Happy Birthday Max
College life was off to a good start. As expected, Max excelled academically while Linda focused more on her social life. However, the young man was always willing to help tutor her, just as he did in high school.
Max was getting the hang of life away from his parents. He became closer with his soccer friends, including Allie. Though he had a group of friends, he looked forward to seeing his parents since his birthday was approaching.
Linda was also excited to head home. She missed her parents and friends, but she was mostly looking forward to giving Max a birthday present. And by birthday present, she meant really spicy birthday sex.
"I'm sad that you're leaving for the weekend," her roommate Patricia said as they got ready for class. "There's going to be a big party and I'm sure Jake will be looking for you."
"I wish I could go, but it's Max's birthday. I told my parents I would come home whenever he does."
"I totally get it. Are you going to hang out with him?"
"Probably not," Linda answered, dishonestly. "I'm just going to hang out with my friend Jesse. Oh my God, you guys should meet each other someday! She would love you!"
Patricia just laughed. She still found it odd that her roommate spent so much time with Max. She suspected that something had to be going on. However, Jake was still the obvious choice for her friend.
Linda didn't know why she couldn't confess her affairs with Max. She had already told Jesse, but she found it too complicated to tell her roommate. Ever since meeting Jake, she struggled to talk about her childhood friend to anyone that knew the hot stud.
The young brunette even contemplated stopping her sexual endeavors with her neighbor. She realized it was unfair to him, knowing she was developing feelings for someone else. Though she had always been honest about their friends-with-benefits situation, it was proving to be much more challenging than she imagined.
It sounded stupid to the young woman. There was no comparison between the two guys. However, Max treated her so well that she actually considered being with him over a hot guy like Jake.
She shook off her worries and focused on the exciting and intimate weekend coming up. Through the next few days Linda sexted Max, just like they used to during the Summer. They could both feel the nostalgia as they tried to figure out when they could be alone again.
"My parents are going to be home all weekend, so my house is unavailable," Max texted.
"I think my parents are going somewhere during the day, but I'll see you that night, anyway."
"You will?"
"Your parents invited us over for dinner."
"Oh, that will be fun."
"But hopefully I'll get to see you earlier than that," Linda texted with a winking face.
"I hope so too."
"Max..."
"Yeah?"
"I hope you're ready."
"Ready for what?"
"We're going to have a lot of fun."
"What does that mean?"
"You'll see..."

Friday evening, after Max and Linda were done with their classes, they traveled together to their hometown. They spent most of the drive talking about their classes and what it was like to be away from home.
Time flew by as they both enjoyed each other's company. It didn't really make sense to them, but they enjoyed their time outside of sex as much as they did their intimate time. They had different hobbies, different friends, and different interests. But for some reason, they still enjoyed their time together, talking about anything.
They were both happy to get home and be with their parents. They missed their families so much and were excited to tell them all about college.
Linda's best friend, Jesse, was also in town and came over to visit. When she arrived, they screamed and embraced each other in a big hug.
"So, how's your school?" Linda asked.
"It's pretty fun. A lot of cute guys! How about your school?"
"Such a blast!" Linda expressed. "And yes, a lot of hot guys."
"Do you have your eye on any of them?" Jesse asked.
"There's this one guy, his name is Jake. I met him at a frat party."
Jesse gave her best friend a playful slap on the shoulder. "Ohhh, a frat guy?"
"Yeah, he's like a big part of their organization. He runs their parties and stuff."
"Sounds like an older guy."
"He's actually a graduate. He just stays around to help the fraternity."
"Look at you! Only a few months in and you already got yourself an older man?"
"I'm not really with him," Linda clarified. "But he is really hot, so I've been talking to him."
"He must be interested if he's giving you his time."
"I don't know about that. He could just be a player."
"You know how to handle yourself. He should be the lucky one."
"Thanks, Jesse. I love how you always support me."
Her best friend smiled because she was always happy to help. However, Jesse was curious about Linda's fuck-buddy. "So, what's going on with you and max?"
"Oh, Max?" Linda said, trying to buy time. "Nothing much..."
"Are you still having sex?"
"Umm... we are," Linda admitted. "But it's nothing more than that."
"Why not?" Jesse asked out of curiosity. "Is he still not your type?"
"We really don't have anything in common... He's a nice guy, but Jake is more my type."
Suddenly, Linda's phone vibrated several times, causing her to look at her messages. Much to her surprise, it was Patricia, giving her an update about Jake.
Jesse could see the excitement on her best friend's face. "What's going on?"
"It's my roommate. She's at the same party as Jake and he is asking about me."
"Really?!" Jesse asked cheerfully.
Linda's grin went from ear to ear. "Yeah! She said he's bummed out that I didn't show up."
"Oh my God, I told you! Everybody thinks you're a catch."
