitely beginning to flow.
“Turn
over” Nikki whispered into Corbin’s ear canal and raised her butt
up allowing the girl to roll over, which Corbin did willingly.
"I've
never felt this way towards another woman before" Nikki said when Corbin
finished shifting under her and looked up.
"Me
neither" Corbin sighed as her voice cracked with emotion and watched a
tear spill over Nikki's right eyelid. “Oh Nik” Corbin sighed and
her left hand came up to sweep away the single tear, 'So fucking hot in here'
Corbin thought as she closed her eyes, when she opened her eyes Nikki was
directly above her, smiling softly and dripping with her own perspiration.
"Yes"
Corbin said, relying on instinct rather than her judgment. Nikki didn't even
ask her a question, Corbin just felt the word leave her mouth and Nikki leaned
away for a second reaching for her own t-shirt. With a slow, smooth motion
Nikki pulled up and she was now naked from the waist up, the same as her blonde
friend below her. Corbin lay looking up at Nikki's gloriously round breasts
that swayed ever so slightly. Nikki slowly lowered her face towards Corbin as
their breaths hit each other's faces, a soft purr went out from their throats
as the kiss sent waves of pleasure coursing through Corbin's entire body in one
instant. After a moment, Nikki lifted her head slightly, still staring directly
into Corbin's eyes just as Corbin did into hers. Drops of perspiration fell from
her cheek onto Corbin's face, adding to the already glazed look of their skin
from the intense heat. Without another word Nikki brought her lips towards
Corbin's once more, this time the kiss lasted longer as their hair tangled
together, damp from the humidity and when they finally parted a thick string of
saliva connected their lips as Nikki raised her head.
"...Unbelievable,"
Corbin whispered.
It
seemed to Nikki as if both of them had fallen into an abyss of lust, heat, and
desire. Their bodies glistened with sweat and the sheets gradually became more
and more wet beneath them and for the most part they had barely even moved.
"I...don't
know what to say or do..." Corbin whispered, letting herself tremble
openly now, before it was just some innocent fondling and kissing, but now it
seemed Nikki wanted to go further...all the way.
"I'm
scared too" Nikki replied as her hands roamed over Corbin’s arms,
feeling the film of perspiration
under her finger tips, until she found Corbin's face. It was a relief to see
Corbin becoming receptive because never before had her nerves felt so raw from
an experience, every part of her body felt sensually alive...sexually intense.
Both women were also aware of their nipples, hard and long, coerced to their
full length beyond anything either had ever felt. Nikki ran her hands down
along Corbin's arms until she found her friends fingers and both girl's allowed
their fingers to caress over one another before finally interlocking once again
as their forearm muscles tightened. Corbin then felt Nikki flex the muscles in
her arms and for once Corbin decided to showoff as a smile crept over the
blonde’s lips. Nikki understood the mischievous intent behind
‘that’ smile as she felt Corbin flex her arms in return, it was in
fact a turn on to feel both of their bodies become tense and flex. Soft moans
started to give way to sensual grunts, eliciting a deep calling between both
women as they struggled to fend off and at the same time control the other.
Their bodies young, resilient, and strong locked in what felt more like a
sexually erotic struggle, which seemed to grow more intense with every passing
second. Nikki wasn't surprised she had gotten so aroused wrestling with Corbin
earlier, and that was fully clothed, but now she lay opposite her dearest
friend, partially naked and feeling a rush of sexual animal lust for Corbin she
could not have imagined. Their flexing muscles seemed to only add fuel to her
fire as arms now moved out and up as they both felt connected as one thru the
palms of their quivering hands. The added smell of sweat combined with their
soft groans assaulted their senses to new levels of sexual desire as they each
ached to control the other before their impending embrace. Corbin’s sweat
coated amble breasts stood out proudly from her strong chest, quivering
directly under those of Nikki's as they continued their struggle. Corbin moaned
and then called into play several cords of muscle lining her back and
shoulders, causing Nikki to let out a groan that sounded both sexual and
desperate as her arms were forced down towards her side. The black haired girl
was not only using all her strength, but her weight as well, ‘The
advantage of being on top might surely give some extra advantage’ she
thought. However Corbin couldn't help but smile at Nikki's dilemma...and
obvious arousal on both of their parts, but mostly smiling to the look of
surprise on Nikki’s face.
