Chapter Text
Obsessed is a strong word.
Christen preferred crush. I mean. LOOK at Tobin. How could she not have a little bit of limerence toward her.
So from time to time when christen would linger the extra second, or when she would tilt her head slightly and stair into Tobin's eyes, Julie would be sure to call her out on it.
"She's straight, You know that Chris. I'm just worried this little obsession you have is going to end up hurting you. "
" I don't have an obsession. Don't be dramatic. Everyone gets to have a little straight girl crush once in a while"
Julie usually just shook her head and tried to ignore the Googley eyes christen was giving Tobin.
But last night was different. Christen knew it and so did Julie.
Julie invited Chris and some other friends from the team out for a Bon fire on the beach. Which, she failed to mention, had been mixed in with a frat group.
Of course Tobin was there
'Jesus fuck of course she's here looking like that' christen thinks as Tobin arrives in the bed of some friends pick up truck. Tobin's wearing black jeans with holes in the knee and thighs. With a white v neck that she pulls off way to well for it to be considered fair.
Tobin had walked up to the group and slung her arm around christen's shoulder.
'She's straight Chris. Don't push her. Don't lose your friend.'
As soon as this thought grazed her mind christen was being handed a red solo cup and was toasting with Tobin to a successful season.
After two more gulps christen was ready to dance. She always did get a little more handsy when she drank vodka.
"Dance with me Toby?”
Tobin smiled unfairly bright up at her and grabbed her hand and they headed to the small group of people dancing.
They started out facing eachother. A good foot of distance between them. But when a (admittedly attractive) jock walked up behind Tobin and started whispering things in her ear, christen had had enough. So she stormed away (a bit sassier than usual) and sat down in one of the lawn chairs set up around the huge fire pit.
Realizing that she wasn't nearly drunk enough to think about Tobin and some guy grinding together, christen got up and headed over to the small shack were she had observed alcohol coming from.
She walked inside the admittedly well kept mini bar that seemed fully stocked and started reading all the different labels that lined the wall.
The door swung open behind her and she jumped just a little.
The stranger behind her was beautiful. Christen thought anyone with eyes could see that.
The stranger had brown eyes too. But unlike Tobin's they weren't soft. But they also weren't hard.
As the girls lip lifted slightly into a smirk on the left side christen decided that her eyes were filled with something much more fun.
Mischief.
Christen suddenly became very aware that the stranger is staring right back. Both of them just standing there. Examining eachother.
But for some reason she doesn't seem threatening. Her light pink lips still pulled up into a loose smirk. Her hair long brown waves that Christen can barely see, past her backwards SnapBack. She has freckles that dance across her perfect nose and cheekbones. Christens eyes slowely lower and examine her tank that shows off her toned arms. She's wearing board shorts so it's obvious she's a surfer.
Christen can feel the girl's gaze on her face again and she looks up to be met with an even bigger smirk. This time her eyes crinkle slightly and the mischief is so bright in her eyes it brings a small smile to Christen's lips.
She tilts her head slightly to the left, still obviously, unashamedly staring at Chisten's lightly clothed figure.
Then. As if she had done the math in her head and decided what Christen's planes for the rest of the night would be, she steps forward.
Within the small shack(by now Christen is calling it a bar) she's only about a foot away.
"Impressive isn't it"
At first Chris has no idea what she was talking about. Then she start to wonder if this stranger is talking about herself. 'Oh god. Another arrogant surfer chick who thinks she's the center of the world.'
She squints her eyes a little. And if Christen didn't know better she would swear the girl was looking straight into her mind.
Then she leans her head forward a little and practically whispers
"The alcohol I mean. This stash. The guy who owns the small restaurant down there keeps it fully stalked. Says the college students on the beach are better for business than they are in his place."
The stranger stared into Christen's eyes now as if she had just won some game they were playing. The smirk on her face strong, but different. Now she smiled but she smiled at the ground as if she were remembering an old memory.
Then she bites her bottom lip and Christen gets a glance at her prefect key white teeth. She slowely raises her head and the two are now eye level. Her smirk still evident under her bitten lip and the crinkle in her eyes still happy.
"I'm Kelley"
'She's cocky.' But there's something else there so Christen entertains the conversation.
"Christen" she answers with a nod of her head and a small smile.
Then she surprises you with her boldness. She takes another step forward so that there's only a few inches in between their faces.
"Well christen... I'm surprised I haven't seen you around before"
She stumbles over her words at her close proximity. Then, slowly, Christen regains her head and answers her. Matching her smirk
"I'm surprised too. I definitely would have remembered you"
Now it's Kelleys turn to stumble over her words. But she doesn't. As if skipping her turn in the card game she just maintains eye contact and lowers her gaze on Christen. Her brown eyes taking on a new shade of dark that Christen thinks she could get used too. They're dangerous. Risky. Mischievous.
