I wake up groaning from the lack of sleep last night, I was so nervous I couldn't stand it.

I look over at my alarm and see its exactly 6, the same time Tanner and I went out last night. I remember him, his body, the rest of the night where he drove me home with his hand on my thigh, and about the fact that he gave me my first orgasm.

I never knew how much better you would feel after reliving so much sexual tension. I was so wound up and afterwards all I could do was relax into his body, he knew exactly what to do.

He was a perfect gentleman and he didn't complain about my come or his come on his hands either. He just smiled at me and kissed my forehead. He made me feel special, and he made me feel loved even though it is way to early to feel that way.

He walked me to my door and kissed me long and hard before leaving. He gripped my behind in his palms as I gripped his shoulder and jumped on his waist as he pushed my back against my door. He moaned against my mouth and explored my body with his hands until Brooke opened the door and I almost fell. Good thing I was in his arms holding onto his body. She gave us both evil smiles before shutting the door but at that point my face was so red I hid it in his shoulder.

He gripped my face and told me it was okay before I got down off of him and he gripped my butt again as he kissed me and left. It was so completely perfect in the most odd way ever.

It was still early at only 9 when I came home so I should have gotten plenty of sleep. Brooke tried to get all the details out of me but I kept quiet as she hounded me, all she knows is that Tanner and I officially started dating.

Jokes on me though I couldn't sleep thinking about the possibilities of today or about the possibilities of him. I know he's popular, and I know he has a reputation here but, I want to get to know him.

Brooke's still asleep in her room so I go into our joined bathroom and take a quick shower and brush my teeth. I keep my hair in a tight bun though because I don't feel like blow drying it this morning. She must have classes around 9 like most everybody else here but being the way I am I requested early classes. I finish my shower and wrap a towel around myself while grabbing my hair in my hand, I know that if I get it wet it will take hours to dry.

I almost walk out of the bathroom when I notice my neck in the built in mirror. It's covered in hickeys, everywhere from behind my ear to below my breasts are covered. I feel along them as his teeth and lip marks are on my neck, I don't like the way they look but I do like the way they make me feel.

I quickly go into my room and put on a tee shirt and some running shorts along with my old white athletic shoes. I straighten my long hair and leave it down to cover the hickeys and I put on make up quickly. My tee shirt is right on my neckline so most of my breast hickeys are covered. I put loads of foundation on the ones on the right side of my neck though, that's his go to side.

It's sad I already miss him.

I grab my bag, ID card, wallet, phone, and keys all while walking out the door. Just then I look down at my phone as the signature ping sound goes off.

He typed

I smile as he sends in another one a few seconds later.I laugh as I read it, when I told him about the classes I was taking he immediately issued Tanner time so he could still see me for thirty minutes a day.

That alone makes my heart melt. I text back with

I know he wakes up early to work out with his team everyday. The fact that he thought of me this morning though sends my stomach into butterflies.

After leaving the dining hall from breakfast I look down at my phone and see it's 7:01 and my first class starts at 7:30. I quickly walk across campus to the Anatomy and Physiology building and make my way through the hall. I take the first right and second left, until I see room W4 my Physiology class and walk in.

The class is practically empty, I knew from being this early it probably would be, so I walk into the middle row and take a seat. I would sit in the first row but that's to noticeable and the back row shows I don't care, so middle it is.

The professor seams to know what he is talking about, and I sit in my seat taking notes the entire time. He has a dark grey suit and he's a former Coronary Specialist so I pay attention the entire time, I actually like him. I love learning about the body and it comes so easy to me that I don't notice the time until he dismisses us.

When class ends I quickly pack up my belongings and leave to go to room W18 for my Anatomy class. I like that my schedule allows me to take them both together so that I won't have to learn double the information, I can do it together.

It's now 9:00 so the entire campus is awake, I see it through the clear windows in the hall. I finally find W18 and walk in seating towards the exit because the class is practically full. I'm not surprised the medical program here is best in the state and I'm just happy I'll have a college degree from this place.

A guy I've never seen before comes and sits beside me because there are very few seats left, I don't mind though, the professor must be good. I know that these classes are required for my nursing but I see people of all ages here and it excites me.

I look around and see Barbie's and Supermodel's styling their first day of school outfits, and laugh thinking about how hot it is going to be outside causing their pounds of makeup to sweat off. We are in Alabama ladies, you do realize it's about to be hot outside? It's June, we started school really early this year, they should know that.

They are probably here so they call tell people "Oh look, I'm a Nurse!" in their to tight scrubs. That's the part that get's to me, people who don't want to help their patients, that's all I care about.

