The first few days were kind of novel. Not surprisingly, after all, we were dealing with novel coronavirus. I slept in, ate leisurely and caught up on my box sets.
All the things you dream of doing when work beckons every day.
I lived alone, my requirements were relatively simple, and I had stocked up at the market on my way home from work that last day.
It must have been around day three or maybe four that I started to get a little frustrated. There is only so much you can binge on box sets before they become a bur in front of your eyes.
I was missing the daily interaction with my workmates or popping out with friends for a pizza and a glass of wine.
Anyway, I sat myself down and gave myself a stiff talking too. Yes, I was isolated in my apartment for a minimum of fourteen days, but on the upside, I was healthy and showing no symptoms. With luck, I could ride this out and continue with my life in a week or twos time.
The previous few days had been rather grey and windy with squally rainstorms, but that front seemed to have passed, and the day was warmer with some watery rays of sunshine.
A quick chat with Alexa, my new best friend and flatmate, who was also in isolation at her parent's home, perked me up. She assured me that the better weather was here to stay, and indeed the day should become warmer with the afternoon sunshine.
I brewed some coffee, a little weaker than usual, not wanting to burn through my reserves of ground coffee too quickly.
Whilst it dripped, I opened my balcony door and swept off my little eyrie in the sky, yes, all of it. Okay, it's just big enough for a bistro table and two chairs or with a squeeze a sun lounger. When I say sky, I mean four floors up.
The change of scenery and the exposure to the outside world was enough to disperse my melancholy.
I sat sipping my nectar of the gods and read a novel. I discovered that I could watch the foot traffic on the broadway below, and indulged in the pleasures of daydreaming.
I woke the following day feeling calmer mentally, but physically I was a little off. It's hard to describe, I don't mean ill more just out of sorts and mildly stiff.
I fetched my laptop and checked against the current list of symptoms, but I was still clean.
Maybe I just needed to exercise.
I found some online tutorials for a basic exercise routine and decided to give it a go.
Surprising myself, I actually enjoyed it and worked up quite a sweat.
I'm not a huge fan of masturbation, it's kind of the real thing or nothing for me, but showering off my sweat, I found my hand lingering over my mound.
Just tracing the outline of my lips, gently nudging clit hill and enjoying the tingles, it triggered a strong response through my body.
Checking myself out in the bathroom mirror, I liked what I saw. Tall and slim with firm perky breasts, a taught flat stomach and a peachy little ass.
Finally, my eyes settled on my mound or, more accurately, the bushy mass of wiry dark curls that nestled between my thighs.
Until six months ago, I kept myself smooth, silky smooth with a monthly appointment at the waxing salon for my Hollywood special.
The departure from my life of my long-term girlfriend saw me enter a period of self-pity. Rather like a mothballed theatre, my pussy saw the lights go off, and the cobwebs gather.
Maybe it was boredom, or perhaps it was my sense of self rousing itself from its six-month slumber, but I found myself sitting on my bed. A bath towel spread out beneath me as I snipped away at my curls with a pair of nail scissors.
The curls became bristles, and then I rummaged beneath the bathroom sink for my leg waxing strips.
It took a while, but with a few colourful curses and some very watery eyes, I removed everything till I was as smooth as a baby's bum.
Yes, I had given myself a home Hollywood. Being a gymnastics major at Uni definitely helped when I reached those difficult little butt zones.
I massaged in some aloe vera gel and admired my handiwork.
The whole process left me horny, and I mean super horny.
The gel had helped, but I still found myself trying to rub an already very raw area.
I compromised, avoiding my pinker than usual labia and just filling my pussy with two fingers. I wriggled against my canal walls until my juices were flowing hard and then only using the pad of one finger to pressure my clit until I spasmed my release. I mewled with joy and let myself succumb to my pleasure.
After I recovered, I donned jeans and a tee and headed outside to the balcony.
"Hi"
I looked around me for the source of the voice.
"Hi, This way."
I looked across at the neighbouring balcony, and there was a smiling face
"Hi yourself" I replied
"I'm Anna, I saw you out here yesterday, are you self-isolating too."
"Yes, I'm Steph," I replied, standing to see her better.
"How many days in are you?" she laughed before adding, "Any symptoms?"
