Damn, but the fall semester had flown by, Sami thought as she walked to her class in the first weeks of the spring semester.
That fall semester had started with a few surprises for Sami-girl. Well, of course, there was the finally-got-into-her-panties thing with Bonnie-baby; but that wasn't the biggest surprise, believe it or not.
________________________________
First of all, Toni's girlfriend from back home, enrolled as a freshman; she and Toni finagled a way to room together. That was very cool actually, thought Sami, but the downside was that she and T would not be doing each other as much; not as much, but they still remained roommates on road trips, and their friendship still remained strong. For them, that was more important than the sex, but they still had the sex when traveling with the team, make no mistake.
And then, the mystery of Billie; Billie had not returned to school that fall, and when Sami tried to reach her on her cell phone, and then, later, at her home phone, Sami found both numbers disconnected. That caused Sami concern and she was at a dead end to pursue it further, but still, she remained concerned.
She and Melissa had run together for only two weeks, but, because of her student teaching responsibilities, Melissa had to cut back to only weekend running with Sami.
Bonnie, dear sweet, sit-on-my-face, Bonnie; she'd definitely become a pussy-lover, more so than Sami thought herself to be. Bonnie's night of discovery at the end of the summer semester had unleashed a side of Bonnie that she didn't realize was inside of her.
Simply said, Bonnie was ready to get naked and fuck Sami at the drop of a hat, or the drop of a bra. Those first two weeks after that night? Bonnie amused herself on a nightly basis by kneeling between Sami's legs and devouring Sami's pussy. The girl couldn't get enough of Sami-girl's pussy.
But, Sami wasn't complaining, mind you.
Sami was doing well with both school and athletics, and all in all, she had little to complain about, Sami thought, as she reached her building for her class, nothing at all.
No, the biggest surprise for Sami during that fall semester had been the affair she started with a married woman.
_____________________________
When Melissa had to quit running on a daily basis, Sami changed her running time so that she would begin running an hour earlier, hitting the running paths around six or so.
She had noticed a woman running daily, at the same time and they usually ran 'near' each other, both keeping a similar pace; on the third morning, the woman slowed down, near the end of the run, to let Sami catch her. And when Sami pulled alongside, the woman picked up her pace to stay along side of Sami.
They ran for about another mile, pacing each other, but not saying anything, keeping their wind for the running. At the end of that run, as they walked around, cooling off, the woman introduced herself to Sami.
Jena was a graduate assistant at the University, both she and her husband, Jeff; they both taught freshman courses at school, she, in Microbiology and he, in Applied Physics.
Brief bios of each followed as they grabbed a cup of coffee, at the kiosk, on the square. Since they both liked to run in the cooler air of the early morning hours, they agreed to run together, safety in numbers and all that.
Jena was an attractive woman in her mid-twenties, a few inches shorter than Sami and toned, with a slender, runner's body; not skinny or emaciated, just 'toned'. She and Sami ran well together, both of them pushing each other; though the competition was a non-verbal one, it was there, nevertheless.
Twice a week, Sami didn't have classes until 10, and on those same days, Jena's teaching load was afternoon labs. The rest of the week, Jena taught in the morning and attended classes of her own, in the afternoon.
Jena and Jeff rented an apartment near the college, and twice a week, Sami would have coffee with Jena, at her apartment. Over the course of a month or so, they had become closer, almost at the stage of being 'friends'. And one morning, when Sami rose to leave, to return to her dorm, Jena hugged Sami in goodbye, and kissed her on the lips; a little peck, no tongue, but with a hint of something more, ya' know?
"Now, that was a good run," Jena said to Sami between gulps from her water bottle, and trying to get a lungful of air.
"Yeah, it was, but it damned near sucked all of the oxygen from my lungs trying to breathe in this fog," Sami replied, between gasps for air.
The high humidity of New Orleans makes running a bit of a challenge to begin with; add a warm, foggy morning to the mix and well, it's a bitch.
"Coming over for coffee?" Jena asked as she walked in circles to cool down; both of them soaked through and through from the run, from the moist air that soaked their tees.
"Sure, you buying?" Sami joked, and turning, she walked along with Jena for the short, two block trek.
"Somebody's awake," Jena said with a chuckle, and using her finger, she pushed against Sami's nipple which was hard and poking against the soaked tee shirt.
"Yeah, I'm not surprised," Sami said with a smile, "doesn't take much for those bad boys to wake up; you should see when I walk into a cold, air conditioned room."
"Hmmm, I must remember that when air conditioner season comes around again," Jena teased.
Sami laughed along with her.
"So here's the thing, Sami, I'm curious about you, really curious," Jena said as she poured the coffee into their cups. They were sitting at the table, in Jena's kitchen.
"Curious about what?" Sami asked, a bit curious herself, now.
"Well, we've been running together for almost two months now, and we've been having coffee twice a week for a month and I still don't know a hell of a lot about you, girl," Jena offered, "I mean there's no talk of boyfriends or dating or much of anything about you; why is that?"
"I've really never been one to talk about myself very much, and I tend to keep my private business, private," Sami replied, adding, "no offense, Jena."
"Oh no, I respect that, I really do, since I'm pretty much the same way."
There was a bit of awkward silence before Jena spoke again.
"So, Sami, is there?"
"Is there what?"
"A boyfriend, a husband, a stalker, I don't know, something, girl, ya' gotta give me something," Jena laughingly begged.
"Okay, I'll give you something," Sami said, "there's none of the aforementioned; there, satisfied?"
More awkward silence.
"I can't believe a doll-baby like you doesn't have a dozen guys sniffing at her twat like a pack of puppies," Jena said with a shake of her head.
"I get asked out, a lot, but that's not my focus Jena, not at all," Sami replied but not giving anything up. Looking at her watch, Sami stood to leave so that she could clean up before class.
"See you tomorrow morning, as usual?" Jena asked as she walked Sami to the door with an arm around Sami's waist, not sexually, but friendly, buddy-like.
"Unless it's pouring, I'll be there," Sami confirmed.
Reaching on tip-toes, Jena gave Sami a little peck on her cheek, European style, following that with a quick buss to the lips. It had become a ritual for the past month or so and Sami didn't mind, in fact.
"Sami? I'll share something with you about me, if you'd like," Jena said when she opened the door for Sami, standing aside, a bit behind it with her hand on the door's edge.
Sami stopped and turned around to face Jena who was a bit behind the door, saying, "Sure, if you'd like."
"I'm bisexual," and with that hanging in the air, Jena closed her door.
"Huh," Sami said to herself, but aloud, "that's putting it out there."
Turning and jogging down the porch steps, Sami jogged back to campus.
They ran again the next morning; nothing being said by either about Jena's parting remark to Sami, yesterday. And the day after that, all was seemingly normal throughout their run.
Cooling down, Jena said they'd have to skip coffee this morning because she had to take Jeff to the airport; he was flying to DC for an interview with the head of Georgetown University's PhD candidate program.