I wonder if Tanner's into that look, it's definitely not me and he's so popular I'm sure they throw themselves at him. I don't think I realized how big football was here until I saw his face everywhere, it was on posters, cups, shirts, flags and even on the student bulletin boards outside.

My neighbor must have heard me laugh because he turns to my side and says "I'm Parker Witten, Future Doctor", I look up and meet his gaze only to see a very prominent busted lip and black eye on his face.

I respond with "Hey I'm Ellie Zimmerman, It's nice to meet you, hopefully future nurse" he smiles at me.

"Maybe so, let's see how hard this bitch is first" he says while grabbing his textbook and opening it.

I laugh and ask "So what happened to your face? it's the first day of classes, surely a bully couldn't have taken your lunch money this early" I joke.

He looks at me sternly, I must have crossed the line "Just some dick that wanted to fuck with me."

I am about to respond and apologize when the professor walks in and starts speaking, I turn to him and say "Talk later?" meaning I'm going to apologize for getting in his business.

He looks at me for a second smirking and then winking and says "Yeah, sure pretty lady."

His flirting isn't even good. I immediately feel awkward the way he says that and the way he look's at me. He is freaking weird and definitely not Tanner and the way he speaks when he flirts with me.

I begin taking notes and reading the syllabus as I see him look over at me a few times and before I know it the class is about to end. I look at my phone and see its 11:28; along with the selfie me and Tanner took last night in his truck. That makes me happy and I'm ready to see him so I pack my bag quietly so I can sprint out of this building and away from the creep Parker next to me.

When the time hits 11:30 I stand up about to walk out the door when Parker grabs my elbow. Crap! I was about to get away without speaking to him. I hate that I tried to be nice and he took it the wrong way.

He says "Hey wanna go get lunch together?" while looking me up and down. Yep, definitely awkward.

Mentally preparing myself to be nice and polite but turn him down and run as quickly as possible I say "Sorry, I can't my boyfriend and I are having lunch" and start to walk away out the door and down the hall and finally hitting the sidewalk. Hopefully he took the hint that I'm in a relationship and leaves me alone. I feel the swelling heat and immediate beads on my forehead form. I'm in shorts and I feel like I'm about to die I can't imagine wearing jeans, or sticky makeup right now.

I thought I had lost him until he speaks. He surprises me when he says "He doesn't have to know" right behind my back. He did not just disregard my relationship like that, even if it is new. I feel the rage build inside of me.

I stop in my tracks and turn around right into his face and spit out, "I am not looking for anyone to go to lunch with, thank you for your offer but I'm happy in my relationship and it is going to stay that way and you are not going to get in between that".

The only good thing about being tall is the long legs and that I can look him directly into the eyes to get my point across. He's not nearly as tall and muscular as Tanner, he's not my type either, especially since he's probably a inch shorter than me.

He goes to respond back but is speechless when he looks behind me towards the sidewalk, I know why because I feel Tanner's presence before I see him, I also smell his signature cologne. His body heat is like a wave that hits me from behind and I feel his presence.

He is directly behind me and puts a hand on my hip and pulls me closer to his side, marking what's his. I might not feel comfortable right now with Parker near me but Tanner makes that all go away.

"Hey baby, what's this fuck doing messing with you?" he questions looking at Parker and kissing my forehead. I grip his hand in mine as I can tell he's fuming and I rub my thumb over his palm.

I can tell that hate each other from the looks they are exchanging. He speaks to Parker, "Touch or talk to what is fucking mine again and I will put you sorry ass in a coma."

It immediately clicks in my head this is the guy that Parker was saying punched him. This is why they hate each other. Parker looks at me and grins walking away, what a creep. Now I have to handle the 6'4'' situation behind me.

I say pointing my finger with a stern look, "Before you get angry or mad, he sat beside me in Anatomy because all the other seats were taken, I spoke to him for literally one minute and then he followed me out of the building wanting to make me go get lunch with him."

"I refused to go and he told me he didn't care that I had a boyfriend after I specifically told him no, he was creepy" I rasp out in the end. Tanner releases my hand and grabs my waist.

Tanner look's down at me with his hands still on my waist and I hear people shouting his name, he really is the king here, literally Kingston is his last name. The people here absolutely love him, he's so likeable I understand why.

He says "I don't give a fuck what he said to you, he knows that you're mine now and if he says anything else to you I will give him another fucking black eye, I promise."

"Calm down, it's okay, he knows now" I tell him while placing my hands on his biceps to calm him down, he really does get angry a lot, I'm going to have to work on that.

"I'm glad you claimed me, If he does this again you need to tell me and I'll kill the little bastard, whatever I feel like that day, maybe shoot him" he says to me as I give him a stern look.

I knew it! "Why did you give him one in the first place Tanner?" I ask him questionably.

