Chasing Day Series: Chasing Day & Catching Day (13 page)

One day they’d gone to the movies to see
Gladiator
. The three-hour movie experience became memorable to Daylen, in more ways than how good Russell Crowe looked in a skirt. The theater was relatively empty. The movie had been in the theaters for a couple of weeks and it was a matinee. Day and Chase were the only people in the very back row.

After they’d eaten all their popcorn and the movie was thick into the plot, Chase lifted up the armrest that was in between them. He wrapped his left arm around Day’s shoulders and pulled her into him. He right hand stroked up her bare, thick and creamy thigh, as he kissed and nibbled on her ear.

Day tried to clench her thighs together. A bright blush stained her cheeks though Chase couldn’t see it in the dark theater.

“Chase!” She exclaimed in a whisper. “Not
here
!”

“There’s barely anyone in here. And the movie’s so loud, no one will hear.” Chase coaxed with his voice and the hand that slowly crept up her leg.

Daylen turned to give him a stern look and he captured her lips in an enticing kiss. His tongue stroked against her lips. At the same time she opened her lips to him, Day opened her legs as well. Chase’s tongue caressed hers hungrily. Once he moved her panties to the side, his fingers between her legs found her wet and inviting. He stroked into her drenched folds in time with his tongue.

Day’s eyes rolled, her head fell back, releasing his lips as her hips pumped reflexively towards his fingers. His thumb circled over her clit in sensuous swirls. Chase bit down on his lip as he watched her. Day’s long curling eyelashes fanned her the tops of cheeks. Her dainty little nose flared between pants. Her ridiculously full lips opened on silent gasps.

Daylen reached her hand over and unbuckled and unzipped Chase’s jeans. She reached her hand inside his boxers and pulled out his thick length. She stroked her hand gently over his cock and Chase almost lost focus on what he was doing.

He doubled his efforts and watched as Day came around his fingers. He loved watching her. Her body tensed. Her eyebrows scrunched together. Her mouth widened as her inner walls milked his fingers.

Not willing to waste another moment not inside of her. Chase grasped her hips and lifted her onto his lap, with her back to him as she faced the movie screen. He immediately slid inside of her still flexing sweet spot. Day held onto the seat in front of her for dear life as Chase fucked her hard. Luckily, it was during one of the noisy arena battle scenes, so no one heard their cries or the smack of their flesh. As Chase brought them both to a near coma-inducing climax.

Chase shuddered as jet after jet of come coated the walls of her womb. Day quickly grabbed the napkins they had brought in with them and held them against their still joined bodies. The last thing she wanted to do was leave a mess like that for anyone to have to clean up. She worked there, so she knew how gross it was to clean a theater.

They finished out the rest of the movie as sated limp noodles. Chase holding Day closely, both knowing they only had a few more days together. A difficult road of separation lay ahead of them. Neither could have imagined just how difficult.

Beer Bongs & Keg Stands

Chapter 16

November 2000

Chicago

It was the night before everyone would leave for Thanksgiving break, and all Daylen wanted to do was let loose and have a good time. With classes, practices, homework, tests and performances; she didn’t have much time to relax. She hadn’t heard from Chase in over two weeks, and quite a few weeks before that. The fall semester was exactly what she had thought it would be. Hectic.

It was the last night before everyone would leave for Thanksgiving break, and all Chase wanted to do was let loose and have a good time. Aside from the few classes he took and homework that he had, all Chase did was eat, sleep, and breathe football. He only had time to fall into bed at night, in a coma-like sleep. Only to do it all over again the next day. He hadn’t talked to Day in weeks. They continued to play phone tag. Chase wanted nothing more than to hear her voice, but she seemed to be just as busy as he was. The fall semester was exactly what he’d worried it would be. Hectic.

Chicago

Day and Amy got ready for a party that was going on off campus. Amy’s long, fiery red curls were flat-ironed and pulled back into a swinging ponytail. She put on a super short denim skirt that showed off her long legs. A cute blue baby-tee that made her gray eyes slightly blue. And she paired it all with blue heels. Day opted for black, bootcut dress pants that hugged her ass, hips, and thighs like sin. She paired them with black, chunky heeled ankle boots and a deep maroon halter top that contoured her large breasts and flared out slightly. The top hid her round tummy, where her ‘freshman fifteen’ had seemed to migrate.

Amy did both their makeup. She gave Day a dramatically lined eye and enhanced her already long curling lashes with mascara. And finished the look with a dark maroon lip that matched her top. She pinched Day’s already big rosy cheeks and nodded with satisfaction.

“Perfect! Now let’s get outta here. I’m ready to get wasted!” Amy exclaimed.

“Please, don’t embarrass me.” Daylen cringed. “And aren’t you gonna freeze in that little skirt and t-shirt?”

