"You're not gonna let this go, are you?"
"I'll try. It really turns me on to think about it, is all. Oh, and on a different note, I can't see you at all tomorrow night. I really do have to study for that marketing test on Friday. You probably do too."
"Yes, unfortunately. That means you can't see me - at all?" I asked.
"Tyler, I can't think about anything when I'm around you except… . getting you naked… . and… . " Her voice trailed off. "It's not so bad when we're in a group, like earlier today at the Cellar. But alone… no."
"You're right. It's hard. Like, literally, I get hard around you instantly. It almost happened today with everyone around." I stopped to take a deep breath. "It happened yesterday at the coffee shop."
"Oh really? But we were actually studying then."
"Yes. And I learned a lot. But I was really distracted. You were so lovely sitting there… . you're lovely sitting here beside me right now. I wish I could have your body all to myself for weeks or months, or maybe years."
I said more than I meant to say.
"Tyler, I wish we take a month and go to a deserted island or somewhere and get this whole thing out of our systems once and for all. I want you so bad." She whined like she was in pain.
"Did you read my mind?" Maybe that was her big secret. She's a fortune teller and she can predict winning lottery numbers, and that’s why she’s rich. "I had the same thought yesterday about getting you on a deserted island."
"Really? Deserted island?"
"Yes!" I looked at her for a second, my eyes wide with surprise.
"Wow. I guess we really think alike," she said.
Not alike enough, Otherwise I'd have a claim on you as your boyfriend.
"Okay, it's 9:45. How much time does that give me before you kick me out tonight?" I asked.
“Well, it's up to you, but you can sleep over if you want. You can take a shower at my house and stuff, but you might want to go home if you need a change of clothes. I can't help you with that."
I was thrilled she'd suggested me sleeping over. I couldn’t wait find out what it was like to wake up beside her in the morning.
I drove to her house quickly. We made out in her car in the garage before migrating to the bedroom. After another long round of passionate love making - as I liked to think of it - we talked and cuddled until we both fell asleep. We woke up the next morning at 7:30. Early enough to fuck in the shower - killing two birds with one stone, we joked - and to share the leftover pancakes from the night before. Nobody seemed to notice I was wearing the same clothes for two days. My roommates didn't even realize I had disappeared for the night.
Waking up next to that beautiful woman was even better than I’d imagined. I held her for a long time before we made our way to the shower. I knew I was getting too attached but I decided she would be mine, somehow. Secret or no secret… her excuses were no match for my determination.
Saturday felt like years away. I planned to pass the time by doing two things: studying for the marketing test, and figuring out how to get Susanna Lombardi to fall in love with me.

Safe With Me, Part 1 (2010) Tyler Campbell falls hard and fast for Susie Lombardi, a curvy, quirky blonde he meets at a coffee shop.
After several disastrous, high-drama attempts at casual hook-ups in his past, he's surprised by his desire to go back to her place. He soon realizes he may not be as happily single as he thought when he finds himself thinking of her as a serious love interest.
