He didn't look surprised, just like he was carefully contemplating his options. Who could blame him? How often does a barely legal chick ask for a happy ending to a massage from a guy she's never met? Looking back, Im glad he took the time to think.<br />
<br />
"Call me old fashioned," he said quietly as he leaned closer to my face," but I usually buy a girl dinner and get to know her first."<br />
<br />
"How about tonight?" I asked, knowing I was pressing the boundaries of even my own boldness.<br />
<br />
"Sure, how does nine sound?" He looked slightly amused<br />
<br />
"Thats fine"<br />
<br />
I got up from the table, not bothering to cover myself. Alessandro looked away, but I thought I saw him peek just for a second. I left the room after putting my robe back on, and headed back to my room.<br />
<br />

<br />
I watched her get up from the the massage table only for a second before looking away. I caught a glance of her full, supple breasts, and lithe frame. It was obvious she took care of herself and had a certain amount of natural beauty. Thats what I liked about her, she didn't have to try in order to be pretty. As she slowly slid on her robe I shivered. Her creamy, tan skin glistened in the delicate light from the oil. <br />
<br />
I had not expected her to be so forward when I first met her but I liked that she was unafraid. Too many times I met women who became so nervous around me any kind of meaningful conversation was impossible. But with this girl I could tell it was going to be different.<br />
<br />
It was only after she left that I realized I had not asked her name. I became so caught up in the moment, I had forgotten to ask. But it seemed a rather trivial thing to worry over. I knew I would get my chance to learn her name and maybe much more about her.

</div><div class="MsoNormal">I entered the spa and changed into one of the spa robes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were very gracious and showed me to one of the private rooms that included a waterfall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The skylight in the ceiling let in the pale morning sun, and the heated natural stone floors felt amazing on my feet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I situated myself on the table, trying to relax as I waited for the massage therapist to appear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When he finally walked in I almost didn’t hear him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was wearing a blue silk robe that covered much of his wonderfully tanned skin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His muscles were visible beneath the thin silk robe and all of a sudden the room felt warmer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He leaned his head towards my ear and whispered “Bello dea, my name is Alessandro.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m here to help ease your tension. What is your name?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His accent made it obvious he was Italian and it looked like he knew how extremely hot women thought he was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His hands were amazingly gentle or firm in all the right places and soon I could feel every muscle in my body relaxing and turning to butter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His face seemed intent on my body as his hands caressed my skin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We chatted briefly every now and again, just making small talk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His voice was soothing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After about an hour I could feel him starting to wrap up my massage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“Signora, do you still feel tension in your muscles?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is there somewhere that still needs my attention?”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thought about it for a minute.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">Now I don’t want to come off as one of those over- privileged, underappreciated rich girls because its not entirely true.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am intimately aware of just how rich my family is, and I am also aware of how other people (most people in fact) are not so monetarily gifted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, appearances are sometimes necessary to uphold in order to avoid a later shit storm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For example, if word got out that I stayed at a hotel in Michigan that was not owned by our “dear family friends” the Devons, I would never hear the end of it from my mother.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She would be terrified that I had insulted our “dear family friends,” and she would lose her discount on her yearly, month long stay, on some exotic island.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“Hi, are you checking in?” asked the desk clerk in a voice a little too cheery for 3am.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“Yes, I don’t have a reservation though.”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“That’s fine Miss Rossi, we have your usual suite available.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Will that be ok?” I was surprised that she knew me by name.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had only been to that hotel once or twice in my life, and I had never seen this woman before. “I’ll have someone carry your bags for you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Would you like some room service?”