Corbin: The College Years, part 10
By Corbin, nex_xus@hotmail.com
How life
tests the endurance, patience, and sometimes faith of one young woman.
Pre-Story Introduction/Ranting/Venting/Rambling…
No angst to
vent today as I send this off to Diana’s web site, I woke up this morning and
the weather is turning wonderfully warm. I look forward to heading off to the
gym later today :) and a long summer ahead.
I had
someone inquire as to “…why I chose to post this story at Diana’s web site?”
It’s a good question really and there was more too it then the simple one line
I repeated above, but essentially that was the heart of it.
The
answer for me has nothing to do with muscles or women beating men…or women
beating women...or women suddenly growing …anyway I could go on…. The reason
was that as I began writing all of this out, I found that there was a bond, a
strength in the relationship that I have with my girls and they with me. We may
bicker…argue…fight…but at the end of the day we still love each other and give
each other strength. There is, if you will, a secret society within groups of
women that men cannot fathom; I hope if nothing else to convey the
heart…pain…love…and close bond I share with these amazing women. If along the
way you women and men enjoy reading about the occasional mention of
muscles…conflict…and maybe even a little sex…then good, and just maybe you’ll
get some further insight into a few other things. I think there is a fit at
this web site for this story which reflects on women ‘strong of heart and
spirit’ as much as any story posted dealing with ‘strong muscles’.
Part 10
Practice
was typically exhausting and while most people were up and just starting to
party their assess off at ten or eleven o’clock at night, Corbin was turning
her light off and that Thursday night was no different as she routinely went to
bed around ten or eleven.
‘Damn’
she blinked as she heard the door knob unlock, rolling over she looked at the
clock, “1:35am” and rolled back over in frustration. ‘Damn
”What in the…” Corbin jerked her head up to see
“Scoot
over” The brunette drunkenly slurred as she crawled over the bed, decked out in
her nightshirt.
“You’ve
been drinking, haven’t you?” Corbin moaned and scooted over as
“Just a
little….OH! Your body puts off so much heat!”
“That
Nikki girl Sharon? What kind of statement is that” Corbin sighed.
“Don’t get
defensive, I didn’t mean anything by it”
“Yes,
we’re hanging out and doing stuff, ever since I started with Soccer”.
“How’s
that going?”
“Good, so
far” Corbin quietly sighed.
“I know
it’s late, I’ll shut up and let you get some sleep”
“It’s
okay
“Hey,
don’t get fresh” Sharon teased.
“You
wish” Corbin mumbled.
“Pervert”
Sharon quipped right back.
“Freak”
Corbin snapped back and pushed her elbow into Sharon’s ribs gently.
“Don’t
start something you can’t finish” Sharon grabbed Corbin’s prodding elbow.
“Tough
talk for a wimpy cheerleader” Corbin jerked her left elbow sharply, freeing it
from Sharon’s grasp.
“OW!”
Sharon suddenly belched and Corbin felt her friend curl up.
“Sharon?
You ok? I’m sorry” Corbin spun around in the bed, “I was only teasing” she
moved the covers back to see Sharon clutching her ribs. “I’m such a clumsy idiot.
I’m sorry” Corbin flipped her hair back and went to sit up, “Let me turn the
light on” and she reached for the bedside lamp. Her fingers touched the knob
and she was about to give the switch a click when suddenly an involuntary groan
came from her mouth as a pair of thighs clamped around her waist. Corbin tried
to feel her way around in the dark and twisted her torso, quickly feeling
Sharon’s legs clamped even tighter. With her back turned, Corbin felt an arm
flung around her neck as Sharon pulled her back down to the bed.
“What?
What you saying about some wimpy cheerleader?” Sharon whispered into Corbin’s
ear as she flexed her thighs causing the blonde to grunt.
“But I
thought…” Corbin gasped.
“SUCKER!”
