"Shit," Brittany said as she hit the red END button on her phone. She was walking across campus on her way to her apartment after taking her last final exam of her junior year at college. "Shit, shit, shit," she repeated to no one. "I can't believe everyone's already gone home."
She had called every guy she had hooked up with in the last six months hoping to have one more night of fun before she went home to the sleepy town where her parents lived. But everyone had already left campus. This was the very last day of scheduled finals, and most people had finished two or three days ago.
She hadn't had sex in weeks, since she had been studying hard for finals, and she really wanted it. But it wasn't looking good.
Just as she started walking up to the entrance to her building, Cindy, her roommate, came bouncing out.
"Hey, Brittany, how was your final?"
"Actually, I think I did pretty well. You're never going to believe this, but I think studying actually helps," Brittany replied.
"Really?" Cindy replied with a laugh. "That's some earth-shattering news. I'll try to remember that next year. Too late for this year."
"I can't believe you've got an econ final scheduled for the last slot on the calendar. That really sucks."
"At least it gave me some extra time to study. And based on your in-depth research, I hear studying might actually help," Cindy said.
"No, sorry, not for econ," Brittany replied. "NOTHING helps for econ. How the hell did I end up with a smart roommate, anyway?"
Cindy laughed. "Just lucky the university paired us up in the dorm freshman year, huh?"
"Yeah, I guess so. Are you and your dad heading home right after your final?"
"Well, after my final, I'm going to say goodbye to Ben. Then we're driving home after that. I told my dad I had to stop by work to say goodbye, so he's not expecting me for a while. It will give me more time to say goodbye to Ben, if you know what I mean," she said with a giggle.
"Well, have fun. I don't suppose Ben would like a threesome on his last day of the semester, would he?" Brittany asked.
Cindy burst out laughing.
"Oh my God, Brittany, you're too much. Actually, I'm quite sure he WOULD like that, but I think I'll say no for him. But thanks for the offer."
"Hey," Brittany said, "just trying to be a good roommate."
Cindy laughed again. "Aren't you the best!"
"Good luck on your final. If I miss you later, have a great summer."
They gave each other a hug, and headed in opposite directions. Cindy headed toward campus, and Brittany headed up to their apartment.
When she opened the door, all of Cindy's boxes were piled up neatly.
"Hey, Brittany, how was your final?" Cindy's dad, Jeff, asked.
"Not too bad. Thanks for asking."
"Is someone driving up later today to take you home?" Jeff asked.
"Not until tomorrow morning. Neither of my parents could make it tonight."
Jeff had driven up the night before -- the four-hour drive each way was too much to do as a round trip in a single day.
Brittany went into her bedroom and picked up from yesterday, packing her stuff in boxes. She hadn't done too much packing yet since she wasn't leaving until tomorrow. Dumping her clothes and junk into boxes wouldn't take too much time.
She went out to the kitchen to get a drink.
"Want anything to drink, Mr. Crawford?" she asked Jeff.
"No thanks, Brittany. And please call me Jeff. You're 21-years-old, and you've known me for three years. I think as one adult to another, you can call me by my first name."
Brittany chuckled.
"My parents raised me to respect adults and always call them by their last name. It will take some getting used to the realization that maybe I actually am an adult. Well, at least almost."
Jeff chuckled, too.
"Hell," he said, "Cindy's mom and I got married when we were 22. I don't know if we acted like adults, but, since we were married, people THOUGHT we were adults. So, in my mind, you're definitely an adult. Of course, maybe now we know we were too young to get married," he said sadly.
Brittany didn't know what to say. She knew he and Cindy's mother had separated four months ago. And she knew that Cindy was pissed at her mom about it -- that's why she was going back with her dad and was going to stay with him. But she didn't know any other details.
After an awkward pause, Brittany just said "Thanks, Mr.... Jeff, for pretending like I'm an adult."
As she was talking to Jeff, Brittany really looked at him. He was in his young 40s, a good-looking man, and in good shape; he obviously hit the gym regularly. He was much younger than her parents. Whereas Cindy was an only child and was born only a year after Jeff and his wife got married, Brittany was the youngest of four kids. And her parents were much older before her oldest sister was born. Brittany definitely didn't think of Jeff in the same age group as her parents. And she liked that he thought of her as an adult.
Suddenly Brittany got a really dirty thought in her head. She walked into her bedroom and closed the door. She stripped off her clothes and put on a pair of thong panties. She grabbed a towel from her closet and held it in front of her lengthwise, completely covering her body from just below her neck to her knees. She walked out of her bedroom and turned toward Jeff.
"I'm going to take a shower, Jeff. Do you need to get in the bathroom first?"
"No, I'm good. Thanks for checking," Jeff replied.
She walked toward the bathroom, still basically facing Jeff on the couch. But just as she turned to walk in to the bathroom, she said, "Okay, I won't be long." She said something to make sure Jeff was looking at her, which he was.
As she turned, her entire backside was completely exposed. She had on her thong, but all that did was show a thin band of material at the top of her butt. The material from her thong dipped between her butt cheeks, so her ass was totally bare. Brittany thought she heard a quiet gasp, which made her smile. She walked into the bathroom and closed the door.
