Thin rays of morning sunshine peered into Korey's darkened room. He rolled onto his side and rummaged across his nightstand to find his phone. With an effortless click, he turns on the display to show that it is a little bit after 6. Groaning, he sits up and retrieves his glasses. As he makes his way to his bathroom, he fixes his blackout curtains.
Hot, refreshing water cascades down his back as he leans against the wall. He wants the warming embrace to last forever, but eventually the water turns to a frigid cold. Wrapping a plush towel around his waist as he leaves the steam filled bathroom. He carefully makes his way to the kitchen and starts the coffee maker, before heading back upstairs to get dressed.
He puts on a pair of jeans and a tight, form fitting compression shirt. At 180 pounds, he wasn't the biggest guy in the world, but he consistently worked out and it showed. In high school, he competed in Football, Wrestling and Track and Field which he held multiple school records in.
Silently, he heads back downstairs to the kitchen where he pours a steaming cup of coffee. Standing with his back to door, he scrolls through the news on his tablet. 15 minutes pass before he hears the light footfalls of his roommate coming down the stairs.
"Good morning, Korey," she proclaims enthusiastically as she pours herself a cup of coffee.
"Good morning, Sarah," he answers as he turns to face her.
Her hazel eyes meet his as they look at each other. Sarah may have been his roommate, but Korey had fallen in love with her as soon as they had met for the first time. He loved the way her hazel colored eyes twinkled when she was excited. She laughs drawing him out of his thoughts.
"Staring again. I have got classes at 10, You?" she asks as drops her now empty mug into the sink.
"Sorry. I have classes at 11. Do you want a ride?" He asks, feeling slightly embarrassed that he had once again been caught staring at her.
"Yes," she answers as she sashays out of the kitchen.
