Jack's breath quickened as he shut the door of the yellow cab and stepped across a shimmering, slushy puddle onto the sidewalk in front of the downtown Hilton. Why here, he wondered, of all places. Still, he was happy to meet Vanessa anywhere right now. More than happy, after what had happened two days ago. He was still embarrassed thinking about it and now he was nervous and excited to see her. As the cab pulled away onto the still-wet streets, Jack bounded up the stairs and pushed through the revolving door with as confident a swoosh as he could muster.
Vanessa was already sitting at the bar, a few sips into an apple martini. She beamed her megawatt smile at him, all perfect teeth and rich pink lips as he sat down. "So glad you could meet me here. Sorry it's a little out of the way but I wanted someplace we could talk away from the house."
"Um, yeah, sure," Jack said as he let his eyes fall to Vanessa's blouse. It was his favorite, a simple cream satin thing that buttoned only to the middle of Vanessa's cleavage. You had to hand it to this girl, Jack thought. She definitely knows how to work her assets.
"So look, Jack, I want you to stop worrying about this thing, okay? First of all, we're roommates. Crazy shit happens between roommates. You've got nothing to be embarrassed about. Everybody does it and it's not like you were out in the middle of the living room or anything. And about the pictures, just forget it, okay? I'm... I don't know, flattered, really."
"Oh, god, Vanessa, thanks. I was really worried you'd be so pissed off. I mean, I feel really badly about it, I do. I just..."
"Hey," she chimed in, "just forget it, okay? I think the whole thing is kind of cute. Seriously. And you know, there's nothing wrong with you. You look great, you've got lots of options and lots of opportunities. My friend Carla thinks you're super hot, and I know she's not alone. So just... relax about the whole thing, okay? Have a drink with me."
Jack was halfway through his second glass of cabernet when Vanessa leaned forward and said, "Hey. Wanna have some fun, Jack? A little adventure?" Jack put his wine down as his heart raced. Her look was undeniable.
"Yeah, sure... uh, what did you have in mind?" he stammered out, worried he sounded like a dork.
"Just come with me," Vanessa said, picking up her glass and swiftly turning away. Jack stared at her ass a full, long second as she started off. She turned her head and caught him looking. Vanessa giggled, tossed her hair, and said again, "Come on, let's go. I got us a room."
Jack felt almost sick as he got in the elevator; he was so excited this was finally going to happen. He nearly stumbled at the door when Vanessa grabbed him and pulled his head toward hers. She kissed him hard, pushing her soft tongue between his lips and letting out a soft moan.
"Do you want this, Jack? Do you want to fuck me?"
"Oh god yes," Jack replied. She slipped her hand down his chest and between his legs, feeling him stiffen under his slacks.
