It's an odd sensation waking up in someone else's bed. I sort of assumed that the first time it happened I would be in Jenna's bed. Instead, I find myself intertwined with another woman. My waking view is of Layla's soft, but toned, midsection. She's relaxed, awake, and scrolling on her phone, running her fingers through my hair.
"You have nice hair, you know that? It's very soft." She speaks in a soft tone, clearly trying not to shock me as I awaken.
I blink the sleep from my eyes and look at her with a hint of confusion. Where's Cameron? I start to think. Just as I do Layla speaks again.
"Cameron ran to get dinner," she explains in that same comforting tone as if reading my mind. How did she know? "He seemed to think he knew what kind of food you'd like. Something about the restaurant he works at."
That's...sort of thoughtful, actually.
"Oh. Well, that's nice of him" I say.
"He can be a sweetheart sometimes. Even if he doesn't show it often."
"Wait. You said dinner. What time is it?"
"About 7. We kinda missed lunch. Well, you and I got a few servings of protein at least." She giggles at her lame joke.
I start to pick myself up off the bed but she pulls me back down. "Got somewhere to be, sleepyhead?" I land gently, the back of my head once again against her soft, yet toned thighs.
"Well, my roommate and I were going to see if we could have some friends over sometime this weekend. But I suppose it might make more sense to do that tomorrow, anyway" I explain. Any urgency melts out of me as I sink back into her lap.
There's something so innocent about us lying together. There's no tension in either of us, even as I realize how close I am to her bare pussy. Maybe it's because my cock is caged. Or, maybe we're both just thoroughly satisfied after what happened. Regardless, it's serene. There's a surreal calm in just enjoying the comfort of the situation.
Layla doesn't respond - only continues playing with my hair for a moment before saying "Y'know I was serious about your hair. I'd kill for hair this soft. Have you ever thought about growing it out? You'd look so hot."
My mind is at ease. Whereas just this morning I would've found myself flustered by a woman as attractive as Layla even saying I have the potential to be hot I now simply let a brief smile creep onto my face. I tell myself I'm maturing like I'd hoped, but somewhere deep down I know it's simply because she isn't saying it to flirt with me. The implication isn't that I'd look hot for her.
Currently, I sport shaggy brown locks. It's a bit boyish, but I don't think I could pull off a shorter cut. I had never considered longer, though.
"You really think it'd look good?" I ask, reaching up and grabbing a strand as if I could pull it longer by hand.
"Bet" she responds. "You could totally do like a bun if it were a little longer. That'd be hot."
Hm. Maybe it is time for a new look to go with the new me. My hair is a little on the long side right now anyway, and I haven't found a place here to get it cut yet. Might as well let it grow a bit, right?
Cameron enters the room carrying a bag of food.
"Looks like my sluts are getting along okay, huh?"
"Yep!" Layla exclaims. "I was just telling Erin that he should grow out his hair. What do you think?"
"You could pull it off," he says casually, pulling out and distributing containers of food.
He hands me mine - it's the same dish I got on my first date with Jenna. I didn't realize he had noticed what I ordered.
"Do you mind if I check my phone quick, Sir?" I ask as I sit up, as politely as I can. Despite the casual atmosphere, I haven't forgotten the nature of our arrangement.
"Sure, go for it."
I'm a little shocked at how easily I was able to put all of my commitments out of my mind for the better part of the day. I skipped class and ignored my phone all day. I have a few texts from Jake, mostly about our weekend plans. He says that Allie is interested in hanging out tomorrow night.
Nothing from Jenna. Strangely I feel no guilt over what has happened today. It's not like I had much of a choice. And, while Layla wasn't initially part of the equation, it's not like I fucked her. It's not like that, anyway.
I text Jenna and offer for her to join us tomorrow, and then I'm reminded why I'm here in the first place. I never wanted to be her. I need to get this cage off so I can fuck Jenna. I sort of forgot what I was doing after a day full of...well, Cameron. That was supposed to imply that it was a wasted day sucking up to the most awful person in my life, but...it's been fun. And kind of relaxing.
"Everything alright over there slut?" Cameron asks.
"Y-yeah," I stammer "just a few texts to reply to."
"Well hurry up. Your food's getting cold. And I went out of my way to get it for you."
"Y-yes Sir."
We all sit on Cameron's bed eating. He put on a movie and passed around a blunt, too. Why was I so opposed to him?
