girl who fainted on
day one won’t I?’
    ‘At least people won’t forget you
in a hurry.’
    ‘True, very true. Maybe it will
work to my advantage after all, see I now have a new friend just because of
it.’
    He smiled again as he sat next to
me and unpacked his bag. He was about 5’10”, slightly built with glossy black
hair, very dark chocolate brown eyes. He was really good looking, though came
in second place to Gabe, Gabe was top of the premier league. Two attractive
guys in two days, I was doing well.
    ‘Milo, is that Spanish?’
    ‘No, Italian on my mum’s side.’
    ‘Ahhhh, that’s where the dark good
looks come from,’ I smiled as I twirled my hair around my finger.
    ‘If you’re flirting with me, I’d
better warn you my girlfriend Jenny’s the jealous type and rather feisty,’ he
grinned.
    ‘Story of my life Milo when I met
an attractive guy. Well we’ll have to settle for friends then. Italian huh? See
its kismet, as I love pizza and pasta. Plus I don’t do attached guys, not my
style. I hate it when girls fight with all that wrestling and hair pulling and
stuff.’
    ‘Now that I wouldn’t mind
seeing, especially if skimpy swimwear were being worn,’ he said with a twinkle
in his eye.
    ‘If you’re now flirting with me, I
better warn you that I too have a feisty girlfriend.’
    ‘Hot, brunette, sharp witted and a
lesbian? All of my fantasies rolled into one.’
    ‘Noooo,’ I laughed. ‘She’s just my
over protective best friend and roommate. I’m most definitely into men.’ I
liked Milo, he seemed fun.
    ‘Good to know. Well as we’re being
so honest, if I wasn’t attached you’d be just my type.’
    ‘Then as you’re unavailable, maybe
we should agree to be each other’s back up plans.’
    ‘You’re on, backups we’ll be,’ he
pronounced and we shook on it.
    ‘Sssshhhh.’ The girl in front scowling
at us didn’t look happy at all. I decided that there were a lot of serious
people here at Uni and I sighed, flirting time was over.
     
    I filled Lexi in on my new friend
as we microwaved some popcorn for our dinner. It was the most action the
kitchen had seen since we moved in.
    ‘I am impressed Mia, two in one
day. We’ll be popping your cherry before the weeks out,’ she grinned.
    ‘Lex,’ I giggled as I shoulder
bumped her. ‘So what film have you chosen for our Tuesday movie night?’
    ‘I’m thinking “You’re gonna make a
terrific character Nick.”’
    I answered without hesitation, ‘Basic
Instinct.’
    ‘O she shoots, she scores in one.
An excellent choice to get you started and into the mind-set of a conniving
seductress.’
    ‘I want to sleep with the guy, not
flash him my snatch then ice pick him to death. Ok how about … “Wood or Wire,
they have both?”’
    ‘The bloody Graduate?’
    ‘Damn it you’re good, I’ve been
saving that quote for ages. What’s wrong with The Graduate?’
    ‘Besides being so old it’s
prehistoric, it’s the wrong way round. You’re the innocent virgin and he’s the
experienced seductor. Ok let’s go with – “Bring the dog. I love animals … I’m a
great cook.”’
    ‘Too easy, Fatal Attraction and
talk about old,’ I said shaking my head.
    ‘It’s not that old, besides there’s
a reason Fatal Attraction’s a classic.’
    ‘That’s two Michael Douglas movies
in a row Lex. Do we have a bit of a crush?’
    ‘Mia, he’s still a dish, but he’s
old enough to be my grandfather,’ she said looking horrified.
    ‘Anyway it’s the death theme again.
I don’t plan on turning psychotic over a few encounters with the guy.’
    ‘Ok – “How did you know? How did
you know I’d respond to you the way I have?”’ Lexi said clutching her heart
dramatically.
    ‘9 ½ weeks and it was my turn to
quote you cheat, so you forfeit and I win this week’s round.’ I grinned
triumphantly.
    ‘Damn it,’ she moaned. ‘Well 9 ½
weeks seemed an appropriate topic, man corrupting woman with erotic