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“Yes, please” I was already hungry again, even though I was exhausted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At least I didn’t have to carry my bags, the valet had moved them to the sidewalk for me and now some scrawny looking young man was putting them on a cart and leading me to my suite.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“Don’t you need my credit card?” I asked the clerk.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“No, miss, everything is already on file, have a lovely evening, and let me know if there is anything I can do for you!” Her cheery talking was starting to give me a headache. I had never been to a hotel before, even with my parents, that didn’t require a credit card, or had kept our card “on file.” Whatever.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Once I got to the room I directed the bellboy where to put my bags, and then tipped him generously. Now it was time to get down to some serious business: food.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“I’ll have the crab cakes, the mac & cheese, garlic bread, the veggie omelet, black bean burger with fries, double chocolate cake, a strawberry milkshake, and the scrambled eggs with hash browns. Oh, and can you send up a bottle of ketchup?”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“You want the whole bottle, ma’am?”</div><div class="MsoNormal"> </div><div class="MsoNormal">“Yes, and some extra napkins”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I moved closer to the RA hoping that would keep me from getting arrested.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It worked.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“Are you the one that discovered the scene?” asked the officer.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“Yes”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“Well I need to get a statement of what happened, maybe you can tell me what you saw when you came in the room?”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“Uh….ok…..” My brain struggled to form words, to remember the first part of the atrocity I had walked into.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I apologized, using my tiredness as an excuse. He nodded understandingly, and then looked at me suspiciously.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“Young lady, did you partake in any of the activities going on in that room tonight?”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I started thinking about drinking at the bar, throwing up on that douche bag, stumbling to the diner…..</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“No, sir” </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“Good, now do you have another place you can stay tonight? I don’t think that room is fit for staying in tonight.” At that moment the RA barged in and said I could sleep in her room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She had a sleeping bag I could use and sleep on the floor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She sounded like a small child who had made her first friend.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“I live locally, so I’ll just go stay at my parents’ house tonight, officer.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He seemed very satisfied with that response, but the RA looked visibly rejected, as if I had just vomited in her face too.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">At that moment, I didn’t even care. Fuck the dorms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fuck Cary and her orgy.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I went in the room with some hesitation and a lot of breath holding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I opened the window, pulled out an overpriced suitcase my parents bought me, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and began to pack all of my things into it; clothes, books, laptop, my secret stash of, uh, medicine, and some other essentials.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was exhausted, nauseous from the smell, and too hung over to deal with this shit.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

This immediately saddened me because it meant that Cary would be home. I sighed and unlocked the door.<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Inside the music was much louder, and the room was much warmer than it normally was. There were 5 naked people, 3 girls and two guys, in various positions in the center of the room, performing various sexual acts, and no one noticed that I was there. As I stepped forward my feet hit several beer cans and other empty bottles that used to contain alcohol, making lots of noise as they banged together. There were lines of coke on my laptop, and various pills laid out on my dresser. Everyone there looked pretty fucked up, too fucked up to notice I had walked in, or were they so into their sexcapade that they didn’t care? I took a step forward, once again bumping into more bottles and finally got close enough to Cary’s CD player to shut it off. Cary looked up and said “Kristin!” and then just sat there, not bothering to move, even though there was some strange guys dick in her ass. It was also then that I looked around the room and noticed a used condom on my bed, and some sweaty guy who left a wet ass print on my comforter when he got up to get his clothing. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I stood there in shock. I was not sure what to do. And then one of the other girls, who had been sucking one of the guys cocks, made up my mind for me quite easily when she vomited a huge amount onto the floor a few feet from where I stood.