Chapter 2

I know she got it 'cuz she lookin' at me like she want it.

Justin couldn't help but hum along with his iPod as he walked back to his fraternity's house.  He'd finished his classes for the day and just wanted to relax before his chapter meeting that night.  He scaled the stairs two at a time to get to the room he shared with his best friend, Trace.  Justin and Trace were what people called "crib buddies".  They'd been best friends since they were in their mothers' wombs, they went to the same grade schools from Pre-K to 12th grade; so it only seemed fitting that they'd go to the same college.  The fact that they pledged the same fraternity was just a fluke though.  Both of them were legacies for two different fraternities and initially wanted to follow in their fathers' footsteps but changed their minds when it came to rush.  They weren't even in the same rush group and didn't find out that the other had also rushed Sigma Alpha Epsilon until bid day.  It was somewhat a tradition at the school not to reveal your top greek choice, so you don't jinx it.  Well on bid day both Justin and Trace were shocked when they saw each other in SAE's room.  Fast forward to the present day where both guys hold executive positions in their fraternal organization and were roommates.

"What are you smiling about?" Trace asked, tossing a rubber basketball against the ceiling.

"Life's good man, that's all."

"Did you get a quickie between classes or something?"

"Shut up!  No, you know I'm not like that."

"Anymore," Trace replied, throwing the toy ball at his friend.

"Shut the hell up man," Justin said, throwing the ball back at Trace.

"For your information I just had a good day, can I do that?"

"What's her name?"

"How do you know it's a girl?"

"Ok, what's his name?" Trace asked jokingly.

"You know I'm not like that.  Her name is Jaelyn; she's in my history class."

"Is she hot?"

"Ye-- wait, is that the only thing you think about?"

"No, but if she has you gaga like this, she must be."

"She's cute, I guess you could say that."

"So she's hot."

"Yeah, and a sweetheart too.  This guy was flirting a bit too hard with her so I had to step in and pretend to be her boyfriend."

"The whole 'Prince Charming' move huh?"

"That's what she said."

"Hey, great minds think alike," Trace said with a smile.  Justin rolled his eyes at his friend.

"So are you gonna ask her out?"

"Dude, I just found out her name; she may have a boyfriend or something.  She definitely said she had a lunch date to go to after class."

"What girl says she has a 'lunch date' with her boyfriend?  How lame is that?"

"Shut up," Justin responded.

"But seriously, think about it."  Justin was silent as he pondered Trace's comment.

"That is true."

"Yep.  Why don't you look her up on Facebook."

"But I don't know her last name."

"But you know her first name and what school she goes to."  Justin pulled his laptop out of his backpack and booted it up.  He logged onto the popular networking site and searched 'Jaylen' in his school's network...and came back with nothing.

"Is that the way you spell it?"

"I don't know man, she wasn't wearing a name tag," Justin replied with a chuckle.

"Whatever, we need to get ready for chapter anyway.  Shut the shit down and help me find my pin, bitch," Trace said jokingly.

"Shut the hell up!" Justin replied, throwing a pencil at his friend.

Jaelyn logged onto her school Blackboard account to check her grades.  As usual the first class she clicked on was her Criminal Justice class.  After seeing that she had a solid 'B' in there she checked her history grades...she had a 'B' in there as well.  Jaelyn glanced at the sidebar on the screen and saw the 'Tools' link and clicked it.  She clicked the 'Classmates' link and scrolled down the list and saw that she had a total of six "Justin's" in her history class.  She jotted down the different last names and made a mental note to search them on Facebook.  Jaelyn went to the networking website and checked her various notifications before searching for Justin.  It took her five times, but she finally figured out that his last name was "Timberlake".  She added him as a friend and was browsing through his photo albums when she heard a door open and close.  Jaelyn logged out of Facebook and closed her laptop.

"Hey baby, how was your test?" she asked her boyfriend with a smile.  Daniel kissed her forehead sweetly before answering her.

"Long and hard."

"That's what she said," Jaelyn joked.  Daniel laughed.

"You watch way too much of that show.  How was your day?"

"Fine; I'm just happy it's over with.  So, what do you want for dinner?"  Daniel grinned mischievously before replying, "You."

Jaelyn giggled like a school girl when her boyfriend scooped her up in his arms and carried her to their bedroom.  He placed her in the center of their king-sized bed and kissed her lips softly.

"Have I told you lately that I love you?" Daniel whispered against her lips.

"Yes, and stop stealing other people's lines," Jaelyn replied with a smile.  They both chuckled at her comment.

