Hi, my name is Jake and I want to tell you about the most interesting night of my life to date! I was 21, and the night started out like any of the thousands that had gone before it! I was boredβ¦
I had been watching my TV in the darkness of my room till it was starting to get quite late. I stood (intending to go and switch off the TV), stretched and looked out of my windowβ¦
I live in a quiet area in the "better" end of town, you know, a small suburban area β more of a close than a true street β our house overlooked those opposite us and sometimes you could clearly see into the rooms of them!
On this particular night that was what happened! I was stretching, the light from the TV barely lighting the area around me when my eye was drawn to the window of the house opposite us. It was the house of this rather hot babe from my college, Kimberly - she was a couple of years below me and had this equally hot exchange student staying with her.
Now Kimmy, as she was known by her friends, was your typical leggy blonde cheerleader typeβ¦ Skin like silk, eyes that sparkled with mischief more often than malice, and the type of lips that were plump and soft β perfect for nibbling teasingly while you kissed her β and yeah, incase you hadn't guessed - I was smitten. Sadly, I was hardly her type, I was the classic "boy next door" the sort you could befriend but not "boyfriend material".
Don't get me wrong, you could hardly accuse me of being ugly, but I was more "homely" than "jock" β I carried a couple of extra pounds that weren't exactly solid muscle, and my features were a little too rugged. I had asked her to the bowling alley a few times now and although she didn't openly laugh in my face, you could see the pity in her eyes as she gently told me she had "other plans" β yeah, "other plans" how many times have I heard that one over the yearsβ¦ "I am really sorry Jake, would love to but I really have to wash my dog!" β You would think that I would learn one day and stop humiliating myself...
Now enough self pity and back to that night!
Kimmy was in her room, with the exchange student, I believe that she was called Mia; she was a pretty little oriental lass, petite, almost delicate β like some freshly opened flower in the first rays of dawn.
They were sitting watching TV on Kimmy's bed; they both looked adorable in towelling PJ's with their hair a little damp β obviously fresh from the shower. I knew that Kimmy's parents were away for the weekend β they spent most weekends in the country with Mrs Henderson's elderly mother.
I couldn't quite see the TV, so didn't know what they were watching but they were wide eyed and giggled a lot. Then all of a sudden Mia leaned towards Kimmy and whispered something and stroked her hair. Kimmy looked a little startled but considered what had been said and nodded β looked back to the TV and smiled then nodded again, seeming more sure this time.
I was entranced by Kimmy as always, and walked over to the desk that was below my window and sat on the edge of it, curious to know what was going to happen. I reasoned with myself that I really shouldn't be sat here watching them like this, that it was "impolite" of me; but somehow I just couldn't stop myself.
