I had not really planned to end up in bed with Ron, but things like that happen in college. I had actually gone to the dorm mixer the first week of class, despite being a junior. I was mostly to watch the freshmen act amazed at their 'first college party' and to check out the new talent. There were actually not that many guys there, but one of the ones I knew from last year introduced me to Ron, grinning as he told me he was my type of guy. I was not really sure what he meant by that since Ron was o.k. looking but nothing special. Brown hair, average height, an o.k. body I guess but nothing remarkable. He was not real talkative either, and I guessed he was pretty shy.
I did dance with him three or four times though, since he was one of the few guys there and as always, there were more girls who wanted to dance than guys. He did not really know how to dance at all but he was enthusiastic without making a fool of himself, which was nice. I left the party pretty late, since there were a lot of people to talk to even if there were not enough guys. He had left a bit before me, and as I was going through the entryway to my wing there was Ron, getting comfortable on the couch.
"Loose your key? The desk can give you one."
"No, my roommate has the flag up, so I guess I will just crash out here for a bit."
He seemed embarrassed.
I tried not to roll my eyes. Freshmen guys always come up with elaborate schemes to warn each other if "OMG I have a girl in here (a real female girl!) don't come in." Then their roommates spend all night sleeping on the couch rather than risking disturbing anything. How long can Freshman sex last anyway?
I was not real taken with Ron, but I'm too nice a person to let someone sleep on a couch all night because they are too shy to knock on their own door.
"My roomie is gone for the weekend, so you can crash at my place. C'mon."
He looked surprised and not sure what to say.
"C'mon, its a bed, and way more comfortable than a couch." I smiled at him, but he still seemed tongue-tied, although his mind seemed to be going mile a minute. "You're not going to use this opportunity to molest me are you?" I said, looking at him severely.
"No, no" he said, although I'm pretty sure this was the first time a woman had ever asked him to spend the night with him.
"Well that's disappointing" I said, "but I guess you can come up anyway."
I was not actually planning on having sex with him, and shy guys are not usually what I go for, but he was adorable as we headed upstairs, trying to figure out if he should hold my hand or put his hand on my ass or what. I was tired and ready for bed, and he was having the most exciting night of his young college career.
When we got to my door I told him to wait outside and quickly slipped into shorts and a tee for sleeping in and then opened the door for him. He slipped in quickly, like he was afraid someone would see him, and looked around. Neither of us was really done unpacking, and the place was a mess. I was kind of embarrassed, and I was sure not sexy-looking in old shorts and a shirt so large you could barely see me in it.
"Crap." I said, looking up. "She took her sheets."
"Huh?"
I pointed up. "She took her sheets. No idea why."
I looked at him. "So do you want to go back to the couch, or sleep with me in my bed?"
He looked at me like I had grown two heads.
"Um I'm fine with staying here, if you are o.k. with it. I can sleep on the carpet or something."
"I'm not letting a guest sleep on the carpet. I'm sure you will behave yourself." He nodded, and the conversation sort of died.
"Look, I need to go rinse off." I dug another one of my giant shirts out of the drawer and handed it too him. "I don't have a toothbrush for you, but I guess you could steal some of Lisa's mouthwash. Sorry it's not too fancy here."
I went down the hall for a quick shower, and was half asleep by the time I got back. I had been up early drinking beer with some of my old friends, and had sobered up enough to dance myself silly in the evening, but now I was about to drop. When I got back Ron's clothes were neatly folded on the chair, and he was standing there looking like he felt silly in a girl's large orange t-shirt that was hanging down so far I could barely see his boxers.
"Well, don't you look adorable." He blushed. I yawned.
"Look, I'm exhausted, and I'm going to sleep. I take it you are joining me?" He nodded, and I climbed into bed and slid over a bit. "See, plenty of room." He got in, and I gave him the better pillow and was asleep within five minutes.
I woke up maybe an hour later. I knew this would happen, since I always wake up in the middle of the night when I crash like that. I wanted to turn over without waking him. His body was not touching mine at all, although I could feel his warmth and I could hear his breathing. I listened for a bit and it did not sound like he was asleep. I was almost completely awake, but I rolled over slowly, just peeking through my eyelids. There was plenty of light in the room, and I could tell he was wide awake and, no doubt, staring at the woman he was in bed with. I lifted my head up and yawned.
"Can't sleep?"
"Just looking at you. You look great." I think he had been working on that line for the last hour.
I giggled. "How can I look great? It's so dark you can barely see me." I bent my arm and looked at him with my head resting on my hand. "I think you are just saying that because you like being in bed with a nearly naked women."
I think he wanted to say something, but all he did was swallow. I reached out and played with his hair a little.
"You know I'm not the type who normally goes to bed with a guy on the first date." This was flagrantly untrue, and it was not really a date anyway. I scooted a little closer to him, and he stiffened up a little.
"I take it this is not normal for you either?"
He shook his head. "No, I've never done anything like this."