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I’m usually not a tattle tale, but I’d had enough of Cary’s shit. I pulled out my phone, snapped one picture of the overall scene I walked into, then turned and stormed out of the room. At this point Cary must have pulled the dick out of her ass because she was screaming after me, and I could hear the bottles clinking on the floor. I walked straight to the RA’s room. Her door was open so I simply walked inside, gently grabbed her arm and told her she needed to come with me. I must have looked serious because she put up no resistance as we glided down the hall, towards the sound of Cary still screaming my name over and over.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">When I walked into the room with the RA everyone was still in their original places except Cary who was standing, naked and sweaty, at the door of the room. I pushed past her, towing the RA behind me. The girl that had vomited before I left was still vomiting. The puddle was now at least three feet wide, and widening each time she heaved. Everyone was still naked and seemed unaware that anything was wrong. Cary seemed to be the only one that was alarmed, even though she was just as seriously drugged up as the rest. She moved around me, and in front of the RA; placing both her hands on the RA’s shoulders to steady herself. With a lot of effort she managed speech and said, “I am sooo sorBLAAAAGGGHHHH!!!” Cary had projectile vomited all over the face and chest of the RA, who screamed and started trying to wipe the vomit off her face while Cary turned slightly and started vomiting on the floor next to the other girl. The scent of vomit, stale alcohol, sweat, and sex juices had heavily permeated the air and it was getting hard to breathe. I calmly turned, grabbed Cary’s towel from the bathroom and handed it to the RA, then I propped open the door to the room because the stench was so intense I thought I might vomit myself. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">After the RA wiped off her face she called the police. Cary passed out before that phone call with her hair in the pool of vomit and naked, while the others just stayed where they were, also naked, staring with incredibly dilated pupils and a goofy grin on their faces, giggling every now and again. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">When I left Beaner’s it was late afternoon and I was hungry.<span> </span>I considered eating out but the only thing around Middle State College is fast food which I will pass on every time.<span> </span>So I decided the head back to the dorms and maybe grab some food from the Cafeteria (not the best idea I’d had that day). After driving around trying to find a parking place for 20 minutes I finally walk into the Caf.<span> </span>The smell of beef product drenched in pepper sauce filled my nose- it was Mexican night.<span> </span>Usually I don’t have much of an appetite for the Caf food but this somehow sounded good.<span> </span>It was buffet style so I didn’t hesitate to pile about four times more food on my plate than I could eat.<span> </span>I even found this slightly charming girl who was in one of my classes to sit with and we talked for a few hours about various things.<span> </span>She was majoring in mortuary sciences which I found fascinating, and wanted to own a funeral parlor.<span> </span>I didn’t really know what to say when she divulged these bits of information so I pretended it didn’t bother me and barreled on with my questions.<span> </span>She was very good at making conversation and before I knew it, it was time to go get ready for the nights festivities.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I got back to the dorms and was surprised to see Cary and a few of what had to be her friends (read: backstabbing bitchy frenemies) sitting around drinking large cheap bottles of what had to be beer.<span> </span>They giggled, drooled, and talked with slurred speech that could have only been the result of too much alcohol.<span> </span>I got dressed, and left, as quickly as possible while they whispered loudly to one another the way drunken people do, as if I couldn’t hear them from 5 feet away.<span> </span>I hoped they would either be gone or passed out when I got back.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The bar I went to was one that the girl from earlier in the Caf invited me to.<span> </span>It was your typical college bar, full of drunken frat boys, and slutty girls.<span> </span>They played loud rock music, and served cheap beer but there were some attractive looking guys so I decided to stay.<span> </span>I found Caf girl and proceeded to meet all her slutty friends who I’m sure would have made better conversation had they not been totally wasted.<span> </span>“Fuck it,” I thought, “might as well join them.”<span> </span>And boy, did I join them.<span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">After my second pitcher, yes <i>pitcher</i>, of beer to myself, my vision was beginning to become unreliable, as were my legs.<span> </span>I planted myself on a bar stool to keep myself upright as this hot guy I’d been flirting with all night came back from the bathroom.<span> </span>He began to do the Greg Geraldo routine about being too drunk to get on a plane.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“Excuse me miss, I don’t think you look like a sitter.”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“What?” I played along for a minute.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“Um, I think you’re too drunk to get on the plane, miss, you don’t look like much of a sitter…” he continued for several more minutes.