Before I start, I will disclose that the names in the story are changed, so if they match someone you know, this story is not about someone you know.
So, growing up in Southern California meant my wardrobe basically consisted of halter tops, tube tops, short skirts and sundresses; all of which were pretty much interchangeable except the tube tops. As every female knows, wearing those actually did require a bit of forethought. If an activity was very active or required your arms to be raised above your head, you were almost guaranteed a wardrobe malfunction. So going to a beach volleyball game or a job where you are getting objects continuously from a top shelf would be hazardous to a girl's modesty. Also, wearing a tub top on a date was absolutely forbidden, for obvious reasons. Luckily, my job at the ice cream parlor meant I never had to reach above my head so I was free to wear whatever I wanted.
Physically I had long almost black hair, hazel eyes, 5'5" and would guess a 34c-25-34 body. I never considered myself glamorous and rarely wore make up; however, I would still get a lot of looks and cat calls when passing a construction site. Seriously, do those guys ever work? Basically I was much more Marianne than Ginger and was not expecting to be cast for a Bay Watch scene.
Another important fact to the story was that I was very shy and my father was ex-military and very strict. As a result, instead of dating in high school I developed a very close set of friends who were both males and females, but not any official boyfriends. That is not to say that I did not go out on dates, just that they were always group dates so I never had a serious boyfriend.
Consequently, I decided to reinvent myself in college. I vowed that I would no longer be the shy wall flower, so after meeting my new dorm mates a group of us went to our first frat party. I did not really know what to expect and while we had talked about sticking together, within a few minutes I found myself talking to a guy with a drink in my hand. I found myself dancing with the guys who did not think of me as just a friend. I actually had to move the guy's hand from various body parts. It was still somewhat of a surprise when he asked me to go to his room.
While I had to decline his offer as I was not yet ready that much attention, I did have to smile inside. I was actually being desired. From that time on, whenever I went to a party I almost always found someone for dancing. However, along with the offers to dance came offers for sex. Not sure why college guys think that just because a girl will dance with them that they are also going to sleep with them. As a result, at the end of my freshman year of college, I returned home with a lot more confidence but still very little experimentation. On the down side, returning to the group of high school friends meant returning to my role of cute sister, or so I thought.
So, my story takes place during the summer between our freshman and sophomore years of college. On this occasion we had plans to go to a movie together as one of our last get togethers, not the last one but getting close to it. Given that this was an inactive group event I had no problem throwing on a comfortable tube top and short skirt and heading off to work. For some reason the tip jar seemed to fill a bit more on tube top days but who knows why. Anyways, my shift finally ended at 6:00 but when I made my way to the usual meeting spot instead of the group 10, only Bill was standing there.
"Hi Bill, what's going on?" I asked. Now Bill was about 6' tall, blonde hair, blue eyes and was on the high school baseball team. Also, he stayed in shape through his first year of college. In my opinion he was the cutest guy in our group and I am quite sure the other girls would agree. He was wearing the usual So Cal casual guy stuff as in shorts and tank top, how clichΓ©. On the plus side it did show off his muscular body quite well which was never a disappointment.
"Everyone went to the beach and they sent me to come get you. But to tell you the truth, I would rather go to the movie like we planned if that is ok with you?"
I was not prepared to go to the beach and was kind of mad that they had changed the plans without letting me know. "Sure, whatever. If they can have a spontaneous beach trip we can have a spontaneous not beach trip."
Ken had a perplexed look as he replied, "uhh, so we are going to the movie?"
"Yeah, let's go to the movie." Bill did not always get my witty humor.
As we walked through the mall Ken took my hand, which sent sparks up my arm. I