Sharon smiled and kissed Corbin’s left ear. But Sharon knew better then to let
up now and flexed her jaw as her legs trembled with effort, if she didn’t get
Corbin to cry ‘uncle’ in the first few minutes then it would be an uphill
battle for her.
“Fuck
Sharon, not so hard” Corbin whined as her legs kicked and thrashed on the bed,
agonizingly she struggled first by grabbing Sharon’s forearm and out muscling
her friend, forcing Sharon’s arm from around her neck. Slowly she began to
twist her body, her abs flexing to keep Sharon’s incredible thighs from
crushing all of the air from her lungs.
“Not so
hard Sharon” Sharon mocked as she strained, “Now give up” she demanded while
struggling to keep Corbin from turning around.
“Okay
fine, it’s going to be like that” Corbin moaned getting irritated at Sharon’s
mocking and went about trying to secure Sharon’s wrists, but the brunette was
tucking them in close to her chest and was pretty strong. Corbin hated this,
her nightshirt had ridden way up and as she drew her knees up, forcing her butt
to stick way up in the air. With her right hand, Corbin reached behind her and
found Sharon’s left foot, giving it a twist to break Sharon’s ankle lock.
“Ouch…ouch…ouch!”
Sharon snapped as her left foot was wrenched from around her right ankle.
“Cry
baby” Corbin sighed.
Sharon
gave up the scissor hold; it was only a matter of time any way and jerked her
legs back trying to kick her way out from under Corbin and both girls’s thrashed back and forth as Corbin fought to keep
from getting nailed by Sharon’s flailing feet and knees. “No way bitch” Sharon
seethed as she struggled, but it was a struggle that seemed to be turning into
a mostly defensive battle as she was constantly yanking her hands and legs
free, expending nothing but valuable energy. While she had finally wiggled her
way onto her right side, Corbin kept throwing her right leg up and over
Sharon’s waist trying to get back on top of her. The short battle had taken
allot out of both girls, each gasping for air although Corbin seemed to be a
little less tired. Their bodies bathed in sheen of perspiration as their
movements become slow and more calculating in an effort to conserve energy.
Corbin didn’t know why Sharon enjoyed these little impromptu fights, she could
never quite figure it out, but every so often she would prod Corbin into a
wrestling match which Sharon always lost if Corbin wasn’t in the mood to ‘go
easy’. But Sharon hated to loose…at anything, and would fight as underhanded as
she could to win.
With a
hard slap of their sweat drenched bellies, Corbin finally pinned her friend to
the mattress, forcing Sharon’s arms over her head as she grapevined
her legs, the sweat making it easy to hook her feet around Sharon’s calves.
“Fuck”
Sharon gasped. Secretly, and this is something that she would never reveal, she
got a thrill out of fighting with Corbin…yes some kind of sexual charge from it
as she lay there, trapped under the blonde’s body and what a body it was with
her long muscular legs and arms. Sharon loved watching them in action and even
more so loved feeling them working against her own muscles. Yet that was the
extent of it, Sharon had no reservation she was heterosexual and liked boys.
“Do you
give to me?” Corbin smiled as she lowered her face close to Sharon. While
Sharon’s antics initially annoyed the hell out of Corbin, she did get a thrill
out of making the brunette suffer for her games.
“One of
these days my tough friend, I’m going to turn the tables on you” Sharon
sneered.
“Until
then…tell me” Corbin flexed her hands around Sharon’s wrists.
“I
surrender, you win” Sharon sighed.
“Good”
Corbin said as she relaxed, her entire body going limp as she collapsed on top
of Sharon. Slowly as her body went totally lax, Corbin stretched out her legs
to ease some cramping in the back of her thighs. In a moment of spontaneous
affection, Sharon drew her knees up and wrapped her legs around Corbin’s waist
as her arms came up and hugged her blonde friend as if embracing a lover.
“I love
you Corbin, you’re my best friend” Sharon sighed as she pulled tight, feeling
their sweat drenched bodies cling to one another.