<span> </span>Had I not been completely trashed I would not have found this incredibly funny.<span> </span>But I was trashed, so it <i>was</i> funny. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">After he finished talking I began to not feel so well and sure enough I went into the bathroom and vomited all over the toilet, somewhat missing it and getting some of it on the floor.<span> </span>After that I had to find another stall because I had to pee.<span> </span>Don’t judge me; <span> </span>you know you’ve been there too.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">When I came out of the bathroom Hot Guy, who I had been flirting with all night was shoving his tongue down some skank’s throat.<span> </span>He turned to me and said “Hey babe, we were just about to leave, did you want to come?”<span> </span><i>We? </i>I felt the urge to vomit again and thought about running to the bathroom but I decided he deserved it and hurled all over his shoes, splattering the skank in the process, and leaving them both to stand in a puddle of my puke in shock.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Caf girl then asked if I wanted to head to the local greasy diner that was open late for some food. I agreed because after vomiting twice I felt empty and had a strong desire to fill myself again.<span> </span>I was beginning to tire of drunkenness, and even though I could feel my level of intoxication lowering with every step, I felt I needed food.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The large quantities of greasy food put me in a food coma and also sobered me up enough that I started to remember what thinking clearly had felt like.<span> </span>I started having thoughts like “what time is it?” and “do I still have my keys?” and “where did I park my car?” and “did I drive or did I walk to the bar?”<span> </span>All of these thoughts washed over me as I ate my third plate of sliders with fries, drowned in ketchup. Leaving the diner, I may have been in a food coma but I felt massively better than when I left the bar.<span> </span>It was still early, only around midnight or so, when all of us started our long, and staggering walk back to campus and the dorms. I don’t remember the walk, but the girls tell me it was uneventful.<span> </span>I do remember the chilly night air further serving to sober me up which caused me to notice the intense pounding of my head.<span> </span>I was looking forward to the pain killers I had in the dorm, and some sleep.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">This is the part where I should confess that at first I was eager to get back to the dorms, but once I got there I felt this feeling like I shouldn’t go upstairs.<span> </span>However, there was my stuff in the room and that feeling made no fucking sense, so at the time I ignored it and proceeded to go upstairs.<span> </span></div>Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04201694587141249561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811344926936879117.post-70534477241957802012011-01-20T10:40:00.000-08:002011-01-20T10:40:33.186-08:00The Conversation Part Two<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>EN-US</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:DontVertAlignCellWithSp/> <w:DontBreakConstrainedForcedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> <w:Word11KerningPairs/> <w:CachedColBalance/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"

<div class="MsoNormal">Taking Brad to Beaner’s coffee (my now favorite coffee shop) was definitely not the boldest thing I’ve ever done.<span> </span>Trust me when I say that I’ve been bolder. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">We met at the shop since I absolutely hate carpooling with people.<span> </span>I hate it when you meet someone new and you think they’re an ok person until you get in the car and all of a sudden they’re singing to the radio, flipping through your CD’s and generally acting like jackasses.<span> </span>I’ve met many a fine people who have behaved like retards once they are in a car.<span> </span>All of them were quickly erased from my list of friends.<span> </span>So now I have a policy of not carpooling in order to enjoy the friendship longer.<span> </span>It usually works.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">So we both walk up to the cashier, I order a hot chocolate; he orders a fair trade green tea.<span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Um… this should have been my first hint.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">We get our steaming beverages and find a cozy corner where there are very plush seats.<span> </span>I try to stay as far away from other people as possible when I’m at these kinds of places.<span> </span>Just like in cars, people tend to act stupid.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Out of now where Brad asks me questions, as if he’s been dying to ask me forever.<span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal">“Where are you from?” he asks.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“I’m a local, born and raised.”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“Why did you choose Middle State College?”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“My mother actually went here so it’s not really like I had a choice, she was pretty set on me attending.”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“Oh, so are you going to join a sorority?”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“Not a chance.<span> </span>I’ll pass on being a sorostitute.” I said. He immediately laughed as if he genuinely thought I was funny.