Maia Laaning Ch 33

The seriousness Maia and Riina paid to their academic learning then was offset by their total uninhibited sexual licentiousness they pursued on Friday and Saturday nights. The one vice, though, both Maia and Riina refused to indulge in was doing drugs. Riina bought into the general societal consensus that indulging in this vice was absolutely deleterious to one's health and well being. Granted that excessive consumption of alcohol can result in similar maladies, but Riina firmly believed that it is easier to avoid alcoholism than it is to prevent oneself from succumbing to drug addiction.

For Maia, she had an additional impetus to refrain from doing drugs. Since her parents were so prominent in Estonia, it was an anathema for her to embarrass them publicly. As a generalization most Estonians are heavy drinkers, and so that if she was spotted inebriated in public it would not likely be published in the Estonian main stream media nor would it even surface as a mention in the social media.

That belief of Maia's was reinforced by an anecdote her mother had related to her in conjunction with her time living in the United States. During the Presidency of George W Bush, his two daughters were caught trying to obtain an alcoholic drink in a restaurant while both were under the age of twenty-one, legal drinking age in America. They both, though, were older than eighteen which is universally considered the age of majority.

That incident was apparently a minor embarrassing scandal in the United States particularly embarrassing at the time, but to Estonians the story was simply incomprehensible. Never mind that the legal drinking age is eighteen in Estonia, still the attempt to buy liquor while legally underage is deemed as part and parcel of an action teenagers are prone to pursue. Granted that it would not be good for preteens or those who are thirteen or fourteen years of age to imbibe alcohol, still most Estonians would not be unduly perturbed if their adolescent child at least fifteen years of age or older would periodically consume an alcohol drink.

However, it is a different kettle of fish in the attitude of the Estonian legal authorities as well as the general public in Estonia with regards to usage of perceived dangerous drugs. Even the usage of marijuana is regulated as illegal in Estonia despite its acceptance in most other western jurisdictions. For that reason alone, it was enough incentive for Maia to avoid taking any illegal drug substance especially including marijuana.

With the iron clad determination not to do drugs, Maia and Riina otherwise treated Friday and Saturday nights as occasions to go wild. It was the time allocated to indulge in hedonistic pleasures and it was guilt free as they were sure to be in top of their school work. They promised to each other and to themselves that if they happen to be behind in class assignments or study, they would forgo their night of sin for that particular evening. Since they treasured these nights of unrestrained merriment, they were committed to keeping current in their academic responsibilities.

Their weekend night occurrences consisted of three types of entertainment. Either they had dates, or they attended dances either at the university or at other appropriate venues or thirdly they would drink at bars conducive to attracting male attention. In almost all cases those nights invariably ended up in bed with a male companion engaging in pleasurable sex. During that first month of their first semester at the University of Tartu, those occasions were mostly very enjoyable and satisfying. For Maia there was one exception which turned out to be horrid but in contrast there was another occasion were the result proved to be a truly outstandingly spectacular episode.

The horrid example occurred as a result of a date with Lars Kaljurand on the third Saturday night in September. During the week prior, Maia in walking towards a scheduled class, stumbled and dropped her text book and some pages of paper containing her accumulated class notes. As she stooped down to pick up her course material, Lars happened to pass by and stopped to assist her in her momentary distress. As she was in a hurry to get her class, she quickly acquiesced to provide him her contact number. He did contact her that night and Maia agreed to go to a movie that Saturday night.

The movie was an American film in the original English, with no dubbing. So instead, there were Estonian and Russian subtitles for the benefit of those in the audience who were not conversant in English. Of course, Maia's command of English was equal to those whose mother tongue was English, so she didn't have to rely on the translated subtitles. However, she couldn't help glancing occasionally at the subtitles, and was amused at the discrepancy in the translation, particularly the Russian offerings.

