Chapter 29
Picking up where I left off...
I enrolled at the University of Cincinnati, and walked on to the football team, made it, and became the fourth string quarterback. I was second string before graduating, but nothing ever came of what might have been a noteworthy career. I left baseball behind for good.
While not a really well-known school, the U of C had roughly 40,000 students enrolled, 60% of who were female. I loved the odds. Some of the more well-known alumni from the school are: Kathleen Battle, opera singer; Thomas Berger, author of Little Big Man, George Clooney, Movie Actor; Cris Collingsworth, Sports commentator, former NFL player; Greg Cook, former NFL Quarterback; Sandy Koufax, Hall of Fame baseball pitcher; and Oscar Robertson, one the best basketball players ever.
I found life on the campus itself interesting and the sex life there probably higher than many other colleges; at least as far as I can ascertain some years after graduating. The same cannot be said for the rest of Cincinnati.
Although I would distance myself from the following comments, as I had my early education in having sex with women here thanks to my Aunt Nicole.
Forbes Magazine recently rated 40 of the nation's singles scenes by city, and Cincinnati came in 40th -- out of 40. Columbus, Detroit, Indianapolis, Louisville and Pittsburgh all ranked higher. The author called Cincinnati "bland" and "inoffensive" and described us as eating at Applebee's in our "good sweatpants."
It's a sad scene, a tense scenario, but it's mostly true. Many voices speaking on the Cincinnati singles scene have expressed frustration with the area's "meetability" factor, and the swarm of engaged and married couples.
Many young people are dismayed, as well, with the Cincinnati cliques, defined by two categories: place of employment and high school attended.
It's a fact newcomers learn quickly: The scene bubbles with an annual crop of Proctor & Gamble new hires and groups of old high school friends. The former group meets initially through company events and work. Then, once they're done with P&G events, they travel en masse to Main Street, art parties and, most visibly, the sports leagues. Much is the same with other major companies in Cincinnati, but the P&G new hires definitely engulf the scene.
The latter group is the tougher case to crack, since many of these Cincinnatians have known each other since age 14. They tend to flock to local bars and aren't as welcoming to new faces, unless you're introduced by a friend.
Not only are these two young groups frustrating for new Cincinnatians, but they get old for the people inside them, too. The end result is a lot of people who want to meet new people, but are too comfortable with their current situation. And the cycle continues...
Yet Forbes, in another article, cited Cincinnati as "Best City for Nightlife," with restaurants, coffee shops, bars and nightclubs open late in neighborhoods like Mount Adams, Clifton and Hyde Park.
But I've certainly had successful relationships. I think it's all about perspective. Then again, I was in college, and college is ... well, different hormone wise. And, the way I see it, if you're going out, why wouldn't other people like you be going out, too? And they are, especially the ladies.
Fact: My third day on campus, I returned to my dorm room after football practice tired and sore from the long workout, climbed into my bed and fell asleep. Sometime later, I awoke with a start, half sitting up in the darkness. My eyes were utterly unaccustomed to the gloom, but I could feel rather than see the warm presence in my bed.
There was a quiet whisper in the dark. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you..."
Well maybe not, but she sure as hell had a hand on my dick; warm and soft, gently stroking me closer and closer to orgasm. I was almost ready to pop.
"That's okay, that's okay," I grunted, and settled back onto my bed as if this was an everyday, or night experience.
This wasn't the first unannounced visitor I'd ever had to join me in the middle of the night, although I hadn't expected anyone, and had little idea of just who my feminine visitor was. I ran a hand over her smooth back and down her left flank, and heard her purr. She was wearing a light sweater and Capri's or something similar.
"This is really wonderful," she breathed moments later.
"Is it?" I said.
"Yeah, it's so cozy."
"Yeah," I said, "It is cozy. Y'know, if you keep playing with me like you are, I'm gonna come all over you," I whispered.
"Really?" Her giggle was low, and almost liquid in the semi-darkness. I still had no idea who she was.
"Is that so bad? I just wanna make you feel good..."
But from the rough manner in which she was handling me I realized she was inexperienced at the job.
Still, she crawled up until her lips were level with mine, and kissed me while giving my dick a hard squeeze and then pumping it in her fist.
"You like?"
"Hell yeah, I like. Who are you?"
"Guess," she giggled.
"Well, there are other things I like too, and if you're not going to let me sleep we may as well give them a try."
"Oh! Wow! Um, what did you have in mind?"
I grinned in the darkness. "Ever been eaten out before?"
"Uh, I don't think so," she said uncertainly. "What is it, exactly?"
"What, being eaten out?" She had me at a loss. Didn't she know what I meant?
"It's when I, well, uh ... Tell you what. Let go of me and I'll demonstrate, okay?"
"Okay." Her fist released my penis, and I immediately rolled her over onto her back and began kissing my way down her body, pausing for a few luxuriant sucks at her huge nipples underneath the sweater before making my way down lower.
"Ohhhh," she moaned when I squeezed her right breast. "That feels so GOOD!"
"If you like that," I whispered in her ear before licking it and sucking on the lobe. "You'll love what comes next!"
"They didn't tell me about this part!" she moaned, and seemed to have trouble catching her breath.
"Who are they?" I asked.
"Oh ... I can't tell you!"
"Bet I can make you tell me," I said before sucking her ear into my mouth and humming a little song.
"Like that?"
"God, yes!"
"Let's get those pants off you," I said and found the zipper at the base of her spine and pulled it down.
"Wait! You can't..."
"Sure I can ... now's where's that last button?"
"I ... I ... I don't know..."
But I had those Capri's down to her knees and left them there and shoved my face into her panty-covered crotch and gently bit her outer labia.
"JESUS CHRIST!"
"Like that?"
"No! No! No!"
I spit into her crotch, thoroughly saturating the gusset, then licked her dampened cunt. Then pulled my face to the side and asked, "You don't like this?"
"I ... yes ... but I..."
"They didn't tell you how good it was?" I was more than curious as who they were, but that could wait. I'd find out eventually.
"No ... but they never..."
"It gets better when those panties come off."
"No ... I ... I..."
"C'mon, admit it. You've never been this hot before, have you?"
"No, but..."
I gave another suck to her panty-covered crotch and she groaned, "Oh ... you can't mean it!"
"Mean what?"
"You can't really want to lick me down THERE!
It's terribly nasty. It smells terribly and..." Her breath caught in her throat. She took a deep breath and tried again. "It's not too..." Her voice died again.