"At the party he was talking shit about fucking my sister and I pushed him against the wall and beat his face to fucking pieces. I didn't say anything because I don't like talking about it but, that's why you found me upstairs trying to cool off."

It all clicks in my head. I immediately regret the question, knowing he would do that for his sister even though it was probably the worst way possible to handle the situation, makes me all hot and horny. That means he protects his family, and women.

"What did he say? If you don't mind me asking" I whisper out to him as I grip his left hand into mine.

"He told me he fucked her in the backseat of his truck and I know he's a liar because she's a virgin and is staying that way" he rasps out to me.

I hug him with my arms around his neck and say "I'm sorry for asking, he was a total creep anyway, he deserved it. He shouldn't talk about her like that. I was just being nice and he took it the wrong way, I tried to make him leave me alone and he wouldn't. Thank you for being here, I don't know if I would have handled it the best."

"Anything for my girl, Ready to go?" he tells me while kissing me softly. I'm not one for PDA but this is nice, to be able to show him as mine. Especially to all the girls that watch him from afar, I'm going to have to ask him about that.

"I thought I was gonna text you so we could go eat?" I ask as I pull away.

"I got out early," he says to me slowly and I know he's lying, they will not let us out early the first day.

He smiles and pushes my hair back looking at the hickeys covering my neck and says "I want to eat something else."

I look at him blushing and not really knowing what that means and say "Back to my question Tanner, and don't lie. My conditions."

He smiles at me and states "I couldn't wait any longer so I drove to the exact spot I knew you would be and I'm fucking glad I did, I mean look at those long legs hanging out of those shorts."

I just smile and peck him on his full pump lips and grip his hand. I love that he loves my body, he doesn't call me means names about my height, and he likes to talk about how hot I am to him and I feel so much better about that.

We walk hand and hand to his Bronco, where he opens my door and helps me get seated all while keeping his hands on my behind the entire time. I laugh as girls squeal at him and he doesn't even look.

I laugh as he gets in and say "Haven't had enough of me yet baby?" jokingly. He smiles at me grips my face in his hands and brings our mouths inches apart, heat floods my body.

He says "Never, Trouble" and drives off towards the cafeteria across campus even though we could have probably walked to save gas money. He always calls me that, am I really trouble?

He doesn't worry about gas the way I do being extremely rich. That reminds me that I have to get a job within the next few weeks to be able to afford clothes and gas. I know my Academics payed for most of my schooling but I want some extra money for me.

"Tanner?" I ask as he rubs his hand over mine as he kisses the back of it making me smile.

"Yeah?" He asks looking at the stop sign in front of us as I rub his big thumb.

"I'm in like with you." I tell him as I smile and he laughs softly. "I'm in like with you too." He tells me as I grin and kiss his cheek. Only he turns his head and kisses me softly as I laugh and push his chest away from me.

We hear honks behind us as I pull myself back into my seat. He looks behind him and rolls his eyes as he sees his roommate and a girl behind us.

"What's wrong?" I ask as I turn and see the Chad guy he was telling me about with a blonde in his passengers seat. Tanner told me about his football and living situation yesterday so I know who Chad is.

"Chad's a dick." He tells me as he grabs my hand and keeps driving. He shakes it off as he smiles at me, "Ready to eat?"

I look at his chiseled jaw and cheek bones and put my hand on his thigh rubbing it up and down. I kiss his cheek smiling as we park in the lot of the dinning hall cafeteria.

Chad parks behind us as Tanner grabs my hand, "Baby stay here". He tells me as he pulls his seatbelt off.

"What? why?" I ask as he looks behind us and I see a little blonde skinny girl jump out of Chad's truck as I sigh. She's beautiful and she makes me feel self conscious.

"Let me handle something real quick." He tells me leaning forward and kissing my cheek before he gets out of the truck and goes to Chad. He talks to both of them as I watch and when I know he's fuming I can't handle sitting in the truck anymore. I open the door and hop out before I walk over to him.

He immediately turns and his face pales as I walk to him and grab his arm with the blond watching. "Tan what's going on?" I ask as I rub his arm and he glares down at me.

"Nothing" he tells me pulling away as I look at the blonde and she won't talk to me. Chad looks me up and down as he grins at Tanner and taps his back. What was that for?

"Tanner be honest with me" I whisper softly so they can't hear us as he walks away from them and hands me his keys.

"Give me a minute El, I'm serious." He demands as I walk away with my tail between my legs. When I get to his door I open it and grab my stuff before shutting it without me in the seat. He can treat me like this if he wants, I'm walking.

I stand still as I hear him talk, "She said your name while I fucked her! I didn't know!" As I stand still and hear my heart blow.

Then I start walking away.
