His hands were on her, trailing down from neck to cleavage left by mischievous buttons undone. Chloe couldn't quite remember how her shirt had opened to such a revealing position but failed to care and those devilish fingers, slender and long, continued their marched down towards peaking nipples. The gentle caresses elicited low sighs as they traveled from one eager nipple to the next. Chloe tried to remember why she had resisted this pleasure so adamantly before, but lucid thoughts seemed so slippery. All that existed at the moment was her skin, his skin, and the wonderful heat between. Chloe decided to surrender completely and stretched her arms overhead, granting him thorough access to her shuddering body. He knelt between her parted thighs and feeling him naked, Chloe gasped as he checked her own readiness by inserting a finger and spreading her wetness. Sighs turning to moans and she barely noticed him changing position until, "AHH!" She yelped as his hardness entered her swiftly, leaving a ringing in her ears. Yanking her face up to meet his, Chloe opened her eyes to gaze upon the robust intruder. The ringing grew louder and she barely heard him whisper her name as she tried blinking the fog from her eyes.
"Chloe" he purred. "Chloe.." She couldn't see his face clearly and the ringing was so distracting. "Chloe"
"CHLOE! Wake up!" barked her dormmate. "That alarm is killing me. Turn it off!"
Pulled harshly from her dream, Chloe moved to tap off the alarm and knocked her lamp from the bedside table in the process. "Ugh, I was dreaming so hard. It was vivid. Didn't feel like a dream." she muttered groggily.
"I figured you must've been having a good one. You didn't want to get up."
"Felicia, did I make any...did I say anything?"
Smiling, Felicia giggled, "Why? Was it a...sexy dream?"
Throwing her pillow at her raven-haired roomie, Chloe tried to redirect the conversation, "No! I just want to know if I talk in my sleep."
"Ai, senorita. Look at the mess you're making and it isn't even past seven in the morning. As for talking in your sleep, I guess you'll never know." Crawling off the bed, Felicia disappeared into the bathroom. The sounds of shutting of drawers and cabinets filled the room, accompanied by a cheery tune hummed by Chloe's curvy roomie. The door opened again to reveal the girl in a party hat and Mardi Gras beads. "Cumpleaños feliz! Happy birthday to you mi amiga!" She continued singing, switching between Spanish and English as she danced to Chloe's bedside. Placing a garish pink hat on Chloes long, honied curls, Felicia tried to wake the still sleepy birthday girl. "Finally! We can go out together. I've been waiting to burst that thick, pious shell of yours since the beginning of fall semester. It's now legal—so no more excuses chica."
Pulling the hat from atop her head, Chloe found the number 21—in all it's glittering glory—on the front. Indeed, she was running out of excuses to stay in and out of trouble. Thinking always of her parents, Chloe tried so hard to remain pure of mind and body. Professor Angotti's class, however, made this so difficult as of late. He had planted that seed of uncertainty. That word her parents had always warned her of — desire. That burning seed of desire was growing like a rampant weed within her. Temptation had weaseled its grip into her dreams and she could think only of the class and Marcus. Who had been the one in the dream, she wondered. Trying to remember details, Chloe's thoughts were interrupted by her determined friend.
"Hey lady, hey birthday girl. Don't think I'm giving you a chance to wrangle out of this. Nu uh. I've been waiting for this night all month and we, bonita, are going out! I am going to dress you up and teach you how to break some corazones like it's an artform. Come on, move it to the baño and get crackin'!"
Body heavy like her mind, Chloe peeled her body from her clammy sheets and began her morning ritual. Contemplating her dream and the day Felicia had planned, she welcomed the steamy shower. Washing away dreamt sins to make room for new and real ones, she breathed in the fresh scent of lavender body wash and decided to go with the flow rather than fighting.
Through the moisture, Chloe could hear her friend planning the day. "So, we are going to breakfast first. Keeping our liquid breakfast to a minimum and then pedis/manis. I can't have you going out all churchy. And then the shopping and I know exactly how to do your hair..."
The falling drops of water felt so much like the man's fingertips from the dream. Chloe couldn't help but reached between her legs and touch the still swollen bud. Back and forth, back and forth, her middle finger swayed and that sumptuous electricity began to grow up from her pelvis. Hips swaying rhythmically, Chloe could no longer hear her roommate. Only the sound of heavy breathing and the hiss of the shower could be heard, drowning out all else.
After the Bars:
"Chlolita! Stop stomping around in those heels like a dizzy goat. Take 'em off, people are gonna hear us." College-girl drunk and stumbling home after the last bar closed, Chloe and Felicia ran across their dark college campus. "Ai, you are totally a lightweight lady. I should have stopped you at the fifth shot."
Slurring her words, the drunker Chloe spoke through giggles and hiccups as she nearly fell over taking off her shoes. "No, Lllicia...I can handle my liquor lust ffine. That was a great partay! I talked to all those guyths. What should we do nest?"
Felicia narrowed her eyes, pinching her brows together. "Next? Chica, are you kidding me? You're done. Done like a spitfire hog. And any guy would like a cute piece like you rubbing up on 'em."
"LLicia, nooo. I want to do more. This hath been the best night of my live."
"What else is there to do, Loca? All the bars are closed. Besides, and trust me on this, no one would let us in." Felicia paused to take off her heels as well. "Come on and keep up, we need to be quiet and crash."
"Wait! Wait, I havth an idea. We should asth thiss guy from my class for an affer pardy." Chloe began fishing in her purse. "I havth histh number here."
"Ai, is he cute? Which class is he from?" Felicia had stopped walking and turned to face her friend.
Chloe halted and struggled to keep her balance over her two feet. "Um...that one elective I menthioned. The anthropogie one. He's totes hot Llicia. You'd like 'im."
Felicia crossed her arms and her eyes rolled upward. "You think I'm that bad a friend to let you drunk dial the first hot guy you've ever mentioned? Loca, give me your phone."
"No! NO! I really like 'im. Let's juss texth him, pleass Licia?" Legs folding into and across one another, Chloe sat down on the cement. "I won't leavth until we call 'im. Nopes, I won'ts."
Shaking her head, Felicia let out a long sigh. "Ok, just because it's your birthday. Don't think you can keep pulling this. Give me your phone and I'll text him. Tell me what to say."
Squealing with delight, Chloe popped up from the ground and handed Felicia her cell. "Ok, Ok, Ok. Um...I don't know what say? What shouldth I say?"
"Well, what do you like about him?"
Chloe stood ruminating on her lower lip before responding. "Hiss eyess. They're this intense green."
"Got it. Leave it to me." Felicia dialed in the number from the piece of paper and continued with the text message. She sent it without showing her dormmate. "Ok, done. Let's go Chica."
"Wha? Wait! Whadda say?"
