***SHE***
Manny was startled from her sleep by the heavy thud of a hand on her behind. Her eyes opened to find Kyle staring at her from an uncomfortable distance. He was squatting on the floor with his face just inches away. She could smell the cigarettes on his breath.
"Hey Manny," he hollered way too loud. He was grinning ear to ear. "Josh said you were up here sleeping, so I thought I would come up to say hi. You plan on sleeping through the party?"
"No, I'm gonna get up," she groaned. "What time is it now," she asked, noticing that his hand was still on her behind? "You planning on keeping that," she queried him, gesturing to his hand on her backside.
"Aw shit, no... sorry," Kyle flushed. "Living with a bunch of guys kind of fucks up your manners, ya know?"
"Sure Kyle, anything for a cheap feel, right?"
"Hmm," Kyle smirked. "Guess you all grown up now and sensitive about that stuff, huh?"
"Let's just say that grown women don't like hands on their ass. Now would you leave so I can get dressed, please," Manny requested, shoo-ing him away with her hands.
Throwing his hands up in a mock defense, Kyle started backing from the room. "Cool, I got you, you are a woman now. The Lady Emmanuelle. It's all good with me." Pulling the door closed as he left, Kyle stopped and re-entered the room. "It's really good to see you again Manny."
"You too Kyle," she smiled. "Now get the hell out!"

As expected, the party was pretty big. It always was. It was the end of hell week and the pledges from the various fraternities and sororities were being sworn in this weekend. As a result, this party was the classic where everyone was blowing off steam from the prior week. It will last well into the next morning, and more than a few crazy things will occur in the next 24 hours or so. Josh, however, only had one reason he was looking forward to this party. He knew that Jackie would be here, and she was single again. Maybe he would finally get her alone. She was a striking, tanned latin beauty, and he knew that every guy in the house would be hitting on her, but he had to find a way. He had to show her that he was not just looking for another notch on his bedpost. He really had serious feelings for her. He always had.
The entire campus knew about this party, most having been here in prior years. Frat brothers arrived en masse, showing off their colors. The sorority sisters did likewise, each with a pledge in tow. This party represented a stage for each house to show off their new pledge class, some even performing secret rituals in upstairs rooms. There were the jocks and members of other campus organizations; political groups; loners and the bored. It really was a campus wide event.
Josh had already had a few beers before the party started and was feeling nicely buzzed. Manny had not come downstairs yet, but he knew this was a big deal for her and she wanted to look just right; he wasn't worried. He was pretty distracted as he continually scanned the room for Jackie's arrival. Some of the other girls that were arriving tonight were looking pretty good though. This was the best looking pledge class he had seen in a few years. Maybe he'd get in a few dances with some of them later.
"Josh," Kyle called from the top of the stairs. "I think you need to see this, man." He was walking with Manny on his arm. Josh turned to see a long pair of legs ending in a sexy pair of black high heels. As they descended the staircase, he realized just how long his night was going to be.
"Emmanuelle," Josh whispered with more than a hint of awe. "It seems my little sister has grown up while I was away."
"So you approve," Manny asked, peering from behind the hair hanging over her face? She did a catwalk turn for Josh to take in the whole view. As she did, a whistle came from Kyle.
"You clean up nice, kiddo," Kyle followed.
"Yes you do,' said Josh. "You look awesome, Emmanuelle, just awesome."
"Thanks, big brother!" She leaned in close to whisper in his ear. "I hoped I wouldn't let you down." She kissed his cheek, and then ran her finger across his face to wipe the lipstick off. "Now I'm going to see what a college party is all about. C'mon Kyle, show me around!" She grabbed his arm and dragged Kyle into the heart of the party, turning back to wink at Josh.
"Oh man, am I in trouble." Josh lamented....

Manny seemed to be fitting in nicely. She was earning her share of attention from the college guys; some of it she saw, most of it she didn't. She had accomplished her task of not sticking out like a high school girl. None of the guys had gotten pushy with her, so all was well. The passing hours and several more drinks had made his mood somber and Jackie was nowhere to be seen. He was leaning up against the wall, wondering if Jackie would ever show up when he saw Manny dancing with a guy. She always was a dancer, regardless of the music, even when she was little. It was a typical party dance tune, and most of the room was moving to the beat, but he just stood and watched Manny in her newly mature beauty.
It was a long way from Manny's sexy black heels to the bottom of her little black dress. It ended just a little too high on her thighs, and was tight enough for Josh to assume she was wearing a thong; at least he hoped she was, because there was no sign of underwear from the dress. The fabric shimmered as she moved, reflecting tiny flashes of light. Underneath was a tight, shapely pair of cheeks, no doubt toned by the miles of chasing a soccer ball. The dress snaked up her body, clinging for its very life. The front ended in a halter top secured around her neck, and the low back showed her finely toned back and shoulders. Josh noticed that she had gained some shape since he saw her last; her chest had filled out. Her breasts were not large, but they swayed and danced freely below the shimmering fabric; again there was no sign of underwear. This was a vast change from the training gear he had become accustomed to seeing her in.
Manny's normally wavy brown hair had been brushed out straight. It was long enough now to reach her shoulders, although it rarely settled there as she danced about the room. She tossed her head about as she surrendered herself to the music. Dancing was the only time during which she ever let her guard down completely, often leaving her dance partners in no man's land as she did. It was as if the music was playing through her; she was the instrument from which the sounds emanated. Her motions were sensual, and often erotic. It was a long time before Josh realized he was leering at his own sister. His growing lustful thoughts were enough to stir him from his hypnotic state. The empty glass in his hand needed a refill.
The basement bar had everything that Josh required. Jackie was there talking with a few other girls. His eyes lit up as he approached her; his hands unconsciously making sure his hair was not too mussed. She was so beautiful, as close to perfection as any woman could be, at least in his eyes. She had long silky black hair which cascaded down past her shoulders, framing the perfect skin of her face. It was her bright eyes and the sincerity of her smile that first attracted him, but it was the person within that kept him. She was no petite fashion model, but her healthy curves commanded Josh's desire.
One of the girls heralded his arrival, and Jackie turned to greet Josh. Her smile was genuine, but not as bright as he had expected. By this late hour, she had consumed her share of drinks, and was quite drunk. She leaned forward to greet him with a hug, and almost fell off her stool. Josh caught her and was able to sit her upright, but knew she should be cut off.
"Hi Jossssshhhhh," Jackie slurred. "Been a long time. How'r you doin?" She was oblivious to the fact that Josh had saved her from falling. She sat with an arm around his shoulders as she spoke. Her heavy breasts pushed firmly up against his chest.
"I'm good Jackie. How have you been?" Josh could see by her mascara that she must have been crying recently, but chose not to tread there just yet.
"Well," she responded, "I just had a fight with that asshole of an ex of mine. He came to my dorm trying to get me back, saying that ugly bitch meant nothing to him..." Her voiced trailed off as new tears welled in her eyes. She was deeply hurting and Josh could see it.
"Hey," he said trying to salvage her mood. "I'm sure a beautiful girl like you would have no problems finding another guy. You never know where the perfect guy is standing. Heck, it could even be me," Josh threw in, fishing for any positive sign.