Kelley puts one hand on Christen’s shoulder and slowly slides it to the right so that her hand if partially touching her neck.
Christen gulps. Almost audibly. But the girl seems to almost feed on her desire because she speaks. Teasing her.
"Is this okay... Christen?"
Her smirk has only grown. Your eyes start to hood over as her other hand snakes to your side.
You realize you haven't answered the question and you criticize yourself for not having more control.
So you put both hands over her shoulders. Hands resting in the air behind her. And your whisper in her ear as you move closer,
"This.. -
You place a small fleeting kiss just under her ear, and you pause for only a second to make sure Kelley could feel your breathe on her neck
- this is perfect"
You finish satisfied as Kelley had closed her eyes and clenched her jaw.
You then take a step back. Remove your arms from her and quickly walk past her toward the exit.
You get into the sand again and realize you left without returning with what you came for. So you open the door to reveal a shocked looking Kelley, grab the nearest bottle and shuffle back out the door. But not before shooting Kelley the cockiest grin you can muster up.
The door is closed for maybe a second before the girl named Kelley comes bounding out of the shack/bar and is quickly walking up behind you.
You smile slightly when she starts walking next to you as if you are old friends.
But then, right when your about to enter the mosh pit of people, she stops you. Grabs your wrist gently but with purpose. Your other hand still holding what you had discovered to be tequila.
She stands in front of you. Demanding your attention on her.
"That wasn't very nice"
She whispers seductively in your ear
"Well, you were distracting me"
"Do you find me distracting christen?"
Each time she says your name you swear you get a little more turned on.
So, still trying to gain control in the game, you gently move your head back so she's facing you. You pull of her SnapBack and place it backwards on your head.
"Why don't you go find us a seat so you can distract me some more"
To say your proud of yourself would be an understatement. So Kelley holds your wrist and leads you to one of the chairs around the bonfire. She pulls it back only slightly.
You take a large swig of the tequila in your hand. Just to ensure you don't chicken out.
You gently push Kelley onto the chair and it sinks slightly into the sand. She smirks up at you as you carefully place a knee on the outside of each of hers. You carefully set the bottle in the sand next to you and lower yourself down on Her lap.
She seems pleased and looks up at you and slightly readjusts her SnapBack on your head. You return her smirk and move all of your hair to the right side of your shoulder and lean down until your faces are only inches apart.
"Your very beautiful, did you know that christen?"
Something about the smirk on her face combined with the shine of her eyes and you just can't help yourself, so you lick your lips just a little.
"And you're very distracting, did you know that Kelley?"
With that she places both hands on either side of your hips and her eyes flicker down to your lips. You look into her lust filled eyes once more before moving your full lips to her thin pink ones.
They're soft. As you slowly and surprisingly passionately move your lips in sync. You put your left hand on Kelley's neck and your right travels down to her rib cage.
Kelley runs her tongue against your bottom lip and you inhale sharply and open your mouth. Her tongue is dominant. And you let it be, she controls you in a way you hadn't seen coming.
So to try and make up for ground lost you push your hand on her ribs gently under her shirt and scratch down her stomach
'Holy shit she's ripped' you think as you hear a small moan escape her lips. Her breathing increases and so does yours as your mind wanders to your head between her legs.
Her hands snake down from your hips until they're gently Cupping your ass. Then all at once she roughly squeezes your ass and pushes her tongue deep into your mouth. You moan. Mindful of the people all around you (that are far too drunk to pay attention to you), Kelley swallows your moan and continues massaging your ass.
"Kelley...."
You try to get the strangers attention in between breaths and kisses.
Finally you move both hands to her shoulders and push yourself back slightly.
"Are you okay?.." She asks in between breaths.
The genuine concern in her voice catches you off guard. So you quickly soothe her
"Yea! Yea.. I'm fine it's just... I'm getting.. A little worked up for us to be sitting on the beach"
A large smile, one you hadn't seen before breaks out across her face.
'She has a beautiful smile' you think.
And you weren't really ready for what happens next either.
She picks her SnapBack off your head and puts it back on her own and lifts you into the air while you continue to straddle her. She starts walking back up to where her car is, presumably.
You laugh into her shoulder as she holds onto the back of your thighs to carry you.
"What's so funny"
She asks. A bit of an accent poking out that you hadn't noticed before
"Nothing. I just usually don't do this"
"What's 'this'?"