<span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“So if your goal in life isn’t to be a sorostitute, what do you want to do with your life?” he asked with seemingly authentic interest.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“Well my parents own a medical equipment company and I think they are expecting me to come and work for them.”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“You don’t seem thrilled,” he said cautiously.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“I’d rather not waste my life waiting for someone else to sign my paycheck.<span> </span>There’s so much more out there and I feel sorry for the people who feel like getting a ‘real job’ is their only option in life.”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“You seem pretty set on doing something different.” He said compassionately.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“Hells yes!<span> </span>Life is too short to do the same boring thing every day, to go to work just because they pay you to be there regardless of how much work you actually get done.” I may have said this a little too passionately, judging by the look on Brads face.<span> </span>He seemed surprise by my level of enthusiasm.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“What do you want to do with your life?” I asked him.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“Not sure yet, I’ve been considering a few things.<span> </span>My parents want me to be a lawyer but I think I’d rather gouge out my eyes with a letter opener.<span> </span>I thought about being a biologist, but there aren’t many jobs that interest me.<span> </span>So for right now I’m just taking the general required classes until something sounds interesting.” He seemed jaded by the process of having to make major choices regarding your life at the age of eighteen and make decisions that would put you on a certain path.<span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“So are you living in the dorms?” He asked me, obviously trying to change the subject.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“Yeah, but I’m not sure how long that will last given the unique qualities of my roommate Cary.”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“Yeah, I considered living in the dorms but in the end I got an apartment with my boyfriend Mark.”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"> I choked on my hot chocolate.<span> </span>WHAT did he say?!?! Boyfriend?! Fucking hell…</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Then in one defining moment of clarity it all made sense.<span> </span>His obvious attention to hygiene, his nice clothes, and his interest in what I actually had to say.<span> </span>Everything clicked. I tried to recover.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“How is it living with a boyfriend? I honestly would not have pegged you as being gay when I saw you in class.” I tried to mix my brutal honesty with a little compassion.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">“It’s good.<span> </span>For awhile we were kind of going through a rough patch, but we got through it and decided to live together.<span> </span>The privacy of our apartment is really nice.<span> </span>I have friends that live in the dorms and their roommates are not always as understanding or open to them having their boyfriends over.”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">She woke me up. I was not happy.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">“Shut off the light, you fucking bitch…I’m trying to sleep,” I said groggily. It was then that I noticed what could have only been Cary’s mother standing just behind Cary. Oops.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">She didn’t say anything, but gave me a stern look. This is probably a good time to mention that it was obvious Cary got all her style sense from her mother. I would venture to say that they may have even shared the same clothing. Her mother was petite, with dark hair and looked like a ragged jersey housewife with too much eyeliner on. Her charcoal eyes made her look like she was freshly beaten, and her foundation was so thick you could have probably peeled it off her face in one single sheet. It is without exaggeration that I say it was a sight to behold. When she opened her mouth to speak I expected some kind of cultural accent but instead she spoke quite clearly and asked me how I liked college so far. I lied and told her it was great. What I didn’t tell her was that her daughter was probably going to fuck the whole football team judging by her ghetto fabulous party attire. That opinion I kept to myself.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Cary was getting settled in, putting away her stuff, making lots of noise. Immediately I became annoyed and decided to take a shower and get ready for class. I had no desire to spend any more time with the Jersey whores in my room.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Classes for me were boring, and easy. I rarely decided to go, and lately had been sleeping in, writing more of my book, and staying away from Cary. Today I knew Cary would be in our room most of the day, and her continuous attempts to start a conversation with me would quickly become annoying. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">I got to my first class with minimal hassle. I had to think for a minute to remember where it was since I had only gone once this semester. My teacher was a middle aged man, brown hair, fairly slender, and obviously had a penchant for the kind of plaid shirts they sell at Lands End. His unusually high pitched voice reminded me of the castrated Chinese choir boys we learned about in high school, and strongly suggested he was gay. His name was Mr. Edland and thankfully he didn’t care if his students came to class or not, this worked perfectly for me. