Diana woke up just before noon, with a sunny smile, influenced by her fond memories of what had transpired before her slumber. Alas! Her smile quickly turned to a frown of disappointment. Brad Winters was gone! Also gone were the paraphernalia, he had brought with him to provide the props for the wonderful night of their sensual, sexy fun and games. Her immediate concern was, "Oh shit! No good morning fuck after all!"
Recalling that noon was the check out time for the hotel, she eschewed taking a shower. Instead, she gathered up her scattered clothes strewn on the floor minus her panties, of course. She quickly dressed and went to her SUV to drive home. Without having taken a shower, she reeked of sexual odor. That condition suited her mood as she drove, since it evoked happy reminiscences of all that had occurred the night before.
Diana was in a very cheerful mood as she had lunch with Makayla, during their regular mid-week luncheon dates. After Makayla asked how the date with Brad went, Diana was all smiles as she related all the erotic details of their romantic evening. For Diana, it was a welcome change to their previous conversations whereby Makayla was waxing poetic of her sexual adventures. This time it was Diana who had sexual anecdotes to relate, while it was Makayla who had sat at home the previous Saturday without a date.
After providing all the graphic details of her time with Brad, Diana summarized her thoughts by opining, "You remember all that silly talk of last week, where I thought I was a slut and a whore, and not a one-man woman? Well now that I've met Brad Winters, I sure as hell know that I definitely can be a one-man woman, especially if the one man is Brad Winters."
Makayla snorted, "Get real, Diana! You don't really know anything about him except that he is a good fuck. You need to know more than that about him before you can legitimately consider entering into an exclusive relationship."
"Hey! Don't knock his good fuck quality. After all, I was sexually intimate with 101 different men at the Frat party and enjoyed every one of them save and except for only a couple of instances. It stands to reason with that experience, I had the impression I would always want variety in sexual partners. But the way Brad fucked me, I sure as hell can say he satisfied me thoroughly. So much so I'm not tempted to try another guy, and I'm no longer on pins and needles waiting for any of the other guys with my phone number to call me. Brad Winters is my man now."
Makayla was understandably shocked by Diana's sudden enthusiasm for an exclusive relationship upon such little acquaintanceship, so she had to ask, "Wait a minute Diana! Hold your horses! How can you say you have a relationship with this Brad Winters? You did say, didn't you, that he left you asleep at the hotel without saying even a goodbye? Do you even have his phone number?"
Diana answered somewhat sheepishly, "Well, no, I don't have his phone number. We didn't get around to that matter, as other things were occupying our minds. As for him leaving so abruptly, there could be a myriad of reasons why he had to leave. I think it was a gentlemanly kindness on his part to allow me to keep on sleeping, considering it must have been at least 04:00 AM before we finally went to sleep."
"Well, he could have at least left you a note."
"It's possible he could have had a deadline that made it impossible for him to do so. I'm sure he'll have a reasonable explanation when he calls."
"If he calls."
"Of course he'll call. I refuse to believe this was a one night stand. I mean, we had a great time. We got along tremendously besides the sex. And I need not point out that he must have spent quite a bit of money on our date. The restaurant and the hotel certainly were not cheap."
"Well, obviously, he could afford it."
"True! But even if he's as rich as Croesus, he would not make a habit of spending so lavishly on a girl that he would have no regard for. Besides, when he does call, I plan to tell him my pregnant state and ask him if he would consent to a paternity test."
"Oh my God, Diana! Are you then intending to trap him into marriage if he is the biological father?"
"Oh no, not at all. As I'll explain to him, I will not have an abortion. I am inclined to give my baby up for adoption because I would have no clue as to the identity of the father. However, if I were to know that he was the father, I certainly would want to keep the baby. I'll explain I'm not interested in marriage, although admittedly, I wouldn't object."
Makayla was absolutely flabbergasted by Diana's impetuousness. She had to decry, "You can't be serious. I repeat you virtually know nothing about him."
"Well, the odds are at least more than forty to one against, for him to be specifically the father, so I don't think I'll need to cross that bridge. My point is that by laying my cards on the table, he can see I'm seriously attracted to him without my directly begging him to be my boyfriend. It just might induce him to commit to an exclusive relationship with me, which would be my main purpose."
Makayla rolled her eyes upon hearing Diana's scheme. She just said, "I think you are too devious for your own good. Certainly, you have to tell him you are pregnant, but you shouldn't ask him to consider a paternity test. He should volunteer to take it, and no doubt that he will do so, once and if your hoped-for relationship does happen and becomes serious."
Diana replied, "I'll give it some thought. Anyway, I think I'll head for the library for some quick study before our next class."
Although Makayla and Diana, as a matter of course, as classmates and solid friends, were constantly in touch with each other, they did not engage in any meaningful conversation throughout the ensuing week. It wasn't until the next luncheon date that they had the opportunity to catch up with information on their personal lives. As they met at their favorite table in the cafeteria, Makayla could see that Diana had a crestfallen demeanor.
Surmising the nature of her misery, Makayla asked. "He hasn't called?"
Diana, in visible low spirits, replied, "Nope! I don't understand it, and I don't even have his number. So I can't even get a hold of him."
Makayla gave some hope, "I'm going to text Keshaun. He should be able to get Brad's number from the Frat office."
A day later, Keshaun got back to Makayla, who then was able to advise Diana when they next talked to each other. "Keshaun got back to me and has discovered that Brad Winters has dropped out of all of his classes. His phone is dead. Those at the Frat who know him believe he's gone back to his home in Chicago."