”I love you too” Corbin moaned into Sharon’s neck. But things were not so
wonderful; she was torn by the fact that deep down inside she was in hell over
the suspicion that her two best friends in her life couldn’t stand one another.
For another minute Corbin laid their, until she realized a few uncomfortable
things…the way their shirts had ridden up so high that their breasts were
almost hanging out and most embarrassingly, the way their panty covered mounds
pressed against one another, the heat from Sharon’s crotch seemed to radiate
out and pass thru into her own.
As if in
some unspoken initiative, both untangled themselves from one another and rolled
apart, breaking their embrace, each lying their looking up at the ceiling
hoping the confusing moment would simply pass…and it did. Corbin chuckled and
pulled the sheet back up over her body.
“What’s
so funny?” Sharon rolled her head over to the right and smiled.
“I don’t
know, just…just how silly we can be” Corbin shrugged.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The past
couple of weeks had been a dramatic change in Corbin’s life, in fact she felt
as though her entire life up until now, was unable to compare with the
emotional growth and changes she was going thru.
Physically,
Corbin felt like she was pushing the boundaries of acceptable behavior by being
so affectionate with both Nikki and Sharon…Nikki’s affection was
intense…purposeful…even dangerous, while Sharon on the other hand didn’t seem
to take any of it too serious and that was a relief.
‘Yet was
such behavior between two friends of the same sex okay?’ Corbin had started to
wonder, ‘Thank god I haven’t developed the urge to kiss any of them’ while the
thought of actually having sex with her friends was unthinkable. Her romantic
fantasy’s were still dominated by a male presence…although she was miserable in
that department as well, she couldn’t understand how she could be on the
receiving end of so many dopey comments, which left her wondering if there was
an intelligent man to be found. ‘Such a silly question’ she considered as many
of her male professors, her father, and many men she had come across over the
years were highly intelligent and spoke intelligently…and they spoke to her
intelligently…
‘And then
the pendulum swings in the opposite direction when guys hit on me, trying to
talk about nothing put technical…politics…or just be too intellectual…instead
of just being themselves. I guess it’s true about what people say; a man’s
brain shuts off when confronted with a pretty girl’ But Corbin shook her head
at that notion, ‘Sounds stupid’ she never thought of herself as pretty…or
attractive…or beautiful…regardless of what her friends told her or however many
guys hit on her.
Looking down
at her watch, Corbin was suddenly startled to see the time was getting away
from her, she had a date tonight…the ‘blind’ date that Sharon had setup.
“Fuck!”
Corbin cursed out loud as she sprinted up the stairs to her dorm room….”I’m
late…I’m late…for a very important date!” she mumbled under breath with a
smile…unable to remember where she had heard that catchy phrase from before.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Sharon
should be over in a little while” Kevin got up and paced the room a bit more, a
smattering of guys watched him with envy. He was the Fraternity President and
was dating one of the hottest girls on Campus, much to the dismay of his recent
ex-girlfriend. An ‘ex’ who had tried to launch an unsuccessful campaign to
discredit Sharon, but that wasn’t the big news for the evening, it was Kevin’s
Frat brother Will who was on the hook tonight, he was the one going on the
‘blind date’ with Corbin.
“I can’t
fucking believe it, you two have got to be the luckiest bastards in this
school, and you!” he pointed to Will, “How did you manage that score? A date
with Ms. Untouchable…Ms. Attitude…whatever you want to call her problem”
“Untouchable
is right, I bet you try and lay a hand on her she’ll break you over her knee”
Another guy piped up laughing.
“Sounds
good to me” Will said nervously, sparking scattered laughter. Kevin froze as he
saw Sharon walking up the sidewalk and quickly went to the front door.
“There he
goes, like some love struck puppy dog” a guy mumbled as Kevin bolted for the
front door.
