a lunatic, blubbering incoherently each time I spoke. I found myself mesmerized by every word, every syllable from his mouth about dorm policy and how the toilets tend to clog.
Actually, I wasn’t paying much attention to what he was saying.
And so it hit me like a ton of bricks when he asked me, “Are you doing anything tonight?”
I think my throat hit the floor when he said it.
Was he asking me out? Like, on a date ? My cheeks went flush—I forgot how to breathe.
“Because I’m supposed to tell girls in the West building about joining Triple Pi.” Oh , I guess not. I exhaled a long disappointed sigh and he sort of looked at me funny, then continued. “They like to meet freshmen to find out if they’d be a good fit for their sorority.”
I can’t believe I even let myself think for a moment that he was interested in me. I felt like such an idiot.
But then my eyes lit up at what he said next.
“I’ll be there.”
I think my head would have fallen off if I nodded any faster. I made an affirmative squeak that sounded like my lungs had given out. My face was glowing neon red by that point.
“Okay then. Tonight at eight.” His arm came out halfway for a handshake then paused. He studied me for a brief second, then brought the hand back to his side. “Well… see you then.”
Then he turned opposite from me and went on down the hallway. I just stood there, frozen in place for a good minute or two. My knees were all jittery and barely supported my weight. The heat between my legs was slick with desire for Brent. My pussy throbbed and ached with a new kind of passion.
I don’t know what the heck a male would be doing at sorority house, but I sure as hell know that I don’t care. All that matters is that Brent is going to be there.
****** I crane my neck to read the Greek letters above the big white sorority house, whispering them aloud. “Triple Pi.” It sounds exactly like the kind of club I swore I’d never belong to when I went to college.
But none of that matters now, because Brent is inside.
I gather my courage and step along the narrow brick pathway lined on either side with purple poppies. It’s obvious they had the money to pay for a professional landscaper.
My black heels click on the brick tiles leading up to the steps of the porch, and I can’t help feeling self-conscious.
I had on my favorite white blouse and a black skirt that I thought made my ass look pretty hot. Thankfully my hair was cooperative after about an hour of curling and primping, and fell elegantly over my shoulders. I was feeling pretty confident in front of the mirror before I left, but my self-esteem has completely betrayed me at this point.
The truth is I really don’t care so much about making an impression on the sorority girls as I do Brent.
As I approach the double doors of the house, one of the ornate brass handles turns on its own.
The door cracks open and a petite head comes out of it. She’s got pigtails tied with red and white polka dot ribbons and thick-framed glasses. A lot more bookish than I was expecting. Certainly not the fashionista I thought would greet me.
“Oh—it’s you ,” she says, looking me up and down. Her eyes are dismissive, her expression standoffish. She glares at my blouse like I’ve committed some sort of fashion sin. “Come on, Madeline is waiting for you.” Her attention remains fixed on my cleavage as her head retreats back through the crack. I don’t think she looked at my face even once. What a bitch.
She leaves the door cracked so I have to open it the rest of the way to enter.
Immediately I’m hit with a waft of heavy perfume. The air is dense with an intoxicating mix of floral scents worse than my grandmother’s retirement home. It’s enough to make my eyes water.
As I step inside, trying my best not to gag, I notice the boisterous sounds I heard from outside