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">I don’t know why I decided to attend but I did. I sat next to this normal looking guy, tall, blonde, wearing a polo shirt and jeans. It wasn’t until he spoke that I realized I may have made a mistake. He had a slightly high pitched voice, like Mr. Edland, and a slight southern drawl.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">“My name is Brad,” he said.<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">“Hi, I’m Kristin,” I responded. I was trying to be polite.<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">“I’ve never seen you in this class before, are you new?”<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">“No, I just choose not to come.” This seemed to surprise him.<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">“So why come today?”<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">“My roommate is a needy cunt.”<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">“Wow, why don’t you tell me how you really feel about her?” He joked.<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">“No need,” I said, “that pretty much sums it up.”</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">By now I had obviously sparked his interest, and even though my gay radar was screeching a bit I decided to push the boundaries of my new acquaintance and ignore my instincts.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">“Do you want to get out of here and get some coffee?” I asked casually.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">“Sure.” </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

after fifteen minutes, which pissed me off.<span style=""> </span>I never spent a long time curling my hair.<span style=""> </span>What’s the point when some guy is going to pull it until its straight when you’re mid- fuck?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I threatened to leave without her if she wasn’t ready in five minutes.<span style=""> </span>Exactly five minutes later I left and made it all the way to the first floor entrance before I heard Cary’s nasal voice shrieking after me to wait.<span style=""> </span>I waited, because I was still trying to be nice.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">It wasn’t until she caught up to where I was standing that I noticed what she was wearing.<span style=""> </span>She had on a tight purple dress that only a call girl would wear, and her black hair was in a messy ponytail due to the fact that I did not allow her to finish curling it.<span style=""> </span>Her shoes were obviously patent leather pumps that I swear I had seen a stripper wear on a documentary about prostitution.<span style=""> </span>I didn’t say anything but made a mental note to keep my distance at the party, just in case her skankiness decided to rub off.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">We arrived at the party a few hours after it had started and immediately I took some of the molly that I had brought with me.<span style=""> </span>Someone I met in the hallway shared a line of coke with me, and the frat boys kept my red plastic cup full of beer all night.<span style=""> </span>The party was impressive, from what I remember, and thankfully Cary disappeared into one of the boys rooms early on.<span style=""> </span>I didn’t worry about her, or go looking for her.<span style=""> </span>I figured she could find her own way home.<span style=""> </span>I was too busy trying to find a guy at the party that didn’t still have training wheels on his dick.<span style=""> </span>My search yielded no such person, and I stumbled back to the dorms with a few other girls who lived in the same building.<span style=""> </span>The RA’s did not look pleased when we signed in at the door.<span style=""> </span>It might have had something to do with it being 4:30am, or that we were almost too drunk to stand, but they let us through.<span style=""> </span>I remember going to sleep in my clothes and thinking about how great it would be if Cary just disappeared.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately, I was not so lucky.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The next morning was supposed to be our first day of classes.<span style=""> </span>I was informed by a very solemn RA that Cary was hospitalized early in the morning “due to an overconsumption of multiple substances.” Really? It’s the first party and you already fuck yourself over? The RA said that Cary would be back within the week, most likely, and if I needed to talk to anyone there was a counseling center on campus.<span style=""> </span>I asked her if I could talk to someone about having the room all to myself and transferring Cary somewhere else.<span style=""> </span>The RA did not look pleased, and walked away.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">After that I got dressed and headed to some unmemorable class, where the professor talked like a fag.<span style=""> </span>This was only entertaining for about ten minutes, at which point I put on my headphones and started reading the textbook in order to learn the material.<span style=""> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Once class was finished I decided to visit the cafeteria for lunch and as I expected I was served by someone my own age, who had no food experience.<span style=""> </span>They made me a crappy sandwich, which I only ate half of because it tasted like cardboard with ranch on it.<span style=""> </span>In the back I could see the old, weathered, “lunch lady” types washing dishes or some shit.<span style=""> </span>From the look on their faces I would venture to say their lives sucked.<span style=""> </span>I left to go to the remainder of my classes, collect the syllabi, and listen to the professors go on and on about their dull classes and rules.<span style=""> </span>Then I went back to the dorm to sleep because I was still kind of hung over.</p>Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04201694587141249561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811344926936879117.post-56731638109439026372010-12-28T13:12:00.000-08:002010-12-28T13:14:02.551-08:00Beaner’s

