It was my first week away at college, and freshman orientation was in full swing. The sweet smell of teenage emancipation was in the air. Those hot August days in Alabama only exaggerated the sexual tension between the barely legal coeds. Of course I had come to college to get and education, but that was secondary to indulging in my share of sexual escapades. Hundreds of miles away from the watchful eyes of my parents, I intended to capitalize on every opportunity that my newfound freedom afforded me.
After the first week of classes I was beat, and a little disappointed that I hadn't made a love connection yet. I made it back to my dorm at about 3:30, and dropped my keys and books on the bed. I noticed that the red message button was flashing on the answering machine. I was surprised to hear an unfamiliar male voice.
"Um..hello, this message is for Nina. My name is Richie, and I'm in your psychology class. I missed the lecture this morning and I was wondering if I could borrow your notes. My number is 5743. I hope you don't mind me calling. Thanks in advance. Bye."
Richie's voice was sexy and deep with a little hint of shyness. The slow and deliberate way he spoke had already begun to turn me on. I had a feeling that we would be sharing more than just class notes. In an attempt to remember what Richie might look like, I scanned my memory. I laid across my bed, allowing my mind to drift away for a bit imagining the possibilities. After a few moments I decided to call Richie back. I took a deep breath and waited nervously as the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"May I speak with Richie please?"
"This is Richie."
"Hi, this is Nina. You called me earlier about the psych notes."
"Hey, well thanks for callin' me back, 'cause I really need those notes for the quiz on Monday. When would be a good time for me to swing by and get them?"
"Well I'm all done with classes for today, so anytime this evening would be fine."
"You mean to tell me you aren't going out on a Friday night?"
"No, I have some work I wanna get done."
"Oh I see. Well if its okay with you I'll be by at 8:00 to pick up the notes. I can have them back to you in the morning."
"Okay that's fine. I'll see you then. I'm in Douglas Hall room 211."
"See ya at eight. Bye."
"Bye."

Richie called me from the lobby of my dorm promptly at eight. A few minutes before, I had changed into a tank top and my favorite pair of jeans. I took a quick glance in the mirror, admiring how my top was the perfect length, allowing my navel ring to peek out when I moved. I dabbed a quick touch of gloss to my lips and headed downstairs to the lobby. There was a steady stream of students coming and going. I searched the room for anybody who looked like they were looking for someone.
A familiar, dark-skinned guy dressed in jeans and a basketball jersey approached me. Looking like a young Denzel Washington, he had short hair and a neatly trimmed goatee. My panties moistened in anticipation as one of the sexiest men I had ever seen came closer. Now only a few feet away from me, the tantalizing aroma of his cologne enticed me. I studied his shy smile and waited for him to speak first.
After exchanging greetings, we made a little small talk. Then, Richie asked me if I wanted to ride with him to Kinko's to copy the notes. I agreed and we made our way to his Chevy pickup truck. It only took twenty minutes to make the copies and get back to my dorm. I found myself not wanting to say goodnight to Richie. He was so funny, and seemed like a really sweet guy. As we arrived back in the lobby I found myself hoping that he would ask me out, or at least make the promise of a phone call.
"Thanks again for the notes Nina. It was really nice talking to you."
"No problem...anytime."
"Well I guess I'll head back to my dorm. See you in class on Monday."
"Okay see ya."
I watched as Richie made his way down the path away from my dorm. I couldn't let him just leave.
