Coed Turned Housewife, Ch. 3 - "Roommate Squirms"
The third in a series about innocent Chelsea Pelham and her handsome professor, Dr. Mark Benning.

The door creaked open and a small, thin girl with mousy brown bangs and an enormous backpack entered the apartment, carrying groceries. She was busily struggling with her burdens for quite a few seconds before she looked up and saw Chelsea - flushed, bosom heaving, wet lips parted - sitting dangerously close to a handsome older man on the couch, his own shirt front disarranged, hair tousled, lips pursed in annoyance, large hand perched possessively on Chelsea's knee.
Karen Connor- for this was the roommate's name - sized up the situation immediately for what it was.
"I - um - Chelsea, I didn't mean to interrupt. I just got back from studying and thought we might make dinner." She had turned beet red, realizing what she had walked into. She had never had a boyfriend herself, possibly because she was thin, flat-chested and shy - or possibly because she was young and inexperienced for even a college freshman. She spent most of her free time riding horses. She and Chelsea had been like twins before this semester when the "Big-Titty" lab had changed everything for Chelsea, starting with her bra size. Karen was not similarly distracted, and was as shy and uninitiated about men as she could possibly be.
"You're fine, Karen, I was just going to my room." Chelsea was red-faced too. It embarrassed her to have her best friend Karen see her in a compromising position with a strange older man. Dr. Benning was the only person who seemed unperturbed.
"Chelsea, I'm going to make sure you eat some soup and take you to bed," he said coolly as he stood and began gathering the food items to take into Chelsea's bedroom.
Karen lowered her eyes, putting away her groceries absently as she heard Chelsea's door click behind her and the strange man. She mused. "Didn't he mean 'put you' to bed?" She thought. It was all very uncomfortable, especially - she thought - the man's sly, icy tone.
Her discomfort would soon grow.