Unfortunately, Lars was a pest during this date. He was totally untutored in English, and so following the movie in reading the subtitles was tedious for him. Consequently, he boldly put his arm around Maia's shoulders drawing her closer to him. That was annoying to Maia, but she could tolerate that form of intimacy. Then when he became more adventurous by touching and fondling her breast, she removed his hand away. However, he persisted. On the third attempt, Maia didn't bother to resist this time as in her mind she could tolerate such intimacy.

When Maia then allowed him to continue manhandling her boobs, Lars was emboldened to go further in the act of feeling up her tits. He attempted to reach into her dress to make direct contact of her fleshy breasts. As soon as she realized his intentions, she slapped his hand causing him to withdraw. She hissed at him, "Stop it! I want to enjoy this movie. We can do some more of this later in private."

From that reaction by Maia, Lars Kaljurand came to two conclusions: (a) she was signaling that she could be persuaded to put out for him at the end of the night; and (b) if he continued to make more intimate advances, she would get so pissed off that she might refuse sex. Accordingly, not wishing to jeopardize the opportunity of bedding the most popular and glamorous woman in his age group, he relented from attempting to take more liberties on her body. As he had not paid any attention to the movie he was kind of lost at what was going on in the story, and he surmised that asking Maia to enlighten him would not be to his advantage in luring her to his bed.

Consequently, Lars was bored to tears as the movie couldn't have ended soon enough for him. Finally the movie did end, and Lars suggested a drink at a nearby bar. Maia accepted with alacrity as she sure could use a drink to get her into a better frame of mind. So far as she was concerned the evening did not bode well for a happy ending. Lars was pleased to note that Maia ordered a double shot vodka neat as he was actually aware of a famous American poet's dictum: 'Candy is dandy but liquor I quicker." There are various interpretations attached to the meaning of that quote, but in Lars mind the quip is a prescription as to how to seduce a woman quickly.

Lars thought that after two drinks, Maia would have been influenced enough by the strong alcoholic drinks that she had imbibed. It stood to reason that her resistance would have to have been lowered so that she should have lost the normal expected inhibitions a woman might harbor on a first date. Little did Lars know that Maia was very used to consuming alcohol and her tolerance level was much higher than that of her peers. However, what was working in Lar's favor was Maia's penchant for indulging in indiscriminate sexual activity which was her main non academic goal in attending the University of Tartu.

Accordingly, when Lars proposed to leave the bar to continue the night at his apartment, Maia readily agreed to accompany him. His immediate belief was that her lack of resistance to his bold undisguised entreaty for sex was due to her intake of the two very strong drinks she had downed, i.e. 90 ml in total of straight vodka. Therefore in his mind, she ought to be inclined to indulge in a far out uninhibited night of pure debauchery. However, he was oblivious to the fact that Maia had responded to his proposal in a clear concise tone without slurring any of her words, which should have indicated to him that she was not acting against anything that she would not soberly desire.

This became obvious after they had entered his austere room, a basement unit in a relatively large two story house containing divided suites to accommodate seven different rentals in all. The renters were in every case out of town students attending the University of Tartu. An odd feature in his room was the presence of an inconspicuous card table. As Maia sat down on a chair, she was expecting that he would produce a bottle of liquor that they would share before resorting to some sexual activity. Instead though, he procured an envelope from his chest of drawers which contained a powder substance likely in the form of pure heroin.

He distributed the powder in a straight line along the surface of the card table. He proffered to Maia a shortened straw and a plastic rigid card, as he said, "I think we could each snort a line before we really get to know each other."

To Lars Kaljurand astonishment, Maia did not react as he would have expected or liked. She outrightly refused! She said, "You got to be kidding me! What makes you think I'm a junkie? I don't do drugs period. I'm out of here!"

Maia did indeed immediately exit Lars' premises and summoned a taxi to transport her back to the brewery and her residence. Now in contrast to her episode with Lars Kaljurand, she had a lovely time with Kalev Kõrvits which she surmised that she would forever relish the event. It occurred on the first Friday night in October. Riina was out for the night on a hot date with whom she expected to end up in bed either at his place or at their brewery loft. Riina would leave that choice up to her date.

