The next day was a Saturday, and Sarah and Charlotte were relaxing in their dorm room.
Charlotte was sitting on the couch wearing a long-sleeved dress that went down to her ankles, and reading a a paper copy of the Wall Street Journal--and odd quirk that Hannah suspected was an affectation for a 19 year old college student.
Hannah sat at their suite's kitchen table, wearing a loose black t-shirt and jeans and reading a novel and listening to music on headphones, when her phone beeped with a text alert.
"Hey sweetie! It's Jess! I'm on campus and wanted to see if you wanted to grab a coffee!"
"Why not?" Hannah thought to herself, thinking of her sister's exhortations from the previous night.
She texted back and the girls made arrangements to meet at a coffee shop a short walk from Hannah's dorm.
When Hannah got to the shop, she saw Jessica was already there, waiting in line. She wore a spaghetti strap tank top that cut off immediately below her breasts and was low cut-off enough that it looked like her breasts would fall out with the slightest provocation. She had cut-off denim shorts that left the the lower half of her butt hanging out, and her bare feet were covered in high-heeled sandals. Hannah noticed she wasn't wearing her spade necklace, but that a spade anklet hung from her right foot.
"HANNAH!" Jessica squealed excitedly when she saw her. She ducked out of line and rushed to embrace her. Hannah felt a blush of embarrassment at the loud greeting, which only deepened when Jessica's almost fully exposed breasts pressed against her body in a tight embrace.
"Good morning Jessica..." Hannah said..."We uh...kind of lost our place in line."
Jessica turned around and saw the long line of students looking to get caffeine to battle hangovers from the previous night.
"So we did!" she giggled. "But that just gives us more time to talk!"
The girls sidled into line together.
"So...I spoke to Sarah last night" Hannah mentioned.
"OH!" Jessica chirped. "How is our girl?"
"She uhhh...seemed like she's been making lots of new friends..." Hannah responded.
"Oh and HOW!" Jessica smiled. "I'm so proud of her--she's really come out of her shell!"
"So..." Hannah said, changing the subject. "Lucas is your boyfriend?"
A mischievous glimmer flashed across Jessica's eyes.
"He's definitely a boy...who's a friend...but I wouldn't call him a boyfriend? Who needs labels?"
"Oh..." Hannah said..."You seemed very...ummmm......familiar.....in the cafeteria..."
"Well of course he fucks my brains outs! But so do lots of men! And lots of women!"
Hannah made an awkward squeaking sound and glanced around, shocked that Jessica would so loudly make such a private statement surrounded by so many people!
