Walking back across campus in the summer is always a series of distractions. Short skirts, bikini tops, snug shorts. If I wasn't careful, I'd end up looking like a drooling idiot following one girl after another as I wandered around in a daze. There's something wonderful about the unpredictability of the English summer; when it is hot, everyone takes advantage and the result is a sight to behold. What could be better?
This particular day, I was walking back to my room and fell in behind a girl wearing a halter top and a short, short denim skirt with leather flip-flops. She was keeping her hair out of her eyes with a pair of oversized sunglasses and walked with a delicious wiggle to her hips. The further we went towards the halls, the more inevitable it seemed that she'd peel off in one direction or another, but, it seemed we were heading for the same block. She got to the door, opened it and gave me a mock frown, "Are you following me?" She asked as she held the door open.
I grinned back at her. "Me? No. I live here... Honest." I took to holding the door, letting her enter first.
She smiled as she started climbing the stairs in front of me, turning back and giving me, "Yea. Sure. That's what they all say." I protested my innocence and carried on up the stairs, delighting in the look of her long smooth legs ahead of me. She opened the door on the first floor—my floor—and turned towards my door as she fumbled for her key. I stood at her shoulder as she tried to put her key in my door. She laughed, "You really are following me."
"Actually," I replied. "This is my room. Perhaps you're following me." She looked at me quizzically, and turned the key. Of course it didn't work, it was my room. But only when the key didn't work did she start to realize her mistake. "May I?" I asked as I brandished my key.
She stepped back; "Be my guest." She said and laughed out loud as she saw my key turn in my lock.
"So. Who is following who?"
"Well, I was in front of you, so I can't have been following you." She said, which was perfectly true.
"Mmmmmm. But I wasn't following you, was I?"
"Yep. I suppose they do, don't they." I opened my door and she looked in to my room.
"No, I suppose not. Jesus—these blocks do all look the same." "Well, well. Not all the rooms look the same." She said.
I laughed in response. My room was a mess—though no worse than normal. "I suppose yours is much tidier than this, is it?" She giggled. "No, not really, but the mess is more of a... girly mess. More make up, smaller T-shirts and... well... the underwear is different altogether."
"Well, you're welcome to come in and examine my mess more closely... or invite me to your room—wherever it is—and give me the chance for a comparison."
At that moment the small fridge in the corner of my room started humming and she turned to look over at the source of the noise. "Oh. You don't happen to have something cold to drink in there do you?"
"It's possible." I smiled. "Let me take a look." I bent over and opened the fridge, knowing perfectly well what was inside. "We have Stella, Stella and Stella." Anything take your fancy? She responded theatrically, pondering the choices as she rubbed her chin, "I think a Stella would be perfect—thanks." I took out two Stellas and passed one to her. "There you go." "Thanks very much."
"You are more than welcome." I replied.
She popped the can and took a sip, while I did the same. "Mmmm. Perfect—that hits the spot."
"Absolutely." As she took another deep swallow with her eyes closed and her head tilted right back, I took the opportunity to look her over. She really was very tasty. I could see her nipples under her shirt, atop lovely, shapely handfuls of breast, and her taut slender neck as she drank her beer. Her waist was slim, her belly-button exposed between her shirt and jeans mini. "Take a seat," I suggested as she came up for air. She smiled and sat on the edge of my bed, while I sank back into the only easy chair in the room. "That better?"
"Yes, thank you—much better. And that's another difference between your room and mine. God! I wish I had a fridge." I chuckled. "Well, until you get one of your own, you can always stop by mine when you get thirsty. If, of course, you can find it again."
