The College Years

Chapter 1: Reunion.

It had been six months since we graduated. Everyone had been so busy in those six months it was almost impossible to get everyone on the phone together or to get everyone together in general.

Sapphie and Nora dropped by almost every weekend throughout the semester and would hang out with Goku and me when we weren't working or immersed in school work. Goku and I now worked part-time for every season, not just the summer. I mostly waited tables and cleaned while Goku washed the kitchen and dishes . . . especially after the problem . . . but I'll get to that in a moment.

Since Sapphie and Kari were now somewhere else full time, they had no time to work. This is why as summer started coming to an end, Sapphie convinced our short, chubby Texan manager to take Goku on part-time in place of her for when she became a full-time student. It took a lot of arguing but it finally worked and Goku was taken on part-time with me.

Goku was a hard worker . . . he just . . . wasn't too bright sometimes. Since he had normally been busy with sports over the summers, it had been Goku's very first summer job, or job in general. Sapphie and I trained him to our best ability, but he was very hard to manage when surrounded by food.

At first he was placed in charge of cooking and preparing pizzas but that stopped very fast. Customers started complaining about missing slices out of their pizzas. It would explain why he wasn't hungry when he came home for dinner. He took a slice out of EVERY pizza. I noticed the first time he did it and scolded him to make him stop . . . but that's when he just started doing it to take out orders and delivery orders.

The manager wanted to fire him directly after this but because Sapphie and I put our jobs on the line for him, he was kept as staff and swiftly improved at his job. So, now that Sapphie is gone, Goku and I wait tables and clean up the place amongst a few other workers but not many. Most of them were part time students as well and then there were a few who worked full time. Either way, Goku and I put in a lot of overtime in order to get as much money as possible.

On this particular night, it was Friday night in December; a week before Christmas Eve. Goku and I were closing up the restaurant, cleaning all that was messy. We also cooked a few more pizzas before we left (paying of course), so we could have a Friday night date of sorts.

I stood at the door, waiting, leaning against the wall and felt the cold air seep through the cracks of the door and the freezing cold based on how cold the brick wall was. Goku was cleaning up the cutter blades and putting them away. I leaned my head against the wall as my tiredness began to take over. It had been a long day and I needed sleep, desperately. Hugging myself in a futile attempt to keep warm, I dozed off.

A few moments later, or so it seemed, I felt warmth around me as I woke up. I smelled Goku's scent and his stench from where he had worked all day and I was wrapped in his coat with the pizza boxes on top of me.

He was running, causing me to bounce in his arms and that's when I noticed the snow falling down in bucket loads.

"GOKU!" I yelled, growling angrily.

Goku shouted in shock and nearly dropped me, stopping dead in his tracks looking down at me.

"What, What is it?" He asked frantically.

I growled harder. "Goku Son, get this extra coat off of me RIGHT NOW mister! You'll be sick! Are you crazy? I appreciate your chivalry but it is freezing!"

He laughed setting me down in the snow, slipping his coat off of me and when he had it back on he took the pizzas from me, held them in one hand and held me close to him with his other arm as we began the long walk back to the house.

The wind whipped our cheeks leaving nothing but red in its place. We both shivered and began running as fast as we could. I could have sworn that with each step the snow was getting deeper and deeper.

We finally reached the house and by that time the snow was nearly to my ankles. I quickly pushed my key into the lock and opened the door as we entered the freezing cold house. It felt just as cold inside as it did outside. The power was definitely out.

I groaned as I flopped on the couch, sliding my work shoes and socks off. Goku managed to slowly make his way to the pitch black kitchen and sat our dinner down. When I heard a match strike and saw that two candles were lit and saw them move into the dining room I entered the dining room and sat near Goku. He served me sparkling water and two huge slabs of pizza. As I picked at them, he began to demolish an entire pizza.

Eventually I finished a slice so as he was finishing his dinner, I took one of the candles and made my way upstairs and took a cold shower since there was no hot water. I dressed in my baggy, comfy pajamas before entering my new bedroom and sitting on the bed, brushing my hair.

Goku and Nora had the master bedroom of the house. Sapphie and Kari had the second biggest then Miku and I had our own rooms that were of average size. Since everyone had gone off for military training and to college, Goku and I got comfortable enough with each other to share a bed, not to mention my mattress was becoming extremely comfy and his bed frame was falling apart. It was a cheap mattress and it wasn't the most comfortable thing in the world to sleep on but we put a foam cover under the sheets to make it comfortable. When Nora and Sapphie were home however, we took turns using the bed. Sapphie and I would share it and so would Nora and Goku.

Usually, if a couple began sleeping in the same bed together it meant that they have engaged in sexual intercourse. This was not the case with Goku and me. We had only gone as far as seeing each other naked. He always had condoms but I didn't want to have sex yet. Anytime we would start it would burn out with a make out session.

Just as I finished brushing out my hair, I heard Goku march up the stairs and start a shower. I lied down upon the cold sheets, rubbing my bare feet against their smooth texture. I eased the quilt up over myself and relaxed my body, beginning to drift into sleep.

By the time I was half asleep, Goku woke me up by getting into the bed and spreading extra blankets over us. I groaned slightly, still shivering from the freezing cold that swept through the house as the wind continued to whip and crack.

He pulled me close to him kissing me, rubbing my shoulders and kissing me with a clean shaven mouth. His hands slowly eased down my back and my sides and I smiled gently I felt his hot breath on my neck and my ears.

"We didn't get much of a date this evening . . ." he whispered, softly.

