Class was finally over for Simon. He was just an average college student; despite trying to play the nice guy most of the time. On the way back from class Simon had noticed some homeless people, and one in particular. She seemed different from the other homeless people there; she had a glint of intelligence in her deep blue eyes that was rarely seen in the homeless of the area. Her face was also clear and could almost be described as beautiful. The face was about the only thing you could see of her with her wearing at least five layers of clothing and dirty, floppy hat.
Simon walked up to her. “Hi there,” he said standing right in front of her.
She looked up at him and gave Simon an instant look of distrust. “What do you want?”
“I would just like the pleasure of your company.” He said with a smirk. She still had a look of distrust and disbelief in her eyes. “Don’t worry, just a simple walk and talk. And I’ll make it worth your effort.” Simon extended his hand to her to help her from her sitting position on the ground.
“What do I get?” Her look of disbelief and distrust had faded.
“You get simple comforts that you have been without for what looks like a while,” he said and with that she took his hand and rose to stand beside him. She simply nodded and they were on their way. They talked at much length about seemingly unimportant topics. It was a long walk back to Simon’s dorm but neither of them seemed to notice. She was genuinely enjoying the company of this stranger, she couldn’t figure out exactly why, but she found him attractive.
“Ok, we’re here,” she said, “now where is my reward?” They had reached their destination, and it was time for Simon to giver the woman her reward. Simon led her in to his dorm room. It wasn’t a very big room, but it had all of the comforts of home.
“Your reward is here, you get use of the shower, which is something you are in dire need of, and after that I’ll take you out for a meal,” he put it simple and straight. The gifts were enough for her though, and he was right, she hadn’t had a shower in a very long time and it would feel good to be clean again.
She smiled and nodded at him and disappeared into the bathroom. Within seconds her clothes were off and on the floor. She started the water and looked for a washcloth and the soap, there was none. The woman quickly wrapped a towel around her and went back to the room with Simon.
Simon knew why she was back before she could ask for the soap and washcloth. He was stunned at how good she looked in that towel that he had an instant hard on as soon as she walked in. Simon handed her the missing items. “There is also a razor in there that you can use,” he said.
