I had transferred late to a college in San Diego and was desperately looking for someplace to live. I was hoping to be in one of the fun "students only" apartment complexes but found them all full by the time I got there. I read all the papers and took all of the housing notices posted on bulletin boards around the campus and made call after call until finally finding what appeared to be the very last room in the area.
Just six blocks from campus I knocked on the door of a large older home in a mixed residential and business area. I had spoken to Mrs. Lee on the phone just moments before and when she opened the door I was greeted by a smiling stocky Chinese woman, who at only about five-foot tall was dwarfed by my six-foot frame.
We talked for a few moments in her living room where she explained that she lived there with her elderly mother and that she rented two upstairs rooms to students each semester. I would have guessed that Mrs. Lee was only about fifty years old and having been brought to the United States as a very young girl, spoke perfect English with only a slight accent.
Mrs. Lee asked if I would like to see the available room and led me upstairs. Apparently the large room at one end of the hall was already rented to two female students who had moved in three days ago. There was a shared bathroom in between and at the other end of the hall a tiny room with one very large window looking out to over the garage to the side of a commercial building next door.
Mrs. Lee explained that the one nice part of the room was that the large window opened up creating access to the deck-like top of the garage where I could see a clothes line and a lounge chair.
"It gets very sunny here, but only in the afternoon hours."
I took a quick look at the shared bathroom which was larger than my bedroom and had apparently been converted from a small bedroom. It was fully renovated with a large frosted glass shower and a fully enclosed toilet. Around the room there was already evidence of the two female students. Shampoos, brushes, hair dryer, and bottles of whatever it is that women use to make themselves feel like women.
We talked about the rent and I was eager to pay my first month and start moving in. All of my belongings were being stored by a friend who had an apartment a mile or so away. I had left my car at home and decided only to bring my bike as driving and parking around campus was too difficult.
It took me just a few hours to move in and I immediately went out to have a beer with the friend who had not only stored my belongings but had helped me move in. Mrs. Lee's house had a front door that opened directly to the stairs so in her words "There are no open and closed hours as long as you are quiet when you return or go out."
There were few rules at Mrs. Lee's but no overnight guests and no parties were the big ones.
I awoke my first morning in my new room to the sound of the shower running down the hall. I still had not met my two new floor-mates but the thought of a naked female student just twenty feet away soaping herself in our shared shower had my penis enlarging.
Last night's beers were also having an effect on my bladder and I got a little anxious when I heard the shower stop. I figured I should put on a nice t-shirt for my first meeting with my neighbors and so in t-shirt and shorts stepped into the hall to meet the shower girl and quickly use the bathroom. I dance in the hallway for a few minutes before the door opened and I met Claudia. Wrapped in her towel with wet hair she smiled up at me and introduced herself.
"Hey I'm Claudia, Mrs. Lee told us you had moved in, we just got here a few days ago.", and with that the door to their room which was partly open, opened all the way to reveal Taryn dressed in the standard sweatpants and t-shirt.
After the short introductions I walked into the bathroom for a much needed piss. When got out their door was still half open and I could hear them inside dressing and giggling. I had always been somewhat of an exhibitionist and I thought that this living situation might just be perfect for a little showing off.
I got dressed and went out to scout out my new neighborhood and then took my bike, which I had locked to the side of Mrs. Lee's garage, to campus to buy some books I needed.
When I returned, I skipped up the stairs and flung open my door and immediately saw Mrs. Lee outside of my window hanging wash. I stuck my head out.
"Sorry, I didn't know you would be home so soon. I do this every Tuesday and Thursday."
It was a beautiful day so I stepped out onto the roof to chat with Mrs. Lee. I had a few questions about the neighborhood. I was looking for a good place to go running and she told me about a park just a few blocks away that I had not yet seen.
