All Grown Up -- Interlude
Jenny's Experiment
Jenny walked into the student housing "pod" ready to be disappointed. She was away from home for the first time, and would be living with three strangers, but at least not her tomboyish tween little sister Kelly. Each student would have their own bedroom, complete with study space, and one common room, with a tiny kitchen at one end, and a bathroom at the other. Despite assurances by the colorful brochure, she had noticed the pictures of the unit itself were all drawings, which inspired very little confidence. All four women would share the two bathroom sinks and one shower stall, and taking turns wouldn't be much fun, she thought wryly.
She was brunette,
a
natural
brunette,
she joked with herself. She had lightly tanned skin and thick luxurious black hair that fell down to the middle of her back. Her breasts were full and large, and the nipples only four boys so far had seen were large and dark, very responsive to fingertips and gentle kisses. She thought her hips were a little wide, but she'd had two hard cocks inside her in high school, neither boy complaining about her hips, width or otherwise. There was no one feature that made her beautiful, but taken together men found her breathtaking.
She had gotten to the pod first, and selected the room closest to the bathroom, tossing her suitcase and duffel on the bed. There was also a common co-ed bathroom on the floor, rows of sinks and stalls, but no showers, or, thankfully, urinals, in case the pod's bathroom was busy.
Taking in her room took seconds. The walls were a bilious shade of institutional green, tolerable in short stretches. A single bed was at one end, with an industrial style lamp and nightstand shoved up against it, and a small desk with a matching lamp on the opposite end. A tiny window, a vertical slit maybe nine inches wide, split the room, standing mute sentinel over the three-drawer dresser, and that was it. The switch by the door, she found, turned on the fluorescent fixture centered in the room, which had a teeth-gritting hum to it; she switched it off immediately.
The other three arrived through the afternoon, and the last to arrive was a voluptuous and very talkative redhead. She introduced herself as Celeste, and took the room next to hers.

"Brrr! F-fucking cold in there!" Jenny saw how cold through Celeste's sweater. The redhead's nipples were obvious, and her cheeks too rosy for being indoors by half. She shivered and grabbed a blanket to curl up on the sofa. Glaring with good humor at her friend, she added, "No wonder nobody took that room! The other night I thought Bobby"βher third boyfriend in as many monthsβ"woke up with a hard-on, but it was just frozen stiff!"
Jenny chuckled, but didn't like the cramped, chilly space, either. It was their second January in the dorms, and this year was much colder than last. Mom and Dad's big mansion back home had been more wonderful than she had realized at the time, and living with three other women wasn't for her. "I have an idea, Celeste. Are you tired of being one of the 'pod' people?"
Celeste snorted. "So fucking done. What are you thinking?"
****************
By spring quarter, Celeste had moved on to boyfriend number four, and both young women into a more spacious student unit across campus, an actual apartment, two bedrooms, a full kitchen and more spacious bathroom, with a separate and well-defined living room. It was usually reserved for grad students and married couples, but both their parents had agreed to chip in on the new digs, and Celeste's father had some pull with the campus. While it wasn't as big as her parents' house, it was actually slightly larger than the 'pod' they had shared with two others, and Jenny could at least stretch without barking her knuckles on either side of her room.
Celeste stormed in and slammed their new front door. "He's an asshole," she groused to no-one in particular, and stormed to her room. Jenny gave her a few minutes, and knocked softly.
"Hey, Celeste, can I come in?" The muffled noise may have been a yes, and she took it that way. Celeste was sitting hunched over in the middle of her bed, fists clenched in fury, glowering at the wall. "Celeste?" Jenny sat next to her friend, and put a sisterly arm around her shoulders.
Celeste sighed and relaxed slightly into Jenny's side. "I'm done with him."
"Jake?"
"Yeah. Socialist asshole. Caught him fucking Stacey this morning, walked in on them while he was balls deep in her cunt, and he didn't even pull out. He said it didn't mean anything to him, just 'sharing the wealth'. She didn't like it either, punched him in the balls before grabbing her clothes and walking into the hall to put 'em on."
Jenny had no idea who Stacey was. "Fuck, Stacey was putting her clothes on..."
"In the dorm hallway. I think there was still some cum drying on her, but she was too pissed off to notice." A lone tear made its way down her cheek. "Fucker!"
They sat together until dusk, Jenny holding her and letting her vent.

Wine is great!
Jenny was happy, and more than a little tipsy. Everything was a pleasant, fuzzy haze. She and Timothy had broken up last week, each one bored with the other but unwilling to hurt each other's feelings, until they finally talked about it and decided there was really no future there. The last thing she wanted on her twentieth birthday was to sit around moping, and Celeste had talked her into a party at a friend's house.
The little house was filled with pot fumes, too.
Contact high!,
she exulted. For the first time in months she felt really alive and relaxed, not just stressing over school.
"Jen!" She hadn't noticed Celeste creep up on her, but was so happy to see her.
"Celeste!" She threw her arms around her, and crushed her to her chest. Their breasts met awkwardly, and Jenny moaned a little at the brief contact. Celeste couldn't have heard her over the music.
"Jen, let's get you home. Us home."
It wasn't like Celeste to be the death of the party, but Jenny was beyond resisting. In the foyer, she suddenly remembered something. She turned towards Celeste, and kissed her on her lips. Celeste looked stunned, but kissed back. "Just wanted to know..." Her voice trailed off, and she drowsed in the car back to their apartment.
****************
Still in the thrall of the party's after-effects, Jenny slept until noon. She popped one eye open and was thrilled the shades were still drawn, and a faint throbbing reminded her of how many glasses she had drunk last night.
Saturday, so no classes.
That comforted her, but a rumble in her tummy reminded her it had been yesterday at lunch when she'd had anything more substantial than peanuts and bar mix.
