I kept browsing.

Her voice came up again, this time, with a hint of annoyance, “Zander, I asked you something.”

Zander? Did she say Zander?

I was rooted to the spot. I couldn’t move. What were the chances of running into another guy named Zander within the vicinity of this college campus?

Probably 1 to 1000.

With my luck, that 0.001 probability would be that the Zander this woman was speaking to, was the same Zander who occupied my thoughts for the past weeks.

I grabbed the envelopes of the cards I’ve picked and started to move.

Yes, my luck just went into the air vent of the air conditioner directly overhead of me. He stood on the other side of the rack. His blue-green gaze honed in on me.

The owner of the voice was a petite brunette with spiky heels and massive boobs. She followed Zander’s gaze and said, “I was asking you something.”

Zander shrugged his shoulders and said, “Hold on.”

He walked towards me.

“Hey, fancy meeting you here.”

My insides were shaking. I was in a constant seizure-like state with this man. I smiled at him and responded, “Yeah, just grabbing some cards.”

Nalee had impeccable timing. She stood behind Zander and his lady friend. Her eyes widened as she asked, “Ready to go, Sedona?”

“Yes, I’m ready. Nice seeing you again, Zander.” He looked like he was about to say something, but I swiftly passed him by.

I blew any chances I had with him by telling him I wasn’t ready. But he didn’t have to whore around campus to show everyone what a catch he was. For the past weeks, I received a constant stream of texts and picture messages from Tanya about Zander’s latest conquests, courtesy of Chattypepper.com. I had a pretty good idea that Zander’s quarterback skills extended beyond the football field.

In one picture, he was with a brunette wearing a mini skirt that practically showed off her underwear. Another time, he was with a redhead whose pouty lips took up half the site’s page. The latest was a blonde girl with a pierced belly button. Her barely there midriff top showed an outie belly button with piercing that must’ve hurt like crazy.

I asked Tanya to stop texting me pictures of him because he was none of my business. She just kept getting back at me with the same texts, “Denial is a river in Egypt and you are drowning in it.”

I didn’t even know why he asked for a chance with me. From the looks of the women he associated himself with; I was not even close to his type.

Zander

Damn and double damn. She was clearly my type. Apparently, my only type.

Having been to numerous dates with a bunch of women hasn’t done me any good. On the football field, I was back to my old self. My focus was back. I was doing great in school. But when it came to ‘getting it up’ for these women, I had no energy or desire.

Each night, I tried to get myself into showing real interest in these women. I went to the bars with John, Xavier, and a couple of other guys. These chicks were hot. They just didn’t do anything for me. I went home alone every single night. It was frustrating as hell; I told every, single one of them, that we would be better off as friends. It was unfair for me to lead these women on. It was pathetic.I was pathetic.

Today, I accompanied Bianca to the store. I met her last night at Hudson’s. She looked like she was a pretty outgoing girl so I asked her out for a date. She said she had to grab a card for her sister’s party tonight. Weird, but whatever. We were supposed to be on a date. Couldn’t she have bought a card before or after our date? It was cool though. The more I spent time with her, the less I wanted to hear her talk. She went on and on about her sister, her dogs, and her fascination with reality TV.

So here we were, browsing through some cards and shit at K-Greens. We hadn’t been here that long before I caught a whiff of Sedona’s unique scent.Strawberries and peaches.I thought it was another figment of my imagination. That was all I had these days. Figments of her. But no, when she raised her head and looked at me, she was for real. She was standing a few steps away from where I stood.

My date, Bianca, was farthest from my thoughts, the moment I caught a glimpse of Sedona. All I did was stare at her. She was dressed in some workout pants and a loose-fitting pink shirt. Her casual clothes did nothing to diminish her natural sexiness. I took in her exquisite toes wrapped around her pink flip flops. What I would give to be those flip flops.

My dick was already standing to attention when Bianca’s voice broke through my focus on Sedona.

Sedona’s eyes widened when she saw me. She looked like she was about to flee. I had to reach her before she left, so I said, “Hey, fancy meeting you here.”Fancy meeting you here? What kind of dumb shit was I?

It was ridiculous. All Sedona had to do was be present and all of a sudden, my absent libido showed up.

Hell.