"Come here you," Jaelyn said, grabbing her boyfriend's collar and pulling him on the bed with her.  Daniel settled his lower body between her legs as they began an intimate tongue wrestle.  Jaelyn wrapped her arms around his neck in an effort to eliminate the space between them.  She tried her hardest to hold back the moans that were escaping her throat.  Daniel knew her body like the back of his hand and could play it like a well tuned instrument.

"Ooh," she said almost in a whisper when he kissed that spot below her right ear.  Daniel kissed his way down her jawline, her throat and her collarbone.  He looped two fingers beneath the straps of her spaghetti-strapped top and her bra, slipping them down over her shoulder.  He reached over to the nightstand and grabbed the iPod stereo remote and turned on the system.  Avant's "Making Good Love" began to softly play throughout the room.

"Oh, so you planned this?" Jaelyn asked in a playful moan.

"Maybe I did...maybe I didn't," her boyfriend replied wiggling his eyebrows.  He dipped in and gave her one more quick peck on the lips before he slipped off her other straps and began making love to her breasts with his mouth.  Jaelyn was in ecstasy and Daniel could tell by the sounds of pleasure he was eliciting from her.  He looked up at her face and smiled when he saw her eyes closed and her mouth in the shape of an 'O'.  Beyonce's "Speechless" came on just as he began to kiss his way down her torso...

Jaelyn couldn't sleep and she couldn't figure out why.  She was usually dog-tired after a round with Daniel, but tonight was different.  Tonight she couldn't seem to shut her brain down and go to sleep.  She was tempted to put on some workout clothes and take a jog around the block but decided against that when she saw what time it was.  No woman in her right mind goes running alone around a college campus after midnight!  Thinking that maybe a warm glass of milk would help her sleep, Jaelyn made her way to the kitchen.  She had just placed her mug in the microwave when she noticed that her laptop was still on the coffee table.  She grabbed it and booted it up, deciding that she might as well check Facebook since she was up.  As soon as she logged on she noticed that not only had Justin accepted her friend's request but he had sent her a message. 

Hey, I'm glad you found me on here...I would've added you but I didn't know how to spell your name.  You have a very unique name, by the way.  Oh!  I was wondering if you wouldn't mind helping me study for Newsom's next test?  Those things are a beast and if I don't make at least a 70 on this next one there's no way I can pass his class.  No pressure, lol.

Jaelyn couldn't help but smile as she read the note, and quickly clicked 'Reply' once she was finished it.

Yeah, everyone spells my name J-A-Y-L-E-N or something of that nature.  lol.  And thanks for the compliment! =]  As far as helping you study for the test...NO!  Just kidding!  Of course I'll help you.  I don't have class on Tuesday so just let me know if that's ok with your schedule...and if you have another day that's better for you just let me know. 

• - Jaelyn

She clicked 'Send' and was about to log out of Facebook when she saw a Facebook Chat notification pop up.  Justin was IM-ing her.

Justin: Someone has insomnia.

Jaelyn grinned and quickly replied.

Jaelyn: ...and I don't know.  I'm usually passed out by now.

Justin: it happens to the best of us =]

Jaelyn: it's a good thing I don't have any classes tomorrow or I'd be pissed...lol

Justin: no one likes a bragger...lol

Jaelyn: don't hate!  so what are you doing up so late, Mr. Timberlake?

Justin: i usually don't fall asleep until one...i was just about to shut down my laptop when i got your message.

Jaelyn: yeah, we can study together...just let me know when.

Justin: cool...do you wanna grab lunch on tuesday at the cafe and we can study there? 

Jaelyn pondered his question before typing her answer.

Jaelyn: sure...sounds good to me.

Justin: alright, well my number is 512-867-5309

Jaelyn: are you serious?  like the "jenny" song?

Justin: yeah...don't laugh!

Jaelyn: i already am!  mines is 281-489-4608

Justin: alright, i'll save it in my phone

Jaelyn: okie dokie!  goodnight!

Justin: sweet dreams =]

Jaelyn chuckled as she logged off the networking website and shut down her laptop before walking over to the microwave to reheat her milk.  She'd totally forgotten about it while she was playing around on her computer.  She drank the warm liquid, rinsed out her mug and turned off the lights in the apartment before walking back to her bedroom and getting in bed with Daniel.  He instinctively wrapped an arm around her middle and kissed her back.

"Where did you go?" he asked half asleep.

"I couldn't sleep, I went and drank a warm cup of milk."

"Oh ok.  Well try and get some sleep baby, love you."