“Pssh! We’re cabbing it over there and when I get some liquor in me, I won’t feel a thing.” Amy waved off Day’s concern.

“Whatever you say.” Day gave her a doubtful look.

They locked up their dorm room and walked to the elevator, heading down to a night of debauchery. The phone ringing in their room went unheard.

Champaign

Against the express orders of their coach because of their upcoming Thanksgiving Day game, many of the guys from the football team were going out. Chase included. The six of them were headed to a frat party. Chase had thrown on an army green, thrift shop Beatles t-shirt that fit tightly around his growing biceps and wide chest. With it he wore relaxed fit jeans and black Converse. His hair in messy blond spikes.

Chase had tried to call Day again before they all headed out, but as usual there was no answer. He sighed, shrugged on his leather jacket, and left his dorm room to meet up with his teammates. They were in rare form, ready for a night of tomfoolery.

Chicago

The party was at one of the brownstone apartments in Wicker Park. The apartment was filled with people that Day and Amy saw on a daily basis. This time, though, everyone was feeling good with some drinks in them. The music that they normally listened to and studied, day in and day out, was on hiatus. Pumping through the speakers now was Top 40, hip-hop, rock, and house music. The front room had turned into a dance floor.

They’d been to a few parties since they’d started school. The first couple, Day had been her normal nervous, wallflower self. But once she realized that she was at a school filled with kids similar to her, she’d relaxed. Plus, she’d quickly learned that alcohol helped as well.

Amy pulled Day through the throng of dancers, gyrating against each other, to the kitchen…to the alcohol. They had two options, a cooler filled to the brim with a mysterious jungle juice or a keg of beer. Amy grabbed two red cups and handed one to Day.

“So where should we start first?” Amy asked.

“Beer before liquor, never been sicker. Liquor before beer, you’re in the clear.” Day rattled off the drinking rules passed on from generation to generation. “So…I’d say unless you plan on just sticking to beer, we should start with the jungle juice.” Day suggested.

“Right.” Amy agreed and then pushed the spout on the cooler.

Sweet red liquid filled her cup and Day watched as she tasted it.

“Good?” Day asked.

“Mmhmm…too good. You can’t even taste the alcohol. We’re gonna get shitfaced!” Amy announced.

Daylen filled her cup and took a sip. She realized that Amy was absolutely right. She was going to have to take it easy. At least one of them needed to be slightly coherent so that they’d make it home safely.

Champaign

The six massive and popular football players walking into the frat party started a celebration of epic proportions. The frat brothers converged on them and immediately passed out red cups to the teammates and toasted their upcoming game. Then girls circled them, like a pack of female lions looking for their king.

Chase tried his best to avoid the girls. He opted to continue talking to the frat brothers about the game he’d be playing as the starting quarterback though his eyes kept going to a light-skinned black girl that reminded him of Day. Well, if Day lost all her sweetness and was replaced by a predatory sexiness. The girl watched him like a hawk as she danced with her friends. Chase turned away and chugged down the rest of his beer. The frat boys cheered him on, and then clapped him on the back as they led him over to the keg. Chase knew he was in for a long night.

Chicago

Day was on her knees with the end of a thick clear tube in her mouth as beer was funneled down it. She opened up her throat, as instructed by the crowd that had gathered, and the beer passed down it within seconds. Day pulled the tube from her mouth and gasped deeply to raucous cheers. She’d just finished her very first beer bong like a seasoned champ.
So much for taking it easy,
she thought to herself. Her mind was quickly becoming fuzzy.

A strong hand grasped her arm to help her up off the floor. Day looked up to see a familiar face. It was Drew, the boy who’d accompanied her cello with the piano at the Christmas concert the year before.

He was shy, but also very cute in a subtle way. He had mousey brown hair that had unruly curls going in every direction. Drew stood an inch or two taller than Day, in her three-inch heeled boots, and had a slim frame. He had a somewhat long face and full lips, but what stood out was his eyes. He had the prettiest shocking blue eyes, Day had ever seen. In her current, drunken stupor, she was mesmerized by the baby blues.

“Hey, Daylen. Do you remember me?” Drew asked, as he self-consciously shoved his hands in his pockets. A move that reminded Day of Chase when he was unsure of himself.

“Yeah, Drew. Of course I remember you!” Day slurred slightly.

“Would you like for me to get you another drink?” He asked politely.

“Yeah. Another beer, please. Now that I switched to beer, I have to stay there. Don’t wanna puke, you know?” Daylen rambled.

“Yeah. Hold tight and I’ll get you one.” Drew said before he disappeared.

