An Accidental Romance

[eepy]

OOC:

This is a closed thread for darrenfate and myself. Later on Mistress Jorja is scheduled to join us. I hope the rest of you enjoy reading our little story

Characters:

Auburn Fisher (eepy) -- 22 years old, graduated college a couple of months ago, has been best friends with Rick since she was a freshman, is an aspiring screenwriter planning to head off to California to begin a brilliant career. 5'5", 110 lbs., pretty but dowdy, keeping her soft brown hair pulled off her heart-shaped face in a messy bun and wearing jeans and mens' button-down shirts that do little for her excellent figure.

Rick (darrenfate) -- 23 years old, recently completed his first year of law school on the East coast, is back at his undergraduate alma mater visiting his college buddies, including Auburn.

IC (Auburn):

She decided to take a shower. There was time, before he would be there. She'd already taken one, but that had been a couple of hours earlier, and she'd nothing else to do anyway.

She shouldn't have taken that second shower, she thought many times afterwards. Then she wouldn't have stepped on the soap, and fallen. Her life never would have changed so completely. She never would have ended up getting her heart broken by her best friend....

She'd never forget the pain in her hip when she fell on the edge of the bath. When her eyes blinked open he was there, gazing down at her. He'd never seen her without her clothes on before (heck, he'd never even seen her in a swim suit before), and as she drifted in and out of consciousness the relief she felt at leaving the door unlocked battled with her intense embarrassment and with the warm feeling deep within her as she felt his eyes drink in the sight of her wet, naked body.

RICK

You've got mail . Well his Hotmail inbox never actually said that out loud to him but hey Meg Ryan was cute enough for an older woman. Rick always added those lines when he logged in. Life was busy as a law student out at Boston U far from his old California haunts.

Wait, here was an email he almost missed! From Auburn. She had graduated just a few months ago. She was part of the group of mostly guys that hung around together. Auburn was saying that she would be free tonight while he was in town. Great. Auburn tonight, then Donnie and the rest of the crew for the weekend. Here were the directions to her place. Maybe they could hit campus again and the Pub. Get a veggie pizza and talk "old" times.

The plane trip was uneventful for once, Logan on high alert after that wacko from Sri Lanka tried to light his shoebomb. He got a rental and made it to Auburn's apartment ten minutes early. It was a good thing he did.

The door was slightly ajar as Rick knocked. He heard the shower running but there was something amiss. Water was hitting the floor. Knocking on the bathroom door, then swinging it open revealed Auburn out cold in the tub! Frantically Rick shut off the water and bent over her. She blinked, eyes slightly unfocused. Thank God she was alright. Now for the first time Rick realized she was naked before him. And gorgeous! He must have been blind all those years when he treated her as one of the guys. Rick's heart started thumping. He said -

"Hey you. It's me, Rick. Its going to be alright. I'll take care of you, don't try and get up just yet. I'll move you to the bedroom"

Easily picking her up, Rick unwound his muscular 6'2" body as he whisked her away to her bed. He pulled back the cover and gently laid her down. Auburn was watching him, now tracking him well with her eyes.

It sure is good to see you. Er, well, you know what I meant I don't mean the naked thing. Are you hurt?

Auburn

IC:

Auburn began to get a firmer grasp on the world around her and her gaze locked onto Rick's. She was touched by the look of concern in his eyes, the feeling of comfort in his arms. Now if she could just figure out what he was saying...

Naked thing... Oh god! Auburn could feel her cheeks burn as her brain and body awoke fully to the reality of the situation. She brought her arms up to cover her exposed chest and tried to curl her legs up, but the pain in her right hip caused her to wince. Her head throbbed.

Are you hurt? "Mmm, yeah," answered the normally-articulate Auburn. "My hip... and I think I hit my head..." She let out a soft moan.

Auburn had always been proud of her own toughness, her status as "one of the guys." But at the moment she was feeling very much like a girl, a girl in pain.

RICK

Auburn's slowly spoken words about her hip being sore caused Rick to look down at Auburn's body again. Indeed, there it was a red as mark as big as his hand, a dark bruise starting to form. Nothing cut, so she would be fine. Rick went into the kitchen and found a large Zip lock bag and loaded it with ice. Getting a small towel so the ice would not be directly on Auburn's perfect skin, Rick returned to the bedroom. He applied the ice pack soothing Auburn with these words:

"That was quite a scare you gave me back there. Just keep that ice pack on for a while. Let me take care of good you. I think we'll be staying in tonight.

Inevitably, Rick's eyes strayed to her still naked form. Auburn's still wet soft brown pussy hair was curled into little ringlets. Rick wanted to reach out and touch her so much his hand started to twitch. Rick shook his head as if to cast aside these thoughts. Auburn is one of his best friends he should be ashamed! But he wasn't. Instead he was getting hard.

Auburn, let me take a look at your head. You got a nasty bump there.

Gently, Rick looked at her scalp, she would have a knot by her left temple in the morning but her eyes focused well. Her eyes, her eyes! Was it just Rick or did everything have a sexual tension to it just now...
