Matt awoke to a foot gently nudging his shoulder and his name being whispered by a soft, feminine voice.
"Matt... Matt, wake up..."
He smiled, remembering last night. He cracked his eyes open, hoping to see Katie semi-clothed or (fingers crossed) naked. Instead, the sun streaming through the window haloed the blonde hair of his human alarm clock.
"C'mon, wake up, little brother." Amanda had made her way back to the dorm. "It's almost 10 o'clock."
Matt grumbled, rubbing his eyes. He sat up and looked around the room. Katie was not in bed and was nowhere in sight. Amanda was standing in front of him, wearing the same clothes as last night, albeit not as neatly.
"Whoa! Are you naked?!?" Amanda had seen his bare chest.
"Hmm? No, I have boxers on."
Amanda shook her head.
"Oh, Matt... you've gotta be more careful. Did Katie see you like this?"
Matt's mind flashed back to last night, when Katie yanked his boxers off and marveled at his erect cock.
"Yeah, I think so," he replied.
"Great, she was already pissed at me for ditching you guys last night. I'm going to hear about this later."
Matt smiled. He seriously doubted that she would be hearing the full story.
Amanda announced that she was taking a shower and walked into the bathroom she and Katie shared with their suitemates. Matt rolled over, grabbed his jeans from yesterday, and fumbled through his pockets until he found his phone. Seven text messages.
Five of the texts were from Sheila. She had messaged him multiple times the night before.
*I MISS U BABY*
*I HOPE UR HAVING FUN*
*CALL ME BEFORE U GO TO BED*
Then, twice more that morning.
*ITS OK THAT YOU DIDNT CALL LAST NIGHT. CALL ME TODAY OK?*
And, most interestingly,
*I THOUGHT ABOUT U LAST NIGHT*
The phrase "I thought about you" was Matt and Sheila's code for masturbation. She had masturbated to a fantasy about the two of them last night. He felt a surge of guilt; he had cheated on his girlfriend. It was an odd feeling, if only because he felt no urge to confess. He knew he should, but he definitely did not want to. Also, he really wanted to have sex again. As soon as possible. And not necessarily with Sheila. Maybe the guilt would go away with time.
The other texts were from Katie, who had given him her phone number the night before just in case they got separated at the party. The first was a selfie from that morning; she was standing in the dorm room, wearing the same tanktop and panties he had seen slip under her sheets the night before. Her dazzling smile lit up the screen. The text below it read:
*GOOD MORNING SEXY. I WISH I'D HAD TIME TO WAKE YOU UP PROPERLY THIS MORNING BUT I HAD TECH REHEARSAL FOR THE PLAY. IF YOU STILL WANT TO GO TONIGHT MEET ME IN THE LOBBY OF THE FORBES CENTER AT 5.*
Matt stared at the photo for several minutes, transfixed by her piercing eyes and glowing smile. Amanda re-entered the room.
"So, did you have fun last night?" she asked. Matt frantically locked his phone to hide Katie's photo.
"Uh... yeah. Yeah, it was great," he stammered. His mind replayed the memory of Katie, writhing and grinding on top of him.
"And, Katie? She took good care of you?"
Another flashback, this time of Katie's body twitching and quivering uncontrollably as they came together.
"Uh... uh-huh," he managed to respond. He felt his penis stiffen at the memory; he adjusted the blankets, trying to hide it.
Amanda was wearing her cheerleading uniform. She told him that she had practice before the football game this afternoon and, if he wanted to go to the game, he could get a free ticket from the dorm building's front desk. She apologized for abandoning him again, but she really had to go. He could use the shower in the shared bathroom. She didn't think the girls from next door were here. Amanda smiled, waved goodbye, and was out the door.
Matt unlocked his phone. The photo of Katie greeted him and he smiled back at her. He scrolled down to see her second message.
*OMG! I JUST SAW THIS ON TWITTER!*
He clicked the link at the bottom of the message. It opened a video. Grainy, dark footage of the outside of Hamilton Hall, captioned with "big man on campus". The video played automatically and he heard Katie's orgasmic ecstasy from the night before.
"AH! FUCK ME! FUCK ME HARDER! FUCK ME DEEP WITH THAT VIRGIN COCK!"
Matt laughed in embarrassment. He knew that she had yelled directly out the window, and he knew that it was impossible that no one had heard her, but he had not expected it to be posted online. At least neither of them was visible in the video.
Groggily, Matt rose to his feet, rubbing his eyes and staggering. His head was throbbing. The events of last night had left him hungover and dehydrated. He stumbled into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and stuck his face under it, drinking directly from it. He looked around the countertop for some kind of pain reliever. He pushed aside prescription bottles and a birth control pill case until he found a bottle of aspirin. He fumbled it open, poured two pills into his hands, filled his mouth with water from the faucet, and tilted his head back, dropping the pills inside and swallowing.
Matt wandered back into Amanda and Katie's room, kneeling down next to the futon to gather his toiletries out of his bag. He saw his phone again.
He should call Katie, he thought. No, he *wanted* to call Katie. He *should* call Sheila. Maybe a shower would clear his head.
***
The water temperature gradually warmed as Matt stood outside of the running shower. He stuck in his hand, confirmed it was safe to enter, slid his boxers off, and climbed inside, closing the opaque palm-tree patterned shower curtain behind him. He showered in a daze, rivulets of water running down his toned chest.
Last night had actually happened. He had lost his virginity. Finally. A small part of him was disappointed that he had not waited until marriage, but, mostly, he felt relief. The pressure was off, in more ways than one. And, now, he would be able to be the experienced hand that led Sheila into womanhood.