Nikki
leaned down, pouring everything she had into pinning Corbin’s arms down
to the bed, but Corbin suddenly gasped and not from their test of strength, but
from where her aching nipples grazed against Nikki’s. The erotic,
electric touch of their nipples was only a momentary distraction as Nikki felt
her biceps give out, Corbin had just pinned her arms down against her body with
such sudden ease and force that perhaps she had been holding back all along.
Nikki simply shook her head in disbelief and closed her eyes, trying to catch
her breath and slowly relax; “I knew you were strong…but
damn” Nikki moaned as she felt Corbin guide her down into a more friendly
embrace, while still holding Nikki’s arms imprisoned at her side.
"You
win…" Nikki sighed with a smile, almost that of a whisper,
“…again” and it suddenly dawned on her, that she didn’t
mind admitting she was beaten.
Corbin's hazel eyes
glanced down and she was awestruck, seeing with her own eyes for the first time
her breasts pressing into another woman's, not just some woman, ‘but my
dear friend’. Nikki took a deep drink of air and moaned at the sensation
of their nipples making firm impressions into the other’s aureoles. Nikki
watched Corbin's eyelids droop as they mutually enjoyed the feeling, gently and
delicately, they moved their shoulders to more clearly feel and see the shaft
of their nipples rubbing along the length of the others, leaving only an eighth
of an inch separating their bountiful smooth breasts at times. Their nipples
stayed erect, in part to the subtle shifts that seemed to stimulate them just
enough sending that familiar warmth between their legs. Corbin knew that her
pussy was now feeling every tingle that her nipples were sending throughout her
body while Nikki’s own vagina felt it too. She was disturbed to realize
how uninhibited she was acting because of how horny she had become. Lips tenderly moved up and over, nuzzling as they continued
to feel their soft mounds massage into one another, but Nikki’s mind had
totally slipped into oblivion as she began to move her torso in small slow
circles, letting her smaller breasts roam freely over Corbin’s two
mounds. However, their brushing lips could not resist the temptation as open
mouths slowly started to move against one another until their kiss was moving
at a feverish pace as if born out of absolute lust, beyond anything Corbin had
ever experienced before with anyone else. Nikki's tongue slid into her mouth,
her eyes widened as a small stream of saliva formed at the edge of their kiss,
running down her cheek slowly. Corbin held her breath for nearly a minute until
they finally parted.
"You're beautiful"
Corbin sighed and slowly raised her head off the pillow below. Nikki smiled her
appreciation as she took a slow deep breath of air, her back arched and Corbin felt both of her aureoles and
nipples becoming engulfed and ultimately disappeared as Nikki pressed her
breasts against hers. Corbin groaned with pleasure as her engorged nipples felt
every bit of the additional pressure.
“You are the
beautiful one” Nikki kindly replied. While Nikki could no longer see what
was happening between their chests her nipples sure as hell felt it. This was
the most erotic moment Nikki had ever experienced, until a word…a simple
word was uttered that unnerved Nikki.
“Wait” said
Corbin and her body tensed, her hands gripped Nikki’s biceps causing the
raven haired girl to tilt her head back with concern.
Corbin stuttered,
“…I want to, but…Nikki…” Corbin’s voice
began to crack with emotion and Nikki scrambled to pick up the pieces and tried
to calm the situation.
“Shhhh…shhhhh…It’s
okay” Nikki whispered and pulled Corbin close to her, cradling her head
onto her bare shoulder and almost panicked herself when Corbin began to sob
…like openly weep as Nikki felt Corbin’s muscular, strong shoulders
heave a couple of times.
