Sean Stemaly as Himself

+++

"I got a B on my business test." Jo says when she closes the door behind her.

"Hey! Awesome!" Riley grins, looking up from his textbook.

"Yeah." She smiles, pulling her jeans off to slide shorts on. There's a knock on the door. "Just a sec." She pulls the door open. "Sean, hey. What're you doin' here?"

"I wanted to apologize." He says, looking down at his work boots. "In person."

"Oh." She slides out into the hallway. "Thanks." He grabs her jaw and kisses her hotly, her body thumping against the door.

Riley furrows his brows at the sound and opens the door. "Oh."

"Who the hell is that?" Sean asks.

"My roommate's boyfriend." Jo says quickly. "She's- She's- She's gettin' somethin' from the cafeteria." Sean gives Riley a once over then leans down to kiss Jo again, keeping his eyes on him. He shuts the door. "Thanks for doin' this."

"So, you comin' home with me?"

"What?"

"You're not stayin', are you?"

"Sean-"

"I told you you ain't smart enough for this."

Riley shakes his head on the other side of the door. Sean is a fucking asshole.

"I think I wanna finish this year out 'fore I decide to quit or not, if that's okay."

If that's okay?

Since when is she asking Sean for permission to do the shit she wants!?

Sean takes an over dramatic breath. "Fine but when you come home, y'ain't comin' back here."

Jo looks down. "I gotta get to class." She lies. "I'll talk to you later."

"What? No, we're havin' a fuckin conversation. You can't just walk away."

Riley grips the door handle as he listens to his words.

"I have to get to class." She repeats in a weak voice. "I can't miss today."

She blindly reaches for the doorknob, huffing under her breath when it's locked. She taps her knuckles against the door and it opens.

"I'll see you later, Sean, okay?"

"Whatever." He walks away from her.

Jo slips back into the dorm with tears in her eyes. Riley looks up from his homework and his heart drops. He stands and offers open arms for her but she pushes past him, tears now falling down her cheeks.

"Hey." He whispers, getting her to turn around. He silently hugs her and her body goes from being extremely ridged to relaxed. Jo tries to keep her cries quiet but she fails and ends up sobbing against his chest, her hands balled in his shirt tightly.

Riley tears up.

This girl is usually the kind of girl that doesn't take shit from anyone but she crumbled under her boyfriend's heel.

"I'm sorry." She says when she calms down, not letting go. She's really enjoying being hugged like this. "Sorry."

Riley runs a hand over her hair then down her back, pressing his nose against the top of her head. Her eyes shut and she takes a deep breath in, his body wash and cologne filling her nose and lungs.

He smells so good.

Guys that smell good is such a fucking turn on. That masculine smell is enough to get any girl to want to jump his bones.

She clears her throat and pulls away, looking down at her bare feet. "Sorry." She repeats.

"Why are you apologizin'?"

She waves him off. "I- I gotta study."

She grabs her bag then she's out the door, sending Riley a small smile before she shuts it behind her.

Jo cackles as she stumbles into the dorm room. She snorts when she smacks her hand against the wall to find the light switch.

Riley groans, lifting his head off the pillow. "The fuck?" He rolls his eyes but he's smiling at the sight of her. "Jo?"

She trips over a pair of boots she left out and stumbles back against his bed. He lets out a surprised sound at the sudden weight on top of his back. She laughs which makes him laugh.

Riley goes to sit up but she stops him by cuddling up against him.

He's surprised at first but let's her, his arm coming up around her.

She giggles, her limbs wrapping around him tightly. "Sean don't really like holdin' me."

"Seriously?" She laughs in response, her head on his shoulder. Riley frowns as he holds her close, his fingers raking through her hair.

"Y'know, I like you, Riley Green."

"I like you too, JoJo."

She shakes her head. "No, I mean, I like you, Ri." She sighs heavily as she leans up on an elbow. "Like you're a super nice guy and it's a nice change from Sean."

"Yeah, I don't really like Sean." He admits, knowing this conversation is going to be a little fuzzy to her tomorrow.

She looks between his pretty blue eyes and pretty lips, her heart speeding up. She leans over and kisses him. Riley's eyes go wide for a second before he kisses her back, his hand threading through her hair as he deepens the kiss.

She bites his lip.

It catches him off guard.

Jo moves clumsily so she's straddling his hips, her hands trailing over his toned torso that he's worked so hard on before dipping to the waistband of his shorts.

She's feeling incredibly frisky.

Riley pulls back when she starts tugging on his waistband. "Jo, we- we can't."

She stops and looks down at him in the dark. "What?"

"You got a boyfriend."

"But he's a jerk."

"Then break up with him."

Jo scoffs as she sits back too. "That's- it's not that simple, Riley. I can't just end it."

"Why not?"

She bites her lip and looks down. "'Cause." She shakes her head as she sits against the footboard. Riley immediately pulls his blankets back over his lower half, watching her. "Sorry. I'm just incredibly fuckin' lonely and horny. Sean is six hours away and things feel weird. I don't think he loves me no more."

Riley bites his lip. "I'd say talk to him but he don't listen to you."

"But you do." She mumbles as she pulls her knees up to her chest. "And I want- just-" She cuts herself off. "I'm gonna puke."

She leaps out of his bed and rushes down the hall to the shared bathroom. She hunches over a toilet and throws up.

Riley sighs from the doorway, crouching next to her to hold her hair back. She smiles weakly then gags.

"This is hot, right?" She breathes.

"Yeah." He laughs back, rubbing her back.

She sits back against the wall, breathing hard. "Sorry." She coughs, her belly gurgles then she's throwing up again.

After a while of her clearing her belly, Riley's walking her back to their dorm.

Jo slumps over in Riley's bed, pulling his sheets up to her shoulders. He sighs and sits next to her, gently brushing her hair from her sweaty face.

She hums softly, her head already aching as the room spins. The way he's playing with her hair makes her relax and drift into a deep sleep. He smiles and lays back on her bed, loving the way her sheets smell like that perfume and her shampoo.

Riley tries to stay awake in case she gets sick again so she doesn't choke on her own vomit but he ends up falling asleep too, facing her curled up in his bed.
