Unspoken Pleasure

Since I was six feet and she was five-foot-two, my eyes kept falling down her chest where I could see white cups supporting her breasts. When I realized where I was staring, I tried to look up at the stars and not at her.

“Did you watch the Leonids this year?” she asked me.

When we were in the seventh grade, Thuy had done a report on meteors and the Leonids meteor shower. We had snuck out of our windows at one in the morning that night to lie on the grass watching the stars fall.

“Not this year,” I told her. I wanted to say something. About how she looked. About how beautiful she was.

“It was a good display.”

“Too bad I missed it.”

“Veejay and I drove out to this hillside to watch it, but too many lights in the area really.” I don’t know why but I felt a lump in my throat.

“How’s he doing?”

“Fine, I think. We broke up about a month ago.”

“I’m sorry, Thuy. I know you liked him. He always sounded decent when you messaged about him. Not a slimeball anyway.”

“Yeah, he’s a good guy, but it wasn’t there. Neither of us was devastated when it ended.”

“Hey now that you are back on the market, you will find someone else that gets your blood pumping.”

“Gets my panties wet, you mean.”Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

I laughed. “If that’s your thing.”

“Of course, it’s my thing. I can get horny too even if I haven’t consummated.”

“I want to hear more about this horny thing you’ve got going.”

“Uh-huh. I ‘m sure you do.”

“Tell me, tell me.”

She threw a devilish smile at me and said, “Well, let’s go eat and I will tell you all about the Yummies that get me going.”

Thuy drove and did tell me of all her prospects. There was the tall Brazilian soccer player with long muscles who was all over her, and she wouldn’t mind if he had been all over her, if he had ever bothered to care if she was dating someone else or not.

“Don’t you worry that if he doesn’t care whether or not you’re dating now that he won’t care when he’s dating you?”

“Jake, it’s not a long-term relationship with him that I’m after.”

She also told me about the thin, silent guy in black in Eighteenth Century lit class who kept stealing glances. I even got to hear about BOAC, “Best Ass on Campus”. Turned out he was gay, so she and her friends let him keep the title, but they had to identify a BOAC II.

“Aren’t the letters wrong? Shouldn’t it be BAOC?”

Thuy giggled. “I just know he’s BOAC. Maybe BAOC’s too hard to say.”

As we hit town, it was already getting late and most restaurants were closed. We ended up eating some greasy hamburgers and nachos at some bar stools, totally over-dressed for the occasion.

“So what about you?”

“Me?”

“Yeah, who do you want to do?”

“Like a celebrity?”

“No, I mean who are you dating. Work with me here.”

“I don’t have much time for girls right now.”

“You’ve got time to look.”

“I don’t wanna talk about this right now.”

“Jake, I’ve told you about every guy I can think of. We talked once about a yeast infection. Your parents. We talk about everything.”

“I didn’t know you had broken up with Veejay for over a month.”

Thuy was silent for a second. “Yeah, I didn’t know I was hiding it, but I guess I was.”

“Umm, so,” I began. “There’s Tracy at work. I think if I wanted a sex fling, she’d be my girl.”

“What do you like about her?”

“Not much actually. But she’s nice and I get the idea she’d be very willing.”

“Tracy puts out.”

“I don’t know, but she’s always doing these blatant things to get my attention. She actually stared at me once sucking her finger.”

“Are you sure she exists and isn’t some porn fantasy?”

“If she were my fantasy, we’d be doing it.”

“Why aren’t you?”

I shrugged. “I don’t know. I feel like… I’m waiting for someone else.”

Thuy nodded. “So one girl agrees with me that you’re hot, but you’re not interested. Any actual dates?”

“Not too much.”

“Not a single one in however many months.”

“Alright, Jane, you nosy slut.”

Thuy’s smile broadened. “Who you calling nosy?”

“Yeah, yeah. So there was this woman in Physics.”

“Oooh, a physics babe. All the cutest ones do it quantum-style.”

I paused and gave Thuy my look. She quietly formed a little halo over her head with her fingers and waited.

“So, I’d noticed her the first day. Why? Ummm.. just a killer body, essentially, yeah. She’s black with these amazing braids–”

“Tell me about the killer body.”

“You’re in a mood tonight.”

Thuy said nothing.

“Fine. She’s got a great ummm how do I say…”

“Rack?”

“Yeah, pretty much. And why are you looking at me like that? These long legs and big smile. I started having dreams about her. Yes, those kinds of dreams!”

“I didn’t say anything. Don’t yell at me.”