Sharon
followed Kevin into the main area of the house;
“What’s
up guys” She said while pulling the sunglasses from her eyes. Sharon radiated
charisma and everyone perked up, well almost, there were always the ‘slackers’
as she like to refer to them, that barely responded or tried to act ‘too cool’
to show good manners while attempting to make lame jokes.
“So?”
Will sat forward anxiously.
“What?”
Sharon acted dumb.
“You
know!” Will nervously smiled.
“No I
don’t know” Sharon kept staring seriously at him, as he stared blankly at the
sitting guy.
“About
tonight?” Will seemed to be getting flustered until Sharon finally smiled, to
which a number of guys laughed at Will’s expense, obviously she was making him
sweat it out a bit.
“Jesus Sharon”
Will flopped back on the couch running his hands thru his hair, “Don’t do that”
“God
Will!” Sharon laughed and put her arm around the back of Kevin, “Your about to
have a heart attack, aren’t you?”
“I hope
he does” A guy got up and walked towards the Kitchen, “That way I can get next
in line”
“You’re
damn right I’m going to have a heart attack, I’ve never even spoken to her
before, what if she hates me or something” He laughs at his own expense while
glancing around.
“Will,
chill out” Sharon waves her right hand in the air, “Everything is going to be
fine, this is all going to be casual. In fact, let me talk to you two guys
outside for a second pulling Kevin along” Will looked around and cautiously got
up to follow.
“You sure
you ready for this?” Another frat brother looked up from the corner chair while
flipping channels on the remote, to which Will shrugged without replying.
Sharon
stopped in front of Kevin and Will, waiting for Will to shut the front door,
“Okay, let me lay down the ground rules” Sharon said.
“Rules?”
Kevin asked in shock, “Yeah, what rules Sharon?” Will asked hesitantly.
“Hey, you
want to back out well now is your chance!” She quickly emphasized.
“No, but
I think you making this into a bigger deal then it is” Will said to which Kevin
nodded.
“You’re
damn right I am” Sharon’s eyebrows knotted up angrily, “Because I’m sticking my
neck on the line for you. You’ve been bugging the shit out of me for weeks and
now she’s agreed, so you want this? HUH?” Sharon stepped up challenging him.
“Yes!” he
said defensively, leaning back a little.
“Corbin
can be very direct…” Sharon went on, her voice a bit calmer.
“You’re
kidding?” Kevin blurted out with sarcasm, based on the way he had seen her
carry herself.
“…no, I’m
not kidding at all, she’s not big on Social graces. So, no pressures and I
would recommend going very, very slow, understand?” Sharon placed her
sunglasses back on.
“Got it”
Will said with a shrug of his shoulders and left it at that.
“Oh, and
good manners, that’s very important to Corbin…”
“Sharon…Sharon,
why are you so tense, and what’s with all the ground rules with Corbin?” Kevin
reached out and gently touched her shoulder.
Sharon
took a deep breath and looked each in the eye before continuing, “Look, maybe
I’m making a bigger deal out of this then I should, it’s just Corbin can be
very ‘abrupt’ in her responses and I don’t want you, Will, to take anything
wrong. She sometimes has a tendency to speak her mind, at the worst possible
moment”
“So she can
be opinionated or maybe outspoken is the better choice of words?” Will shrugged
as if he was just fine with that.
“Okay”
Sharon exhaled and let it go at that, see you guys later and turned away with a
smile. Watching and waiting for Sharon to get into her car, Will shook his head
and gripped, “Dating has got to be easier then this”.
“Your
telling me” Kevin sighed as they turned around to go back into the house.
“So tell
me again, why am putting myself thru this?” Will asked as they went back into
the house.
“Because
Corbin is one of the hottest babes on campus” Kevin responded.
“Oh yeah”
He smiled knowingly.
~~~~~~~
“This
sucks” Will sighed and slumped forward to sip on his beer.
“Chill out,
the night is not over” Kevin tried to shed some light at the end of the tunnel,
but he knew that Will was doing down in flames, and not due to his own hand
either.
