Wonderland

"One thing I've left to do
Discover me
Discovering you"


James bent his head down and jogged between his dormitory and Gillian's. He lived in the only all male residence and she lived in one of the four co-ed residences on the university campus. The residence area of campus was over one hundred years old. The exterior of the buildings were stately with columns and brick facade, but the interior was more institutional. Students from past generations had livened up the dreary dorms with murals and posters, mostly depicting pop culture from the 1950's to the 80's.

Pushing open the outside door, James met one of the other residents coming out of the building. "This is convenient," James thought, "Now I dont have to buzz up to her room to be let in".

He stepped through the inside door and slipped into the stair well.

Gillian's room was on the top floor and, because she was a senior, she had been allowed to select which kind of room she wanted. She had picked a single occupancy on the west side of the building. The room overlooked the lake, which was the center of the university campus. Gillian had decorated the room in warmy, feminine shades of pink, as well as off white and silver.

James loved the way she had creatively used a long opaque curtain to section the room off into a working space and a sleeping area. Even tho Gillian wasnt living with anyone else, and did not have to worry about having anyone walk in unexpectedly, James appreciated having a secluded space where the two of them could spend time alone together.

Knocking softly on the door, James heard a bang and then Gillian curse under her breath. The door opened and she cocked an eyebrow at him.

"What did you do?" he asked, still standing outside the room.

Gillian smiled, "oh nothing, just tipped over a stack of books."

Opening the door wider, Gillian turned and let James follow her into the room.

"You just need to give me a few minutes, I'm not changed yet." Gillian continued.

"But you look fine!" James laughed at his girlfriend. She was always changing her mind about what to wear, but it didnt matter most of the time because she was naturally beautiful and looked amazing in just about anything.

Gillian stepped behind the curtain where both her closet and bed were. James sat down on the edge of her desk, and straightened the text books she had tipped over. He could hear Gillian rustling through the closet and decided to surprise her. James got up from the desk and moved to the edge of the curtain, lifting it back just enough so that he could see what was behind.

Gillian was standing at the closet, with her back to him. Her long chocolate brown waves cascaded over her back, practically hiding all of her black bra, and almost reaching to the hot pink waist of her bikini style panties. The muscles in her calves rippled slightly as she reached up to pull a sweater down from the top shelf.

Seeing that she was otherwise engaged, James slipped past the curtain, quickly placing his cold hands on Gillian's slim waist and bending his 6'5" frame to press a kiss on her exposed shoulder.

Gillian stiffened, at his cold touch, for an instant and then relaxed.

"I missed you." James murmered against her smooth skin.

Gillian smiled, "I missed you too babe."

She turned in his arms and placed a gentle kiss against his lips.

"Thats all I get? After not seeing you for nearly a week?" James pouted and pulled her closer.

The cold of his varsity letter jacket made Gillian shudder, but her goosebumps quickly disappeared when she felt James' hot breath on her neck.

He peppered kisses on her neck and collar bone, licking and nipping at the skin until Gillian sighed into his chest.

She pulled away from him, saying "Come on babe, I'm hungry. Let's get some breakfast ok?"

James nodded and returned to the other side of the curtain.


When Gillian was finished dressing, she pushed the curtain aside and grabbed her jacket from the desk chair.

Pulling on her favorite pair of rainbow knit mittens, she took James' hand and stretched up to kiss him lightly.

"Ready to go now, then?" He asked.

"Of course." Gillian smiled and allowed James to lead the way out, only pausing to lock the door behind them.

The five minute walk to the downtown area of the city seemed to take longer then usual. Gillian and James enjoyed the light snowfall, and the crisp early morning air. They playfully threw snowballs at one another and James picked Gillian up 'princess' style when she slipped on a patch of ice and fell. By the time they reached their favorite restaurant, Eggspectations, Gillian's cheeks were flushed and James was laughing out loud.

The couple were given their usual two seater booth in the back of the restaurant. It was a quiet morning for business so Gillian and James were served quickly.

Mulling over her pancakes with strawberries and whip cream, Gillian ran her foot up the inside of James' leg. He laughed, but did not look up from his menu.

"I dont want anything to eat." He proclaimed, sitting up right in his seat.

Gillian laughed and twirled her fork in the whip cream. "Took you long enough. Mine is already half gone!" She teased.

James grinned, "Yeah, well you just eat fast."

Gillian scooped some whip cream onto her fork and lifted the utensil to her lips. Catching and holding James' gaze, she skillfully used her tongue to sweep all the white cream into her mouth.

James raised his eyebrows, the smile quickly disappearing from his face.

Snapping back to her playful nature, Gillian dropped the fork. "I'm finished. Lets go back to campus, ok?"

James nodded silently, took his wallet out and left a twenty on the table for the waiter. He followed Gillian out the door and watched her prance down the street, kicking up snow as she went along.