Day felt a little wobbly, so she sat on the arm of the couch in the front room, waiting for Drew to return. Her mind swirled with thoughts of Chase and his warm brown eyes with green flecks. Then pretty blue eyes came unbidden to her thoughts, clouding her vision of Chase.

Day shook her head to clear it when she heard the first beats of her new favorite song. Aaliyah’s
Try Again
blared through the speakers and Day hopped up and started dancing with the other partiers. Drew walked up and smiled shyly as he handed her a red cup filled with foamy beer. Day drank some down, grabbed his cup, and then placed both their cups on an end table before pulling him out on the dance floor.

Day hadn’t seen Chase since she’d visited him in July. They barely even got a chance to speak to each other on the phone. She missed him to pieces but was tired of missing him all at the same time. So when the soft, full lips of the boy she was swaying with to the music, touched hers, Daylen didn’t pull away.

Champaign

“Drink muthafucker! Drink muthafucker! Drink!” The crowd chanted as Chase’s teammates held his legs up and he gripped the top of the keg.

The keg spout was in his mouth and shooting beer straight up his throat as he did a keg stand. After several seconds longer than the last guy, beating the record, Chase pulled the spout out of his mouth with a gasp. His buddies let him down and the crowd cheered at his record-breaking run. Chase smirked his sexy sideways smile and took a bow. He wobbled a bit and realized that he was
way
more buzzed than he had realized.

“Hey, dude.” His buddy Brandon, a massive linebacker, loudly whispered to him to be heard over the music. “That girl has been eyeing your jock all night. I know you have a girl up north that you never see or talk to, but fuck it, man. You should hit that!” Brandon suggested as he shoved something in Chase’s pocket.

Chase reached into the pocket and his fingers wrapped around the square foil wrapper of a couple of condoms. He looked up at Brandon with a questioning look and Brandon just shrugged.

“I figured since you’ve been celibate for months, that you wouldn’t have any of those on you. Have fun buddy.” Brandon clapped him on the back as he walked away.

The girl in question sashayed over to him, grabbed his hand, and pulled him out onto the makeshift dance floor. The pulsing beats of
Try Again
vibrated against the walls of the frat house. The pretty girl ground her ass against Chase’s crotch as they moved to the music. And for the first time since everything had started with Day nearly a year ago, Chase got hard from another girl.

Chase felt like an asshole, but he also felt lonely. Not only was he missing his lover, but he was missing his best friend. The one person that knew everything about him. For at least one night, he didn’t want to feel alone. So as the girl turned in his arms, Chase leaned down towards her lips.

Chicago

The bright morning sun on Daylen’s face jarred her awake. She sat straight up, looked around an unfamiliar room, and got a head rush from sitting up too fast. Day’s head pounded out an excruciating beat, her stomach turned, and her mouth felt about as dry as the Sahara.

Daylen looked down and breathed a sigh of relief that she was still fully dressed.
What the hell happened last night?!
She looked to the side of her and lying on his back with an arm flung over his eyes, was a sleeping Drew.
Oh my God! I slept in his bed last night?!

Day held her breath as he started to stir. Drew pulled his arm away from his face and scrubbed his hands over his eyes. Finally, he opened his eyes and Day was hit in the stomach, by those beautiful blues.

“Hey,” he said shyly.

“Hey,” she replied just as shy.

“Are you feeling okay?” Drew asked as he sat up next to her.

“Uh, yeah. Well, as okay as to be expected.” Day turned and rubbed her temples.

The room became awkwardly silent.

“So, ah…” Day started, but let the sentence trail off.

“We didn’t…you know. Just k-kissed a lot. You started crying about someone named Chase, and then you passed out.” Drew explained hesitantly.

“Oh…” Day whispered, embarrassed.

“Is Chase your boyfriend?” Drew asked.

“Yeah.” Day looked down at her lap as she picked at his comforter with nervous fingers.

“Look, Daylen. I understand if you’re not interested. B…but I like you. I liked you when we played together a year ago.” Drew confessed.

“You do? You did?” Day asked in shock.

“Yeah. I’ve seen you on campus and that’s why I convinced my roommates to throw the party last night. I had hoped that you’d come.” Drew told her.

“We’re still at the brownstone? It’s your apartment?” Daylen asked in surprise.

“Yeah.”

“Oh God! Where’s Amy?!” Daylen said jumping up from the bed.

“She’s good. She’s still here with my roommate Jake.” Drew reassured her.

Daylen breathed a sigh of relief that she wasn’t a completely horrible friend. Then she stood there awkwardly, not sure what to do next. She wanted to run from Drew’s room and apartment and avoid him and his interest in her for the rest of her college career. But something held her to the spot. Maybe it was his thoughtful blue gaze. It felt like forever since she’d seen adoration in someone’s eyes when they looked at her.
