Muttering a quick apology you leap into your room and slam the door behind you. Cursing to yourself the whole time, you pull on some underwear throw on whatever clothing you happen to have lying around. You manage to pull on a pair of sweatpants and a loose fitting t-shirt before you hear a soft knocking at the door. You take a breath to try and calm yourself.
“Yeah?”
“Hey,” Kristen’s soft voice comes through the door. “Um, can you open the door? I need to ask you something.”
You make your way to the door and slowly open it, hoping that Kristen doesn’t have the apartment manager or her boyfriend on the other side waiting to haul you away. Instead you see the young lifeguard shuffling nervously from foot to foot. She looks up and blushes as she meets your gaze so she looks down again. She makes a noise as she realizes she’s now staring at your crotch again and settles on staring at your chin.
“So, , I know this isn’t really the best time, but my sorority’s going to be a party later tonight,” she says. “It’s probably going to be really boring, but we’re required to bring at least one guest, so…would you like to come with me?”
“Um, well…” you begin, unsure of how to answer.
“We wouldn’t have to stay for the whole thing,” Kristen assures you. “Just show up, say ‘hi’, and hang around long enough to be noticed.” Her eyes finally flash up to meet yours. “I’ll buy you dinner or something to make up for it.”
“Sure, I guess,” you murmur. A party surrounded by sorority sisters and free dinner? What’s to lose?
“Alright, thanks!” Kristen smiles. “I’ll need to gather some things, so meet me at the University Center around 6, okay?”
You nod dumbly. Kristen backs up from your door, though you notice her sneak one last glance at your crotch before she heads back to her room. Well, that ended much better than it could have. You’re a bit confused though—you’ve always thought that Kristen had a boyfriend. At least, you’re pretty sure that you’ve heard them going at it once or twice. So even though it sounds like she’s offering to take you out on a date, you’re not exactly positive that’s the case. You’re also not sure about how weird she feels about seeing you getting an erection while looking at her.
Maybe Kristen only invited you because her boyfriend was out of town or something and you were her last resort. Maybe she was only inviting you out as friends. Maybe you should invite a few other people just to help with the awkward tension.
