It's Friday night and I was heading out with my friends to party. Steff, my buddy Chris' girlfriend, was turning 20. So we gathered up some of her and Chris' friends and piled into my car to hit the clubs to celebrate. This was one of the big downsides to having a 4 door car. I could squeeze seven people in it, so I ended up driving a lot. We would spread the designated driver duties around, but tonight was my night. Tonight it was Chris, Steff, Emma, Chloe, Steve, Jill, and myself. Fortunately those under 21 had fake IDs.
After a fun night of dancing, drinking (except me), and partying, we all piled back into my car and headed back to the dorms. I lived in a loft right next to the campus. When we got back it was around 1am. Everyone was able to stagger back to their rooms except Emma. She was just about falling down drunk. Everyone except for Chloe and I had already jetted off to their rooms. Chloe and Emma were good friends so Chloe tried to help her, but just wasn't strong enough. So I pitched in and helped Chloe get Emma to her room and into bed.
The college we went to was in the middle of a major city. The campus was fairly safe, but crime off campus was significant. This was an issue because Chloe also lived off campus. She only lived a few blocks from the campus. I would have driven her, but parking is a big problem. I got a good spot that night, and kind of wanted to keep it. Plus Chloe was cute so I offered to walk her home.
"Thanks Marc, you don't have to."
"Listen, I would feel horrible if something happened to you. You only live a few blocks from here. It's really no problem. Plus, what else do I have going on?"
My logic was enough to convince her so we started off.
It was early fall. When we left the campus earlier that evening it wasn't that cold. Now in the middle of the night it had really cooled off. Chloe was dressed for the warmer weather in short shorts, and a sleeveless top, and was obviously getting cold on the walk. Being no fool I put my arm around her. She snuggled in tight as we walked.
This was also an opportunity to get to know her better. While we were in the same circle of friends we didn't know each other that well. She was a sophomore (I was a senior), but I had never seen her with a boyfriend. In fact while she hung out during the class day, I very rarely saw her in the evenings or weekends. I figured that she was probably working. I guess this would also be the time to tell you what she looks like: about 5'5", piercing blue eyes, slender, shoulder length dark brown wavy hair, firm ass, and noticeable tits.
While the walk went much quicker than I would have liked we were having a good time. She laughed at my jokes, and I laughed at hers. I found out that she grew up in a small town about two hours from our school and that she had a younger brother. By the time we got to her apartment we felt like old friends.
Also by the time I got to her apartment I was starting to feel pretty cold. "Marc, why don't you come in and warm up before you head back?" she asked. I would have been a fool to say no, and I didn't.
What was surprising was that the apartment she lived in was nice. It wasn't the standard run-down college student looking place on the outside. Inside the furniture was sparse, but nice. I got the sense that it was a one bedroom. All I saw was the small combo living room/dining room, and kitchen off to the side. Chloe motioned me over to the couch and I sat down. She went into the kitchen.
"Ummm, coffee, tea, or hot chocolate?" she asked.
I wanted something warm but didn't want caffeine to keep me up the rest of the night. It sounded kind of lame so I chuckled and replied, "Hot chocolate please."
We continued talking while she made our drinks. In short order she walked into the living room with two warm cups. She sat down on the couch close to me while we sipped our drinks.
Chloe put her cup on the coffee table and looked intently at me, "Thanks a lot for walking me home tonight. I've had a great time with you." Now she looked a little bashful, "Now, I have a question to ask you, but you have to promise that it won't go any further than you."
I was intrigued. Knowing that I could keep my mouth shut I said, "Sure. I don't kiss and tell."
She smiled and gave a little laugh, "Yea, that's what I've heard. So, you've probably noticed that I don't have a boyfriend."
"Yea. As pretty as you are I'm surprised."
She smiled, "Thanks. It's not because I don't want one, it's because of my... um... job."
