Laura went up to Springfield a few weeks later to look for an apartment. We agreed to live off-campus, both of us wanting to avoid the party scene and concentrate on our studies. We were serious about breaking the cycle of poverty and substance abuse that had plagued our family. I had to work that weekend. She called me on Saturday.
"Hey, cuz what's going on?" She always sounded so chipper and I loved her for that. Especially after everything she's been through in life.
"Not bad. How's the apartment search going?"
"Awesome! I found a great place. It's only a 10 minute walk to campus!"
"Sounds too good to be true. Can we afford it?"
"That's the best part. My Uncle on my mom's side owns a bunch of rentals up here. I didn't even know until my mom told me when I called her on the drive up to tell her what was going on. I got in touch with him and he showed me this place and said we could have it for $500 bucks."
"Wow, that's better than I expected to have to pay. If we both work part time we can handle that."
"I know! I can't wait to show it to you!"
"Me too. I'll see you tonight then?"
"Oh cuz, I'm kind of tired. I'm gonna stay here tonight. I've got my sleeping bag in the car. I'll crash on the floor of the new place, be refreshed in the morning and make the drive back."
"Ok. I miss you though."
"Yeah I miss you too. It's cold! Wish I had your warm body tonight." She giggled. "Bye"
"Bye." I hung up. I was psyched. We were really going to be able to make college work AND do it together. Just a couple weeks until classes started and I couldn't wait.
We moved 2 days before classes started and got settled in. Weeks went by and things were going perfectly. We studied together and had great sex to relieve the stresses of our rigorous schedules. I got a bar tending job 4 nights a week and Laura was working a couple of days at a work-study program on campus. Money was tight but we were getting by and achieving near perfect grades.
One night there was a fight at the bar and the cops shut us down early. I walked back to the apartment, looking forward to getting a rare full night's sleep. When I came in, all was dark except for the dim glow of the bedroom lamp at the rear of the apartment. As I got closer I heard the unmistakable moans of sex. My heart stopped. I knew Laura had a couple of toys and I wanted to believe she was using one of them. Then I heard a man's voice, grunting and groaning. When I reached the bedroom door it was half open and when I poked my head in I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Laura was nude from the waist down, wearing only a tank top, bent over the night stand. Behind her was a naked, hairy, bald fat guy, probably 50 years old. Neither of them saw me as I stood there stunned. He was pounding her hard from behind, his hands inside of her tank top. I couldn't move, being emotionally paralyzed and afraid that if I did they would see me. I had been there about 5 minutes when he slammed hard into her a final time, pushing her up off her feet. The lamp was knocked off and broke onto the floor as he grunted and held still for about 30 seconds while he came in her.
He pulled out and his cock was still hard. It was short but incredibly thick. Laura was catching her breath, still bent over, her pussy gaping from the assault it had just taken. I slipped away to the living room while I had the chance and sat on the couch, still unable to believe what I had witnessed. A few minutes later he walked through the room, saw me sitting there, and said "How ya doin'?" I just nodded and he walked out the front door.
I heard the shower come on and she must have been in there for 20 minutes. I was still sitting on the couch when Laura walked into the room in a towel. She startled when she saw me.
"Cuz..what..I thought you were working tonight."
"Got shut down because of a fight."
"Oh..well..how..how long have you been here?"
"Long enough," I said, looking straight at her.
"Oh, cuz, it's not what you think."
"What is it then?"
"That guy, he's my Uncle. The one I told you about. The one that owns this place. What just happened..it's how we get such a good deal on the rent. I didn't want you to know."
I was silent, thinking. I knew her, and I knew that in her twisted way she was doing this, in part, for me.
"We could have gotten a different place Laura."
"On campus? With all the noise and all night partying? Or one we could afford off campus with holes in the walls and broken plumbing?"
"It would have been better than...this."
"Oh, cuz, it's not that bad. It's only once a week and the old bastard only takes ten minutes. Don't tell me you're jealous." She said it in her teasing way that always makes me grin as she straddled my lap I was mad but I couldn't help smiling. "Of course I'm jealous. I want to be the only one doing you."
