What A Night
Stephanie Ostrov
"Yo man hand me a slice of that," said Steve
"So what are we doing tonight guys, I was thinking either going to the bars to scope out the chicas, or get some beers and watch the game?"
"Well I bet Dave will be too busy with Morgan to go out with us," said Tommy one of the Kappa boys.
"Shut up you homo, Morgan and I hang out on my terms not hers," I said firmly. I am so up for checking out the new girls that just got into Gamma. I grabbed a piece of pizza and went out the door. I could hear Tommy yelling in the background, "Dave you�re coming out tonight to the sorority house if you like it or not."
As I was walking up the fraternity stairs, I thought to myself of course I�m going. I�m not going put my life on hold and not do something I want with my friends just to please Morgan. The way I feel for her is hard to explain, I do care about her but I want to be able to do what I want without being lectured. It makes it seem like I don�t care about her, I keep saying I do, but sometimes I wonder do I really? Morgan and I had been a couple for almost two years. Don�t ask me how I�ve kept a girlfriend for so long. I am in a fraternity, and always have beautiful girls around me. I could get any girl that I lay eyes on, not to be conceited. But Morgan and I me have known each other all our lives. We have good times, and yes there are bad times too.
I decided to listen to Tommy and go out for a few with the guys. Morgan did not like that idea very much. She always wants to hang out all-day and everyday. She wants to do cute things as she calls them, like candlelight dinners, picnics, and snuggling while watching television, a movie, usually a chic flick. I mean come on; on a Saturday night do I want to sit home and watch some chic flick, or hang out with my boys and have a couple brewskies. Do you know how long I would get harassed if I told the brothers I couldn�t go to the bars because I had to sit home and watch Dirty Dancing? I�ll tell you right now that will never happen.
The night was finally here, we had a party with Gamma in honor of the new sisters. I saw one of the sisters glancing over in my direction. I�ve seen her around campus a few times, but never thought much of it. She is kind of cute, I thought to myself. Morgan decided to have a girl�s night out, so I was free for a few hours to hang with my crew. Morgan and I sometimes meet up at the bars later on in the night. I told her I would see her when the party was done. We�ll see if I keep that promise tonight. I had other things on my mind. The Gamma girl started walking toward me.
"Hey there, looking good", said the Gamma girl as she gave me a seductive look.
I had only a couple seconds to think of a smooth line when all that came out was,
"Don�t you know it baby", Umm� did I say that out loud, I thought? Oh god she is going to think I�m such a nerd who replies with a comment like that.
The next thing I knew she was giggling while giving me a flirtatious glance.
"So are you here alone," she asked.
"Nah, I�m here with the boys."
"Oh, I meant are you here with that girl?"
" What girl?"
"The girl that is always with you on campus."
"Oh, so you see me around campus do you."
"Anyways, lets not worry about her. Why don�t I go and get us another round of drinks", I said with a chuckle. I quickly answered, trying to get off the subject of my girlfriend. As we were talking I started thinking about Morgan and how she was waiting for me at the bar. I felt bad that I am spending time with another girl, and thought to myself that, I really don�t miss Morgan but feel more guilty making her wait for me downtown. Most people would say that it is time for me to get rid of her. But there�s something about her that I do love, and don�t want to let go. I may not admit to the guys my real feelings for her; maybe it is because I am trying to convince myself that I still love her. Sarah, the Gamma girl asked me if I wanted to go upstairs and see her room. You know what that means. There is something new, and mysterious about this girl that makes me attracted to her. I could say stupid things around her, as you just witnessed and she laughed like I was the funniest person around. I decided to go upstairs with her and take a tour of her room. Take a tour of her bed maybe. As we walked up the Gamma�s spiral staircase I was thinking about how I could get lucky if I wanted to. This girl had the hots for me I could tell. I looked at my watch and realized I was not going to meet Morgan at the bar. By the time I would get there she would already be gone. I decided to hang around the sorority house for a little while longer. Who knows if I am going to regret this decision? It seems right as we walked up the stairs, but I have a weird feeling inside that I can�t let go. Could it be my conscience telling me that Morgan is something special and I will regret losing her, or is it just nerves hoping I can get it up after all I drank?
"Wake up, Wake up you can�t stay here", is what I heard as I woke up after a great night. I looked over to see this beautiful girl with the biggest grin on her face. I could tell the decision I made last night was the right one. I�m glad my heart took over my hormones. I thought to myself the minute I see Morgan I am going to get yelled at for standing her up at the bar. As I continued to walk home last night I realized that she is something special and I shouldn�t care what the brothers think. It is time I stop fronting because I do care for her. I do like being able to do my own thing but at the same time I need to admit I do care for her and make it known. I am a little upset I didn�t get a piece from the sorority chick, Morgan would never of known. I am glad I left before something happened; I guess my conscience kicked in and made me think of Morgan.
"Come on hunny, you have to go. My parents are coming any minute. Don�t you remember I told you a week ago?" They are coming up for the day, and my dad will kill you if he sees you in bed with me." By the way I didn�t forget that you stood me up at the bar last night. I will deal with that later, after the rents leave.
Maybe Dirty Dancing isn�t so bad after all, I said to myself.
