At last there! It had been a long journey to this modest shared apartment in the city of the not-so-famous university she had been admitted in. Anna dropped her backpack and suitcase on the floor of her room and looked around. Or, in fact, the room shared by herself and someone else. The bed of the someone else was open, there was a laptop computer on one of the two small desks available, and some clothes were lying around. Her bed was on the other side of the room, there would not be too much privacy here. But this was the best her parents could afford her; no big fat scholarship.
There was another bedroom room like this next to this one, occupied by two young female students as well, in an apartment with a living room, bathroom, separate toilet, and a kitchen.
Anna looked around, knocking on the other bedroom door to introduce herself. Nobody answered, so she did not look in. Then she started unpacking her clothes and other things to the empty closet and dresser available; she assumed that they were for her. She sat at the other desk and set his laptop up to the WLAN connection promised; it was fine.
All set.
Sunday afternoon, there was chatter, the door swung open, and a young woman stormed in. In ultra-tight jeans, a loose shirt with an extremely generous neckline, and high heels.
Hmm, they have been partying. The thing to do in a city like this during weekends, if you have the money for it. Anna was from a small town, where young people were expected to behave well, under the eyes of the whole community.
– Hello there, I'm Sheila. You must be my new roommate then?
– Yes I am, arrived yesterday. Anna, pleased to meet you.
– Pleased to meet you too. Come, let's meet the other two girls.
Sheila knocked on the other bedroom door.
– Hey guys, Anna is here, my new roommate!
– Just a minute, we'd better change our clothes first.
Change their clothes first?
Soon two young women came out, in comfortable college sweaters and loose jeans. They introduced themselves as Dorrie and Cherry. Cherry was not her real given name though, she said, but everybody called her Cherry.
In the evening, they cooked a meal together and talked the basics: where they were from, who was studying what and how far she was in her studies. The one who lived here before Anna had recently graduated and moved away. The three girls laughed saying that their studies had kind of been delayed recently. Not mine ever, cannot be, no way, Anna thought, I do not have the money to linger around here. Fast graduation, then a good job.
At bedtime, Anna was sitting on her bed in her pajamas, reading something, while Sheila was undressing.
– Look, Anna, I'm in the habit of sleeping nude. Would it disturb you to see me that way?
– No, I've seen nude women before. In the same bedroom too.
– Ever been with one?
Anna was blushing but decided to be frank. After all, she would live in the same room with Sheila for a couple of years. What would be the point of keeping secrets of oneself, if the roommate was curious about personal matters?
– I had a couple of love affairs, intimate, with women, but I haven't had a long-term intimate girlfriend.
– Boyfriends?
– I had a long-term boyfriend, but we have decided to go our separate ways. There it too much distance now, it would not work out.
– Any other boys?
– Oh my you are curious! Yes, I did sleep with other boys, during that relationship too. We are young only once, aren't we, what's the point of sticking to one man only?
– How did he take that? Among the youth, in a small town, he could not help hearing about your girl and boy affairs.
– Well, to tell the truth, he spanked me a little, and then forgave me
– You liked the spanking?
– It was easier to take the spanking first and then think that I was forgiven. But yes, I liked it, as a physical experience. But now, good night! Sleep well!
Anna did not get sleep too soon. She was pondering Sheila's questions. As if she was not merely curious, but was driving at something?
Next few days, university bureaucracy, where-is-what, planning studies, hoping to someday have the time to go downtown and learn to know the city.
Wednesday morning, when Anna stepped out of the bedroom to go and brush her teeth, she saw Sheila saying good morning to the two girls in the other bedroom. With deep, wet kisses between the three, hands going all around.
– All right guys, don't let me disturb you.
OK, three lesbians then, Anna thought while brushing her teeth. What can you expect in an apartment shared by women? That was the reason for those questions of Sheila earlier. Fine, if they want to make it an affair of four, I will be in. I have seen Sheila nude a few times, and I would not mind her in my bed at all. She is good looking and smart. Likewise seem to be the others. But I do miss my bygone boyfriend now; someday I will find a man for me in this city. But that is in the Someday Agenda.
Indeed, that evening, while Anna was reading in bed, Sheila sat down naked on her bedside.
– Anna, do you really need that pajamas? It is quite warm here.
Anna laughed briefly at her approach, moved the blanket out of the way, moved a little to make room next to herself, and sat up.
– Please help me take the top part away then!
Soon Anna was bare down to the waist, and the two women were fondling one another, kissing. Then Anna firmly pulled Sheila next to her, and covered them with the blanket.
