This is a work of fiction. All characters depicted are 18 years and over.
After the fall semester finals Dan let Sherrie and Craig know he would be moving out at the end of the year. He and Karen would be getting a place of their own so they could be together. Dan told them he thought he had finally found the girl he truly wanted. Sherrie and Craig could see the love blossoming between the two of them and were happy for them.
Craig created a new notice to be posted on the student union bulletin board. They posted it the next day and hoped that they would get some inquires before all the students left for the holidays.
==========
Jennifer was very happy, her finals were over and she believed she did well on them. Right now she was just lounging, no books to study, no classes to attend, no homework or papers to write, just free time on her hands. The Student Union was not crowded at all, a lot of the students had left for home for the holidays already. It was almost quiet and peaceful. The chair was so comfortable that she had a hard time keeping her eyes open.
She was a very pretty girl with dark red hair, a sprinkling of freckles across her pert nose and under her steel Grey eyes, and a smile that could melt butter. She did not think of herself as beautiful but she was. Her legs were long and very shapely, her hips were just right containing a heart shaped ass, her waist created great curves to her body, and her 34C breasts stood high with no drooping and nipples that were perpetually swollen and hard. She was beautiful by anyone's standard.
It had been a good first semester for her. She had great teachers and engaging courses, she had made a few good friends, and had been on a few dates sometimes having pretty good sex on them. Dorm life had been pretty good, her roommate had been the quiet kind which was helpful, and it had not been all that noisy on her floor. But she longed for a little more privacy, both for her own benefit and so she could bring a boy back to her room anytime she wanted. She had to admit that she needed more sex in her life, it seemed to relieve the stress of school and give her the recharge she needed to do well in her classes. She decided to look at the bulletin board to see if there were and notices posted about rooms to rent.
The board was down the hall and there were actually three of them. She searched all of them for rooms for rent but only one stood out. It was for a single room with a shared bath three blocks from the campus. She took a photo of the notice with her phone and then dialed the number.
"Hello, this is Sherrie."
"Hi, my name is Jennifer and I am interested in the room you have for rent."
Sherrie gave her the information and price for the room. She also told her she would be sharing the bathroom with a boy and that the bathroom had two doors and was what was known as a 'Jack 'n Jill' setup. Jennifer was okay with that setup as long as both doors could be locked. They talked price and she was agreeable.
"When can I see the room?"
"There is a tenant in the room currently but he is away for the Christmas holiday. So if you don't mind seeing his stuff you can look at it today."
"Great. Give me twenty minutes and I will be there."
Sherrie gave her the address and they both said goodbye.
The day was cool and somewhat of a breeze was putting a real chill in the air. Jennifer had her coat with her so walking there was no problem. She found the house easily and rang the front doorbell. When the door opened she was surprised to see a male.
"Hi, I'm Craig. You must be Jennifer. Sherrie will be here in a moment."
They shook hands.
"Do you live here?" she asked.
"Yes, Sherrie and I manage the house together. Ah, here she comes."
Sherrie appeared from deeper in the house.
"Hello, I'm Sherrie. I see you've met Craig. Come and lets sit for a few minutes in the living room."
Sherrie and Craig led her into the living room and had her sit in a chair while they took the love seat. Jennifer liked what she had seen of the house. It was roomy and nice with a lot of places to sit. And she liked Sherrie and Craig right away. They seemed friendly and open.
Sherrie explained how the house worked, how many were living there, and what was expected of her. Jennifer had no problems with the house rules, they were not rigid at all and left enough room for everyone to get along. After discussing the setup Sherrie and Craig took her up to Dan's room.
Luckily Dan kept the room pretty clean so it was easy to show it. The bed was even made. Sherrie showed her the bathroom which was also pretty clean. Robert, who had the room next door, had left already for the holidays but Vanessa and Amelia were still there so she introduced them to Jennifer. After meeting them Sherrie and Craig took Jennifer back downstairs and to the breakfast nook.
Sherrie presented the rental agreement as well as the security document. The price was agreeable and Jennifer wrote a check to cover the first month's rent and the security deposit. Jennifer explained that Dan would be moving out between Christmas and New Years and as soon as he was out and they could clean the room, they would call her and she would be free to move in. They all shook hands and Jennifer left.
As she walked back to her dorm she was walking on air. This was exactly what she was looking for. She was so excited to have a room of her own even if she had to share a bathroom with a male next door. After all, she was not shy at all. And she liked everyone she met at the house. She was so lost in thought that she did not notice Roderick pass in her.
"Hi, Jennifer!" he said.
"Hi, Rod. What's up?" she asked.
"Nothing much. I just finished my last final and was heading to dinner. Care to join me?"
"I'd love to."
She joined him and they walked to the restaurant. Rod was a good friend and had been in her History class. She had never dated him but had been to lunch with him a few times. He was just a little taller than she was and slim, but not lanky. He had brown hair cut short, was clean shaven, blue eyes that she liked, and was always dressed in nice, but not pretentious, clothes. Today he was in jeans and a long sleeved shirt and a jacket.
Rod was leading her to a sandwich shop just across from the campus. As they walked and talked Jennifer began to wonder why he had never asked her on a date. She liked him well enough to have said 'yes' if he had asked.
"I rented a room in a house over that way for next semester." she said.
"Oh yeah? So no dorm for you next semester?"
"Nope. I wanted a little more privacy than what you get in a dorm."
"Boy I understand that. And the noise can get unbearable. I wish I could find something like that. How did you come across this deal?"
"I just watched the notices on the Student Union bulletin board until I found one I liked. I think I was pretty lucky to find it."
"Want a roommate?" He joked.
She was surprised at his question. She looked at him for a minute.
"Maybe." she said and then smiled. She didn't know why she said that, they barely knew each other.
