As I got out of the shower, I heard my phone ding with an incoming text. I checked to see who it was.
"Julie, I'm sick and have to miss class today. Can you take notes for me? - Chris"
Chris and I are non-traditional students at the community college. He likes to keep his age a mystery, but it's obvious that he is significantly older than all of the other students, including me. I'm 29, and returning to college. It's one of the advantages of being able to telecommute and work for a large corporation. I can take classes during the day while getting tuition reimbursement from the company.
I continued on with my morning routine, opening the dresser drawer to get a pair of panties and a bra. As I sorted through my underwear drawer, I saw the remnants of my year long fling with Jill: a couple of strap-on dildos, a double-ended dong, and two vibrators. Mementos of a crazy year that ended almost a year ago.
I was coming off of a painful breakup with my boyfriend when Jill seduced me into taking a walk on the wild side with her. I had never strolled off the straight path, but it was a fun adventure. Shit, it was more than just a little fun. It was a year of exploring some of the hottest sex I had ever experienced. Unfortunately, after a year we hit our expiration date and things fizzled out. Part of me felt that I should throw out the sex toy collection. Would I ever use them again, and for that matter, should I even use them with someone else? Was I keeping them because I was lazy or hopeful?
Whatever the reason, they had not left my drawer in a year. I'll admit, a year of being single has become old. Part of me was hoping to meet someone while taking classes at the college.
I arrived at class and took my usual seat. A few minutes later Anna arrived.