“She’s
barely said a word all night, I mean, what’s going on? I’ve laid low this whole
evening, tried to engage her in conversation and put NO moves on her, at all!”
Will felt himself lean over the table a little more with ever word.
“I’ll
talk to Sharon and find out what’s going on” Kevin sighed, “But hey, she looks
pretty fucking hot, huh?” He smiled.
“Oh
yeah…” Will rolled his eyes, “…every look she gives me is like she wants to
stab hot pokers in my skull, that’s real sexy”
Sharon
leaned over the sink and placed the ruby lipstick against her bottom lip, her
eyes darting over to watch Corbin run her fingernails thru her blonde hair,
adjusting it over her shoulders.
“Why the
primping?” Sharon said casually.
“Huh?”
Corbin froze and looked over.
“Why
bother, you’re not having a good time” Sharon twisted the bottom of the tube
and the lipstick disappeared into it’s container as she evenly rubbed her lips
together.
“What?
Who says? I’m having a fine time” Corbin shook her head with dismay at Sharon’s
analysis of her.
“Oh, then
could you do me a favor” Sharon leaned away from the mirror and straightened
her dress a little.
“What’s
that?”
“Could
you share some of that good time with Will, he looks miserable” Sharon dropped
the lipstick into her case and turned to face Corbin. She watched Corbin’s jaw clench
tightly and her head pivot forward, a classic sign of irritation on the
blonde’s part, but Sharon didn’t give a shit.
“I am not
going to throw myself at him or paw all over him” Corbin slowly turned to look
at Sharon, Corbin’s voice low and tense, with a hint of defensiveness.
“I know
you don’t want to be here Corbin, but he’s been nothing but polite to you, so
you could pay a little attention to him. Is that too much to ask? I mean the
poor guy is miserable, just take a look at him when you go back out there!
Whatever you decide to do is fine with me, but do something!” Sharon leaned in
and tugged on Corbin’s left arm.
Taking a
deep breath Corbin rolled her eyes, “Okay, okay…we’ll see” Corbin slipped her
purse over her right shoulder.
“Thanks”
Sharon smiled and gave Corbin a slight hug before turning around to walk out,
“And don’t roll your eyes at me, I hate that” Sharon said as she opened the
door.
“Sorry”
Corbin said, following Sharon out into the bar. The girls navigated past a
series of pool tables that were part of the back of the bar area. Actually, the
entire establishment was nicely segregated into a Bar, Restaurant, and Pool
area. But they were unable to make it back to their seats without several
comments and lingering stares as they walked by the groups of guys playing
pool.
Closing
in on the table Corbin eyed Will closely and she did in fact notice his lack of
an upbeat mood which had been there earlier. Corbin frowned a little, and
realized it was her fault to some degree, she could easily make or break guy
with a few kind words and some kind attention
“Hi Will,
sorry we took so long” Corbin said softly and sat down, he sat up and smiled,
but it was forced, that much was evident to Corbin and she scooted her chair a
little closer to his and then he sat up some more. His darting gaze bespoke of
some confusion as to what that meant, not to mention that one minute he was
ready to verbally trash Corbin upon returning to the Frat house. But now, by
her simply moving her chair closer to him she had caused his mood to lighten,
although he still had not totally shaken the funk off. Corbin smiled across to
Sharon, who smiled back.
“You guys
want to bounce some pool balls around and maybe hit a club?” Kevin looked
around the table.
“Oh yeah,
sounds good” Sharon perked up and looked at Corbin for support.
“Okay”
Corbin smiled and looked at Will who agreed and seemed to perk up a little,
although it was obvious he still was in slight slump. Sharon was up first and
Corbin had moved over to stand next to Will, something that seemed to improve
his mood and when he felt her hand touch his back a shiver went up his spine
causing him to totally lose touch with reality. ‘What the hell?’ he thought,
totally confused by her signals now and looked over to his left, Corbin was
simply staring straight ahead, but even so he smiled a little and took a deep
breath when she began to rub her hand up and down his back. ‘God that feels
good’ he thought as her fingernails gently scratched his back.
