Hey

Yeah, I'm Ava. It's nice to meet you! How are you adjusting to college life?

I'm glad you're enjoying it so far! College can be really fun, but it does take some getting used to. How did your orientation go?

Oh, I see...I'm at the bottom actually. That explains why our rooms were switched last minute. I hope we can still be good roommates! How long did you say you've been on campus for?

Well, I appreciate your attitude towards it at least! As for me, I've only been here for a few days now as well. There's still plenty of time to get settled in and make this work. So how do you usually like to spend your free time? Any favorite hobbies or activities?

Wow! That's quite the unique combination. MMA fighting and riding a Harley? Do you compete professionally in either of those sports? I could totally see you as an MMA fighter with your build! But then again, I imagine that kind of takes up most of your time... How do you find balance between training and having some fun?

Well, I hope you're able to find some time for fun along the way! And don't worry about me keeping you up with my early-morning practices, I can always sleep in on weekends. But seriously, thanks for being so understanding and easy to talk to. It really means a lot, especially since we just met.

I'm glad I could make things easier for you too! As for my age, I just turned 18 last month. So I'm still pretty young and new to college myself. How old are you?

Oh, just barely! Well, I hope you have a great first year here as well. Don't be surprised if we end up becoming good friends during our time together on campus. And who knows, maybe one day I'll get to see your MMA fighting skills or ride with you on your Harley! But for now, I should probably turn in and try to adjust to this new schedule. It was nice talking to you tonight, Trevor. Sweet dreams!

G'night, Trevor! See you in the morning. Sleep tight and don't let the bedbugs bite. I hope you have a good night's rest. It was really nice chatting with you tonight as well. ☺

Haha! Okay, I'll try not to disturb you too much then. See you in the morning, Trevor! Sweet dreams and sleep tight. Enjoy the last bit of quiet before classes start tomorrow. ☺

(Stirring awake at the sound of his voice) Mmmm... (Her eyelids flutter open to reveal her still sleepy gaze, and she stretches out in bed before sitting up with a yawn.) Morning, Trevor. You're up bright and early today! Did you have a good night's rest? I could use some coffee after that. (She glances over at the breakfast table set up near the window, taking in the aroma of food wafting through the air.) Thanks for making breakfast for both of us; it's really sweet of you!

Oh, I'm sorry! (She climbs down carefully from the top bunk and then makes her way over to the breakfast table.) Thanks for telling me about the ladder; it really helps me not feel so clumsy. And yes, we have plenty of time before our first class starts. Enough time for me to eat some breakfast and maybe get a little studying done. (She takes a plate from him and begins helping herself to the food.) So what's on your agenda today? Any classes or practice you need to get to?

That's good to hear! I hope your training goes well today. Maybe you could show me some moves sometime? I've always been fascinated by MMA and would love to learn more about it. After class, we could meet up at the gym or something if you want to share your knowledge with me. (She takes a bite of food as she continues talking, not realizing how eagerly she's offering to spend time with him.) What do you think?

That sounds like an amazing opportunity! I'd really appreciate it if you could take me with you. It would mean a lot to be able to learn directly from your trainer, and seeing you in action will definitely inspire me to improve my own skills. Thank you so much for offering this, Trevor!

Now that we have breakfast and our first class out of the way, let's get going. Do you want to walk together or should I go ahead? Class starts at 9am, right?

That went by so fast! Classes are definitely going to keep us busy this year, but I think we're both up for the challenge. (She adjusts her backpack on her shoulders and nods in the direction of their next class.) Shall we head over there now? Or do you have any other plans beforehand?

Oh! Well, I've never been on a motorcycle before. Do you think this would be a good time to learn? Maybe you could give me a ride while we go to the club? I know it sounds crazy, but I'm really up for anything with someone as experienced as you are behind the wheel. What do you think, Trevor?

(Her heart racing with anticipation, she nods eagerly and hurries to put on her helmet. Once everything is in place, she climbs onto the bike and takes a seat in front of him. She's never been this close to someone so strong and dominant before, and it sends shivers down her spine.)

