I felt the warmth of the sun on my face and a pounding in my head. 'How much did I drink last night?' I wondered. But that wasn't the only question I had. Something didn't feel right, in fact, a lot of things didn't feel right. I forced my eyes open to seen the bloodshot eyes of a man in the bed I was in.
"Aaahhh!" we both cried, which was quickly followed by, "Ooohh!"
I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and opened them again. The man was still there staring at me. His brown hair was a matted mess, his brown eyes were very bloodshot, and he was sporting what some would call a five o'clock shadow.
"Hi," he croaked.
"Hi," I moaned back.
"I'm Owen."
"Ryleigh."
"Nice to meet you... again."
I giggled and looked around the room. This wasn't my dorm room, and I had no idea where I was. I moaned. "Where am I?"
Owen looked around. "My room at the frat house."
"Frat house? Oh fuck!"
"I need to use the head. Would you like something when I come back?"
"Water," I moaned.
"I'll be right back."
Owen slid out of his bed and stood up. His semi-flaccid cock hung between his legs as he grabbed a pair of boxers. I smiled, but said nothing as I watched him leave. His curly brown hair, firm build, long legs made me smile. I'll admit, if I was to wake up next to a naked man, he was a man I didn't object to waking up with. Now, if I could only remember what we did last night. I shut my eyes and tried to remember what had occurred the night before.
Flashes of loud music and dancing ran through my memory. My friend Chrissy was the one who talked me into coming, but shortly after we arrived she ditched me to be with her sorority sisters and the other frat guys. I debated about leaving, but I didn't. Why? Oh, because that guy asked me to dance with him. Not the guy who I woke up with though. Who was he again? Owen, that's right.
I was still lying back and under the covers when Owen returned with four bottles in his hands. He handed me two and said, "Here."
"Thanks," I said, then drank some water. The other bottle, lemon-lime Gatorade. My personal favorite.
"So, how long have you been a member of KT?"
"KT?"
"Kappa Tau."
"I'm not a member of Kappa Tau, or any sorority for that matter."
"Then why were you at our party?"
"My former roommate and best friend is a member. She invited me. I'm three weeks away from graduation."
"Wow! Congrats!"
I lay back on the bed, then asked, "Are my clothes in here somewhere?"
"What clothes? If you mean your underwear, they might be downstairs. Last night was our annual toga party."
I closed my eyes and sighed. "Oh fuck! That's right. I was wearing a purple sheet."
"You mean this one?" asked Owen, holding up a purple bed sheet.
I opened my eyes. "Yeah, that's mine. Is my bra around?"
"What color is it?"
"Purple. I really would like it back. It's my favorite."
"We usually keep them as mementos of our parties."
"What will it cost me to get it back?"
"I'd say a blowjob, but you don't look so good and to be honest, I'm enjoying our chat. Finish your water and I'll try to rescue you bra and panties."
"The panties are a white cotton thong with black smiles on them."
Owen smiled. "They sound cute. So tell me, why did you attend our toga party?"
I sighed. "Because I'm going to graduate in three weeks."
"I'm not sure I understand."
I drank my water and Gatorade, then said, "I've done nothing but work and go to school for the last four years. I'm on four scholarships that demand I maintain a 3.0 GPA, I'm working two part-time jobs, and I usually spend my free time studying. Chrissy, my friend, told me I needed to experience college, not just attend."
"Why didn't you try to join the sorority?"
"I did. They don't usually take girls who can't afford to be members. Chrissy got in, I didn't. I figured it was for the best. So, Chrissy moved into sorority the house and we stayed friends. When she told me about the party, I figured, what the hell."
"What's your major?"
"Majors," I corrected him, not that he'd know that before. "Computer science and English. I want to write educational programs to help teach kids how to read."
"Why not become a teacher?"
"Simple. They get paid like shit."
Owen laughed. "This is true. My older sister is a teacher and she's always bitching about how shitty her pay is."
"I need to use the bathroom, and I don't have any clothes."
"Here," said Owen, handing me a clean t-shirt and boxers. "This way you don't need to walk out naked. Not that I would mind."
I smiled and slipped on the clothes. Owen escorted me to the bathroom and offered to search for my bra. It was then I saw my reflection. My face was red and blotchy, my hair, a matted mess. Not only was I sure I had fucked Owen, but I was pretty sure I had fucked another as well. Maybe. Flashes of kissing random guys danced through my head. I also remember when I took my bra and panties off. It was stupid, but it was during the song, "Shout!" All the sorority girls were taking their bras off and tossing them into a basket. Not wanting to be left out, I did the same. Though, I know I was pretty drunk by then.
I emptied my bladder and returned to the room I was in before. I grabbed my toga and stared at it. Hot tears welled up in my eyes, and burned down my cheeks. What was I thinking coming to a frat party and fucking a random stranger or two? I put my face into my hands wept. I had never had a one-night stand before and the shame of my stupidity added to my poor decisions.
Owen entered the room and exclaimed, "Hey! What's wrong?"
"I'm not a slut," I sobbed.
Owen set the food on his dresser and sat next me, putting his arm around me. "I know that."
"I got so drunk last night."
"What did you drink?"
"Beer, tequila, I think some rum and vodka. I know I kissed several guys."
"Sounds like a normal party here."
"And then I wake up and I can't remember if we fucked or not!"