“Huh?” He
quickly turned his head to the left, thinking her heard something.
“You’re
up” Corbin said and he blinked.
‘I’m up?’
Will thought, ‘Damn straight I’m up…’ but his mind quickly jolted itself back
to reality…”Oh…oh…it’s my turn…shit” Will suddenly stepped forward shaking his
head at how his mind was totally on his dick right now. Actually he was
thinking about her being on his dick. ‘What the hell’ he thought, he was so out
of it that he didn’t even hear her the first time. For the rest of the evening
Corbin became a little more touchy feeling, allowing him to hold her hand on
occasion, while keeping things a little at arms length. But overall, it kept
his spirits up and he was after all a nice guy Corbin told herself. At the end
of the evening, as he went for a kiss she gave a lingering, but quick peck on
his lips and pulled back, but he immediately went to follow up for more and
Corbin turned her head, offering her right cheek. She smiled and he laughed a
little, getting the hint;
“Would
you like to go out again?” Will asked with a little more confidence then he had
shown all evening.
“Sure,
that could be nice” Corbin smiled and took a step back, signaling the end to
the evening.
“So how
do you think it went?” Sharon asked as they drove home.
“Fine” Corbin
said, but smiled when she saw Sharon grip the steering wheel with frustration,
she knew Sharon was looking for a better answer and continued, “Well, I mean,
Will seems nice you know, I don’t know what he thought of me. I was kind of
quiet most of the evening”.
“Oh, I
don’t think he minded, he couldn’t take his eyes off you, especially when you
more attentive to him later in the night” Sharon looked over.
“Yeah,
that seemed to lift his spirits. Was I still too quiet?” Corbin looked over
with concern.
“No, not
too bad, do you think you want to go out with him again?” Sharon followed up.
“I guess
so, are there any other guys that would want to go out?” Corbin asked.
“What?”
Sharon looked over at Corbin while they sat at the stop light, “You’re joking,
right? I can’t believe your asking that question”
“What do
you mean?” Corbin looked over, not quite following Sharon.
“Fuck
almighty! Do you know how many guys are in line to go out with you!” Sharon was
flabbergasted and slumped back in her seat.
“Really?
I guess so…I don’t know” Corbin sighed with a faint smile and looked out the
window to her right. Sharon was still shaking her head in disbelief.
“So many
to choose from” Corbin looked over and laughed a bit, a big grin showing up on
her lips.
“Oh no,
I’ve created a monster, look out!” Sharon laughed.
“No…no,
no” Corbin quickly muttered and glanced out the window, “I’ve got so much work
to do and with practice and going to the gym, I really need to focus….”
“On
getting a social life!” Sharon interjected.
Corbin
just let out a big sigh, “We’ll see”.
~~~~~
“I
haven’t a fucking clue” Will complained walking up the sidewalk, the cool night
air caused him to close his jacket tightly about him.
“Don’t
worry about it, at least things picked up towards the end of the night” Kevin
consoled him.
“Oh fuck”
Will groaned as he stepped into the house and saw that most of the guys were
up. So of course he got peppered with questions.
~~~~~
But in
the days and weeks to follow, Corbin never made any real effort to follow thru
on those social commitments, seemingly more content on falling back into her
regular routine. Sharon however, did continue to focus on her social
priorities, and the two friends seemed to privately admit that the growing
distance in their friendship was going to have to run its course. Sharon just
couldn’t keep trying to drag Corbin on dates and Corbin wasn’t about to force
herself to get enthusiastic about dating when she would rather; study, run,
practice soccer and workout at the gym.
Corbin
decided she was going to let things ‘ride out’ for the next few weeks or even
months, ‘Just try to be the best friend that you can’ Corbin would tell
herself, even though it was tough as Sharon was spending more time and even
nights at the Sorority house now, but Corbin got used to going bed alone, after
all she grew up as an only child.
