Every job has its perks; mine was no exception. I was an assistant manager for a store in the mall, and got perks like a store discount and a mall employee discount. The ladies at the Ancient Orient Chinese restaurant in the food court would hook me up with overloaded to-go boxes for dinner. My frat brother Josh worked as a cook at the Chik-Fil-A, and he gave me free chicken sandwiches whenever I wanted. I spent my free time on breaks watching movies with the crew at Camelot Music, or playing video games over at Babbage's. My best perk though, by far, was all the girls. I was a freshman in college, and, being a college town, there were girls EVERYWHERE! I had a never-ending stream of high school and college honeys to wade through like a cool, refreshing creek on a warm, summer day.
Now normally, during the school year, it was easy to pick up chicks. I had pledged during Greek Rush to the Beta Psi Delta house, and hanging out at frat parties was sure to get a guy laid, but I'm a pretty hard-headed guy, and I love a challenge. That challenge came in the form of three girls that stayed in town over Christmas break, and that's what this story is all about.
You see, I had decided that going home over the break was stupid. I wouldn't be able to work, because a transfer took time and paperwork, only to transfer back next semester. With this in mind, I chose to stay in town for the break to make the extra money. Little did I realize how great an idea that would turn out to be.
It all started out when my study buddy Vanessa hooked me up with her roommate Nicole. About three weeks before the Fall Semester's end there was a big drama production on campus with a black tie party afterward: the Winter Theater Formal. Vanessa and I were in BioChem 102, and hung out a lot to both study and party, but being such good friends made dating a ridiculous prospect. One night, while studying at the student commons, she mentioned that Nicole's boyfriend had broke it off when he left for the Marines, so lately Nickie (as she went by) had been moping around and could really use a pick-me-up. I called their dorm room that evening and asked for Nickie, and sure enough, she accepted my invitation to the formal. This jump started my relationship with Nickie, taking us from acquaintances to friends, and she soon made it very apparent that she saw possibilities of us being more. I had a pretty busy schedule between school and work, though, so we hung out often, but I didn't push the issue.
Nickie decided to stay in town to work over the break, too, so I mentioned to her about maybe "getting closer" over the break. I already had plans to house sit for a senior frat brother who lived out in town. He had a pet bird, so if I took care of the bird then I could crash at his place for the break while he was visiting his girlfriend's family. Nickie was sharing an apartment near the mall where I worked, but before I had a chance to mess around with Nickie, things started getting complicated.
You see, as my store ramped up hours for the holiday season, we started to need more employees. The store manager sat down with me and Craig, the other assistant manager, and we hashed out a plan to hire three new part-time sales associates and two stock boys. One of these new sales associates was a little Italian girl named Andrea.
Andrea was cute in looks and vocal about everything. As I got to know her, I soon realized she was a sorority girl and a bit of a slut, and I found her at every party around campus, drunk off her ass, hitting on anything with a dick. What more did I need to know? Now I know what you're thinking: but she works for you, it's wrong to sleep with an employee. Sure, you're right, and that's why I did the best thing in this situation: I told Andrea about a job at a cell phone kiosk that was paying more money, then fired her, and promptly invited her, as a new non-employee, to a party at my condo complex as my date. She laughed at me, and said she would love to go. I figured I was home free: Nickie was working the night of the party, Andrea would show up and get wasted, and I would still get some ass...or would I?
It turned out that Andrea invited her sophomore sorority sister Joyce to the party, too. Normally not an issue, except Joyce was Andrea's "sponsor sister", so she felt she was somewhat responsible for Andrea's conduct. She had heard of Andrea's antics, and decided to tag along and see firsthand if they were true. Are you thinking cock-block? Yeah, I was too when I found out.
So the night of the party rolls around, Andrea and Joyce showed up at my place, and we were heading out to the pool area in the courtyard between all the condos when Andrea asked me where my bathroom was. I pointed to the hallway off the living room, and said, "First door on the right."
"On the right or the left? Can't you just show me?" she said as she tugged at my arm. I pointed Joyce out the sliding glass doors to the back patio, then took Andrea to the bathroom. She pulled me inside with her and shut the door.
"Look, I really need your help tonight," she said.
"Why, what's wrong?"
"I'm kinda on probation with my sorority, that's why Joyce came along tonight. They said I'm giving the house a bad name, so she's here to see just how I act at these parties."
