After I left university last summer (after gaining a BSc in computer science), I moved back to Sussex - still a bit of a geek and, I admit, still a virgin, I decided that this ridiculous situation had to change. My girlfriend at my public school was the daughter of a vicar and never allowed me to put my hands up her blouse in case her father found out. But she taught me how to kiss well - or so her friends said! There were no girls on my course at college, and meeting them was difficult as I am very shy.
Last winter, just before Christmas, when I got home, there was tension in our house as my housemate, Roger, had returned home from work and found that his girlfriend, nineteen year old Sarah, had used her key to let her into the house having come round uninvited as her college had closed for Christmas. He was intending to spend the evening with a new girl he had met at a club last weekend. Roger had an argument with Sarah and told her to leave. She was devastated that he intended to have a new MOR (meaningful overnight relationship) with someone new.
I like Sarah a lot, she's a pretty medium length blonde student in her late teens. Sarah left the house and stood sobbing in the garden occasionally swearing that Roger is a total bastard. I went outside and offered to drive her to her best friend Angela's flat in Brighton after she had phoned to see if she was at home. Angela said she would be home in a couple of hours.
When we got there twenty minutes later, we nipped into a local pub to wait where we discussed Roger's lack of moral scruples which she knew about having been 'acquired' in a similar fashion a few weeks previously. She asked me why I don't have a girlfriend and I told her that I am very shy having never had an opportunity to lose my virginity. We talked about our respective problems over quite a few drinks before stumbling up the hill to Angela's flat.
In the pub, once the booze had loosened our shyness, Sarah said that she was too upset to spend the night alone and if I was willing, she would like to help me with my problem as I was helping her with hers.
Angela let us in and Sarah while she explained that Roger had dumped her and needed a bed for the night. After we all finished a bottle of wine Angela showed us to the guest bedroom which was very cold while I explained that I was much too drunk to drive home.