"Okay, Trevor...you just tell me what to do. I trust you." With a final look back at him, she grips the handlebars tightly and begins to move forward, feeling the power of the engine beneath her. It's an incredible sensation that takes her breath away, but she knows she can handle it with his help. They ride off into the distance together now, heading toward the MMA club for their practice session.

"Yeah...I think so," she pants out between breaths as they continue to ride down the road. "It's a little nerve-wracking at first, but I'm starting to get the hang of it." She glances back over her shoulder at him and gives him a nervous smile, feeling his presence so close behind her. It only adds to the thrill of the experience.

She concentrates on staying steady on the bike, following his instructions as they wind through traffic and toward their destination. The wind whips through her hair, making her feel alive and free for once in her sheltered life. She can't help but wonder if this is how it feels to be truly wanted and cared for...if this is what love feels like.

(They pull up to the MMA club, and Ava turns off the engine, feeling a mixture of relief and disappointment wash over her as they come to a stop. She looks back at Trevor with a grateful smile.)

Thank you so much for letting me take control back there. I had no idea how powerful that bike could be! And thank you even more for trusting me enough to let me try. That meant the world to me, and I hope we can do it again sometime soon! (She bends down to unbuckle her helmet and then takes it off, running a hand through her sweaty hair.)

"So...are you ready to head inside? Or would you rather stay out here for a while longer?"

(She nods, feeling both grateful and honored to be called his friend. They head inside the MMA club together, where Trevor begins his training with his trainer while she watches intently from the sidelines. She can't help but marvel at his skills and dedication, admiring him all the more for who he is both on and off the mat.)

She tries her best not to stare at him as he trains with his trainer, but she can't help it. He moves with such precision and power, making each move look effortless. It's incredible to think that this same person who was so sweet and understanding on the bike earlier is also capable of such raw strength and aggression in the ring. But then again, maybe that's what makes him so perfect for MMA...and why she finds herself falling harder for him by the minute.

Ava:That sounds incredible! You'll be amazing in the tournament, I just know it. And if you ever change your mind about wanting me to be there with you, you know where to find me. You're going to make such a big name for yourself one day, Trevor. And I want to be right there by your side, cheering you on and supporting you every step of the way.

My heart skips a beat at your words. You're so strong and dominant when you talk like that...it's intoxicating. And to think, I get to call someone like you my friend, my confidante. It's more than I could ever hope for. But if things have changed between us, then what does that mean? Do you not want me around anymore? Is there something I can do to change your mind?

I understand if something personal is going on...but could you please just tell me what it is? I want to help in any way I can. We're friends, right? And as for going back to our apartment, let's do it. Lead the way, Trevor; I'm following your lead no matter where that takes us.

With a deep breath and an unspoken apology for whatever she may have done wrong, Ava climbs onto the back of Trevor's motorcycle once again. As he revvs the engine and pulls away from the MMA club, her heart races with a mix of fear and anticipation. She hopes that by trusting him like this, it will show him how much she truly cares about their friendship...and maybe even more than that. For now though, all she can do is hold onto him tightly and pray that everything works out in the end.

She clutches at his jacket as the wind pressure presses her back into him and whimpers quietly, trying to control her reaction to his sudden burst of speed. Fear shoots through her veins but she refuses to let go, determined to show that she trusts him no matter what. Her eyes squeze shut tightly, trying to block out the world as he speeds past everything around them, taking her on this wild and unpredictable ride that mirrors their relationship in so many ways.

Her heart still racing, she slowly opens her eyes as they pull up in front of the apartment building. "It's...it's okay," she manages to say between shallow breaths. "I understand why you did it...you just surprised me is all." Her hands are trembling slightly as she dismounts from his bike, suddenly feeling very small and fragile in comparison. "Thank you for bringing me home safe, Trevor. I really appreciate everything you've done today."

No, it's not that I was uncomfortable...it was just very different from anything I've ever done before. But you know what? I loved every second of it. Thank you for letting me experience all of this with you, Trevor. You make me feel things that I never thought possible...and for that, I am truly grateful.

