The next day was a Saturday and Greg and Hilary watched a movie in the afternoon. Greg ran down the street to the school bookstore to get a few school supplies. Hilary thought she’d tidee up the apartment a little. There were clothes EVERYWHERE! Hanging, thrown on the floor, in the bathroom, you name it they were there. Ironically, there wasn’t a single piece of clothing in the hamper. There was a washing machine in the basement below, so Hilary grabbed a few quarters and a sack of laundry. While emptying the pockets of his jeans, Hilary unfolded the modeling flyer. “Never saw Greg as the modeling type, although he does have the body and the looks,” she laughed to herself. After waiting a while for the clothes, Hilary trudged upstairs to the third floor. Greg was washing dishes in the kitchen and she put her hands around his waist, snuggling her face into his grey t-shirt. He smelled like clean dove soap and clothing detergent. Greg smiled, then took the soapy sponge and rubbed it all over Hilary’s hair. Cracking up with laughter, Hilary took the hose from the sink and sprayed Greg getting back at him. They were play fighting for a little, when Greg lost his footing and slipped in the wet mess on the tile. He reached for Hilary’s hand and ended up bringing her down on top of him. Neither could do anything but laugh. The two looked ridiculous, all soapy and soaked. They were caught in a trance with eye contact locked. Greg leaned in slowly to kiss her irresistible lips, but before he had a chance to kiss her for the first time in weeks, Hilary stopped the moment looking away. “So, I found your flyer your pants,” she started.

“What flyer?” Greg didn’t remember having a flyer.

“For modeling, I didn’t know you were interested in it. That’s pretty cool,” she smiled.

“Uh, it wasn’t for me. I hate having pictures taken,” he understood her misunderstanding.

“Oh. Oh! Did someone just stick it in your pocket while you were walking? I’ve noticed how people do that, and it’s really annoying. I’m cleaning out my purse and all of a sudden I see…”

“Hil, shut up. Ha-ha! It was for you! You have to be the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen, and if you don’t take this chance, I’ll…well I don’t know what I’ll do, but I’ll do something!”

“But I don’t think I could do something like that, I don’t know anything about that business,” she argued.

“When you came here, you took a risk. You were all about trying new things and living a different life. You have an amazing body, a gorgeous face, but your personality is greater. You’ve changed my life by just knowing you, so do something for me, and change yours.” Greg said it with so much meaning and love. But more than that, everything became clear for her at that moment. Greg did everything for her out of love. But he wouldn’t have just done it for her, it’s who he is. He’s such a good person who just wanted to see her happy. And she was going to do anything for him because they were meant to be together. Sucks she just realized this now.

While she took the time to think more, Greg got into the shower. Hilary brushed her hair and smoothed it down. She stripped down and put on warm, dry underwear and crawled into Greg’s big bed. It smelled like him, and Hilary liked that. When he got out of the shower it was about 7 pm. He had the towel tied around his waist. His defined tanned abs flexed when he bent down to open a drawer and get clothes. He felt like someone was watching him, and he looked to his bed and saw Hilary’s admiring eyes on his every move. She looked so cute snuggled in his bed he couldn’t help but quickly put on some boxers and lay down next to her. They lay on their sides just staring into each other’s eyes. Hers were a pale shade of soft blue, his a deep chocolaty brown. She couldn’t bear the silence anymore. The thoughts in her head were screaming and they took over. “Greg, I have never felt the way I do right now ever in my life, and I can’t hold it in any longer. You consume my every thought and I try and try but I can’t see a life without you in it…I love you,” she whispered. Hilary didn’t have to say another word. He kissed her so softly she had to remind herself he did. They got quiet, and Hilary began rubbing Greg’s feet with hers. Her cold toes startled him, but he knew was she was doing. He locked his hands around her waist and brought her in close.

“Hil, you never cease to amaze me, ever…” she giggled cute yet seductively and kissed him like never before. And for the first time in her life, Hilary felt so secure and so safe in Greg’s muscular arms. I don’t have to be afraid anymore, Greg will never let anything happen to me.

“You don’t have to be afraid baby, I’m always going to be here for you. Always.”
