I walked straight past Alice. It was only until I reached the bottom of the stairwell that I heard footsteps behind me. I turned and saw Alice's big glassy eyes peering at me, her pupils dilated. "What is it?" I asked her. She was carefully studying my figure, her eyes moving from my chest to my stomach, to right below my waist, and then back up again. "I wanted to talk to you about something..." she said.
"Alright," I said.
"Can we go up to your room?"
"Follow me."
We walked up the stairs together. When we got to my door I unlocked it and let her inside. I closed the door behind me and went to wash my face. I could feel her eyes on me and it made me nervous.
After drying my face in the towel I turned to her and saw her gaze shift to various things in my room. I didn't sweep the floor recently and my clothes were in a messy heap in one corner, so I felt a bit embarrassed another human had to see it.
"How long have you been staying here?" she asked.
"Since the beginning of September."
"I always wanted to live on my own. It must feel good being away from your parents."
"I still see them every weekend. What is it that you wanted to talk about?"
She was sitting on my bed. I walked away from the sink and leaned my back against the wall, facing her. She looked at my lips, and then quickly looked down. She turned to look at my lips again for a second, and then shot a soulful look at my eyes. Over the years I had grown tired of her giving me that look.
She stood up, then slowly walked towards me, until she was inches away from my face. Her eyes studied my features: my nose, lips, the mole under my eye. And suddenly, her lips grabbed mine.
I was in shock for a couple seconds, my eyes wide open and hers closed. The first thing that came to mind was the dream of us I had the year before, and then Louise's face. I gently pushed Alice away from me.
"Why did you do that?" I asked. "I thought you wanted to talk."
"I wanted to kiss you first. I love you Kristen."
I kind of expected this day to come, but not when I had a girlfriend.
"Alice..."
"Do you feel the same way?" There was a hopeful look on her face.
"Um...I'm involved with someone."
"Oh..." She looked away from me. "Well, she must be lucky." She turned to look at me and smiled. I could see the tears welled up in her eyes. "I'll be going now."
We went outside my room and I led her down the stairs. When I reached to the front gate and unlocked it, she hugged me, told me goodbye, and walked to her car. I watched her drive off, and I suddenly didn't want to be alone in my room for the night.
On Saturday morning Louise took me out for breakfast at a coffee place. I didn't continue the kiss with Alice, but I still felt uneasy around Louise, like I had actually cheated. My anxiety always got the better of me.
"Something wrong dear?" Louise asked me. "You've been looking down since I picked you up."
"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just a bit stressed with school."
"Assignments piling up?"
"Yeah."
Louise was taking bites out of her sandwich and looking out the window, clueless of what happened on Tuesday between me and Alice. I sipped my coffee, staring at a car that was parked outside.
When we finished at our table, we paid the bill, walked outside, and got into Louise's car. Before she started to drive she turned to me and did a quick glance at my chest, then asked me if I wanted to stay by her house for a while. I knew what she meant – and my answer was always yes. And I loved to see the smirk of satisfaction when I told her.
We got to her place at 11 am. We walked up to her bedroom and she locked the door. We both took off our shoes and put it in a corner. Then she grabbed me quite suddenly and pressed my body against hers, and pushing me towards the wall. My back gently hit the solid surface. She raised my hands and pinned them to the wall, close to either side of my head. Her mouth plunged into mine. When she eventually released herself from the kiss, she looked at me, a bit curiously.
"Something's different..." she said.
"What do you mean?"
"Maybe I'm just crazy...but something does feel different about you...you're really stressed aren't you? You poor girl..."
I said nothing.
"University is tough." She walked in the direction of her bedside drawer. She opened the top drawer and took out the red seven inch strap on dildo. "So I'm gonna give it to you good today." She licked her lips, her eyes travelling my body.
I started taking my clothes off for our ritual. Her eyes never left my body as I undressed. When I became completely naked, I walked over to her bed, lay on my back, and spread my legs. She watched me move my hand towards my clit and start rubbing in a slow circular motion. I stared directly into her eyes while she stood above me, and I could feel her excitement growing.
I let her take the dildo and she slid it up and down over my clit, and I felt the vaginal contractions. When I was wet enough, I shoved two of my fingers in and slowly massaged the walls, readying myself for her. In the meantime, she was unbuttoning her shirt, and I could see the black lace bra and toned stomach.
She slid the shirt off of her, and I marvelled at her cleavage. She took her pants and underwear off, leaving her with just the bra. She waxed and I didn't, but she didn't mind, and wouldn't mind if I started waxing either.
I released my fingers. I was already cumming. She grasped my hand, got next to me on the bed and slowly eased her mouth over my wet fingers. She slid down slowly until I couldn't see my fingers, and slowly slid back up and out, licking my lips while looking into my eyes.
