The next day of classes took forever. Made even worse by not having to go to work afterwards. Which meant no Khole, and no closure.
Ben thought about texting her, but didn’t want to seem clingy. After all, Khole did just break up with her boyfriend.
At least it was a busy evening. Both Jill and Ben had soccer practice. Unfortunately, Jill was in his last class, making it a little more awkward. Especially when she plopped down in the empty seat beside him.
“Hey.” Jill said as she settled in. “Brandi’s making stir fry if you wanted to drop by after practice. There’s always extra.”
Ben wanted to say no, but the thought of enjoying a delicious meal prepared by two beautiful girls was difficult to resist. Plus, he knew that spending time with them would help take his mind off the lingering thoughts of Khole.
Despite his initial hesitation, Ben found himself smiling and nodding in response to Jill’s invitation. “Sure, that sounds great,” he replied, trying to hide his excitement. “I could use some good company and a hot meal tonight.”
Soccer practice offered a much-needed respite for Ben’s restless mind. Physical exertion provided a much needed distraction. At least for a few hours.
Sure enough, by the end of practice, the satisfying feeling of a hard earned sweat had taken precedence, as Ben relished the satisfying ache that came from a good workout. He wiped the beads of sweat off his forehead, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. The hard workout had washed away the mental clutter, leaving him with a sense of clarity and focus.
As his stomach grumbled loudly, Ben’s thoughts shifted to his hunger, momentarily pushing aside any thoughts of Khole or any other worries. He was grateful that he was still close enough to Jill and that she still invited him over, despite her blossoming relationship with her roommate overshadowing their waning romance.
After a brief walk across campus, Ben arrived at Jill’s apartment. Even though Ben still had a key, he thought it polite to knock. Brandi almost immediately opened the door. “Hey good timing, dinners almost ready.” Brandi smiled, showing off her flirty dimples. Not only was Brandi Jill’s roommate and newly minted lover, but she was Jill’s teammate, and her tight toned body showed it. Her tiny yoga shorts and struggling tank top that was a bit too small didn’t hurt either.
Brandi leaned in and gave him a warm hug and a tender kiss on the cheek. Lately, she had been exceptionally friendly towards Ben, her warmth and affection towards him magnified. It was a surprising outcome, considering the role she played in seducing him under Jill’s direction. But that’s another story. Maybe she felt like she owed him?
“You stink.” Brandi giggled as she loudly sniffed Ben’s neck, before playfully pushing him away.
Jill stepped into the hall, wearing nothing but cute boy shorts and a nearly sheer cami, showing off her firm braless tits. It seemed like she was becoming more and more of a tease. “You better hurry and wash up while the waters are still warm.” Jill giggled.
Ben hurried and jumped into the shower, letting the refreshing cool water soothe his tired muscles. Despite his fatigue, Ben couldn’t stop picturing Jill’s tight little body she had just teased him with. Remembering what happened the last time he was in her shower didn’t help. Ben’s cock twitched, and he realized he was already rock hard. Ben looked out of the shower curtain to check if Jill was on her way to greet him in the shower. He focused hard, but could only hear the faint giggles of the girls echoing from the kitchen.
He felt a ping of disappointment as he quickly finished his shower, trying to shake off the distracting thoughts and regain his composure.
As Ben stepped out of the shower, Jill greeted him. “Finally done?” she said with a playful smirk. “Were you jerking off in there or something?”
Ben could only roll his eyes. His thoughts lingered on Khole, as he pondered exactly what he was still doing in Jill’s apartment. He just couldn’t convince himself that Khole was really interested in him.
“Dinner won’t wait forever.” Brandi added the steaming bowl of stir-fry to the coffee table in front of the TV, while Jill dug out the silverware.
The three of them gathered around the couch, enjoying a delicious meal and engaging in light-hearted conversation. Ben couldn’t help but notice the subtle glances and touches exchanged between Jill and Brandi. The atmosphere crackled with tension, so thick that Ben couldn’t help but feel a little left out, forcing his thoughts to drift back to Khole.
After dinner, the trio moved to the living room, settling in on the couch. As they flipped on the TV, Jill and Brandi sat close together, their bodies intertwined, their affection for each other obvious. Ben couldn’t help but stare in envy.
Suddenly, Ben’s phone vibrated. As Ben glanced at his phone, his heart skipped a beat. It was a text from Khole;
Ugh
Crystals staying at her boyfriends.
You mind coming over for a little? It's weird to be there by myself.
Ben felt a wave of relief wash over him when he heard from Khole. His giddy smile caught the attention of the girls.
“Ohhh… someone's happy.” Brandi said with a playful giggle.
“Must be a booty call!” Jill teased, causing Ben to blush a little as he stammered to answer the girls taunting. “You go get um stud!”
“Go pound that pussy!”
Ben didn’t need motivation, but the girl’s encouragement didn’t hurt. Ben grabbed his shoes and was out the door in a flash.
“I hope she’s cute.” Jill giggled to Brandi as he left the apartment.
Jill’s place was located just under a mile away from campus. Ben, feeling exhilarated, decided to walk the short distance to campus, almost feeling as if he could fly there.
When Khole opened the door, Ben had to remind himself to blink. She seemed prettier every time he saw her. Even though she was only wearing a little tied off button down and short denim shorts, showing off her youthful legs.
Khole greeted him with her typical infectious smile, “Hey.” Ben felt like he was going to melt. “Thanks for coming,” she said. Her words laced with gratitude, as she pulled Ben into a warm embrace. Her touch was tender and affectionate, far different from the casual side hugs they used to share. The embrace lingered, their bodies intertwined, before Khole reluctantly let go, her hand still clasping his as she led him into the apartment like a lost puppy.
“Are you ok?” Ben asked. Khole’s sad state waking him from his trance.
Khole took a moment to compose herself before continuing. “It’s just a little overwhelming, you know?” she replied, her voice quivering. She reached for a tissue, delicately dabbing away a single tear threatening to escape her bright blue eyes. “My boyfriend was always a dickhead, but I was kind of afraid to break up with him. You know, I didn’t know where I was gonna live or what I was gonna do… You know, my families a bunch of out of town assholes…” Khole was visibly shaken and had to stop talking to keep herself from crying. Ben mercifully stepped in.
