Chapter 4: Jenna in the Hoodie
Nick's dick was sore when he woke up--and still hard.
He sat on the edge of the bed, shirtless, staring at the bikini top on his dresser like it might bite him. He hadn't imagined Savannah. Or Amber. Or Claire. They were real. They had to be. He'd felt them. Smelled them. Tasted them.
But then they were gone. Erased. Like memories that left souvenirs behind.
Every girl looked eighteen. Every girl had the same name from his past. Every girl acted like they didn't know him.
And still... every morning, a new knock.

Nick stood at the front door in just boxers and a T-shirt. He didn't care anymore.
He opened it--and his heart thudded once in recognition.
Jenna Marsh.
Sort of.
She stood with her hands tucked into the sleeves of an oversized zip-up hoodie. The kind you steal from a boyfriend. It came down just far enough to maybe cover her ass. Her legs were bare. Her hair was messy--chestnut brown and twisted into a lazy bun. Glasses. No makeup. Soft lips. Nervous smile.
"Hey..." she said. "I, um... I just moved in next door? My Wi-Fi's not hooked up yet. Any chance I could hang out here for a bit?"
Nick blinked.
This version of Jenna was quiet. Geeky. Still gorgeous, but in that "don't-look-at-me" kind of way.
And it hit him like a train: freshman year of college. She lived on his floor. They bonded over Halo 3 and energy drinks. One night during a 12-hour gaming binge, she'd crawled into his lap and unzipped his pants without saying a word.
She gave him his first blowjob.
Sweet. Clumsy. Passionate.
After that, she ghosted him.
He'd never stopped thinking about it.
Now here she was--18 again, holding a Switch and wearing nothing but a hoodie and socks, asking to come inside.

Nick stepped aside.
"Make yourself at home."
