The night had been so frustrating. Xin had spent nearly an hour getting ready. A good portion of that had been spent experimenting with her shoulder length hair, jet black and completely straight. It simply refused to do anything interesting and ended up, as it usually did, in a tight ponytail falling from the back of her head. The hair pulled tight to her scalp did tend to accentuate her Asian features, a gift from her father. She built on that effect with dark eyeliner and smoky eye-shadow creating a subtle cat eye.
Her slight frame was wrapped in a clingy skirt of cobalt blue. The dark fabric was a stark contrast to her fair skin, and despite being only 5' 2" her Caucasian mother had graced her with a bit more curves than her Chinese ancestry might have provided otherwise, so she was able to fill it out nicely. Tall heels were common in her wardrobe, to compensate for her height, and tonight she was going all out with open toed pumps that were pushing 6 inches. Unfortunately she had not inherited mom's boobs. She was not tiny; a healthy B-cup, but she wished they were just a bit bigger. But they were perky, and they did allow her to easily go without a bra when she was looking to attract attention. Tonight, a loose black dress shirt, un-tucked, hung from her narrow shoulders and was unbuttoned well past the point of modesty. Far enough that if she moved just right the sides of her breasts were visible.
She had left the apartment satisfied she looked pretty hot; maybe even a little slutty, but that was okay for tonight. She was going to meet with several girlfriends and their respective men. But Michael was also going to be there. He was absolutely yummy and Xin was very interested in him. He was intelligent, good looking, and seemed like a really solid guy. She could easily see herself in a long term relationship with him. But after a couple hours of subtle flirting and a couple of martini's she had lowered her expectations and decided she would be happy just to fuck him. A little more drinking, and another couple of hours of blatant flirting had served little purpose other than to make her horny. Finally a bold hand run up his thigh been physically removed. To his credit, he excused himself gracefully from the group, "calling it a night" and not openly adding to her embarrassment.
Mortified, Xin had refused offers to call her a cab, needing to get out of the bar immediately. She now regretted the extreme heels as carefully made her way to the train station, tipsy enough to make it a challenge. I was a long train ride home and she hoped she could find a way to take her mind off the humiliating rejection of this evening. Her eyes had been locked on the steps so she was stepping onto the platform by the time she looked up to see the crowd. Fuck! She had no idea there had been a ball game. Based on the energy of the crowd they must have won. She couldn't care less. All she could think about was the fact that the train was going to be packed now.
She made her way forward with a sigh; this night just kept getting worse. She slowed as made her way into the back of the crowd and swayed slightly when she stopped, bumping shoulders with the man next to her. She looked up and mumbled an apology. Correction; the boy next to her. He couldn't possibly be out of college. His eyes slid blatantly over her body before he gave a big grin. "No problem!" She stepped away but not before she saw him elbowing one of his buddies next to him. Smooth. What an ass!
She sneaked a peek his way again and he was saying something into his friends ear. His friend was openly staring at her ass. She dropped her eyes, and tried to assure herself it was the alcohol making her blush. They were both tall, and muscular. Powerful looking; perhaps football players; pretty hot actually. Jesus, what was wrong with her. She had no interest in chasing college boys, she was well past that. But despite herself she repeatedly caught herself looking in their direction. More often than not, she caught one or both of them looking at her. Boys! They had no tact, and it probably didn't help that they had obviously had a few beers at the ballpark.
She would normally have been pretty pissed. Sure guys would look, but don't be so fucking blatant about it. But after Michael's abject rejection, there was a part of her that was enjoying the attention. Why hadn't Michael taken the bait? Was she too short? Was it because her boobs were too small? The situation had raised all sorts of doubts. She stole a glance toward her college boys again they were now failing miserably to hide their attention. Their eyes seemed to undress her and before she could help herself her mouth quirked in a grin. She only realized what she had done when they both grinned madly back at her, and she turned her head away.
Shit! That was stupid. Then again it was a little funny. Dream on boys. Come and see me in about ten years when you grow up. Her head was fuzzy and she wasn't really thinking straight. At least that's what she told herself as she turned her shoulders slightly toward them, her fingers going to her collar, and then idly sliding down the row of button holes. A glance out the corner of her eye confirmed they were both making no effort to hide that they were looking, staring directly at her as if she were an apparition that might disappear if they looked away. She reached up to tighten her ponytail, pushing her chest out slightly. She heard the word "damn!" pass between them, with a fairly ineffective attempt to keep it quiet.
Xin laughed inwardly. This was so wrong; mean really. Teasing these poor hormone impaired boys. But she had to admit it was making her feel sexy. She heard the train approaching, and decided to give them one last poke before they parted ways. She looked down at her shoes, examining some imagined blemish. She leaned a bit for a better view, exactly the way you shouldn't do while dressed this way. The fabric fell away from her chest and she knew at this angle they would be looking straight down her shirt. She felt the breeze against her bare skin and realized her nipples had gotten hard while her mind had been wandering. The boys were getting a good show no doubt, and she was suddenly embarrassed.
Thankfully the train noisily ground to a halt just then and the crowd was moving. Between the high heels and her compromised equilibrium she had to concentrate on keeping her balance as the crowd pushed her forward. She stepped carefully from the concrete platform to the diamond-plate floor of the train, and allowed herself to be swept forward, her heels shifting awkwardly with each step on the textured surface. She bumped into a large chest as the crowd stopped. She looked up to see it was one of her college boys standing with his back against the rear door of the train. She turned to move away and there was the other one standing next to her, motioning an offer for her to sit. A pair of seats in the very back, awkwardly close together as was the norm of public transport.
Oh god! Why had she assumed they wouldn't go out of their way to sit next to her on the train? She had to swear off drinking. She shook her head no and he simply shrugged and slid into one of the seats. She made to move forward within the train and was greeted by a wall of shoulder blades. She was trapped. The last thing she wanted to deal with right now was putting up with the sophomoric attempts of some young college stud to impress her. Not that she could complain; she had brought this on herself. She reached up to grasp a hand straps as the train pulled away from the platform, a symphony of clacking, creaks, groans and squeals. The noise would make conversation difficult; that at least was in her favor. Perhaps if she just ignored them they would be satisfied just to ogle her until they got wherever they were going. Xin groaned inwardly knowing her apartment was very near the end of the line, so no early exit for her.
She could not help stealing occasional glances at the seat next to her. He sat in the aisle seat, so was less than a foot from where she was standing, packed like a sardine in a can. A tight t-shirt was stretched across a muscular chest over a non-descript pair of blue gym shorts. Typical snappy college attire. She caught him looking at her legs a couple of times, but so far he had made no attempt to make eye contact, let alone speak to her over the racket of the tracks. She could not bring herself to look over her shoulder to look at the other one. Lord knows how it would be interpreted in this close proximity. She concentrated on staring passively forward, leaving her nothing to look at but some guys back. But thankfully, the ride seemed to be shaping up to be uneventful.
She shifted her feet, one foot hooking behind her calf and rubbing up and down. She looked down at her college boy sitting next to her but he was looking out the window. A flash of annoyance crossed her mind and she was not sure why. Was part of her disappointed one of them hadn't hit on her? Was her ego bruised because he was not stealing glances at her body anymore? The thought is immediately broken when something brushes against her hip. It had been a fleeting thing. Had she just imagined it? Was it simply her dress shifting? She waited...Nothing.
