Her strategy had worked.
After that night I had lost all my desire to spy on her. Even when she was getting out of the shower, I didn't get weird anymore. At least, on the outside. My heart still sank a little bit every time she bent over to reach for the pots under the kitchen counter, but I didn't openly look at her ass anymore.
She was absolutely normal with me, just like nothing had happened. After a couple weeks she even got nicer than before, she joked a lot, she laughed with me, nothing was weird.
I also found myself to be more focused, I was able to study way better than before. She kinda sobered me up. She had simply won. And I reckoned it really was for the better.
Yes, I was still studying, even though I was 25 years old. I actually already did graduate in Literature and Arts, but I was gonna pursue an academic career. To be precise my field was especially that of dramatic works.
She was way more down to earth. She graduated in accounting and was already employed.
She lived in that house since before my arrival. She rented that house with a girl when she entered college, but the girl dropped out and left just when I was looking for a new place to live in. She didn't mind to live with a man in the same flat, and that's how we came to know each other.
Our lives were very different, but I didn't have that much of a social circle, so over the span of five years I naturally came to share hers. I knew all her colleagues and her friends, and I came to be one of them.
As I was saying, after what had happened in her room there were a couple of great months. We were happy, both our lives were going pretty well. Until one night.
I was in my room, and I was alone. She went out with some friends. I would have loved to go with them but I really had to study. I wasn't very motivated, though, so I tried to stimulate myself by masturbating for ten minutes after each chapter. I was precisely looking at some pictures of horny amateur girls, when I heard the front door open. I swiftly closed the browser on my computer and put away my hard dick, tucking it with my waistband, and I was heading out of my room to say hi, when I realized something was off. She was stomping on the floor very hard, and taking her coat off with very forceful movements. She sounded very angry. Finally she shouted:
- Whore!
Yes, she was angry. With whom, I couldn't tell. Something inside of me told me to stay away from it, but I couldn't help being curious. I came out of my room right when she was storming inside the living room. I followed her. She went right to the sofa and began punching the cushion so hard I almost worried she was gonna ruin it. Then she pushed her face into it and screamed hard, her voice muffled by the thick fabric.
- What's going on?
- What the fuck do you care?
Her rage threatening to retort on me should have been my clue to get the fuck out of there, but once again, I was curious. And I wanted to help.
- I'm just trying to save our sofa. And trying to calm you down.
- You cannot calm me down, you fucking idiot! You're a stupid fucking idiot, and she's a whore! A fucking whore!
- Who?
- Christina!
At least we had a culprit.
Christina had been a friend of hers since college and now they were colleagues. The two of them had been very close in the past, but now their relationship somehow got a bit colder.
By now you must have noticed that I haven't yet written her name. I won't. I don't want to come up with a fake one, it would feel... Fake. (duh!) Well, Christina is a fake name. I don't care if she feels fake. But she... I don't want her to.
Anyway... Christina was a beautiful girl. Very beautiful, actually. She just didn't have her charm. She wasn't as sexy. But as for her looks, she was stunning. Way more than her, actually. And I have to admit, her breasts were really incredible. I mean, you couldn't believe them. They were obviously real, but they seemed perfect. They were big, but her tiny figure made them seem even bigger, and they looked like they didn't even sag. It was very difficult not to look at them when she was in the room. Not that she tried to show them in any particular way. On the contrary, she was very modest. She didn't want you to look at her tits at all. She tried to impress people with her piercing eyes and her very smooth hair. She just didn't impress me, that's all. As I said, apart from her boobs.
- What did she do?
- You tell me!
- How could I know?
- She got the promotion!
- What? Really? The one you've been chasing for the last year?
- That one!
- But you were more qualified. I mean... Sure the numbers you've being-
- Do you know how did she get it? She told the boss that she heard me say that I was planning to leave the company.
- What the fuck?
- Do you see now? She's a fucking whore!
- Yes, she is. Can't you tell the boss that's not true?
- It's too late, now. Corporate already signed the promotion. But I knew it. I knew that would have happened. That's precisely the reason why I didn't tell anyone, absolutely anyone, not a fucking soul, that I was gonna apply for the promotion.
She slowed down. Her voice was becoming menacing. Then she stopped talking. She just looked at me. To be honest, I didn't need her to say anything more. My heart was slowing beginning to go up my throat.
- I mean... - I uttered.
- Absolutely noone. Except...
- But she told me she wasn't interested! We were just having a friendly conversation!
- Who told you to go spill the beans about my fucking life?
- But she's your friend! How could I even imagine she could do something like that? Who does that?
- Don't you know anything about what working in an office is like? Like... Anything!
No, actually I didn't. I mean... I had been a student my whole life, how could I? Still, I couldn't deny that if it weren't for me, she would have obtained the promotion she had worked so hard to achieve. At that point I stood in silence before her. She was silent too, incinerating me with her eyes. I kept my head low. I couldn't even look at her. Finally she spoke.
- But you're right on something. She was supposed to be my friend. A friend doesn't do anything like that. As I was saying, she's a fucking whore! And she needs to pay. We need to make her pay. How are we gonna make her pay?
We... We were a we... Maybe I was gonna be off the hook.
She was thinking hard. Walking up and down the living room, she seemed really motivated to make Christina pay, and a high price too. Suddenly, she stopped, hit by a thought.
- Wait, I could... Well... That would be bad...
A sudden tension filled the room. Abruptly, she turned and looked at me. Slowly, very slowly, she walked towards me. Her face made me feel like somebody just dropped a pound of ice inside my shirt.
- But it should be a punishment for you too.
Two pounds of ice.
- It shouldn't be a reward. We can't reward you for what you did. Oh no, we cannot. But we already know how to do that, don't we?
My stomach and my guts just switched places inside my belly. I was hot and cold at the same time.
- Do you like Christina?
- What?
- Do you?
- Well certainly not now that...
- As a woman. Do you like her?
- No. I mean. Yes. I mean...
I didn't know what she wanted me to say.
- I want the truth!
- She's a beautiful woman, so yes, I like her, but I don't desire her. I mean, not the way I...
- Do you want to see her naked?
Time stood still for at least three seconds. Then, just like that, my dick was already back to fully erect.
- What are you talking about?
- I can let you see her naked.
- How?