Mia opted, then, to go to a tavern frequented mostly by university students. Her intention was that if a decent looking male student, who wouldn't be obviously unacceptable, would start to glom onto her then she also expected to end up in bed with him; again whether it's at his place or at the brewery loft, it would matter not. Thus, if she didn't have sex that night, it would not be due to any reticence on her part unless her male companion was truly a loser.

For the evening she wore a chiffon, V-neck, short sleeves, knee length blue color casual wear dress. She opted to wear fashionable Jimmy Choo sandals. Although her attire was simple, a true connoisseur of women's fashion would easily recognize the high quality of her ensemble. For underwear, she chose banded thigh high fishnet stockings. Her panties were teal in color.

For easier access to her and to allow a stranger to easily approach her, Maia chose to sit on a bar stool. The effectiveness of that choice of seating as part and parcel of her strategy to find a fuck buddy for the night proved to be dead-on. The bartender hadn't even had the chance to approach her and take her order, before a male student sat down next to her, and having made eye contact with her said, "Hi, you're Maia Laaning, aren't you?"

Before she answered, Maia measured him up as to his appearance and determined in her mind that he was definitely acceptable for her sexual machinations. So she replied, "Well yes of course I am. I guess being the Prime Minister's daughter makes me recognizable to virtually very Estonian citizen. But you obviously have the advantage of me as I do not know your name."

He answered, "Oh! My name is Kalev Kõrvits. I'm a second year student studying pharmacy, and my hometown is Pärnu. I've heard that you are a student here in Tartu and are studying computer science. By the way, it's just not the fact that you're the Prime Minister's daughter but the fact that you are so gosh darn beautiful that any person man or woman would want to become acquainted with you. And I'm certainly enchanted!"

Maia laconically replied, "Very gallant of you to say so."

Just then, the bartender was about to approach the pair of them to take their orders. Maia did some quick thinking in assessing the situation on hand. She suspected that Kalev would probably offer to buy her a drink as standard protocol for a man in trying to pick up a woman for a date or even desiring for more intimacy. She assumed that there was no way that he was as financially flush as she was. He possibly could afford several rounds of beer drinking before he felt he would be emboldened enough to make a move on her and actually propose a mutually agreeable sexual outcome.

In contemplating such circumstances, Maia felt the full force of the irony that she was more discriminate in her choice of drinking than she was of sexual companions. Mind you, when she was in high school, she did remain a virgin until her nineteenth birthday for the simple reason that all of her male peers were just not enticing enough for her to desire having sex with anyone of them. However, once she did surrender her virginity and became sexually active, her anathema towards having sex with those who she perceived less worthy of the male species had dissipated. This first month of her time at the University of Tartu was the example of her one eighty turn in her attitude. During that month, she had engaged in sexual activity with several, various and different male partners. And with the exception of Lars Kaljurand, these occasions were certainly deliciously pleasant, but in no way was she inclined to pursue an extended relationship with anyone of them afterwards.

In contrast her alcoholic drinking habits evolved in an opposite way. As a child Maia was intrigued by witnessing the habit of adults drinking alcohol, but she was not allowed to indulge. That of course made her more determined to experiencing alcohol for herself. As soon as her mother had separated from her second husband and they had moved to Tallinn, she had Maia assist her in everyday cooking and preparing their meals. The assistance became more meaningful to the point that by the time Maia turned twelve, she became the primary cook for most of the meals.

Vivian and Raimond always had wine for their evening dinners. As a result, Maia saw her advantage and declared that if she was old enough to cook and prepare dinner, she surely was old enough to drink wine with dinner like them. As her parents acquiesced, she then began to drink indiscriminately not caring at first of the quality and flavor of the alcoholic drink. By the time she reached fifteen years of age she had already grown to a height of 175 cm (5'9") taller than the average height of adult women. That being the case, her parents and most of their acquaintances allowed her to consume alcoholic beverages whenever she was in their presence amidst social drinking occasions.

