My name is Amy, soon to be a college freshman at Cornell. My brother, Peter, and I had just completed a four-day road trip to Ithaca from our family home in Las Vegas. Along the way, some wonderful things had developed between the two of us and now, we were not only lovers but deeply in love. We'd yet to figure out what that would mean for the future.
The trip itself was without major incident except for that time our author went into Google Maps Street View, dropped the pin on the wrong road and made me describe ON-403 as an "honest-to-God dirt road". He's a careless doofus sometimes. But, in a few more pages he's going have a lesbian goddess I haven't yet met giving me mind-blowing orgasms. So despite his faults he DOES have some redeeming qualities!
It goes without saying that all characters in this story are fictional, including me. If you think otherwise, you're on drugs. Or you should be. Your choice.
On with the story!

We arrived in town just after 2 PM and, after getting our bearings, we got a room at the Statler, right on campus. Our room was ready, so the hotel let us check in early then we walked out into town to find the house I'd be renting with three other girls I'd not yet met. It was in a nice neighborhood within walking distance of campus and the house was perfect from the outside. I phoned the property manager to arrange a meeting for first thing the following morning.
Then, I called Jackie, one of my mother's college roommates and the woman who had helped arrange the house rental. She was delighted to hear from me; she insisted on meeting us and showing us the campus. Twenty minutes later I saw her walking into the hotel lobby.
Mom had described her as "striking" and "beautiful" and I'd seen some old group photos with her somewhere in the crowd. But, in person, she was simply stunning. Flawless ebony skin, 5' 7", slim, casually dressed in expensive clothes. She walked with grace and self-confidence and as he got closer, I was mesmerized by her full lips, impossibly high cheekbones and the most sensuous "come fuck me" eyes I'd ever seen. I don't normally objectify women like this, but she might have been the most stunningly attractive woman I'd ever seen.
She saw us and broke into a warm, welcoming smile. She wrapped me in a tight hug and introduced herself. "Hi, Amy! I'm Jakisha. Please call me Jackie."
"Jackie, it's such a pleasure. This is my little brother, Peter."
She turned and said "Ha! Not so little, I'd say. It's nice to meet you, Peter. I'm Jackie."
"Hi, Jackie.", Peter mumbled. He was as stunned by her as I was.
Just then, a lovely, petite Asian woman walked up and put her arm around Jackie's waist. Jackie turned to us and said, "This is my wife, Chalita. Chali, these are Ann's kids, Amy and Peter."
She gave me a hug and said hi, then turned to Peter and laughed. "My, my! I expected a boy!", she said as she touched his arm, feeling his bicep. "I'm so happy to meet you, Peter."
"Stop it, you old cougar.", laughed Jackie. Looking at Peter, she said "Just ignore her. She's always been an incorrigible flirt."
Chalita had shoulder-length black hair, brown eyes, and a pretty, soft face. Her lips were full and pouty, painted in bright red lipstick which, on many other women might have been too much but which suited her perfectly. She was braless in a tank top and shorts, which accentuated both her breasts -- just slightly too large for her frame -- and her perfect butt. Again, I don't like to objectify women but, oh my! Chalita was smoking hot. I could see that Perter had both noticed and instantly succumbed. And I knew that he would continue to stare at her tits if I didn't move the conversation along.
"Mom wanted us to give you her love. She really wishes she could have been here with us."
"We welcome her love and return it in spades." Holding out her arm so I could take it, she said "Let's take that tour, shall we? Where'd you park, Chali?"
"I found a spot right in front." She took Peter's hand and said, "Walk with me, Peter. Right this way..."
Mom wasn't lying about Cornell; the campus is beautiful; the buildings were stately and majestic and the green space was astounding. We drove around for a bit, then parked and walked the rest.
Along the way we got some of their back story. Chalita was from Thailand. She first came to the U.S. to attend college, stayed for work, then became an American citizen after marrying Jackie. Chalita -- who we were asked to call Chali -- was Mom's roommate in the Hans Bethe House on West Campus during their sophomore years, then Chali transferred to Princeton for her final two undergrad years and stayed for her doctorate in mathematics.
Jackie was born in the U. S. to parents who had fled Ethiopia after Haile Selassie was overthrown in 1974; her father had been a senior minister in the Selassie government and, through close connections in the State Department, was allowed to seek asylum here. Jackie was born in New York City a few years later. She lived with Mom off campus in Collegetown during their junior and senior years, after which Mom moved to Palo Alto for Stanford Law and Jackie moved to Philly to get her MBA at Wharton. Afterward, both Chalita and Jackie independently came back to Ithaca. Jackie was now a senior administrator at the business school and Chali was a tenured professor in the math department.
They had never met, though, until they both attended Mom and Dad's wedding some six years after they'd both resettled at Cornell. They married six years after that and had just celebrated their 15th anniversary.
Our hostesses were delightful and, after showing us the campus, Jackie invited us to have dinner with them at their home. Insisted, really. "Nothing fancy.", she said. "We know you're tired after the trip but, please, we'd love for you to hang a while."
They'd been so gracious that we could hardly say 'no' and, to be honest, I'd kind-of hoped for the offer. As much as I wanted to get Peter into bed, I wanted even more to spend more time with Jackie and Chali; they were really very special people. Especially Jackie. I readily accepted and I could see that Peter concurred in my decision; he'd been not-so-surreptitiously gawking at Chali's body all afternoon...
We didn't need anything from our hotel room, so we drove straight to their house, a lovely Victorian surrounded with plantings and other delightful homes.
"Can I get you guys something to drink?" asked Chani.
Peter chimed in. "We're not 21 yet but, if you'll oblige, we both enjoy a nice dry wine. Red or white. Doesn't matter."