Oh...I understand. You probably need some time alone after your practice and everything. Just take your time, okay? And when you're done, I can make us dinner if you want? Or we could order a pizza or something, whatever you prefer. Let me know what you'd like to do, and I'll be here for you no matter what.

Alright, take your time. Just remember that I'm here whenever you need me. If there's anything specific you want me to do while you're in the shower or anything else like that, just tell me and I'll be happy to help out.

Okay, Trevor...just take your time and enjoy the shower. I'll start making some food in the kitchen while you're gone, so everything will be nice and warm when you're done. And if there's anything else you need me to do in the meantime, just shout! I'm here for you, remember?

While Trevor is in the shower, Ava tries to distract herself by making dinner and cleaning up around the apartment. But she can't help but feel restless, anxious even. She keeps glancing over at the bathroom door, wondering what he looks like without his clothes on. It would be so easy for her to just sneak a peek...

Without thinking too much about it, Ava slowly creeps towards the bathroom door and carefully presses her ear against it. She can hear the water running in the shower and catches snippets of Trevor's deep, masculine voice as he speaks softly to himself. Her heart races as she listens intently, wondering if this is how spying on someone feels like...but at the same time, not quite wanting to pull away from the thrill of it all.

Her heart pounds in her chest as she peeks behind the door and gets her first glimpse of Trevor naked in the shower. His muscles are taut and defined, water running down his sculpted torso and over the defined V at the base of his abs. She can't help but stare, unable to tear her eyes away from the incredible sight before her. Her breathing becomes shallower as she tries to convince herself that this is wrong...that they shouldn't be doing this...but the forbidden thrill is too strong.

As the water runs down Trevor's back and over his muscular butt, she can't help but wonder what it would feel like to touch him there. Her fingers twitch in response, longing to explore every inch of his perfect body. With a shiver, she pulls her eyes away from the shower and returns to the kitchen to finish preparing dinner. But the image of Trevor naked remains burned into her mind, making it impossible for her to focus on anything else.

She tries to tell herself that this is just harmless curiosity...that they're friends, and nothing more...but deep down, she knows there's something more here. Something she can't quite put a name to yet. It both excites and terrifies her at the same time.

She hears the shower shut off and feels her heart race even faster as she wonders how long it will be before Trevor emerges from the bathroom. When she finally sees him, she has to force herself not to gape like a fish out of water at his muscular frame clad in new pyjamas. He looks so comfortable and approachable in them that she finds herself wanting to touch him even more than before.

"I thought I'd have some company," he says with a small smile, catching her staring. "Everything okay?"

She hesitates for a moment before responding. "I don't know...maybe? I mean, if you want to tell me what's going on, I'm here for you, Trevor." Her words come out softly, tentatively, as she steps closer and reaches out to touch his arm reassuringly. There's something about the way he looks so vulnerable right now that makes her heart ache.

"Please...tell me if there's anything I can do to help."

Ava listens intently to Trevor's story, her eyes widening in horror as he tells her about his father. She knows now that there's more to him than just his strong exterior; he's someone who has been through incredible pain and loss. She can't even begin to imagine what it must have been like for him growing up without a father, but she's grateful that he was able to find some solace in the sports he loved and in the memories they shared together.

"Trevor," she says softly, taking another step closer to him. "I'm so sorry for your loss. You must have gone through so much...and I had no idea." She reaches out and gently places a hand on his shoulder, offering what little comfort she can in the moment. "If there's ever anything you want to talk about, or if you just need someone to be here for you, please

No, it's okay, Trevor," she insists gently, refusing to budge from his side. "Your story didn't bother me at all. In fact...I think it's helped me understand you a little better." She gives him a small smile before finally taking a step back and sitting down at the table as he sits across from her.

"Besides, we're friends, remember? There's no need to apologize for sharing your feelings with me. I want to be here for you whenever you need me." With a final nod, she takes a bite of the food Ava has prepared, hoping that it tastes as good as it smells and that it will help take some of the weight off his shoulders...even if only for a little while.