“I’m
sorry” Corbin sobbed, “I know I’ve ruined the moment, but
I’m just too nervous Nikki” Corbin babbled her apologies even
though Nikki kept trying to calm her and reassure her that nothing was wrong in
being scared or nervous. Truth was Nikki was a little relieved, she was scared
too never having been with another woman and putting the moves on her friend
like she just did was gambling with their entire friendship.
“You
can tell me anything you know that” Nikki whispered and kissed her
forehead.
Corbin moaned and tried to control her fear as she contemplated
her anxieties…’I’ve kissed a few guys and Dale is the first
one I’ve allowed to ever to fondle me, even when I slept over I’ve
always had strict ground rules about how he could hold me…’I want
to wait till marriage’ She had always told herself. ‘And
now…’ Corbin thought, ‘…you’re letting your best
friend feel your body.
Taking
control again, Nikki decided on a safe course of action, “Turn back over
so I can finish” Nikki smiled, but was dying inside, she wanted to make
love to Corbin so bad, but she took that comment from Corbin to be a
warning…a sign that maybe she wasn’t ready…’am I really
ready?’ Nikki wondered.
“Thanks
Nik” Corbin sighed and rolled over, a smile forming over her lips as she
felt Nikki kiss her cheek and slowly massage her finger tips into her back.
“You
have the gut instinct to go far if you wanted to train, you learn fast”
Nikki’s hand gripped Corbin’s shoulder a little tighter to emphasis
her point. “And god knows, you’re the strongest girl I have ever
seen…stronger than allot of guys…” Nikki whispered into her
friend’s ear.
“Thank
you” Corbin sighed although she wasn’t sure how that made her feel,
it wasn’t like a goal Corbin had ever set out to achieve, but she simply
took the compliment in stride and tried to relax.
“Corbin
listen to me…” Nikki leaned in close now, as if she could guide her
very words into her friend’s subconscious and plant some seeds of
inspiration. “A little more skill and you’ll be unbeatable.”
Nikki hated to admit that, that she had found someone that had more of an
aptitude for the sport then she did, but there was no denying it…not
after today…Corbin was stronger, faster, and quicker then Nikki ever was
or is.
“Are
you telling me all of this because you think Mora is going to be a problem
soon?” Corbin asked suspiciously.
“I’m
telling you now, Mora WILL be a problem, it’s only a matter of time and I
am sure you can take care of yourself, but please consider what I’m
saying, a little extra knowledge can’t hurt…it can only help”
Nikki smiled.
“Okay…I’ll
think about it” Corbin sighed.
~~~~~~~~
“How
could you?” Mora whimpered as her eyes once again filled with tears; no
rage…no anger…a nauseous pit opened up in her stomach, as she felt
consumed by sadness.
“It’s
just a change-up Mora, it happens, don’t read too much into
it…” The coach said, “…besides, you need the break,
and…”
“But
why her!” Mora snapped, her lower lip trembling with a mix of anger and
frustration.
“Mora…what
have you got against Corbin?” The Coach asked, but got nothing, the girl
sat just staring at her. “Look, your arm…”
“IS
FINE!” Mora snapped.
“You
want to reconsider that tone?!” The Coach leaned across her desk, jabbing
her pen towards Mora’s face.
“Sorry”
Mora whimpered and slumped in her chair, breaking down into a full-blown sob.
“You’ve
been unfocused, irritable, hostile to several of the teammates, and you can
bullshit me all day about your shoulder and arm but I see how you move,
it’s bothering you. So that’s my decision, if you don’t like
it, tough shit. You’re permanently replaceable if you keep giving me a
fucking attitude, everyone on this team is.”
