Ben had settled into student life better than he had anticipated. He was in his second year and the work was getting steadily more taxing but he had been told to expect that. What made it bearable was being the only bloke in a house share with three third year girls. Their previous housemate had moved out in the summer to live with her boyfriend and the three had placed an ad in the student's union for a new housemate. Because the house was located a fair distance from the university -- but more importantly from where the bars were -- Ben was only one of two to put his name forward and the other person was another bloke so the girls had resigned themselves to having a smelly boy live with them. Or more appropriately, spread the house rental.
Ben had quickly established himself as not being smelly and being very affable -- running errands for them, catching the many spiders in the house and such. In fact, they quickly got used to his presence that they slipped into their old ways of last year and it wasn't unusual to catch them walking around in their underwear. He knew about girl's bodies but brushed it off, after all he had a couple of flings in his first year but was way too young to think he'd find the one he would settle down with at this point in his life.
As the last to join the established house he had ended up with the smallest bedroom which suited him fine; it was after all what he was used to at home being the youngest brother. His route to his room took him past Daniella's room and he could frequently hear her talking to her boyfriend via Zoom. Gareth was also in his third year but his chosen profession had meant attending a university on the opposite coast meaning they rarely got to meet up in person. Ben assumed that it would have been frustrating for both and he wasn't far from the truth. Being in the room next to his, he didn't think Daniella knew that the two vents to the rooms were so close to each other that if one stood near the vent, they could hear what was going on in the next room.
Ben found himself curious initially but it became something of a fixation for him when Daniella was in her room on her own. She was very tall, certainly taller than Ben, very slim and lithe and was there on a scholarship for her achievements on the athletics field, all be it her degree, like Ben's, was Business. The brunette was very pretty, not exactly curvy in the traditional sense of the word but it was her long well-toned legs that held Ben's attention when they were in either the living room of kitchen/dining room crossing and uncrossing her legs.
Ben had overheard her over the last few weeks while on these Zoom calls and it was becoming increasingly obvious that Daniella was getting frustrated. She was getting more sullen and withdrawn around the house but only Ben knew why. It had been obvious that the two used these video calls as mutual masturbation sessions, it seemed Daniella had quite a high sex drive but the last four or so sessions had seen Gareth get off before Daniella had which prompted him to lose interest in Daniella's predicament while she was left hanging. This rankled Ben as he was all about being fair; it had been something his family had insisted on and, being the youngest, it's something he had gained perhaps more than his older siblings.
He had been late returning from Uni today and had probably missed today's session, as he walked past her room door, he could clearly make out Daniella's voice "Grrrrr, Gareth no. Don't leave me hanging again."
He listened closely and could just make out her boyfriend's reply 'Sorry babe, I gotta go. The guys are waiting for me, Bye."
"Aaahhh, no, no, no" came his housemates anguished reply. There was the sound of something that resembled a pillow being beaten by fists then the words "You can't keep doing this to me" followed by the sound of her crying. Not just crying but deep down weeping. Ben tentatively knocked on her door. There was momentary silence followed by an anguished "Go away."
Ben knocked again and this time announced himself "Dani, it's me Ben. I was just walking back to my room when I heard you crying. Let me in so I can talk to you."
"Go away" came the anguished reply once again.
He stood resolute "Not going to happen. I know you are frustrated with Gareth so let me in and I can see if I can help. Put across the bloke side if you like."
"Go away, you'll only blab. I don't want everyone knowing my business." She wailed at him. It was the sort of wail where the person was struggling to draw breath between gasps.