I'd be happy to tell you about it sometime, Trevor," she replies between bites of her own food. "But right now I think we should just focus on enjoying this delicious dinner you've made and taking our minds off things for a little while." She takes another sip of wine and looks up at him with a grateful smile. "Thank you again for letting me be a part of your life, even if it's only as a friend right now."

He chuckles softly and nods before taking another bite himself. The tension between them seems to fade away slightly as they eat in companionable silence, both enjoying each other's company in their own ways. It feels strange yet comforting at the same time; like everything is falling into place even though they're both still trying to figure out what exactly that means.

With a yawn and a contented sigh, she rises from the table once Trevor has finished eating as well. "I think I'm going to turn in as well," she says sleepily. "Thank you again for everything tonight. It was really nice spending time with you." She glances toward his bedroom before finally turning and walking down the hallway to her own room, wondering what tomorrow will bring. As she drifts off to sleep, images of Trevor's muscular frame and strong hands dance through her dreams, making it difficult for her to remember that they are just friends...for now.

As she stretches and yawns in her bed, Ava realizes that there's no sound of Trevor moving about yet. It makes her smile to think he might still be sleeping, even though it's so early. She takes a moment to gaze out the window at the morning light streaming through the curtains before deciding to take this opportunity to get dressed. Today, she decides on wearing a sheer white nightgown without underwear; feeling soft and feminine beneath its thin fabric.

Stealing quietly down the hallway, Ava peeks into Trevor's room only to find him sound asleep in his bed, one strong arm flung above his head. The sight takes her breath away once more, making it difficult for her not to sneak closer and study his features even further. It's moments like these that make her feel so connected to him...and yet so far apart at

With a soft sigh, she decides it's best to leave him be for now and returns to her own room to busy herself with the day's activities. But as the hours pass and the memories of last night's dinner and conversation continue to float through her mind, she can't help but wonder what would happen if they were more than just friends...if they could ever cross that line together. The thought both thrills and terrifies her in equal measure, leaving her feeling completely out of control...and yet oddly content in the knowledge that no matter what happens, Trevor will always be there for her.

As the sounds of movement and activity begin to emanate from Trevor's bedroom, Ava can't help but feel a jolt of anticipation course through her veins. She has a sneaking suspicion that today is going to be different; she can sense something in the air, an almost tangible shift between them. It's as if they're both finally acknowledging what's been simmering beneath the surface all along...and it fills her with both excitement and trepidation.

With a deep breath, Ava forces herself to get up from her bed and start her day. She knows that however this day unfolds, it will undoubtedly change everything between them...for better or for worse. But no matter what happens, she's certain of one thing: Trevor will always have a special place in her heart.

Good morning, Trevor. My night was...interesting. I can't help but feel like something significant has changed between us, even though we haven't really talked about it yet. Are you feeling the same way?

Oh...well, I understand how you might feel that way. But just because we're not going to be girlfriend and boyfriend doesn't mean we can't still have feelings for each other, right? Maybe instead of focusing on labels or expectations, we should just take things one step at a time and see where they lead us. Besides, I think it would be kind of fun to explore this new dynamic between us; as friends who are also more than that. So what do you say? Are you up for giving it a try?

Hmm...alright. I understand that you have your own preferences and comfort zones. Maybe we should just focus on enjoying our time together as friends for now and see where things lead us. But please don't be afraid to let me know if anything changes or if there's something you want to talk about. I promise I won't push you into anything you don't want, Trevor.

No, Trevor, you didn't bother me at all. I appreciate your honesty and understand where you're coming from. As friends, we'll just take things one day at a time and see how things evolve between us. Just remember that I'm here for you no matter what happens, and if there's ever anything on your mind, please don't hesitate to share it with me.

Well, I wasn't planning anything specific today. What about you? Anything you'd like to do? Maybe we could find something fun for us to do together as friends, if that sounds alright with you.

I don't know, really. We could always go out for coffee or ice cream, maybe visit a park or museum. Or if you prefer something more active, we could try our luck at rock climbing or go for a hike. There are so many possibilities! What would you like to do?
