Jack scanned the Student Union hall, searching for his friend. The hall was full with students studying for or recovering from exams before the semester ended for Christmas. After high school, his best friend Angelica had gone off to Art College, so they rarely saw each other anymore, but she'd written and suggested they meet when she came home for Christmas Break. They agreed to meet after Jack's exam for lunch.
He saw her across the room and waved. Angelica was tall and broad shouldered, with full, melon shaped breasts and curving hips to match. Like all large women, she hid herself in baggy shapeless sweaters, thinking herself ugly because she wasn't all legs and tiny perky tits. Jack thought it was a shame. Angelica was quite beautiful and had what a lot of men wanted, she just needed to flaunt it more. She saw him. Her face split into a bright smile and she waved back energetically, quickly crossing to the table he'd saved.
"Jack!" she squealed and wrapped him into a tight hug. Jack returned it and secretly enjoyed being pressed into the massive breasts he'd fantasized about while masturbating during high school. Angelica was a bit taller than him, so it wasn't hard to briefly put his face into the top of her swelling bosom.
Angelica was quite beautiful up close too. Long straight black hair cascaded down the sides of an oval face. Her almond eyes were separated by a long straight nose. Her mouth was wide, but she laughed a lot showing a lot of white teeth in her Mediterranean complexion.
They talked as they ate, filling each other in on their lives, school work, hopes, what they thought of "The Return of the Jedi". Angelica told a funny story of College hijinks that interrupted their nude drawing class. "So Jack?" she asked suddenly changing direction. "Have you met anyone yet? Inquiring minds need to know." She knew Jack had been infatuated with her during high school, but she kept things platonic, because Jack was easy to confide in and talk to and liked all the geeky things she did. That was much more valuable to her than having Jack as a lover, which would have just made it awkward. She'd tried to set him up with a few girls, but he was still quite single and lonely when they parted to go to post-secondary.
Jack brightened considerably. "Oh yes! Marion. She's fantastic! We've been together for almost four months now." Jack babbled on, telling Angelica all about how they met, what Marion was like, even her favourite music. "She's great! She's so smart and is really opening me up to the New Wave stuff coming out of the UK."
"Ooh" Angelica cooed approvingly. "Have you got a picture?"
Jack blushed. "ummm... well. Only this one." He pulled out his wallet and dug out a small black and white snap.
Angelica's eye brows shot up as she studied it. "Oh my!" In the picture Marion was sitting on the bed, naked. Arms folded under her breasts as she looked out the window. Stripes of light and dark slanted across her pale flesh. The art student in her appreciated the composition. "She's beautiful Jack. I'm so happy for you!"
She handed the picture back to him. "I'd love to draw her, just like that. She's got gorgeous curves that would be great to draw. And actually I still have to complete my nude study assignment. I'm looking for a model."
"Well we can ask her. She's coming over tonight for the weekend. Why don't you come by tomorrow afternoon? I'd love for you to meet."
That night after their post dinner sex, Jack and Marion were lying on the couch together. Jack ran his fingers slowly through Marion's auburn hair. "Hey, honey bun?'
Marion looked up from his chest, where she'd been toying with his chest hair. "Mmmm?"
"You remember me telling you about my high school friend, Angelica?"
"Yeah, sure." Marion sat up.
"She'd like to meet you. She'd also like you to pose for an art assignment she's got."
"Sure! No problem."
"She needs you to pose nude."
Marion thought about it for half a second. "Okay."
"Really? That's okay?"
"Why not? She's a girl, I'm a girl. It's not like she's going to see anything she doesn't already have."
"Good. I invited her over tomorrow afternoon."
Marion brightened. "Great! I'll bake cookies!"
The next morning, Marion bustled around Jack's tiny kitchen making shortbread and gingerbread cookies while the newest Eurythmics album played on Jack's cassette player. Jack wasn't sure where the baking supplies or equipment had come from. He suspected Marion had brought them with her. He was doing some dishes when the buzzer rang. He let Angelica in.
"Hey! Merry Christmas!" Big hug and a peck on the cheek. Jack turned to introduce Marion who came out of the kitchen wiping her hands on her Christmas themed apron. Angelica gave Marion a big hug too. "Oh my God! I'm so happy to meet you! It was so hard getting Jack a date during High School, I was getting worried."
They sat down, Marion produced tea and a plate of cookies. They chit chatted, which mostly consisted of Marion and Angelica trading notes about Jack. Jack opened a bottle of port. "To go with the shortbread" he offered.
