Chapter Eleven

2016

Daphne couldn't bring herself to return to Coolsville for Christmas and to celebrate New Year's Eve. She just stayed in Chicago, and it was one the best and worst decisions she could have made. It was the best decision as she wanted to avoid her parents. But it was the worst decision as Daphne missed Fred and needed him badly. Fred had called her to wish her a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, but it wasn't the same. All Daphne could do was to continue to live her life and concentrate on her studies. A new relationship was the last thing on Daphne's mind as she walked through the campus when she heard a voice she didn't recognise.

"Excuse me," the voice said.

Daphne turned around, surprised to see a handsome man a year older than her with light brown hair and green eyes. He was a foot taller than her as well. The man was captivated by Daphne's appearance, but he didn't want her to know that, as he didn't want to come off as a creep.

"I'm new here, and I just transferred from New York City," the man said. "I'm really lost, and I can't find my map. Can you help me out?"

Daphne could barely say anything at first as she hadn't met anyone who had taken her breath away for a long time since Fred.

"Uh, sure," Daphne said, trying to sound confident. "What are you looking for?"

"I'm a photography major," the man said.

Daphne could hardly believe it.

"So am I!" she said excitedly.

The man smiled broadly as he thought her smile was beautiful.

"I'm John, by the way," John said.

"I'm Daphne," she replied.

John extended his right hand, and Daphne gladly shook it. Then she began to lead him to the building he needed to find. As they talked, Daphne was convinced she had met someone special, but she would take things slowly. John felt the same way and couldn't wait to get to know Daphne better.

On the surface, Fred enjoyed his time at college in Los Angeles but couldn't deny being lonely. He missed Daphne and needed to see her, but Daphne had made it clear that she wasn't prepared to return to Coolsville. Fred needed to meet someone new, and that day proved to be the exception. Fred was studying to be a lab technician for a career and found it challenging. His last lab partner quit the course, and his professor walked behind him.

"Fred, meet your new lab partner," Professor Jackson said.

Fred turned around to see his new lab partner, and he was captivated without question.

Carolyn was a foot shorter than Fred, and she had blonde hair and the bluest eyes he had ever seen. He couldn't talk. She was so beautiful to him.

"This is Carolyn," Professor Jackson said. "I hope you work well together,"

Fred was speechless, and Carolyn could see it.

"I hope so, too," Carolyn said breathlessly.

Carolyn was captivated by Fred as she thought he was the most handsome man she had seen in a long time.

SIX MONTHS LATER

The months went by very quickly. Daphne and John became a couple very quickly, and they loved how they felt about each other every time they spent together. They were having lunch in a university café. At first, they had sat across from each other, but now they were sitting next to each other. Their hearts were beating fast as they sat so close and held hands tightly.

"How are your assignments going?" Daphne asked breathlessly.

"They're going well," John replied, breathlessly. "How are yours going?"

"Great,"

Daphne couldn't take it anymore, so she kissed him. John kissed her back, and he stroked her hair. Then Daphne broke the kiss.

"Will your roommate be in tonight?" Daphne asked quickly.

"No, he won't be," John said quickly.

That's all Daphne needed to hear.

"Then can I come over tonight?" she asked. "I really need you!"

With his right hand, John reached under the table and put his hand on her right inner thigh. Daphne sighed with excitement at the sensation.

"Oh God!" she whispered.

"Yes, you can come over because I need you, too," John whispered.

Daphne leaned in and kissed him again passionately. John loved the way her tongue was exploring his mouth. His tongue began to explore hers. Neither of them had a care in the world as they just wanted each other at that moment. But there was something that they didn't know. At the far end of the quad, a man took photos of them as Daphne and John kissed and felt each other up. The man loved the photos he was taking, but he seriously doubted that his employer would like them.

Fred loved how things were progressing with Carolyn. They got along on so many levels, especially the physical level. It was precisely what Fred needed since he and Daphne broke up. He still cared about her but needed more than that in life. They were having dinner in a university restaurant, and their table was outside. Carolyn loved the restaurant they were eating in, and they were getting close to finishing their meals, but Carolyn wanted to do more for Fred.

"Did I ever tell you that I used to work here?" Carolyn asked.

"No, you didn't," Fred replied.

Carolyn smiled about what she was about to tell him and what she would do to Fred.

"Well, Valentine's Day was always a crazy night," she explained. "We always got big tips from the men because if the waiters and waitresses scored big tips, then that would always impress the women they were with that night, and the men would ultimately score later,"

Fred smiled as it was evident that the men would score later in bed, but that wasn't what Carolyn meant. Carolyn suspected Fred could be a little naïve regarding what she told him. She looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping on their conversation. To her relief, no one was.

"Have you got a condom on you?" Carolyn whispered.

"Yeah," Fred whispered, unsure what Carolyn was getting at.

The reason Fred was a little unsure was they were in a public place, and he couldn't imagine Carolyn would want to have sex there.

"Hand it over," Carolyn whispered.

"Why?" Fred whispered instantly, regretting the question he had just asked.

Carolyn couldn't believe she was right about Fred's naivety, but she was patient.

"Listen, I'm a safe girl, and there's something I'd like to do for you," Carolyn whispered. "Something I've seen other women do, and I really want to do it for you,"

Fred began to see the bigger picture, and he smiled. Then he took out his wallet, took out the condom and handed it to her. Carolyn opened the condom wrapper.

"Okay," he whispered eagerly.

Carolyn smiled as she pushed her chair back and got under the table. She unzipped his pants and pulled out his hard cock. Then she placed the condom on it. Above the table, Fred loved the sensation of what Carolyn was doing. Under the table, Carolyn began to suck his cock. Fred did everything he could to prevent himself from making noise, but it wasn't easy. From across the courtyard from the restaurant, Fred didn't know that a man had been taking pictures of him with Carolyn. He was bored with the assignment of taking photos of Fred. He would prefer to take pictures of Daphne in Chicago as he thought she was beautiful and sexy, but he could do nothing about it.
