Sarah stared out the window as the rain fell from the dark clouds above and soaked everything it touched. She loved rainy days and could sit for hours just staring out the window. Tonight, unfortunately she had to finish an assignment for the next day. Pulling herself away from the window she got back to work. She switched on the radio and turned the volume down so she didn't disturb Ingrid, her new roommate from the Caribbean.
Sarah had almost finished her work when a great clap of thunder startled her. She quickly regained her composure and went back to work. Over the next half hour or so the storm intensified with the thunder getting louder and claps getting more frequent. Suddenly two lightning bolts flashed across the rainy sky lighting up the campus outside Sarah's window. A few claps and flashes later Sarah heard a knock on her door.
"Mind if join you," Ingrid asked as she poked her head through Britney's door. "I've been kinda scared of thunder and lightning since I was a kid growing up in Jamaica."
"Yeah, sure no problem," Sarah replied. When Ingrid came through the door Sarah couldn't help but notice Ingrid's large nipples poking against the tight, gray fabric of her tank top. It was easy to tell by the way her tits bounced as she walked over the bed that she wasn't wearing a bra. "I thought growing up in the Carribean you'd be used to thunder storms with all the hurricanes and tropical storms."
"The storms would be so bad that it was rare that someone my family knew wasn't killed or had there house destroyed," Ingrid said glumly. She looked away sadly before continuing, "I even lost a boyfriend once." The two girls continued working with Ingrid jumping with each clap of thunder or bolt of lightning.
"We don't get thunder storms that often in this part of the country," Sarah said trying to comfort her nervous housemate. Ingrid seemed to have calmed down a bit, but then another clap of thunder echoed out rattling the whole building. After a few more flashes of lightning the power suddenly went out plunging the room into darkness. Sarah could hear Ingrid getting excited and tried to calm her. "Don't worry, I've got a flashlight and some candles." With the room lit with lightning Sarah found the flashlight in a desk drawer and then found her matches and lit two candles on her head board and a couple on her desk. The pale candlelight allowed the girls to at least see each other across the room between flashes of lightning.
The two girls continued working by candlelight and managed to finish about a half hour later. Without her work to distract her Ingrid started to get antsy again. Sarah could her jump slightly each time a clap of thunder boomed outside the window. "Come lay down and try to relax," Sarah said as she laid down on the bed herself. Ingrid laid down down next to Sarah and closed her eyes and tried to think of anything else but the storm raging outside. "What did you do during storms back home?" Sarah asked.
"We usually just sat around with a bunch of candles in the basement and trembled our way through it praying that our house would be spared," Ingrid responded turning her head towards Sarah. In the pale candlelight Sarah noticed how beautiful Ingrid was. Her mocha coloured face held deep, brown eyes, pouty lips, and a pert nose. Her straight black hair hung about her shoulders and her impressive thirty-four inch chest heaved beneath her tight tank top. Sarah then noticed Ingrid's scent, it was light and reminded her of a strawberry and orange perfume she once had.
