"Who's that," I asked Georges, my buddy and roommate. I was mesmerized by the sight of a blond goddess across the dining hall. She was pretty, not stunningly beautiful but clearly athletic, which was given away by the fact she was still in her field hockey uniform. It had only been three weeks since I transferred to this university from my local community college for the remaining two years of my bacaulaurite degree. I hadn't had a steady girlfriend back home but Georges already knew I enjoyed viewing women. It was a guy thing.
"Oh, man, Kevin, you want to stay away from her," Georges replied, any hint of his Hungarian ancestory long assimilated out of his family. "She's bad news."
"Why? What do you mean by that," I asked, a little confused at his reaction.
"Well, that is Diana Kendrow, she is captain of the field hockey team. Good-looking, sure, but she has a bit of a reputatation." Georges looked part conspirator when he said that and part gossip columnist.
"A reputation for what?" I persisted. Georges knew we were too far down the path of this tale to stop now, so as we sat down to eat, he continued. "I know a couple of guys who dated her. According to them, she demands that any boyfriend of hers must be willing to down on her."
I found this line of conversation so far a little silly. So, she likes oral sex. Big deal. In this day and age it is virtually a requirement for both partners to be willing in that department. I told Georges that.
"No, no, no, you don't understand. Apparently, she is very particular about how it is done. She insists on squeezing your head with her thighs. Hard. The guys I know have nicknamed her Brain-Busting Diana. She doesn't date much anymore, I don't think."
Little did Georges know at that moment was how much that last piece of information intrigued and excited me. I am the type of guy who likes it when a woman takes physical charge in the bedroom, although I dared not share that detail with anyone I knew. Most people would think I am just weird. I got a hard-on right there. I knew I had to speak with Diana, and hoped she gave me the time of day, but I didn't want to do it then and there. I waited until our meal--and Diana's--was over. Georges had to rush off to class but I lingered until Diana was finished so I could speak to her.
As I caught up with her going out of the dining hall, I realized that what Georges told me was not a trivial thing. I am 5'8" and average weight and build. Not particularly athletic but not a couch potato either. Diana, on the other hand, was clearly in good physical shape. She was a bit taller at 5'10", looked to be about 150lbs, had sculpted, muscular legs and a very tight, albeit not small butt.
"Hi," I said, catching up with her and matching her stride, "my name is Kevin, Kevin Cromwell. I am pretty new to the school." Diana gave me a sidewards glance without moving her head or changing her pace or her expression.
"So?" was all she offered.
I swallowed. She of course wasn't making this easy. "Uh, well, I confess I was admiring you from afar during lunch and was, uh, wondering if you'd like to go out to dinner or something on Friday."
Her answer was crisp, almost slashing. "You were sitting with Georges Siminches. You're his new roommate, I gather. I am not particularly fond of him--or some of his friends."
I felt embarassed and a bit ashamed for Georges. "Well, yes, he does tend to gossip. I am sorry. If it is any consolation, I didn't pick him as a roommate, he was assigned to me."
She continued walking but didn't tell me to go away. She then asked: "He didn't tell you about my 'reputation' yet or the 'nickname' then or you wouldn't be here trying to keep up with me."
It was partially true. Her legs were longer than mine and they made it easier for her to keep a fast, steady pace while I had to scramble a bit. It was now or never. She opened the door very fast, so I needed to walk through it.
"Actually, he did tell me about your nickname and what it supposedly means. It is kinda why I am here." Diana stopped and turned on me skeptically.
"Oh, really? Why? If you are trying to embarass me, forget it. You're friends did that last semester." Her eyes bore right through me as she had the height advantage as well as slightly higher ground.
"I wasn't here last semester and my 'friends' don't know I am talking to you right now, unless they're looking at us." I lowered my voice. "I just think we would have fun together. I am willing to play by your rules, be a water boy to you the star athlete." I felt proud at my poetry, such as it was, and being able to play on something she is obviously proud of.
Diana looked at me for a long time. "Okay, fine, I'll have dinner with you. But that's all. Any 'fun' I decide to have will have to wait to see if I like you. But I will warn you right now, if we go down this path, you had better be prepared to live up to your responsibilities when the time comes or I'll REALLY hurt you." With that she wrote her dorm room number on a slip of paper and gave it me. "Pick me up at 7:00 pm sharp at Friday. Don't be late. I'll decide where we're going then."
