Her name was Carla and she was absolutely stunning. I had been in love with her since high school. She was a redhead, which always got me going, and she was petite, about 5'2 with a tight body with large breasts. I had always assumed that she was way out of my league. After graduating from high school, I got a scholarship to the local university in sciences, so I started there. It wasn't until my first class in chemistry that I saw her. How could I not notice the woman of my dreams sitting in my class.
A few weeks after school had started, I was sitting in the commons of the university when I heard an unmistakable voice. "Malcom?" I looked up and there she was, wearing a tight sweater that did wonders for showing off her tits, and jeans that equally showed off her resplendent ass.
"Uhh, hi Carla." I responded, meekly.
"Wow, I didn't think I would see you here."
"You didn't?"
"No, I figured you'd be off at Harvard or Yale, you were always so much smarter than the other kids in our classes." I was shocked that she had ever even noticed me. I won't lie, I wasn't much to look at. I had always been skinny, and even though I was tall, the lack of discernible muscle made it difficult for women to find me attractive. Additionally, for most of high school I had had a fairly serious acne problem, so I wasn't really raking in the girls. I had made up for this gangly, unattractive appearance by focusing on my studies and doing pretty well. I had received a number of offers from more competitive schools than this one, but my family didn't have the money to pay for them, so I had stuck to a local one.
"No, I couldn't scrape together the kind of money to go that far from home."
"Yeah, I hear you. It's great to see you. There aren't a lot of us here." She was right, our high school had been pretty small and most of the people smart enough had done whatever they could to get out of our town, or had not been smart enough to go to university in the first place.
"None of your friends?" I asked.
"Not really. Stacy and Jasmine both went to New York for fashion, and Laurie went to LA for acting." Carla's friends had been almost as attractive as her, and as a group, they had been the queens of our school.
"That sucks." I responded.
"What about you, Malcolm? Where are Fernando, Lee, and Oliver?" I was once again shocked that she knew who my friends were.
"Uhhh, Fernando went to UCLA for engineering, Lee to MIT for computer science, and Oliver to Yale for business."
"Wow, that is quite the pedigree for your friends." She sat down beside me and turned her legs towards me. My mouth dried up quickly.
"Yeah... Well, their families are pretty well off, so they can afford it."
"So, what kinds of classes are you taking, Malcolm?" I told her what classes I was taking and she exclaimed "Oh, I'm in that chemistry class too! Would you mind sitting with me?"
"No, of course I wouldn't mind." I responded.
We continued our small talk about what we were planning to do at school and then Carla had to run to her next class. She leaned over and gave me a peck on the cheek as she left, leaving me almost swooning as I struggled to catch a glimpse of her magnificent ass as she ran away.
For the next several weeks, Carla and I sat together in our Chemistry class. She was always delightful, and even flirty sometimes. We chatted about a number of things, not least of which was her love life.
"So, you and Dennis are no longer dating?"
"No, he found other things to occupy himself with."
"I'm sorry about that." I lied. Dennis had been the school jock and had always bullied kids in the lower grades. He was a classic lacrosse player, all machismo and bravado and no real redeemable qualities.
"You shouldn't be, sweety. It just means that you and I can spend more time together." I smiled at the very prospect.
Over the next month, Carla and my relationship blossomed. I had never really expected her to be so wonderful in so many ways, but it turned out that she was as amazing as I had always dreamed her to be. Of course, I was never going to be the one to make the first move, considering that I had no reason to believe that she would want to be with me. Which is why I was shocked when she asked me out on a date after class one day.
"Like, an actual date?" I asked.
"Yes, silly, an actual date. You and I, going on a date." She replied.
"I would like that very much." I responded.
"Great, pick me up at my place at 5:30pm. You know where it is?" She asked. I knew where it was. I had done drive-by's of her house a number of times throughout my high school years, hoping to catch just a glimpse of her away from her friends.
"I think I remember." I said.
She reached out for my hand and wrote her address on it. "Just in case you forget."
I spent hours that afternoon getting ready. Choosing the right outfit, coiffing my hair over and over again, choosing a cologne and then showering when I didn't like it. By the time it was 5pm, my parents thought that I had gone insane. I explained to them that Carla was the girl of my dreams, but they just laughed it off, thinking I was clueless. In retrospect, they were right. I was a clueless, lanky, dorky, virgin who was about to go on a date that would change my life forever.
I pulled up outside of Carla's house and got out of the car. I walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. Carla's father opened the door. His name was Ivan, and he was a big man. He was a contractor and he appeared to do a lot of the heavy lifting. He was around 6'4 and looked to be at least 240lbs of ropy muscle. He was wearing a tight t-shirt that showed off his pecs and biceps clearly and a pair of baggy jeans. I couldn't help but look him up and down and I saw that there was a thick tube of something in the area of his groin.
"Malcolm, right?" His voice was deep and powerful.
"Yes, sir." I responded.
"Sir? I like that. Well, come on in, Carla is getting ready." He gestured me inside.
Inside the house, just past the entryway, I saw that there was a living room with two other people in it. I was shocked by who was there. The first person was Carla's older brother, Xavier. He clearly took a lot from his dad, being tall and fit as well. I had known him somewhat in high school, but he had been a few years older and hadn't had much time for us. He hadn't been a jock, and had gone on to work for his dad.
What really shocked me was that, sitting close to Xavier was Dennis, Carla's ex-boyfriend. As I walked in, I thought I had caught a glimpse of Dennis rubbing Xavier's thigh. Xavier was playing a video game and it looked like Dennis was just watching.
"Don't bother those two, Xavier is busy beating all the newbs and Dennis loves to watch." Ivan said to me. "Come on into the kitchen." I did as he asked. Ivan went to the fridge and pulled out a beer. He tossed it to me and I caught it. He then pulled out another one for himself and opened it. I tried to do the same, but it didn't appear that the bottle had a twist off. "Here, let me." Ivan traded my beer for his and opened it up. There must have been some trick to it. I took a swig of the beer and it tasted good. Some kind of import that I wasn't aware of.
"So, you're taking Carla on a date?" Ivan asked.
"Yes, sir. I'll have her home before late."
"Whatever. Just do what she wants. She is a handful, but she is still my girl. You have full permission to do whatever she wants you to. She has had a tough time of it, and you look like a good kid, so treat her right."
"Yes, sir."
Just then, Carla came around the corner, looking stunning. She was wearing a red dress, which did wonders to show off her red hair and her blue eyes. She was wearing black heels and a black belt, which made her look appropriately slutty. I loved it.
"Wow." I said.
"Wow is good." She responded. "Daddy, don't tell me you have scared poor Malcolm off with one of your talks."
"Not at all, honey. I just told him to treat you right." Ivan walked over to his daughter and bent down to kiss her on the head.
"Damn right he will." She said. Carla walked over to me and took my hand and dragged me away. "Bye, daddy! Bye, Xavier! See you in a few hours."
We left the building, still hand-in-hand, only breaking once we got to the car. I, doing my best attempt at being a gentleman, opened the door for Carla. I then got in the car and started it.
"So where are we going, stud?" She asked.
"I got us a reservation at a nice restaurant and then thought we could go see that play that is in town."
"Oooh, fancy. I like."
For the next several hours, I was in heaven. Carla was perfection. She laughed at my jokes, asked me questions about myself, we regaled each other on our plans for life, and she flirted with me incessantly. The restaurant had great food (not that it mattered much, as I was feasting my eyes on Carla), the play was funny and sad, which ended with Carla resting against my arm, sobbing quietly, and Carla made out with me in the parking lot.
