David stepped out of the shower, hearing a loud pounding against the wall as he did so. He reached for his towel and clumsily wrapped it around his waist. He need not have worried though; the roaring laughter and giggling a room over indicated Erika and her friends were the ones responsible.
"Hey, I'm having college friends over for a drink later. We'll try not to be too loud," Erika had said.
"Sure," David responded dryly, looking up to see his sister's back. She was rummaging through the cabinets, her legs straining as she peered over the top shelf. Denim shorts suited her ample thighs, he thought.
"Well? Nicer than your girlfriend's?" Erika had noticed David's stares.
"I'm not dating anyone now. Stace and I stopped seeing each other about a month ago," he quipped back tersely.
His sister's smirk dropped. "Oh... sorry. Things are tough, aren't they? Well, I'm meeting up with Sara and Ashlyn. Be back later!"
Now, as David passed Erika's door in the dark hallway, he had half a mind to knock and ask if they could keep it down but decided against it. He should probably dress first, after all.
Turning the knob to his own room, David heard the neighboring door open, accompanied by a cacophony of music, squealing, and what sounded like complaints to close it.
"Hey Davy! Come here for a sec!" Erika called after him.