The look of excitement and joy on my face must have been very obvious because Diana's expression softened and then she added: "It would be nice to date someone with mutual 'special interests' for change. At this conservative school, it hasn't happened."
"I know what you mean." And with that she walked on, leaving me barely able to contain myself for the rest of the week.
Friday Night
It was an interminable three days waiting for Friday. I ran across Diana several times during the week but she barely gave me any glance of recognition. When Friday arrived I knocked on her dorm room at 7:00 pm sharp. I had to restrain myself from knocking too much or too loud, to avoid a spectacle in Diana's hallway. She answered herself. All seniors get a single room if they want one, but I, as a transfer student and a junior, still had to share a room. Diana looked nice but clearly hadn't gone to a lot of trouble for our date. She didn't wear much makeup, not that she needed it but did wear a pair of jeans (which I noticed were nicely tight fitting), a university sweatshirt, and a pair of black ankle boots with a slight heel.
"Hi," was her only greeting. "Come in." I went in but Diana left the door slightly ajar. "Do you have a car?"
"In fact, I do."
I explained that I had gone to community college for two years to save money, as I was putting myself through school. But it required the additional expense of a car to get to and from classes.
Diana nodded approvingly. "Good, in that case we'll go to the Phoenicia. Great food, nice atmosphere. I'll drive. Come." And with that she walked out and waited for me somewhat impatiently to exit so she could lock the door.
Dinner went very well. Diana was a great conversationalist and we had no trouble filling up the time with a variety of topics. There was a never a hint, however, of the topic that seemingly (to me) brought us together in the first place.
After dinner was over, Diana suggested we see a late movie. I readily agreed and she selected the new thriller that was out. Not the science fiction or action movie I might have chosen, but at least it wasn't a chick flick. By the time we returned to her dorm, it was very late. As we approached the outside door, Diana whirled on me and said: "Kevin, I have really enjoyed our evening. With that, she took both her hands and grabbed the sides of my head and gave me a goodnight kiss. It was a gentle, yet forceful and controlling action.
"Same time next Friday, Kevin, and don't be late." She turned back towards her dorm. "Oh, and one more thing, be a gentleman."
She didn't specify, but I knew what she meant. I wasn't to go talking about the details of our date to anyone. I could do that. I had a really good feeling about the evening, about her, about everything. I would do nothing to blow it. Nevertheless, during the week, Diana never gave me the time of day, although on the few ocasions our eyes did meet, she gave slight smile.
Next Friday took agonizingly forever to arrive. When it finally did, I rapped on her dorm room door at 7:00 pm sharp. Somewhat to my disappointment, Diana was dressed the same as she had been the previous week. But no matter, we went out again and had a great time. Again, however, Diana initiated no conversation on any subject that even remotely touched on sex. I figured she was going to keep testing me for awhile. But when it came time to say goodnight, Diana grabbed the hair on the back of head, pushed and held me in front of her face for a long deep penetrating kiss while at the same time using her free hand to grab my right wrist and twist my arm behind my back. It was a domination kiss if there ever was one!
"Same time next Friday, sport!" was all she said once she let go of me and disappeared inside her dorm.
All week I felt a little like I was in a time warp. Friday seemed to take forever to arrive but when it did, it felt a little anticlimatic because I wasn't sure anything was going to happen. Diana and I seemed very compatible: it was obvious we shared many interests in common. We had no trouble carrying conversations on all night long, but the shadow of our would-be sex life loomed over it all for me. Worse, I had no idea what Diana was thinking. Around campus we would occasionally see each other and while this past week she did not ignore me, nor did she ever do much more than occasionally wave or give me a smile. Diana was clearly a private person, though, because none of her friends took any special notice of me either when we passed each other. Clearly, Diana, unlike many women, did not discuss her private life with many people, if any.
When I picked Diana up for the third week a row, she again drove and this time we went rather afar from campus to nice, quiet restaurant. This time, however, Diana steered our conversation rather quickly to the issue of sex.
"Kevin," she started quietly, after we had given the waiter our orders, "I have enjoyed our time together very much. You seem to be a much higher calibre gentleman than some of the people you associate with." Georges had really pissed her off apparently!
