Foreword to readers:
This story is quite long, about 7000 words. The sexual component of the story only happens on the last few pages. A key component of this story relates to the metaphysical yogic concept of Kundalini. Succinctly, Kundalini refers to a form of primal energy (or shakti) said to be located at the base of the spine. Kundalini awakenings may happen through a variety of methods. Many systems of yoga focus on awakening Kundalini through: meditation; pranayama breathing; the practice of asana and chanting of mantras. The Kundalini experience is frequently reported to be a distinct feeling of electric current running along the spine. Kundalini experiences may involve spontaneous speaking, thoughts, or sensations, such as the ones mentioned in this story.
This is my first story, I hope you all enjoy. I'm planning on continuing this story in the future, based on how it is received.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Felix." His dulcet voice enraptured me the instant he sat himself down beside me, catching me totally unaware while I was probably cross-eyed, or had some dazed and silly look on my face.
My analytical brain started buzzing, and I couldn't help myself from studying his features. Blond hair, blue eyes, he was probably about 6'2", and I could see the definition of his chest through his horizontally striped black-and-white V-neck shirt. I couldn't process very much in that split-second, but it felt like my whole body lit up just looking at him. By this point, I must have been unconsciously gently biting my lower lip, and curling the corners of my mouth into a naughty snarl. At least I didn't start drooling; I've done that before.
Oh my God, get a hold of yourself, he just said hello,
I reprimanded myself internally.
"I'm Stacey", I blurted out, still unable to think straight.
Finally drawing myself out of my dreary little tangent, I realised I didn't even catch his name in the first place. Luckily, he was wearing a nametag emblazoned with '
Felix'.
So in quick addendum, now that my brain was no longer addled by his palpable charm, I added "it's a pleasure to meet you too, Felix."
We were chatting a little more; just small talk. He told me he was a Law student, and that he lives near the campus. I ventured a little bit of information about my thoughts on Brisbane, particularly as someone who isn't a local.
I was in my second year of dentistry at the University of Queensland, and since I'm Chinese I decided to sign up for this international student mentoring program where the university offers in-person training for domestic students to tutor internationals. I'm not actually a domestic student, since I'm originally from Auckland, but the university didn't seem to mind, and if things work out I'll be living and working here after my degree anyway. It seemed like a good opportunity, plus, I could put it on my CV.
Everyone was sorting their things and finding seats because the session was about to start, and with Felix sitting next to me I naturally assumed we'd be pairing up for the training session.
The instructors began giving us this rigmarole about the origins and purposes of the program. One of them seemed overly caffeinated, and the other one looked like a fashion nightmare, seriously; she wore lurid purple trainers with an equally gaudy hot pink dress.
Yawn, boring,
I thought. They didn't even seem to give us any new information, because we already had to do an online training session which covered all the details before coming to class. After about 30 minutes of their mindless, repetitive dross they announced that we'd be doing an activity in pairs. One of us would pretend to be the mentor, and the other one would pretend to be the international student requiring assistance.
They handed out these instructional booklets for us to read questions from, and we were each supposed to take turns asking questions. My eyes made an instant beeline to Felix, while I flicked my hair off my face and semi-consciously adjusted by floral singlet to show off my breasts just a little bit more.
He glanced back at me with a polite smile, and succinctly asked "Want to practice together?"
"Yes please". I said while nodding; evincing my wholehearted and unwavering commitment to his suggestion.
I took the first turn at reading from the booklet, pretending to be the international student, asking in a dull and uninspired voice where I can find the student services. Felix helpfully answered the question, even giving exact directions on how to locate the student services from our current location.
It was Felix's turn to ask me a question, and he started doing a hilarious accent. Immediately he piped up saying "Hello, I am Petrushka from Novosibirsk - is largest city in Siberia. I have come to your university to study engineering; nuclear engineering. So that I may steal your country's nuclear secrets for the motherland. Now could you please direct me on how to access student emails? I need to send information to KGB operatives in Moscow immediately."
I burst out laughing. Literally, I couldn't control myself. After a few moments of my intense furore Felix gently put his hand on my thigh to quell my laughter, saying sternly something along the lines of 'no need to laugh, is serious question', in the same accent.
I swallowed down my laughter and gave him instructions on how to access the university website, which links onto student emails from there.
Now that it was my turn, I decided two can play at the game of performing ridiculous accents. Immediately, I went on a tangent, saying "I am Ling from Beijing, my father pays lots of money from Chinese Communist government for me to study in Australia. Can you tell me about social event at your university? Because I am looking for white boyfriend."
His eyes
definitely
sparkled at that 'white boyfriend' line. Chaucer was the first to record the aphorism that truth is said in jest, and I had no doubt Felix saw the truth in my silly joke.
Things went back and forth between us, but we practically didn't even glance at the booklet from then on. Instead, we spent most of the time joking back and forth in silly accents, occasionally dropping little flirtatious hints.
