'What a trip!' I thought as I woke up. First Toni the night before and then Sarah and Toni this morning. I was so spent that I slept the afternoon and most of the night away. My stomach growled forcing me out of bed. The room was empty.
"I should have visited Tara sooner!" I laughed to myself, but the thought of my cousin made me frown.
She, Toni and Sarah had some fun as well this morning. I think it surprised her even more than me. I was a little concerned about how she would handle it. I sighed and shrugged because it was a problem for later.
"A shower and then some food," I said to myself as I stretched. "After that, I'll see if I can find anyone." I got up and made my way to the shower. I was getting dressed when Sarah returned.
"So, you're finally awake," Sarah grinned.
"You guys wore me out so much that I would probably have slept through the night if not for the fact that I'm starving," I replied. Sarah's grin turned into a laugh.
"Well, we can stop at a pizzeria on the way to Tara's sorority. There's a party tonight and your cousin said to bring you by if you ever joined the land of the living again," Sarah teased as she leaned against the door waiting for me.
I finished dressing and walked up to Sarah. She started opening the door, but I pushed it closed as I leaned forward and kissed her. Her blue eyes danced for a moment before she closed them and wrapped her arms around my neck. My cousin's roommate slipped her tongue into my mouth. We stood like that for quite some time.
"You know, we don't have to go to the party," I said when we finally broke apart. Sarah laughed.
"Yes, we do. I promised Tara I would bring you," Sarah replied. "Besides, I'll need a few days to recover from this morning's fun."
"That long?" I teased.
"Not normally," she replied with a shrug. "But between Toni, Tara and especially you, I may not walk right for a while." I grinned.
We stopped at a pizzeria briefly on our way to the sorority. Sarah had a slice. I finished one while we were there and ate another as we made our way to the sorority.
"So, how come you didn't join a sorority?" I asked. Sarah shrugged.
"I was busy with Sam," she said, but then added. "And honestly, I know I'm not all that easy to get a long with. I was very lucky in getting your cousin as a roommate."
"So then why didn't you try and join Tara's sorority with her?" I asked. Sarah laughed.
"Your cousin's sorority has a reputation of being the 'nice girl' sorority," she replied.
"So?" I prompted.
"Well, isn't it obvious? I'm not a nice girl," Sarah joked.
"You're not that bad," I teased back. "And based on Toni and Tara, I don't think the girls in the sorority are all that innocent."
"They were before you came to visit," she replied. "I never met a girl who seemed more straight than Tara, yet you're here for a day and she let me fulfill quite a few of my fantasies."
"That wasn't like her at all," I said, more to myself then Sarah.
"That's what I'm saying," Sarah agreed. "One of us may need to talk to her tomorrow and make sure she's okay." I nodded in agreement.
We arrived at the sorority not long afterward. Sarah handed me off to Tara and then promptly disappeared. Tara was a little drunk. She was excited to see me and quickly introduced me around. I met so many people that there was no chance I would remember everyone's name.
The girls in Tara's sorority came in all different sizes, shapes and colors. It was actually a little odd to me because at my school the sororities tended to attract girls of a type.
Of course, part of that might have to do with the fact that my school has a lot of sororities. For instance, there wasn't just a jock sorority. There was a sorority for the swimmers, another for the softball players and others for the different sports. There were as many sororities as there were fraternities. That wasn't so at Tara's school. There were only a handful of sororities here.
"Tom, these are two of my pledge sisters," Tara said, pointing out two ladies. They were as different as possible. Neither would be considered beautiful, but both were attractive.
"He's cute," the smaller one said. She was barely five feet tall and Asian.
"This one is Jazzy," Tara said with a roll of her eyes. "She's a big flirt, but she has a boyfriend back home. Don't waste your time."
"Spoil sport!" Jazzy snapped, but she was smiling.
"This is Connie," my cousin added, pointing to the other girl. Connie smiled, but was obviously distracted. She was tall with light brown hair and large full breasts.
"I have to go," Connie quickly said suddenly. "I think the Bitch is looking for me."
"She's really been tough on you recently," Jazzy said with a frown. Connie shrugged and disappeared into the crowd.
"The Bitch?" I asked, already half guessing the answer.
"The pledge mistress," Tara replied. I nodded. This girl must be a real winner. Not a single pledge mentioned her with anything other than fear and loathing.
"How about a dance?" Jazzy asked me. I looked at Tara who shrugged.
"Why not?" I smiled and danced for a while. Jazzy passed me off to one of the other pledges after a couple of songs. This girl was taller and prettier, but I never even got her name.
I excused myself and made my way to the bar when I became thirsty. Tara was doing some sort of sorority duty and I noticed Sarah talking to Leslie, the girl from the night before. Thankfully, she left her foosball-playing friends behind.
I just got a refill on my beer when someone pulled me around by the shoulder. I was surprised, but like a true fraternity member, I found a way of not spilling anything.
"Hey!" I cried, but the blond girl in front of me ignored my words. She had a face that would probably be pretty if she ever smiled. She was also the only other woman present who could give Connie a run for her money in the chest department.
"You're Tara's cousin Tom right?" she asked. I didn't recognize her.
"Yes," I replied. I barely got the word out before she dragged me over to a side table where a group of people was standing.
"Can you chug?" she asked.
"Not very well," I replied honestly.
"Damn! Well, you'll have to do," she said. I had just about enough.
"Excuse me, what are you talking about?" I asked. I was reasonably certain she would have ignored the question if I didn't grab her shoulder. She seemed annoyed at me.
"Some of the pledges were supposed to have a chugging contest against the pledges of one of the fraternities. The fraternity pledges screwed up something and the brothers won't let them show. Now I have to scrounge up some competition," she replied.
