Summertime Affair

Summertime Affair

“I am so sick of this semester, I have been studying like a maniac” I said to Robin and Helen my only two best friends. “Yeah, and the dreary freezing cold outside is not adding any good to it” Helen agreed after another puff from her spliff. It was wintery outside, snowing, which is untypical to Florida. We used to hang out a lot in Helen’s apartment, I guess because it was so cozy and warm, though the heater was never on. Not once did I ask myself why I am so attached to this apartment, but I never admitted out loud that sometimes I just go there to see Austin, Helen’s roommate. He is barely there when I am there, but I guess today was my lucky day. Austin was a student too, we used to go to the same university but he never talked to me. God help me, Austin just stepped out of the shower, a white towel wrapped around his hips giving me the blessing of the day by showing his muscular V-shaped lower abs. The spliff I was holding now in between my fingers fell on the floor after this brief glimpse, and I automatically moved my head to look at Robin. Robin opened his eyes as he was sharing a mutual excitement with me. All a sudden I felt a warmth rushing through me as if my blood was on fire, the palm of my hands got sweaty and I was scared Austin would notice it, but the man is pretty oblivious to his surroundings, so he did not. If I went outside, I would have probably exuded steam due to the contact of my boiling body with the cold atmosphere. Austin never really spoke to me, and Helen always used to tell me that Austin is more into dumb blondes. I was not dumb, nor blonde. And so, days passed by, we finished our first year in college and summertime was just around the corner. Robin and I used to go more often now to Helen’s apartment since it was our summer break. Though these times were different; Austin’s contract in this apartment came to an end and he moved out. So, I just came in to smoke, laugh and leave, there was nothing for me to anticipate.
The next day was the usual, it was pretty dry outside, not so hot nor humid. It felt more like European weather than the typical hot- burning weather you would expect in Florida. I was on my way home from the gym when I heard my phone alerting me of a notification. I opened my Instagram and I saw Austin’s name asking to follow my profile. I screenshotted the moment in my phone and sent it to Helen saying: “look who is into dark-haired girls ;) ”. Never in my life did I imagine having such a deep and funny conversation with Austin. The typical Florida sizzling weather was now my body. We talked about everything, for days, morning till night and it took us just three days to want to meet up, and so we did. Our dates couldn’t be any better, Austin is not only this hot, Greek God look-alike man, but he was also soft and gentle, and he loved to touch me. His touch would set my body on fire, giving me heavy breaths and a racing pulse. On our third or fourth date (not that it matters…) he invited me over, it took him too long to ask for that. I had been waiting for this moment since the first day I saw him, or maybe since that day he came out of the shower in Helen’s apartment. It took us less than 5 minutes to strip each other down, we threw our clothes on the floor, not even paying attention to where they landed. His body was firm, some areas were hot some were cold and sweaty, he was nervous, I could feel it. We kissed for god knows how much time, while touching each other everywhere. I noticed his right hand was not on me anymore but trying to open the window, we were both hot, blazing and sweaty though the heat that came from outside did not help us out. Just great, the window let such a hot wind come in if like the heater was on. Or maybe it was just us. I moved my hands on Austin’s abs, I felt every muscle and vein pumping through his skin. When he was between my legs, the walls around me felt on fire...

The day after...
“Tell me everything!” Helen pleaded, emphasizing the “everything” while the three of us were sitting in her apartment again. Robin was about to say something too when all of a sudden we heard loud, strong thunders and a pouring rain like never before. We could barely see through the windows since the rain quickly turned to ice. “What the…?” I mumbled staring at the windows. 
“Will you tell us already what happened with Austin???” Robin asked impatiently as always. “Austin who?” I replied. Their countenances reflected confusion, so I helped them out, “it was nothing more than a summertime affair”.
