Dee and I were roommates during our freshman year at college. The room we shared was small. Dee's bed was on the right from the door to the hall in the girl's dorm, and across from it was the door to the small bathroom. Next to that was my wardrobe, and then my bed, diagonally across from Dee's bed. There was a window at the foot of my bed, and the desk across from it, next to Dee's wardrobe. We were both shy at first, getting to know each other. I remember the flannel pajamas I wore each night. I would change into them from my school uniform in the bathroom and then slip under the covers.
Neither Dee nor I went on dates and on Friday nights, when the other girls were out; we would light candles and sit on the floor and drink a bottle of wine and talk. That's how we got closer as the semester wore on. We talked about girly stuff and we soon discovered that neither of us had a real boyfriend. Dee was wistful when we talked about boys, and I think she really wanted to have a boyfriend. All the boys I had met were jerks, I thought, and anyway I preferred to think about my studies and have wine with Dee on Fridays.
It was on such a Friday that Dee suddenly grew quiet. She looked at me and bit her lip.
"Kerry," she said, "can I ask you a question?" I nodded and sipped my wine.
"It's just that..." She hesitated. "Have you ever, you know, heard noises from my bed at night?"
My eyes grew wider. I had tried not to hear, but several times I had thought I heard Dee breathing hard. And other little sounds, too, that made me think that she was secretly touching herself under her blanket. I nodded again, and I think I blushed.
Dee was blushing, too. She whispered, "do you mind? I mean the noises?"
I shook my head. I felt like I should say something but I couldn't. All I could do was stare at Dee's face in the candlelight.
"I only wanted toโoh my god, I'm so embarrassed!"
I shook my head again. "Don't be embarrassed," I said in a small voice. "I... I know what you are doing, Dee."
She giggled and put her hand to her mouth. "It's just, it's just that I sometimes want to make more noise." She had a worried look on her face, like I might think what she was doing was disgusting.
"I don't mind," I stammered. And then we both looked down, our faces burning. "Oh my god, I can't believe I actually asked you," mumbled Dee. We were both so embarrassed. And then we started giggling and couldn't stop.
That night I heard Dee's breathing change. I froze in my bed. I heard her moan softly and then the sound of her blanket being drawn away. Her breaths grew faster and faster and then ragged. I heard her say "ohhhh... yes, yes, yeessss" and then she drew a sharp breath and held it. My eyes were wide, but of course I could not see because Dee faced the other way in her bed, which was diagonally across the room from mine. But even if I could have seen her, I wouldn't have turned my head. I just lay there and listened as Dee gave a series of quick breaths that grew slower and slower. Then I heard her pull her blanket over herself again and snuggle into it. My heart was pounding, and I was suddenly aware of how my breasts felt against the material of my ridiculous pajamas. It was a long time before I finally fell asleep.

Over the next weeks, I heard Dee masturbating in her bed almost every night. We never spoke about it again; but we had drawn closer. It seemed that we were sharing more, and that we were more relaxed around each other. Dee was getting louder and louder at night, too. She started talking more, mostly "yes, yes," or "please, yes, please," and "touch me there, please, it feels so good." And sometimes, when I listened to Dee's excited breathing and the little rubbing sounds, I slipped my hand into my pajama bottoms and touched myself. It was sexy listening to Dee.
Dee didn't bother going into the bathroom to change any more; and instead of her pajamas, she just wore panties and a little camisole. I would look up from a book to see her small, lithe form. She was skinnier than I: her legs were long and smooth, and her breasts small and pert. I didn't mind my curves, and liked the weight and softness of my breasts. But her boyish shape and narrow hips, which seemed so different from mine, fascinated me.
I even considered sleeping the other way in my bed, to be able to see her bed, but I didn't dare because I didn't want her to think that I was watching her. Still, one night when Dee was making noises again, "yes, yes, please, just there, just like that, please please," I could not help myself and I turned around to look. To my surprise I saw that Dee's face was turned toward me. She smiled a little, and then her look became concentrated. But she did not look away. I saw her legs, spread wide, and one arm moving quickly. Her other hand was caressing her breasts through the camisole top. Her lips were parted and she was panting. She held my gaze as she came. Then she slowly closed her eyes and smiled. She was glowing. I turned back in my bed. Hot and cold waves were running up and down my body, and my fingers were sliding down toward my pussy.
That Friday, as we were sitting down on the floor, and I was uncorking the wine bottle, Dee said, "that was so hot, you looking at me when I came." She blew out the match with which she had been lighting the candles. And then she broke down giggling. I blushed, but I thought that it had been hot, too. Really hot; and I felt that heat now between my legs as I was pouring the wine. "Yes, it was hot" I said in a small voice. Liking my new-found confidence, I added a little louder, "I liked it when you, you know, looked me in the eyes." Dee beamed and exclaimed, "that's so hot!" and she grabbed the glass of wine from me and took a swig.
We stayed up late that night, talking and laughing. When at last the candles had burned down, I got up and stretched. "Time for bed," I announced. I smiled at Dee and pirouetted and headed into the bathroom. When I came out in just my panties and a t-shirt, Dee had cleaned up the glasses and bottle, but lit some new candles and put them on the sideboard next to her bed. She was lying on her bed, and she was naked, her hands covering her crotch. I stared for a moment, and she blushed. Then she reached out and caught my hand.
"Please," she said. Then she bit her lips and finally whispered, "will you watch?" She squeezed my hand a little firmer, like she was afraid that I would let go of her.
I nodded, a little stunned, but I moved to the foot of her bed, releasing her hand. I knelt down, my right arm on the bed, near her feet. She put her one hand to her mouth and blushed. She took a deep breath. She looked straight at me. Then she slowly spread her legs, until they were open wide before me. My gaze dropped. Her pussy was glistening. "You're beautiful, Dee," I mumbled. I felt like I was someone else, like I had entered a track that ran parallel to my real life, my usual behavior. It all didn't seem to matter, and even though the thought of what was happening flashed in my mind, I couldn't focus on it. All I knew was that Dee's slender, trembling fingers were slowly tracing the inside of her thighs toward her glowing, beautiful sex. Her hand cupped her pussy for a moment and I saw her back arch a little. Then Dee pulled her hand up and her finger slipped between her shiny pussy lips. I drew in air sharply, because I had been holding my breath, and Dee glanced up at me. Her finger moved up and down, through the folds of her pussy, gentle but eager.