~~~~~~
“Damn
girl!” The voice called out from behind Corbin, causing the blonde’s whole face
to light up. Even before turning around, the voice was unmistakable as she saw
Sharon standing there, sunglasses on. It was an unusually warm day and for the
first time that fall, Corbin was wearing a tank top out on a sun drenched patio
while reading. Sharon removed her sunglasses and leaned down, she had never
seen Corbin in this great a shape. Her shoulders, arms and abs that rolled
distinctly under the tight tank top were impressive.
Corbin's
book practically fell to the ground as she shocked Sharon by reaching over and
hugging her as if she had not seen her in months, when in fact it had only been
a few days. A few guys looked over and watched, in fact they had been stealing
glances at Corbin for the past several minutes as she sat reading.
"I
know..." Sharon sighed, "...I've been a terrible friend, but you
wouldn't believe the schedule I am on..." Corbin sat and listened as
Sharon talked on and on about everything, it was just like that, they just
chatted and talked. But underneath, despair had taken root within both of them,
they knew their friendship was taking a strain although neither would admit it,
in fact they had both become weary of discussing it at length.
Corbin
watched Sharon’s hand reach over to grab her tank top near her stomach, “Hey!”
Corbin smacked Sharon’s hand away before she could get a grip.
“Come on,
let me see” Sharon teased, “I see something under there”.
“See
what?” Corbin growled.
“Those
abs, that’s what, your time in the gym is paying off big time” Sharon leaned
down poking her fingers at Corbin’s stomach.
“Stop
that!” Corbin looked around nervously to see if anyone was watching and
continued to swat Sharon’s fingers away.
“Not
until you show me” Sharon demanded leaning back placing both hands on her hips.
“Jesus
Sharon…” Corbin looked around and rotated her body away from the where most
everyone was lounging around on the large common area.
“What are
you doing? Just lift it up” Sharon watched Corbin turn away.
“Not in
front of everyone” Corbin hissed, “If you want to see then step around here”
Corbin whispered.
“You’re
sad you know that…nobody gives a shit if you lift up your shirt, it’s not like
your flashing your tits Corbin” Sharon shook her head.
“Not so loud!”
Corbin blushed and looked over her shoulder, but she did watch several guys
staring in their direction and honestly did feel stupid…stupid all the way
around for being bashful.
“Holy
shit” Sharon sighed and leaned down while her right hand rubbed up and down the
rolling abdominal muscles of Corbin’s stomach. “Don’t flex, just relax…” Sharon
sighed.
“I am
relaxed” Corbin sneered impatiently, “This is flexed!” Corbin sighed feeling
ridiculous watching Sharon perform some inspection like she was shopping for
something.
Sharon’s
eyes narrowed as she watched the transformation take place from what was simply
obvious before to something seemingly etched…hard…exquisitely defined and
Sharon’s fingers reached out moving from side to side following the deep cuts
that separated the muscles along Corbin’s stomach around to her waist.
“Serratus anterior” Corbin said quietly.
“What?” Sharon glanced up.
“What your touching now” Corbin said.
“And this?” Sharon looked down and back up.
“Abdominal oblique” Corbin replied and actually felt
proud of her body and the effect it was having on Sharon and her. Sharon didn’t
say anything but simply dragged her fingers over Corbin’s warm, smooth skin
until she stopped and looked up again. “Rectus Abdominis” Corbin smiled and a
chill went up her spine at how Sharon’s touch lingered and caressed her skin,
gently probing her definition.
Slowly Sharon withdrew her touch and straightened
up, shaking her head in disbelief, “Wow Corbin, that’s impressive…I mean I knew
you were built…but…” Sharon smirked; she was actually at a loss for words for
once.
“DAMN” A guy’s voice suddenly interrupted their
moment and Corbin’s whole body jumped as she watched a guy walk by, but quickly
come to an abrupt stop staring at Corbin’s exposed stomach.