I just wanted a simple fucking drink from the goddamn menu posted on their earth toned wall.<span style=""> </span>Is it really that hard?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I was at the coffee shop to write.<span style=""> </span>It was too hard to do it at home, too distracting.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Someone had told me to write about what I knew best.<span style=""> </span>I probably shouldn’t have written about the people I know in my life but for once I was taking someone else’s advice and the writing was coming along well.<span style=""> </span>Little did I know, the one time I followed someone’s advice, it would be my downfall. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">My parents named me Kristen after someone famous they knew that was way before my time.<span style=""> </span>I was to attend Middle State College in Michigan, where I was born.<span style=""> </span>Not that I had much of a choice.<span style=""> </span>My mom really wanted me to go there because she went there.<span style=""> </span>She even wrote the essay for me, filled out the application and everything.<span style=""> </span>All I had to do was sign the form.<span style=""> </span>I wanted to be an art major but my parents said I would never make any money and chose business for me instead.<span style=""> </span>Some of the classes I had to take my first semester sounded pretty gay.<span style=""> </span>So I stocked up on enough Adderall to make myself care, just in case.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Other than that my life was pretty good.<span style=""> </span>My boyfriend and I had broken up before graduation in the spring which at first was kind of shitty but it meant I got to hangout/ fuck any one I wanted at all the parties over the summer which was pretty awesome. There was no guy I liked in particular, which was convenient since most of them would be going to schools across the state, or even across the country, so I probably wouldn’t see them much.

As freakish as she looked I agreed to go to the bar with her after I had dinner with my parents that night, hoping that her startlingly disproportionate body would make me look that much hotter from the male perspective.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Dinner with my parents followed the same routine.<span style=""> </span>They both worked a lot and I rarely saw them, but everyone knew who they were.<span style=""> </span>They ran a successful medical equipment business and I was the heir to their perfectly sterile throne.<span style=""> </span>It would be an understatement to say I wasn’t thrilled about it. However my parents needed to feel respected as long as I wanted their money.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">They asked me a series of arbitrary questions about my excitement for college, my class schedule, what I was doing over the weekend.<span style=""> </span>Same shit, different dinner.<span style=""> </span>I replied with my usual responses which were formulated to be exactly what they wanted to hear.<span style=""> </span>They both nodded their heads with enthusiasm while I fed them these baseless lies.<span style=""> </span>Their faces glowed with pride as we finished our meal. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span>In exchange for such a performance, and because I was attending the college of their choice I found it was only fitting for them to purchase me a car.<span style=""> </span>I asked, and without needing to cite any reasons for why the car they bought me two years ago wasn’t adequate, they obliged.<span style=""> </span>Just like that.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I excused myself from the presence of my parents after the main course partly because the random questions were giving me a headache, and partly because I’d rather drink my dessert.<span style=""> </span>I met Eliza at a bar called Austin’s where we flashed our fake ID’s and immediately downed several shots named after various body parts. I didn’t particularly like Eliza, mostly because she talked almost non- stop (even more after she’d had a few drinks), but I did like her as my wing woman.<span style=""> </span>That is, until she projectile vomited across the bar, spraying at least three people with her vomit, including the bartender, who kicked us out.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Eliza had gone over the line of normal drunkenness and had decided to lift up her skirt and urinate on the sidewalk as we exited the bar.<span style=""> </span>I allowed her to do so in hopes that she wouldn’t leave any fluids in the cab on our ride home.<span style=""> </span>For a moment I actually felt bad for her as she fell walking up to her front door, but that moment passed, and when I was done laughing at Eliza I was grateful that I wouldn’t be seeing her, or anyone from high school, until next spring.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Awesome.</p>Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04201694587141249561noreply@blogger.com0
