My high school friend, Derrick, is a member of a frat, and has been trying to get me to attend a fraternity or sorority party with him for close to two years now. I'd planned to start studying for finals tonight, but I can't seem to manage to start. It's 1:45 AM, I can't sleep, and I'm bored as hell alone in my studio apartment: just about the only conditions under which I'd consider one of Derrick's parties. I text him about the sorority kegger he'd told me about a few days ago, wondering if he was still up and raging. He certainly was, and thrilled that I'd finally accepted one of his invitations.
I grab an Uber and head over, getting to the sorority right around 2. I text Derrick when I get there, not wanting to walk in alone. He comes out, gives me a huge, sloppily-drunk hug, and leads me in. I'm pressured instantly, both by Derrick and by a host of other partygoers I've never seen before, to catch up to them drinking-wise. By this time of night and how long they've been at it, that's pretty much impossible, but I decide to binge a bit for the pure irresponsible fun of it. Twenty minutes in, I'm at three shots of 151 and two keg-stands. I can barely stand, things starting to spin nauseously around me: I haven't imbibed like this in well over a year, and maybe never in my life as quickly as this. I stumble outside, puking two steps into their backyard.
"Oh my god, are you okay?" I hear from behind me. Feeling a great deal better with most of the liquor outside of my body again, I'm able to lift my head and turn to see a young lady approaching from a lawn chair a few yards to my right. She's got dark brown hair to her shoulders, wearing a sorority sweatshirt and tight jeggings. I can immediately tell that her hands in her sweatshirt pockets are pulling outward, trying to hide her condition. I've got a keen eye for such things, though, and clock her as pregnant in about two seconds.
"You're pregnant!" I exclaim, definitely less inebriated now but tongue apparently still significantly loosened. I might just get out of the way right now that that "keen eye" I mentioned for spotting pregnancies is just one facet of my deep and passionate pregnant fetish. As soon as I make the declaration, I'm alerted to the danger of such predilections coming to light, which would certainly make this poor girl uncomfortable/disgusted/horrified/etc. I can harmlessly exercise my general (even non-sexual!) fascination with pregnancy by having a nice polite conversation with this person, but I will be doing my damnedest not to make things weird for her. I think I'm at least sober enough for that.
She laughs nervously, face reddened, removing her hands from her pockets to place them directly atop her protruding midsection. "You got me!" she says quietly. "You are okay, though?"
I nod, blushing in turn. "I'm okay...I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to blurt that out, I don't mean to be nosy or anything." I pop a piece of gum as she comes closer. "What are you doing out here? I had to puke, you may have noticed. I'm Mark, by the way."
"Jenny." She smiles (very pretty!) and laughs. "Yes, you made your intentions out here very clear. As for me, my sorority sisters finally got me out of my room for a party for the first time since I started showing. I couldn't handle the smell in there, though: I was about to puke myself. Too loud even with my door closed to get any sleep, so I decided to get some quiet, fresh air out here. Aaaaaaand you came and puked in my yard." She laughs softly, as do I.
"Yeah, sorry about that. Is there a hose around or something?" She shakes her head. "Well, we can at least move away from it." I gesture toward the lawn chairs she was enjoying before I intruded. "Can we sit down?"
She puts her hands on her hips, belly protruding even further, and groans under her breath. "Yeah, I could get off my feet again." We sit next to each other, maybe two feet apart, angled perfectly to allow for eye contact but not require it. It's about 60 degrees out, a nice, clear late-April night. "I've gotta say, I did not expect someone to choose the awkward pregnant girl over the party."
I shake my head. "A lot of boring people in there. A seriously pregnant sorority girl in the backyard at 2:30 in the morning? Very interesting. No one's been keeping you company out here?"
