I (M19) had been friends with Nick (19) for years. We played video games and high-school baseball together and became roommates in College. Our friendship worked because we were both loners who liked the same things.
At the time, Nick had been with his girlfriend Lisa (F19) for three years. She was a cute brunette, about 5'3 120lbs with light freckles, modest B cups, toned legs, and a big and firm ass. Since we had all gone to the same school and Nick and I now lived together, we had hung out as a group pretty often. Usually I'd be the third wheel, but sometimes I'd bring a new girl along for double dates.
One week during the summer after our freshman year, we had planned for a Saturday beach day. Bianca (F21), Lisa's older sister, and her friends were going to be there and Lisa asked Nick and I if we wanted to go, adding that anyone I brought with me would be welcome too. I love the beach and said yes immediately. Nick said his dad had planned a trip to Las Vegas for this weekend and had just asked him to go, so he couldn't make it.
On Friday morning Nick left our apartment to go to the airport for his trip. Later that afternoon I got a text from Lisa asking if she could come by the apartment tomorrow morning and carpool with me to the beach since she wanted to smoke. I agreed and let her know no one else was coming with me as I wasn't seeing anyone at the time. Lisa said that's good, maybe one of her sisters friends was single.
Saturday morning arrived and Lisa showed up wearing a nearly transparent white coverup over a teal bikini. I met her downstairs (we lived on the third floor) and took her into the garage to my car.
At the beach there were six of us. Lisa, Bianca, Bianca's three girl friends, and me. I was in really good shape at the time and felt one of Bianca's friends staring at me every time I came out of the ocean from swimming under the waves. On my third trip back to the towels we had set up, this friend who I learned was named Isabel, took out a joint and sparked it. Then on cue, we all moved our towels into a circle facing each other.
Isabel was on my left and took a long drag then passed it to me. I would have smoked if I wasn't driving so I just passed to Bianca on my right who took a couple small quick hits. Soon enough everyone was lounging on their towels and laughing. Lisa who was now sitting across from me was giggling constantly with one of Bianca's friends when Isabel turned to me and started up a conversation. Something about our majors being so similar- Film for me and Psychology for her. She was pretty. She must have been part British and part something like Spanish or Brazilian because she had the English accent with brown hair, brown eyes, and very tanned skin.
"You're single, right?" Isabel asked bemused. I slowly nodded in the affirmative unsure what was going to come next given the dilation of her pupils. She smiled, closed her eyes, and put her hand on my thigh. I froze hoping she'd move it up a little bit. For a second I thought she had fallen asleep, but after a couple beats she exhaled, opened her eyes and asked why I wasn't smoking.
"Because I'm the DD for her," I said pointing at Lisa. "But if you need a ride too I'd be happy to help."
Isabel made a slight effort to look in Lisa's direction then laughed and moved her hand up and down my leg. Hell yes!
"Really? You'd ride me home?" She asked with a stunted and snorting laugh. "I'd like that, but I live in the Valley."
"It's no..." I started to say, until Lisa butt in from across the circle.
"I left my car at Ben and Nicks and actually need to be home by 6 to get ready for work."
Here I was about to potentially get lucky with this pretty English/Spanish girl and my best friends girlfriend had had to ruin it. I fumed privately.
"Awe too bad, next time then," Isabella said as she started to get up.
Soon after we all packed up our towels, umbrella, trash, cooler, and headed to the cars. Lisa and I waved bye to the others, loaded up the car and set off back to the apartment.
"That was fun, thanks for taking me and being my designated driver while Nick is gone."
"No problem! I had fun too; good thing you stopped that super hot Isabella girl from coming with us," I sassed.
"Oh come on, she's a slut Ben! You don't want that trust me."
"How do you know?!"
She laughed, "OK OK I'm sorry."
It took half an hour but we finally made it back to Nick and I's apartment. Lisa asked to come up and use Nick's shower to wash off all the sand and sober up a bit before she went home. I of course said yes.
Our apartment was a 2 bedroom and 2 bath with a living room and kitchen in the center dividing both sleeping and washroom areas. Once inside I went over to my side to shower and Lisa went over to Nick's. In my bathroom I undressed, turned on the shower and got in. With a few pumps of shampoo I began washing my hair when I heard a knock and then the sound of my bathroom door opening. This was literally my nightmare Psycho scenario and I froze.
"Hey, Ben sorry there are no fresh towels in Ben's shower can I use one of yours?"
