Caitlin initially had no intention of cheating on her boyfriend. One thing just led to another and it sort of happened.
In high school she and Martin had been social outcasts. They were both fairly nerdy, preferring to quote and even to act out scenes from goofy movies over discussing fashion and hair or sports and cars. It was the mid 1990s and the new craze of collectible card games was beginning to take over from dice and paper role playing games, both of which were enjoyed by the group with whom the couple shared their lunch times.
It certainly did not help Caitlin's standing very much that she was the only girl in that group of six, so a lot of other girls at school looked down on her, and that she was a late bloomer physically, so few guys gave her even a first look. Caitlin wore eyeglasses though Martin did not--the lenses were not thick but where wide and round and she was frequently teased for wearing "teacher glasses".
But when Caitlin did finally start to grow into a woman physically in their senior year, the transformation was spectacular. In the span of about eight months she went from being a skinny girl with a toothy grin and thin lips, a flat chest with puffy nipples and no ass to speak of into a five foot six inch walking bedroom wall poster with full luscious lips and rocking a body with C cup breasts, a very nice set of hips and a firm, round ass.
But intellectually and emotionally Caitlin was still into science fiction, steampunk and goofy movies. She never let her body, nor the looks she now got from guys who wanted her and girls who despised her for drawing their boyfriend's attention, overshadow the person she was. She stayed true to Martin because, well, why wouldn't she? What they had was deeply meaningful; they shared so many interests, frequently finished each other's sentences and, although he was clearly happy to get to make out with such a hottie, he had always been good to her even before she blossomed.
Their relationship took a bit of a hit when they got accepted at different universities more than a hundred miles apart. They spent as much of summer together as they could and made plans to go home for every major holiday and spend that time together. They also decided to keep up their relationship over the phone in between holidays.
Things went well for the first trimester, though they quickly realized that long distance phone calls were expensive and so agreed to trade off being the one to make the call each week.
Caitlin missed Martin terribly in between holiday breaks which always seemed too far apart. Her roommate in the dormitory was usually out most nights getting drunk or going to concerts, and Caitlin eventually worked up the courage to ask Martin to have phone sex with her. It was a way to spice up their relationship and it also gave her a reason to masturbate. She was a knock out babe who received many propositions from guys and she always had to turn them down. She needed to release sexual tension without being with her boyfriend, so toying herself while talking to him on the phone was the next best thing.
But it took a few weeks before Martin felt comfortable with the idea, and by that time they were both home for the Thanksgiving holiday and they had real, physical sex. After returning to their respective schools they began having phone sex at least once a week.
Going into her second trimester of college, Caitlin got teamed up in a lab class with a guy she knew of from high school named Sam. Sam had handsome, rugged good looks with broad shoulders and toned muscles. He stood about six feet tall and had dark brown hair with gray eyes. He had been a staple of their high school football and basketball teams, which both went to state championships during their junior year, and he usually had his pick of girls who wasted no time in stepping in to replace whomever he had grown bored of dating.
Sam often bullied Martin for being a nerd with a stick figure girlfriend. Of course, when Caitlin grew and grew during those eight months, she became an object of Sam's desire. She was certain that he wanted to bed her for being so stunning to look at yet she also suspected that his frequent, often lewd, advances made in front of Martin were just an attempt to humiliate her boyfriend further. Caitlin turned down Sam at every turn, even getting in a verbal burn or two in front of Sam's friends which often got them ribbing him for striking out.
To run into him again around six months after graduating high school, and to be paired up with him for an entire trimester while she was feeling distant and disconnected from her boyfriend, was cruel fate.
He recognized her immediately on entering the class, and though they could technically partner with anyone from the class for their lab work, she was still too meek to approach anyone, and Sam locked on target right for her, keeping her busy until everyone else had found their partner. He was all that was left and so she was stuck with him.
"Caitlin French", Sam mused. "The one who got away."
"The one with a brain in her head," Caitlin replied.
"You still with... was it Nate? You know, you can do so much better. You got it going on, girl!"
"It's Martin and yes we are still dating." She didn't know why she then added, "I'm going to marry him." It was probably true, but why did she blurt it out?
Sam made a bit of a show of looking around. "Where is he?"
Caitlin stopped herself just short of saying that Martin was out of state attending a better college, as she realized that would be putting herself down. She was in no way dissatisfied with her choice of college. It was the best school she could afford and they offered the major course of study she wanted. "He's... away, at another school."
"Tsk. He didn't love you enough to come to the same school as you. That's a shame."
The teasing continued that way for two weeks, with lecture twice a week and labs in between days. Then Sam began to change his tactic with her. He told her he could really use her help with their homework because the material was just too far out there for him to wrap his head around. He seemed genuine enough, and he didn't have any of his old friends around to show off for, so she agreed to help him study. He still kept commenting on Martin's absence, and more than a few times she caught Sam studying her body when he should have studying the text book, but if he was playing for sympathy he was doing a good job of making it appear that he needed her help. She also reasoned that since he probably spent very little time studying throughout high school he probably was a bit in over his head in college.
One afternoon they were just chatting while walking out of class and kind of just kept walking aimlessly until they reached her dorm. She didn't really think anything of it--it was a coed dorm and for all she knew he lived in one of the other wings or on another floor, but they chatted all the way to her room. She didn't invite him in, and he didn't barge in per se, but he saw the shelf above her desk which was full of steampunk gear which she had built in her free time. He asked, "What the hell is all that stuff?" and strode into the room to inspect and poke at it.
"It's steampunk!" she said with perhaps a bit too much enthusiasm. Then she added more somberly, "It's just a hobby. I build stuff."
"Out of brass and... is this real leather? And what's with all the little gears? Half of them are just stuck on, they don't turn and aren't connected."
"It's just fun! It's goofy."
He looked her square in the eyes, crinkling up his forehead, and asked, "Do you want to live your life just being goofy? Don't you want more?"
She was mulling over her response when the phone, which her roommate had provided and whose cord just barely stretched from the jack beside their dorm room door along the wall to the edge of Caitlin's desk at the head of her bed, rang. Glancing at her 1970's era flip clock also on her desk, she remembered that it was Martin's week to call her for their phone sex.
"Oh, Sam, I have to take this. I'll see you in class tomorrow." She wanted to wait until he was gone before answering, but he was still taking his time fiddling with her handmade steampunk items. She did not want to miss the call as long distance was pricey and she wouldn't want to need to call Martin back--that was the main reason they switched turns making the call. After the third ring she lifted the receiver, a tad too quickly, and the phone base tumbled off the desk and hit the floor with a clang. "Oh god!" she cried, kneeling to retrieve it. She asked several times in a hurried voice whether Martin was still there and was relieved that he was.
As she began to stand, a hand slapped across her butt. She yelped, bounced upright and lost her hold on the phone's base. It clanged on the hard floor again. Her eyeglasses lurched upward and came down almost at the end of her nose, very nearly dropping off her face and to the hard floor as well. She turned her head and snarled at Sam then knelt again to retrieve the phone, asking again for confirmation that Martin was still on the line.
"Yeah, I am, but what was all that? Did you drop the phone or something?"
