Time was elastic. Being busy helped the first two hours of Thursday morning flow with comfortable speed. When I dismissed the platoon to go to class, I quickly headed to my desk. After sitting down, I opened my book to skim the material that had been covered yesterday. Time slowed down as I waited. I noticed Kelly walking into the class, holding the arm of a short, heavily muscled Hispanic corporal. I was glad that she found someone, and I hoped that he was what she needed.
With just over a minute left, Cheryl finally came in. She gave me a tentative smile, said good morning and sat down. When the class started, the first order of business was to pass out the graded quizzes from yesterday. Once again I had aced the test. Next, we received today's quiz. While still easy, much of this quiz covered army specific paperwork and terminology. Time sped up as I worked on the test. I knew that I had done well, but wasn't 100% sure that I had aced the quiz. I knew from college that any questions that I reviewed and changed were almost always changed from the right answer to the wrong answer. So having completed the quiz, I turned it in and was released from class 15 minutes early.
I went to the break room, got a cup of coffee and waited for Cheryl as time once again slowed to a crawl. After 10 minutes, I went to get a refill, and I picked up an extra cup for Cheryl. She joined me shortly after I sat back down. Cheryl thanked me for the coffee, and began talking.
"I didn't wake up in time to go to PT this morning. I'm not required to, but it was the first one that I've missed since I have been stationed here. I was so tired last night that I didn't set my alarm. I was really sleep deprived. I think that was part of the trigger for what happened last night."
I said "Don't worry about last night, as far as Linda and I are concerned, we were only worried about you."
"Linda left a note on my pillow saying that she was going to stay in her own bed last night so that she wouldn't wake me." Cheryl said.
"I'm sure that she did it as a sacrifice for your benefit." I told her. "I know that she enjoys staying with you."
"Let's change the subject. What did you think about the tingler?" I asked.
"Oh god, it was amazing. It felt as though I came for a solid half hour. I lost count of the number of orgasms that I had. When you finally stopped, I kept cumming for maybe a minute or two. The sensations finally started to taper off, and the physical sensations were replaced with emotions, so strong there was no way that I could contain them. If I wasn't so tired, I may have been able to direct them better. I only know that you were right, it was at least a thousand times more than I was prepared for."
"So you liked it then?" I teased her.
"Oh god yes, I'll prove it tonight when you come over, I'll fuck you stupid." She stated with conviction.
"About that, I wasn't planning on coming over tonight." I told her.
"Why not?" She pouted.
"I have so much to do to get ready for this weekend. I have to go to the PX to pick up a suitcase, I'll need to get a haircut to stay in regs for next month, I need to get my uniforms with my new stripes on them, I need to pack up my room so that I'll be ready to move Friday afternoon and I need to pack something to wear for this weekend in my new suitcase. By the time I get done with that, I should probably rest up so that I will be ready for you and Linda this weekend." I told her.
"I've got a better idea," She said. "Isn't the barber right next to the laundry?"
"Yes."
"I'll pick you up at the barracks, and take you to lunch at the snack bar. Afterwards, I'll take you to the barber shop, and then the laundry. Put your uniforms in the back of my car, and then we'll go over to my place..."
"But I still need to get a suitcase."
"I've got one that you can borrow, and it will save you money. I'll cook dinner tonight. It will be nice, please say yes." She said.
"Well, it sounds okay if you promise to get me home by 2100 so that I can pack up before lights out. I would love to spend time with you, and it would certainly save me time and money, plus you're throwing in a home cooked meal; sold." I smiled.
"I have to go to the restroom and it's almost time to go back to class. I'll meet you there." She told me.
I agreed, and as she left, I noticed that the two girls that had been sitting at the table right beside us immediately got up to follow her. I didn't believe that it was a coincidence, but I trusted that Cheryl would tell me if there was anything I needed to know. I got up, threw away my empty coffee cup and went back to class.
On the walk back to class, I thought about those two girls. They were the same two who had come up to talk to us before. The seemed very pleasant, but quite young and a little immature. I thought that the tallest of the girls was named Julie, but I couldn't remember the name of the other girl, it may have started with a T. I knew that if I thought about it, I would remember eventually. I sat down at my desk scanning my book, and waited for Cheryl.
Cheryl and the two girls came in just before class started and sat down. We didn't have time to even say hello before class started. I knew that she would tell me what I needed to know the next time that I talked to her, so I cleared my mind and forced myself to concentrate on the instructor.
When the break finally came, I had to use the restroom. Cheryl said that she would wait for me right there. As I was walking back to the classroom, I remembered the other girl's name, Tara. I wondered what Cheryl would have to tell me.
When I sat down, Cheryl asked me if I remembered the two girls who came up to us earlier in the week.
"Yeah, Julie and Tara I think," I said.
"Exactly," Said Cheryl very quietly. "They were sitting next to us in the break room last break and they heard what I said, In fact, everything we said. The girls are nice enough, and don't mean to be any trouble; but they could cause us and Linda real problems, especially if they put everything together."
"How could they do that?" I asked just as quietly.
