Rock music pulsed loudly throughout the house; beer was flowing freely and there were couples making out in every corner. No one noticed as Caleb and Amanda slipped upstairs, locking themselves in the bathroom. He pushed her up against the cold tile wall, his hands sliding underneath her skirt as his lips traveled from her mouth down to her neck. She tried to push him away, but she was weak. It felt so good to have his hands upon her skin and his mouth hungry for hers. He was almost what she wanted. She thought about Michael and guilt overwhelmed her.

Look, I don't think this is a very good idea. We better get back to the party...Michael will be looking for... Caleb's mouth pre-empted her protest; he was sucking on her bottom lip. How did he know that drove her crazy?

Caleb, no! she pushed him back. She wanted him... badly, but Michael was just downstairs, along with dozens of other people. It was the first college party of the year.

Alright, alright jeez... but you do like that don't you? Don't deny it Amanda; I can see it in your eyes. Michael likes that too. He nodded his head. What's with you guys? He smiled with that wicked sideways grin he used when he wanted to get her to do things. She was determined not to let it work now. She scoffed at him.

"Nothing is with us. You haven't been talking about me with him have you?" Amanda straightened her clothes as Caleb buttoned his blue checked shirt and tucked the front of it back into his skinny jeans, his blond hair falling over one eye seductively.

"No, why would I talk about you? Michael and I have much better things to do when we're together. We don't have time to talk." He brushed his hair back from his face. He still looked immaculate.

Mmm hmmm. I'm sure. Amanda reapplied her lip gloss and tightened her long ponytail. The dark tendrils around her face were damp. Caleb always made her sweat.

Well, just don't mention me at all. I don't think he'd like us spending time alone together, I mean... certainly not like this. And you know technically you are cheating on him.
