We met in college through my girlfriend at the time. You were cute, and I was excited to see you around our dorm as you always had a smile on your face. For the first couple months, I saw you as a friend, until the late night conversations began. To further fan the flames, we both occasionally worked the night shift where I would find myself staying up on nights that I didn’t have to work just to talk with you. You had become a secret interest of mine.
The conversations continued back and forth for weeks, hidden from those around us. To that point, all we ever had was just that, conversations. But that was about to change. On a Friday night with mutual friends, I found myself in your presence. We were drinking some of the worst beer I’ve ever had; it tasted just like the aluminum can it was housed in. Half-way through the case, everyone started to get hungry and I volunteered to go pick up some food. When I arrived back, I knew I had missed something because the door was locked and “B” wouldn’t let me in right away. I casually asked what I had missed and was told “nothing”. I didn’t find out until later that you decided to take off your top while I was away.
The drinking continued to the point where the cardboard box used to store the beer turned into my outfit. How I managed to squeeze into it is beyond me, but it served as a good laugh for those that were still awake that night. In the late hours of the morning, things started to peter off. People were falling asleep and returning to their own rooms. You had left and I was helping pick up the cans scattered about. I noticed you had left your shot glass behind. I saw this as my opportunity. I walked down the hallway in only my boxers, and quietly knocked on your door. You opened it just a crack, asked what I wanted, and I told you I was returning your glass. You had your body positioned in a way that only your face was showing, but smiled and invited me in.
I stepped in quickly as not to be spotted in the hallway. It was only then I realized you were nearly naked. I quickly sat in your roommate’s chair, and I could feel my cock begin to throb. My heart was racing; I thought to myself “I can’t believe I’m doing this”. The room was dark, with only the stray light from the street lights highlighting the walls. You looked magnificent. Your breasts were perky, with puffy pink nipples. You had on lace panties that hugged your ass. I still couldn’t believe I was in your room, with my girlfriend just down the hall.
We talked. You pried. You asked me what we should do. I was paralyzed in thought, “can I really go through with this”? The look you gave me stunned, it was mesmerizing. It practically begged for the response you wanted. My cock was now rock hard, but I just couldn’t do it. I told you we should just talk, and that is what we did. For the next four hours, we lay half-naked on your bedroom floor bantering back and forth about who-knows-what. I remember falling asleep for about thirty minutes and then heading back to my room to shower. While walking back I passed another guy on our floor, wearing only my boxers, and he acknowledged me with a head nod and a smirk. He thought it was the walk of shame, but little did he know I couldn’t pull the trigger.
That night would haunt me for years to come. I would always think back and say to myself “what if?”. I was convinced that I would have at least done SOMETHING if presented the opportunity again.
Fast forward a couple of years and our online chatting would commence again. It was riddled with sharing secrets and sexual chat. You would tell me about your recent sexcapades and I would always push for more. I loved it, it made me hard, and also made me think back to the night that could have been. By this time I was married, but you didn’t seem to mind. You continued to entertain my need to occasionally catch up after months had gone by.
I messaged you ever so often to see how you were doing, hear about your life’s adventures, and to live vicariously through your seemingly carefree lifestyle. I especially loved it when you would send pictures. I was reading you, trying to understand what I had missed out on years earlier. I began to share more about myself, things only my wife knew about, and sometimes things she didn’t know. It was great, and I always looked forward to seeing a notification that you had responded.
We half-heartedly joked that maybe we would run into each other sometime while I was traveling. I wanted this to happen so badly, but it never worked out until recently.
I was set to visit the city you currently live in. I told you that I would be in town and you responded with “I’d really like to meet up with you, if that’s something you’d be okay with”. I know you were being polite, offering me an “out”. It was more than okay with me, and it was the one thing I was looking forward to more than anything on that trip.
Once I was finally in town, we messaged back and forth deciding on a place and time to meet. I got a ride and waited patiently on a side street. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted you, smiled, and we exchanged a hug. We spent the night walking around town, you pointing out different landmarks while we caught up on our lives over that past couple of years. We stopped at a bar for a beer and some chips, and the conversation continued. I was so nervous I couldn’t eat, but I don’t think you noticed. I began to share secrets that I didn’t think I would ever tell anyone, the deepest of secrets that I held. You countered with similar secrets; however, I wasn’t quite as surprised as you had always been so open.
We finished up and went for a walk on the pier. The waves crashed and we watched airplanes land and take-off in the distance. We continued to wander around the coolest of places late into the morning. Staring into houses we could never afford, lit up but with no life inside.