He began to kiss on my neck as I kept blushing but shivered. He was seducing me . . . and it was working although I was exhausted. His large hand began to graze down my pajama pants and touched my panty line causing me to quiver and melt in his touch. I sat up suddenly and looked over him, deciding tonight was going to be the night. I wanted to make love to the man I loved more than anyone.

I sat up on my knees and Goku stared up at me, looking surprised and confused but sat up to grab me by the waist. I straddled him and pinned his chest down, kissing him deeply. I could see his face outlined in the darkness and he was biting his lip, nervously. He held me by my waist and stared up at me in disbelief.

"Goku . . ." I whispered. "I want you . . . so bad . . . I'm ready for this . . . for you. Please . . ."

He rolled over pinning me down and kissing me aggressively. He was pulling off my pajamas and I tugged at the waistband of his boxers; his hips bucking in response. He started kissing me slowly, thickly, his tongue encasing mine in a lock as his large warm rough hands caressed my body and made their way across my breasts to my ribs, my hips and finally to my panties. He tugged at the waistband on my panties and looked me dead in the eye, even in the darkness.

"Alice . . . are you sure?" Goku whispered, giving me one last chance to decline.

I nodded. "Yes Goku . . . I'm sure . . . please . . ."

He slowly tug my panties off, caressing my thighs gently, making a soft moan escape my lips as my body shivered and tingled in response. I breathed in and out excitedly but slowly trying to stay quiet.

He climbed out of bed for a moment and went to his nightstand, opening it and pulling out a condom and opening it up, turning away to put it on. I still lied in bed, shifting as the tingles raged through my body. He crawled back into bed, his huge form over top of me, in between my legs, kissing me as passionately as he could muster. I felt his hard manhood pressing against my opening and me. I moaned softly again into his kiss and thrusts my hips up, ready to get the first penetration over with . . . then the most embarrassing thing happened.

The door flew open and Nora fell in as Sapphie stood behind him, holding her cheap cell phone using it as a light source, her face twisted in a shocked and slightly freaked out expression. I squealed in pure terror, pulling the quilt over our naked forms, causing Goku to flip off of the bed and land on the floor with a loud thud.

Nora stood up laughing harder than I had ever seen him laugh before and I growled feeling as if I would faint any moment.

"I knew you two were fucking each other!" Nora exclaimed, jumping up and don where he stood.

"Get out! GET OUT RIGHT NOW! You should have knocked! GET OUT!" I screamed over and over until finally he exited the room and I heard him head downstairs.

I went over to Goku and helped him off the floor and we put our clothes back on. We didn't look at each other's embarrassed faces and finally he took my hand when we headed downstairs. Nora and Sapphie sat at the dining room table with a few lit candles and we sat near them as it began to grow awkward. I took a candle and went into the kitchen and poured everyone a glass of milk and served everyone.

"So . . . be honest . . . do you guys-" Nora began but stopped when Goku punched him.

Goku held my hand under the table, squeezing it for support.

"So you two just sleep together?" Nora questioned again wiggling his eyebrows up and down.

"Yes Nora . . . you know we do . . ." I growled in response.

"Um . . . then what was that? . . ." Sapphie asked subtly looking down awkwardly.

I stayed silent for a few moments and sighed. "None of your business . . ."

"HA! I KNEW IT! YOU WERE ABOUT TO HAVE SEX!" Nora shouted.

"So what if we were? I know you and Kari have had plenty of action before she left." I rattled off to him, causing his face to flush extremely deep crimson.

Goku finally spoke again. "Maybe we should just all go to bed. Miku and Kari are supposed to be here tomorrow and we're going tree hunting, remember?"

"Yeah you're right, night everyone! I'll sleep on the couch!" Nora shouted, slamming his milk and going to the couch, lying down.

Without another word, Goku kissed me then Sapphie and I headed upstairs and took the double bed that I almost had my first sexual encounter in. There was an awkward silence between us as we eased into bed and she finally said it.

"So . . . have you two ever really? . . ." She asked.

"No . . . we haven't . . . but it felt so right tonight . . . but I guess it was wrong." I began to laugh and curled up in the blankets.

Sapphie laughed a little too. "I can't wait to see Miku again tomorrow . . . I'm so excited I don't think I can sleep."

By then, I was already half asleep and fell into a deep slumber.

The next day I woke up and I sat up quickly and hit my head on something really hard, causing me to squeal and rub my head. Goku was calling my name out but it sounded fuzzy now that I hit my head. I fell against the floor then realized I was under the bed. Goku grabbed my hand, pulling me out from under the bed.

"There you are! We were looking all over for you! We wondered where you went! It's almost time to go get Miku and Kari!" Goku explained.

I leaned my throbbing head with a growing knot on his chest and he hugged me and handed me my outfit I had laid out and left me to get changed. I changed into the clothes and the next thing I knew we were standing in the thick snow waiting for Miku and Kari to be dropped off.

Sapphie's eyes were kept solely in place as she waited for the bus to pull up. Nora paced a lot and Goku and I stood locked together in place, waiting. Finally, through the thick winter fog a large bus pulled up and stopped letting Kari and Miku off who were both much more in shape and their hair looked different. Sapphie ran up to Miku and hugged him as the bus pulled away and Nora hugged Kari tight as well, but she pushed him into the snow, laughing, helping him back up and kissing him.

I saluted them and hugged them. They were dressed in their uniforms and Miku gave me a noogie. Just like old times, we were all together to celebrate the holidays. As that one song says, we were reunited and it felt so good.
