Alex went out of town the next day. He was going back to his hometown for a relative's birthday.
'Good' I thought to myself. This meant I could think about our situation with a clear head. I knew this couldn't continue. The attraction was undeniable, but I figured maybe I could redirect it.
I texted Sean to see if he could hang out. Unfortunately he was busy so I was on my own. No problem. I took a cold shower, hoping to calm myself down. No such luck. I looked at the hickeys across my neck and collar bone, remembering the night before. I got worked up again, and giving up on the cold shower, I turned up the heat of the water to finish bathing. I left the bathroom in a towel, went to my bedroom, and dug out my purple vibrator. What was originally a gag gift from a dear friend, ended up being quite the life-saver in my time as a single woman.
I laid back on my bed, turning it on the lowest setting. I gently ran it across my breasts, relishing the gentle vibrations on my sore nipples. I was soaked before I could even move it down to my now aching groin, and came quickly once it was pressed to my clit. Mechanically, it got the job done, but I still wanted more.
I knew it would be a fruitless endeavor, so I cleaned the vibrator off and put it away.
I set up in the living room, playing a video game to while away the time before I could go to bed. Class hadn't started yet, so there was no homework to do, and very little that I felt like unpacking. Once I deemed it an appropriate time to start drinking, I grabbed a beer, drinking it while I continued playing video games.
A short while later, Kyle and Steve, my roommates, made an appearance. Kyle didn't drink, but Steve joined me and we played a few rounds of Smash Bros., Steve and I were both easily defeated by Kyle. He was almost superhuman in his ability to game. We were no challenge for him.
Sean had been texting me on and off throughout the day. Not as flirty as he'd been last night, I wondered if he might be not as into me as I thought. I was disappointed, but I'd live.
As the night progressed, I had more to drink and my roommates and I defaulted to watching terrible movies. One thing I can say for alcohol, though, is that it makes me more bold.
There was no more illusion, I was bordering on explicit with my texts to Sean. Just short of sexting, I was making it very clear (in my opinion) what I was after.
'It's not fair that you're being such a tease,' Sean texted. I sighed, frustrated that he wasn't getting it. At this point, he was home and by his own admission, not doing a damn thing.
'Then why don't you come over and do something about it?' I messaged back, taking another sip of my beer, slipping out of the thread of conversation my roommates were having.
'What's in it for me?' Sean's reply came quickly.
'Me', I replied. I was almost holding my breath as I pressed send, hoping his reply would come just as quickly.
'I mean, I know you're there. But what's in it for me?' I couldn't tell if he was being dense, or just hoping I might be willing to send pictures. I couldn't help but roll my eyes. Guess I was going to have to lay all my cards on the table.
'Dude. Do I have to spell it out? ME' I smashed the send button, shoving my phone in my hoodie pocket.
'Oh. I'll be right over' I barely took in the message before I heard a knock on the door. I opened it to see Sean panting. He must have run the two streets over to get here. I raised an eyebrow, and moved out of the doorway to let him in. After a cursory "hello" to my roommates, I grabbed his hand, leading him towards the stairs.
"Wait, did you just come over to fuck?" Steve called to our backs as we went up the stairs.
"Fuck off, Steve!" I called, good naturedly back over my shoulder, glad I had opted for even shorter shorts today. I could feel the air on the bottom of my butt as I walked up the stairs. I was almost shivering with anticipation.
I opened the door to my room, still leading Sean by the hand and closed it behind us.