However, by the time Maia turned eighteen, and thus, under Estonian law was able to drink legally, her taste in alcohol consumption became more discriminant. Maia had developed a desire and ambition to lead a sophisticated lifestyle. That goal originated from the time her mother started to dress her in the most stylish and expensive clothes appropriate for her age. It was not lost on Maia that she and Riina were always the best dressed females throughout their school years, which in turn was undeniably the likely source of her popularity amongst her peers. She loved being on the receiving end of that admiration. And of course, upon becoming the owner of her Lamborghini sports coupe consolidated her glamours image.

Therefore, she eschewed drinking beer with the exception of her mother's brew. She considered guzzling beer to be too plebeian and incongruent to the lifestyle she was intent on cultivating. She drank her mother's beer, 'Viviani Originaalpruul' only when in a casual social setting with her friends and acquaintances. Her parents always served high quality fine wine for dinner, but it was only at meal times when she quaffed some wine. Thus, her normal go-to drink, then was top shelf vodka. As a result, Stolichnaya a very pricey Russian brand of vodka was her all time favorite alcohol drink.

Luckily this tavern carried Stolichnaya, not only the brand bottled in Russia but also the brand bottled in Latvia. The former was much more expensive than the latter and so its price was rather steep which most college students could not afford. Notwithstanding that extra price, she sometimes deliberately chose the Russian vodka brand even when wishing to hook up. Her rationale was that anyone who could stick around and be willing to indulge her extravagant choice of liquor should be worthwhile to sleep with.

Usually in the mind of the predatory male, attending a typical singles bar on the prowl to entice an unattached willing female for sex, entailed an established modus operandi to ensure success. It was deemed that he would need to spring for a bare minimum of three rounds of drinking. That would then include an exchange of some sparkling perhaps witty conversations, interspersed with subtle tentative double entendres as signals to gauge possible success. Then if there was evidently any sign of positive reaction or at least a lack of resistance, and only then, would he feel comfortable to dare to utter a blatant suggestion that could lead to a successful acceptance of a sexual rendezvous.

Now in the case where Maia was the willing unattached female at a singles bar, her choice drink of the Russian brand of Stolichnaya tended to discourage most predatory males. The price of three rounds of her drinking tab would be too prohibitive for the budget of the average college student to contemplate. Even if sex with Maia was attainable the expenditure was beyond their means. Thus, in most cases where Maia accepted the offer of a drink from a male student supplicant for bar room companionship, he quickly departed after the consumption of that first drink and before it was time to order a second drink.

As a result of such initial negative results of retaining a male drinking companion for the evening who could afford to supply her with the high quality vodka, she so desired to consume, she changed her tactics. Usually it was around about 11:00 PM, after some two or three hours of drinking, if she hadn't attracted a sustainable drinking companion who could afford her expensive drinking habits, Maia would revert to drinking her mother's beer. That way the next male to offer to buy her a round would invariably stay longer and end up as her fuck buddy for that evening.

During that month of September, whenever she attended a bar or pub for the sole purpose of hooking up there was only one occasion where she was able to attract a male drinking companion who remained to constantly meet her drinking tab. Naturally that led to a satisfactory sexual conclusion for the evening on that occasion. On the other occasions when she reverted to drinking her mother's beer, she was still able to gain a fuck buddy for the night. In comparing the results of either situation, she was forced to conclude that the ensuing sex was equally satisfying. Consequently, she realized that this put paid to her initial notion that the more affluent lover was superior. Then again that did not diminish her preference for enjoying superior alcoholic drinks.

On this occasion Maia sensed some absolutely really good vibes coming her way, emanating from the persona of Kalev Kõrvits and hence she perceived it was a great premonition that he would be a most satisfactory lover in bed. Ergo she had instantly determined that she just had to fuck him. She also perceived that he probably couldn't really afford even one round of drinks with her, and so he would slink away after their one round. And she knew that she sure would want him for this night.