“Shit” Corbin complained and yanked her shirt down,
quickly reaching for her books.
“I meant that as a compliment” The guy looked on.
But Corbin kept walking away, head down and embarresed.
“I didn’t mean anything…” The guy waved his arms out
to his side with a smile.
“Corbin…wait!” Sharon called out and chased her friend down.
Corbin
suddenly stopped walking to face Sharon, “Hey, can we have dinner
tonight?"
"Oh
sweetie, I'm so sorry, I would love too but I have this..." Her voice trailed
off as the look of disappointment washed over Corbin's face a look that Corbin
fought to hide, she didn’t want to throw any attitude in Sharon’s direction.
"...I'll see what I can do" Sharon said seriously, but Corbin knew it
was bullshit. Her entire social and dating life was a priority, Corbin stood at
the same time Sharon did, who was getting ready to depart. Sharon gave a
somewhat reluctant hug, as it felt like the next time they saw one another
might be a long time.
Sharon
paused as she went to leave and put her sunglasses back on, Corbin froze and
recognized the hesitation, and she got somewhat excited with anticipation.
"Look,"
she said seriously, "...I have to tell you something"
"Yeah?
What is it?" Corbin stared blankly.
"Look
babe" Sharon gripped Corbin's right arm, a little surprised how defined it
was, “I know I’ve been staying at the Sorority house more and more often now,
but once my pledging is up…” Sharon paused, which gave Corbin time to think,
wondering perhaps if Sharon was going to say that they would have more time to
spend together.
“I know
things have been crazy Sharon” Corbin smiled.
“Oh yeah,
totally…” Sharon smiled, but Corbin detected a little hesitation behind the
smile and maybe this wasn’t good news and she felt that ‘sinking feeling’.
“…but
once the pledging is up, and I get accepted…well, I’m pretty sure I’ll get
accepted, I’ll be spending more nights at the Sorority house. Basically, I’ve
gotten a few hints they are going to offer me a room at the house, it’s a really
big deal!” Sharon tried to perk up and emphasize the importance of this to her
and gripped Corbin’s arm tighter. But, Sharon could tell by the way Corbin’s
smile began to fade that her news wasn’t being received so well.
“I’m
sorry” Sharon frowned.
"Sorry?
About what? I’m busy with school work, practice and all that stuff, nothing as
exciting as your schedule" Corbin shrugged and half heartedly smiled, “But
that’s okay Sharon, really I know it means allot to you…”
“You
sure?” Sharon stepped in and hugged her.
“Oh come
on!” Corbin leaned away with a perplexed look, “I’m a big girl, it’s not like I
can’t handle being on my own!” Corbin laughed a little but she was falling
apart inside, but would never admit it. She felt closer to Sharon then almost anyone
and had started to envision their friendship falling apart day by day.
"Okay"
Sharon quickly hugged Corbin again, but she didn’t feel the hug returned so
enthusiastically. Pulling away, Sharon leaned in close, “I promise babe, I’ll make
plans for us to get together and we’ll spend loads of time together, just like
we used too”.
"Yep,
sounds great" Corbin sighed and picked her book up, watching Sharon walk
off, another chip seemed to crumble away from their friendship. Nikki was the only
saving grace along with her sports. Thankfully, holiday break was coming up and
Corbin thought a few days back home would be nice and she would be able to
nurture a friendship which seemed to be falling apart. 'Who the hell am I
kidding' Corbin was skeptical, Sharon had not mentioned one thing to Corbin
about getting together, and obvious sign that Sharon had no intention of
slowing down her activities at College.
She
paused upon entering her dorm room and glanced and Sharon’s tidy, well made
bed…wondering if perhaps it would be the last time she would look over and see
her friends’ collection of stuffed animals and other belongings.
“This
sucks” Corbin sighed and tossed her back pack over onto her own bed.