The coach
sat back in her chair and listened as Mora stormed out, she was understandably
upset. But this was a two factor plan of attack, ‘One to whip Mora back
into line…’ the Coach considered, ‘…and two, to see if
Corbin will rise to the challenge, she believed that Corbin had the ability and
drive, but did she have what it took psychologically, emotionally?’ the
Coach wondered. She wanted Corbin to stick up for herself more…
Mora might
very well go on the war patch against Corbin now, more then ever before, but
team dynamics like this sometimes need to play out she considered.
~~~~~~~
They never
even heard the key enter the lock;
“What
the fuck!”
Nikki
slowly sat up and moved her hands down Corbin’s back, until she lazily
pulled them away to finally rest upon her hips, all the while Sharon stood
there in disbelief at what she was seeing. Nikki was relishing in the moment
and leaned back, her perfect breasts sticking out from her chest as she
remained straddling Corbin’s thighs.
“
“We’re
still roommates…REMEMBER!”
“Okay…okay...but
CLOSE the DAMN DOOR!” Corbin snapped as she hunched her back, but no one
could see anything anyway, she was just being paranoid.
“Oh…sorry…”
“I’m
giving Corbin a massage” Nikki proudly waved her left hand over
Corbin’s back as Corbin buried her face into the pillow, feeling
embarrassed as if she was caught red handed doing something bad.
“No
shit, I can see that, why is your shirt off?”
Nikki’s
left hand slowly roamed over Corbin’s flexing back muscles, almost
possessively, knowing it would taunt
“Thanks
Nik” Corbin mumbled as she quickly sat up and slipped her arms into her
own bra and put her shirt on.
“What’s
going on
“Hello?...Earth
to
“I
just came by to see you” and
Nikki never
flinched but studied this super bitch in front of her and wondered how Corbin
could call this girl a friend.
“We
need to talk” Sharon said as she pulled away and putting on her best
pouting expression, gripping both of Corbin’s hands, trying to get all of
Corbin’s attention away from Nikki.
“About?”
Corbin looked up warily.
“About
something in private” She raised her eyebrows and gave a quick nod in
Nikki’s direction.
“Well…”
Corbin stuttered and looked at Nikki and then at
“It’s
okay Corbin, I need to run home and change properly” She smiled and her
left hand came up and gripped Corbin’s right shoulder.
“Wait
a second…” Corbin followed Nikki out into the hallway,
“…be right back…” Corbin looked back over her shoulder
at Sharon who was standing there tapping her foot impatiently.
“Nikki”
Corbin whispered and Nikki spun around with a faint smile, “Call me
okay” and reached to hug her friend. Nikki leaned in and pressed her lips
against Corbin’s cheek, “I’ll call you” she reassured
Corbin.
“What’s
wrong?” Corbin asked as she watched Nikki turn away.
“I’m
sorry Corbin, but she doesn’t like me” Nikki shrugged and paused in
the hallway while taking a step back.
“Phuuullleeeaseeee”
Corbin whispered and leaned forward with a look of desperation, “Just
try…I’ll talk to
“Corbin”
Nikki just shook her head in despair, “It won’t do any good”
and turned away to walk down the hall.
“What
the fuck?” Corbin moaned running her hands thru her hair, totally freaked
out at what just happened, but bolted back to her room upon hearing her cell
phone ring.
“Hello?
Oh HEY Dale!”
“Give
me that!” Corbin snapped and yanked the phone from
“Sorry
about that…
“I
know…I’m sorry…I was going to call you back…I
know…uhm…I just…homework and soccer…” Corbin
paced back and forth, “no…not 24hrs a day!”
“Two
days? It’s been two days? No I don’t…maybe your
right…tonight? Shit Dale…” Corbin paced a little quicker now
as Dale grilled her with questions about her lack of involvement in their
relationship over the past week, in particular how she had never returned any
of his calls over the past two days. It freaked Corbin out to think she was so
badly neglecting her boyfriend; “Okay…okay…” Corbin
slumped her shoulders forward, “…miss you too” Corbin sighed
and slowly closed the display on her cell phone before tossing the object aside
where it proceeded to bounce a couple of times on top of her bed.