"Fuck the hot Frat girl I met at the beach party"
Kelley laughs at your bluntness.
"Well I've heard I can be distracting"
Then Every thing went black.
When you start to gain concouseness your vision is a little blurry but you can hear panicked yelling above you. You think it's Kelley. But there's someone else. Someone not a mischievous. Someone very serious. You can tell this. Even in your half concouse state.
You try to sit up but then it's like someone hit you in the head with a hammer right smack in the back of your skull.
Everything is so dark and you can hear Kelleys voice. It's the last thing you remember before things go completely black.
When you wake up your not sure where you are. It's morning. You can tell by the light that is giving you a level 9 headache.
You squint your eyes.
'Shit this is not a hangover. My head. Holy shit'
You try to sit up but there is someone quickly beside you.
"Hey shhhh... Just lay down its okay"
You squint harder trying to make out the figure a foot away from your face.
Then your vision collects and it's the girl from last night. You look down. 'Hmm still have my cloths on"
The girl. Karen.. Kristie.. KELLEY!! Kelley. That's it. Well Kelley must think this is funny because she lets out a chuckle at you making sure your still fully clothed.
"Where am I"
"My dorm"
Kelley says with a sheepish smile that makes you think something happened.
"Did we have sex?!" You ask, and its more of a whisper scream, considering your not sure if she has a roommate, As you literally remember nothing except Kelley carrying you last night.
She chuckles again "not quite. Just stay still okay. You kind of took a blow to the head last night. Just take it easy"
Your eyes pop out of your face.
She looks sorry. Did we crash? Did I fall off the bed or something?
"Kelley.. What happened last night"
"Well umm..."
You've never seen her look this uncertain. Last night everything was calculated. Cool. Calm. Now she's stammering and won't make eye contact with you.
"Kelley."
You sternly try and sit up. You get maybe an inch.
"My.... My ex. Her name is hope.. Um... She was at the bonfire last night. "
"Okay and..."
"Umm. Well she must have seen us because. Well. She kind of hit you. With a glass bottle. On the head."
Your not sure what to say now. Because Kelley is switching between looking at you with these puppy eyes and staring at the floor. But also because who the fuck hits someone with a beer bottle.
"Where's my phone?"
Kelley quickly scrambles from her kneeling position next to the coach and brings you your cell phone.
The light hurts your eyes when You turn it on
"Shit. Kelley you might have to drive me to the ER"
Her eyes widen and then she understands. So You call Julie and let her know about your current predicament. And also that you weren't chopped up into pieces when You didn't return last night. When You end the call You look up and see Kelley just staring at you. She quickly looks away. Nothing like the cocky girl You were with last night in the shack. You hold back a smile slightly. 'She feels bad.' You can see it in the way her eye brows furrow everytime You look in discomfort.
She grabs her keys and starts to walk out the door
"Uhh Kelley?"
She looks over at you struggling to get off the couch and her eyes fill with too many emotions to count. But she runs over and gently puts one hand on my ribcage and the other on your shoulder. Effectively steadying you.
"Thanks" you squeek as she stares at you deep In thought. 'There's something about herShe really cares. It's weird. '
"Umm... You your welcome. There's an elevator. So you don't have to take any stairs. " and with that she is silent, The rest of the drive. She stays the whole ER visit. Then she drives you home. No concusion. THANK GOD. Your sure Kelley might have started crying if You had a head injury because of her crazy girlfriend. Ex girlfriend that is.
You tell her where my dorm is and she drives you there in relative silence.
"Look christen I'm soo sorry. I didn't mean to put you in danger. You deserve-"
You cut her off
You gently lean across the consul in her car and kiss her lips. Gently. Strangely passionately once again. Her lips feel strong. And You melt into them. But then You pull back and slowely make your way to the door. Kelley walks next to you. Protectively.
She starts to apologize once again
"Kel.. Stop"
She looks down with a soft smile.
"Do you wanna get coffee tomorrow. Maybe. I mean if you have plans or-"
"Kelley. Yes I will get coffee with you tomorrow. I don't have any classes after lunch. "
"That's perfect!" She responds.
It felt oddly domestic, the way Kelley is staring at you and your feet seem to be having issues because they certainly are not moving. And it's also very fast. So You decided to make a little joke and whisper in her ear
"Best one night stand ever"
At this she chuckles and says goodbye. You walk inside. Now fully aware and Julie is sitting there on the couch drinking a cup of coffee with Tobin.
'Shit why is she here'
But then You look closer and Tobin is wrapped in a blanket and Julie is holding her, it becomes blatantly obvious what is happening. Tobin is crying.
