Rare Events In the Shower
Further escapades of the characters introduced in the previous Rare Events stories. Hopefully this installment stands on its own, but the characters and backstory are in "Rare Events" and "Rare Events Bring Changes." All characters are over 18 years of age.
"What were you thinking, Kate? Tom? Again??? You had to know I was going to give you shit about that!"
I watched as my BFF squirted the body wash on her chest and lathered herself up. I've never been that attracted to women, but quite enjoy watching Kate get soapy; she is model gorgeous. I've heard over and over that my breasts are super nice, but I don't stack up against her spectacular Ds. They are irresistible tractor beams for men when on display, and they'd obviously worked their magic on Tom. Words are her weapon of choice though; she's going to be a killer attorney.
Wearing only the smirk she'd had on her face since Melissa had left the bathroom leaving us alone in the shower, she handed me the washcloth to use on her back. We'd caught each other having sex with our off-limits housemates the night before, and this was our first chance to make fun.
"Well, it was Tom's little reward for staying quiet about the first time. Anyway, your fault Jen, you got me thinking about it again after our chat about "THE RULE." And you're one to talk, taking advantage of poor virginal Dan!"
I laughed at her gentle rejoinder, but she had a point. I still was feeling a bit guilty since, well...basically assaulting Dan after we'd watched the total eclipse together. The week afterwards he'd avoided me. I thought I'd maybe gone over the line with him, but when I snuck up to his room to apologize, I wound up doing it again. He seemed to like it.
"I'll take that body wash now."
I soaped up while she took the shower head and rinsed.
"I was just horny, Jen. Tom has definitely learned something about female anatomy in pre-med...he gets me off. He's more fun than a sex toy."
I presented my back so she could get me with the washcloth.
"Well, he's had enough practice over the last couple of years!"
That made her laugh. Tom seemingly had run through most of the women in his pre-med study group--and many miscellaneous others--often so loudly that we could hear it on the floor below. He had quite the reputation.
"I know he comes across as a fuck boy. But really, he's not that bad, he likes women! He's smart and funny, he'll be a good physician."
I rolled my eyes. Having finished rinsing herself she turned the shower on me and hosed off my suds as I rotated around to give her full access.
"And all I had to do was send a text; by the time I got to the attic he was ready to go, it's so convenient!"
She handed me the showerhead and paused for a beat.
"But don't tell Leah or Mel!"
I laughed again as I finished rinsing all my bits.
We just wanted to keep the peace. When we'd let the two guys move into the open rooms on the top floor, we'd made it clear that they COULD NOT hit on the four of us girls; that so long as we're housemates, we are off limits no matter how desirable we may seem. That was THE RULE. They've behaved well, though Tom's a bit of a flirt, and it's worked for the nearly two years we've all shared the place. But maybe we should have established whether the rules applied to us hitting on the guys, too...now Kate and I had both crossed that line. Hopefully our transgressions hadn't been so loud that Leah and Melissa already had heard--so to speak. In a few weeks we were all graduating and heading off in different directions for the next steps toward grown-up lives, so it was kind of a moot point now.
In any event, the house had been as peaceful and as fun as such arrangements can be. The biggest problem we'd ever had were the four of us girls trying to share a bathroom on our floor, lol. The saving grace was that it was large and had a nice big shower with a handheld shower head. We'd learned to treat it like a communal space, even sharing the shower at times; Kate and I had had many a girl talk there.
"By the way, did I ever tell you that Leah thinks you're hot?"
"Yes. You have. More than once."
"She's
always
had a crush on you; I'm sure she'd love have sex with you..."
"You know I'm not really into women that way, and don't try to change the subject..."
"Me neither, but Leah's so sweet. It was a new experience for me. And nice."
I suppose
technically
Kate could be said to have crossed the line with Leah already.
"Anyway, at least I don't have to worry about Tom getting too attached...I hope you're thinking about that with Dan, Jen."
That hit home, a big part of my guilt. I'm sure that's what Kate was thinking about when she brought up Leah, it was just an experiment for Kate, and she'd felt a little guilty about that. I'd enjoyed my little dances with Dan and wanted more but didn't want to break his heart when we headed off to the rest of our lives. He is a sweet boy, I really do like him, but at this point in my life I'm not thinking long-term.
"So, what happened last night? I thought Dan was avoiding you? Did you molest the poor kid again?"
I laughed and shot her with the shower wand. Kate knows me too well. And Dan
is
a little younger, because he skipped a year of high school and is graduating from university after three years.
"I prefer to think that I took the lead...hey, he's only a couple years younger than us."
Her turn to be amused; she just shook her head.
"You know how shy he is, he's never done anything like this before. Maybe in his head I suppose..."
"And you felt the need to give a tutorial?"
"He wanted me to."
She was laughing again. I'd finished rinsing and put the shower head back in its holder. We got close and stood under it to keep warm.
"He said so?"
"Not exactly...but he had the biggest erection."
