XLI
It was the start of Rosemaryâs first academic year at the university where she was to study Economics and General Business Studies. Although sheâd long been looking forwards to this day, it was also with some trepidation that sheâd also started the hunt to find digs for herself in the area. She scoured through the local newspapers and studied the student notice-boards, but it was the note in the window of an Asian newsagentâs where she spotted the advertisement to flatshare Susanâs apartment at what was a remarkably reasonable rate. She took a note of the number on her pocket PC, and dialed it on her mobile phone. The girl who answered the phone sounded very enthusiastic, and very pleased that Rosemary was a student. Clearly, it had just not crossed her mind to rent out to students, despite the many colleges and universities in the vicinity.
âBut before I offer you space in the flat Iâd better see you,â Susan commented. âSome of the people whoâve shone interest have been ⌠well ⌠not best suited to sharing with me. Nor would they have got on very well with my friends.â
Susanâs flat was a great deal better appointed than Rosemary had imagined. How could it be so inexpensive? she wondered. It was quite high up in an apartment block, with a beautiful view of the city below. With some self-conscious nervousness, she pressed the buzzer, wondering what this Susan might be like. She vaguely imagined someone in a smart business-suit with prim wire-framed glasses and hair tied back. What she didnât expect to see was a slim, not especially tall, oriental girl wearing only a baggy pair of shorts with a monstrous black, anatomically correct dildo protruding out of its fly and pointing towards her. The presence of the dildo didnât distress her too much. After all quite a few of her fellow students wore them. It was the fashion. Although most students had less prominent ones, usually worn decoratively over tight jeans, or worn instead of knickers. No, the presence of the dildo was not the most startling feature about her. Nor the fact she was an oriental with no accent to speak of. Nor that her hair was boyishly short. Nor that she was topless. To Rosemaryâs eyes the most stunning feature was Susanâs almost total lack of breasts. Sheâd never been aware that it was possible for a woman to be so conspicuously unendowed, and yet to show absolutely no concern about it.
Susan was also rather startled. As well she might be. Her conversation on the phone had prepared her for a young female student, which sheâd rather welcomed. Sheâd been very worried about sharing with a man, what with her career in fuck films. But it had no way prepared her for a girl with such massively disproportionate breasts. Unsurprisingly it was the very first thing that announced itself to her, although Rosemary was otherwise still a very attractive girl, not at all plump despite the dimensions of her bosom, and dressed remarkably demurely for a first year student. Her long mousey brown hair flowed down over a shirt which was quite clearly not designed to be worn by a woman, and tied together as best it could to contain her breasts, which protruded bralessly from beneath her denim jacket and supported only by their own properties as few bras could ever contain such full round breasts, the nipples of which alone were many times larger than her own tiny bust. She wore tight denim jeans and white trainers, and carried a flowery bag which clearly contained her books and bits and pieces.
Rosemary smiled shyly, used now to the curious effect of her appearance. It was not one for which she was at all grateful. Most men, when they spoke at all, spoke to her cleavage and not to her at all. Women also treated her strangely as if she were suffering from some cruel disability. Even her friends found it difficult to accommodate her breasts into their acquaintance without some nervousness. And sheâd never yet found anyone brave enough to acquaint her with the pleasures of romance or love-making.
âIâve come about the flat,â said Rosemary at last.
It was only the following day that Rosemary moved into the flat, glad to no longer have to sleep in a sleeping-bag on the floor of a friendâs room in the student halls. She hauled her bags across town, up the elevator to the twelfth floor and then into the third of the three spacious bedrooms in Susanâs flat. As she undid her bags and laid the clothes tidily into the many drawers, she couldnât help exulting in her good fortune in having found such a luxurious well-appointed room in such a nice part of the city. And with such a nice flatmate, or, really, landlady. When sheâd got used to Susanâs semi-nudity, the two girls had had such a nice chat seated on the large leather armchairs in the living room. All around them were beautiful rugs on polished floor-boards, a massive television screen, beautiful painted portraits, still lifes and landscapes, and classy modern furniture. Susan was ever so interested in Rosemaryâs life, her studies at the university and, oh!, all sorts of things. She was so good at listening, and didnât seem at all bored as Rosemary prattled on. Oh! She was so lucky, thought Rosemary as she arranged her ornaments and possessions on the cupboards.
Eventually she emerged from her bedroom and wandered into the living room where she found Susan sitting on an armchair listening to some gentle jazz music and thumbing through a magazine. She looked up as Rosemary entered, and smiled at her. âIâve ordered you a desk to study at,â she announced. âIt should arrive tomorrow and then youâll be settled for your studies.â
Rosemary was only half-aware of what Susan was saying as she was slightly alarmed to see that Susan was totally nude, not even wearing the dildo which sheâd come to think as being integral to Susanâs appearance. Sheâd not often met naked women before, but Susan seemed totally unembarrassed by her appearance, so she made no comment. She gingerly sat herself down on another armchair, and felt herself sink into its firm leather upholstery.
âWould you like a glass of wine?â asked Susan, standing up and revealing her full erect nakedness. Rosemary nodded, but her thoughts were focused on Susanâs naked crotch which was shaved and made her look several years younger than she was. But such a beautiful crotch: so tidy and smooth against her flat taut torso.
Rosemary and Susan sipped the chilled Argentinean wine, a taste which was still quite novel to Rosemary, and continued their conversation from the previous day as if there had only been the briefest of pauses. They discussed Rosemaryâs choice of studies at university, why she had been attracted to the discipline of Economics and her school childhood.
âBut how did you cope with the attention that your ⌠erm ⌠assets must have provoked from your teachers and class mates?â wondered Susan.
âMy assets?â wondered Rosemary at the delicate phrasing.
âYour bosom, I mean. It must have attracted a lot of comment.â
âIt did that,â admitted Rosemary blushing. âIâve often wished for smaller.â