“Trouble
in paradise?”
“What
“
He’s coming over in a few minutes…AND get your feet off my desk
please!” Corbin sighed.
“Sorry”
“I
can’t believe I forgot to call him back yesterday…and the day
before…shit…” Corbin’s left hand flew up and massaged
her neck muscles. “What did you want to talk about?” Corbin paused
and then glanced over at
“Oh,
I just wanted to catch up a little”
“You
had me ask Nikki to leave because you wanted to chit-chat
“Why
are you so angry?”
“Corbin
I don’t mean to pry, but that looked really…look…I’ll
get right to the point, what the hell was THAT all about!”
“Giving
me a massage
“Hey,
why are you getting so defensive and upset, it was just an observation”
Corbin
abruptly stopped pacing in small circles and squared her shoulders up with
“Oh…ME!
It’s me with the problem?”
“Stop
trying to twist things around” Corbin fumed.
“Great,
now I’m twisting things around,” Sharon threw her hands in the air
and walked around to Corbin’s left, “Would you like a list of what
I see going on?”
“Yeah,
this ought to be good…I want to hear your list” Corbin smirked and
looked to her left.
“One,
I see you spending more time with Nikki and less time with Dale…evident
in the phone conversation just a minute ago. Two, I see you spending more time
with Nikki and less time with me…”
“Wait
right there Ms. Social-Sorority-Queen…” Corbin made a pained
expression.
“Do I
get to finish? Or am I going to get interrupted! And I have tried…true
not as much as I should, but I have been looking you up, but the last couple
times you were heading out with Nikki…or doing this with Nikki…or
‘Nikki and I have plans already Sharon!’”
“Bullshit
“Simple,
stupid social stuff…that’s all I do…but Nikki is devious
Corbin…and don’t roll your eyes at me I hate that,”
“You’re
reading way too much into this
“She
wants you Corbin…”
“What?”
Corbin stiffened and leaned back, almost totally pulling away from
“Okay,
maybe I am wrong,” Sharon’s voice became soft as she lowered her
head some, putting on her best act of self doubt and concern for her friend,
trying to maintain an innocent air to her accusations, “but you’ve
had girl’s flirt with you before Corbin, and I believe Nikki is seriously
interested in you…more then friends…and it’s messing with
your head, that’s all just my opinion and I’m sorry if it hurts
you.”
“I
just wish you two got along, you don’t even know her that well”
Corbin sighed and hugged
“Maybe
I don’t know here, but I know that I have felt a wedge coming between
us…”
“You’ve
helped drive that wedge between us” Corbin quickly interjected and pulled
her head away, she wasn’t going to let
“ME?”
“Dale”
Corbin
rolled her eyes and pulled the door open, waiving her left hand for him to
enter, “Come on in”.
“Hey
“No”…”Yes”…”No”…
The answers came and changed and came again from both girls that Dale
didn’t know who was agreeing or disagreeing or changing their mind.
“We
were talking about what a great influence Nikki has been on Corbin,
weren’t we?” Sharon smirked and licked her bottom lip watching as
Corbin sweat it out, she knew Corbin hated it when conflict got out in the
open.
“
“Well,
I guess I have to go now even though this is still partly my dorm room, in any
case always nice to see you again Dale,” Sharon forced a smile and patted
him on his left shoulder as she walked out, not able to restrain her natural
flirtyness. “Oh…” Sharon paused right before slipping thru
the doorway, “…I know you two have some catching up to do and I
know Dale you’ve been upset over time away from Corbin, but she’s
apparently found time for dear ol’
Nikki.”
“What’s
your problem
“What
is she talking about?” Dale looked on baffled.
“Ask
about how she spent all day with Nikki”
“Good
bye
