Later on that day, a pair of detectives, assisted by one of the campus directors, went door to door questioning everyone who was available, hoping for even the tiniest of clues to help them catch the killer.
“Are you the only ladies living in this house?” asked one of the detectives.
“No,” said Katelyn. “There’s a girl named Rose Andreas who lives here too, but we haven’t seen her all day.”
Just then, the door opened up, and in walked Rose.
“There you are,” said Nicolette. “We were wondering where you’ve been all day.”
Rose closed the door and looked warily at the detectives and the director. “Just out and about. I heard the horrible news,” she said before the detectives asked her the same questions they had asked the others.
Shortly afterward, the detectives left the house, and the girls fell into their usual weekend routine. This meant that Dalene would spend most of the time out of the house while the other three spent most of the time in their rooms. Even Rose was gone more and more these days.
Try as she might, Ashley couldn’t imagine where Rose could possibly spend so much of her time. She could see Dalene having enough phony, conceited people like herself to hang with, but quiet, shy Rose? Must have a boyfriend, Ashley concluded. After all, there were plenty of guys who liked quiet girls like Rose, and although she was heavy, she wasn’t ugly.
After a while of reading, she thought about knocking on Katelyn’s door.
Katelyn.
Wonderful, gorgeous Katelyn, who she just couldn’t stop thinking of when she wasn’t thinking about the student that was killed and the horrible fate she narrowly escaped herself.
However, she opted not to go to her room so as not to come off as a pest. Instead, she decided that since it was close enough to dinner time anyway, she’d go fix herself something to eat and hope that Katelyn would come out to do the same at some point.
She set her book down on her nightstand and stepped out into the hall. The sound of crying stopped her dead in her tracks. She glanced towards the right, then towards the left.
Who could possibly be crying?
Heading towards the left, she realized, as she spotted light from underneath the door closest to hers, that it was Rose she was hearing. Just to be sure, she ventured on past Rose’s door towards Nicolette’s closed door.
The sound faded.
She doubled back, took a deep breath, then knocked softly on Rose’s door. At first, she didn’t think she heard her or that she was going to answer if she had, but then she got a meek response. “Who is it?”
“It’s me, Ashley. Can I come in?”
Ashley could sense the hesitancy on the other side of the door.
“Yeah, I guess. It’s not locked.”
Ashley opened the door and found Rose sitting on the edge of her bed, tissue in hand.
“I heard you crying, and I just wanted to see what was up. Can I help in any way?”
Rose studied Ashley with skepticism, then smiled softly. “No, thanks. I appreciate your concern, but I’ll be okay. I just get a little homesick at times.”
Ashley smiled understandably. “I know what it’s like. Where’s home anyway?”
“I’m from the area.”
“Got a big family?”
Rose nodded. “Four sisters and three brothers.”
“Wow!” Ashley exclaimed.
“Most Mexican families are quite large.”
Ashley laughed. “I guess so. Why is that anyway?”
Rose shrugged. “Don’t know. It’s just how we are, I guess.”
Just as Rose went to blow her nose with the tissue she’d been holding, Ashley noticed cuts on the palms and backs of her hands.
“What happened to your hands?”
Rose looked at her hands as if noticing the cuts for the first time. “Oh,” she said nonchalantly, “I passed by some kids playing ball, and the ball whizzed right by me and into some thorny hedges. Guess I got scratched up a bit helping to find the ball.”
“So where do you hang out on weekends? You’re usually not here.”
“Here and there,” Rose said evasively.
“He must be quite a prince,” Ashley said with an impish smile, trying to coax the mysterious girl to open up.
“I wish,” Rose said sorrowfully. “Maybe someday, but right now I just don’t seem to fit in anywhere, you know? Guys aren’t interested in me because I’m fat, and other chicks don’t want to hang out with a Mexican.”
“To hell with any guys who don’t want you just because of your weight, and how about hanging out with your own kind if you feel others will reject you?”
Rose shrugged, seeming to consider Ashley’s advice, then placed her hands in her lap, still holding the wadded tissue, and looked up at her. Her look had changed. Now she was eyeing9Please respect copyright.PENANA79cjbtRv0Q
Ashley as if she were an intruder.
Ashley began to back out of the room. “Well, I’ll give you some space. I’ll be around if you decide you want to chat some more.”
“Thanks,” Rose said before she shut the door and headed for the kitchen just as Katelyn exited her room.
Ashley’s face lit up as fast as her heartbeat sped up.
“Hey there, what’s up?” said Katelyn.
Ashley motioned her into the kitchen, and Katelyn followed, curiosity furrowing her brow.
“I heard Rose crying,” Ashley whispered, “and so I knocked on her door to see what was up.”
“And?”
“She said she was homesick.”
“How strange,” said Katelyn.
“Why?”
“She said she never got along with her family. Something about feeling like the black sheep of the family because she was the only one born out of an affair her mother supposedly had.”
“Oh,” said Ashley.
Katelyn glanced towards the hallway, then back at Ashley. “It’s never good to gossip, so let’s just keep this between us, okay?”
“No problem. I probably wouldn’t be telling this to anyone else. I feel I can trust you more than anyone else I’ve met around here.”
“Good,” Katelyn said with a smile as she rummaged through the refrigerator.
Ashley watched her, admiring the way her snug ass looked in the jeans she wore.
“You know,” Katelyn said, closing the door to the refrigerator and standing upright to face Ashley, “I’m rather tired of the same old, same old. You had dinner yet?”
Ashley shook her head.
“How about it if I have a pizza delivered and you split it with me?”
“Sure, let me go check my money and…”
“Oh, don’t bother, hun. It’ll be my treat.”
Ashley turned back to Katelyn.
“Really, it will be. I’d love to treat you,” Katelyn said with a twinkle in her eye. “The only way you have to pay for it is to share it with me and keep me company for a while. That is, if you’ll agree to do so.”
“Of course I will, and I’d love to spend time with you,” Ashley said with a smile.
“You like mushrooms?”
“Love them.”
Excitement swept through Ashley as she skipped happily down to her room to run a brush through her hair while Katelyn phoned in the order. She studied her reflection in the mirror and noted her happy expression. That changed when she looked down at her dull sweatpants and sweatshirt, but thought it may look a bit odd if she changed now or touched up what little makeup she wore.
Ashley left her room shortly afterward and watched as Katelyn stepped into the darkened living room to take the pizza once it arrived. She looks good even in the shadows, she thought to herself, watching her sexy silhouette brighten as she turned and came towards the lit kitchen.
“Let’s grab some silverware, drinks, and some napkins first,” said Katelyn.
“I’ll fetch it. You can go get set up in your room, and I’ll be in in a sec.”
“Okay then. See you there,” Katelyn said with a wink.
A wink that suggested what? Ashley wondered. That they’d do more than eat pizza? Or could she be mistaking a friendly girl who simply wanted to be friends and nothing more?
The answer would come not long after they finished most of the pizza.
“I’m stuffed,” Ashley said, “yet it was really good. Thanks for the treat.”
“You’re quite welcome.” Katelyn stood up. “I’m going to go and put the rest of it in the refrigerator for now.”
Ashley watched as Katelyn gathered the pizza and some other items from the bed they sat on while they ate, and then left the room with both hands loaded. She studied the room closely once Katelyn was out of sight.
By the nightstand stood a picture of her standing between what appeared to be her parents.9Please respect copyright.PENANAQHQIrvRB5v
She had her arms draped over their shoulders as she smiled broadly. The rest of the room appeared to be an ordinary room for a college student with textbooks, pens, and pencils, along with other typical items.
She was still sitting on the side of the bed when Katelyn returned. She walked slowly towards her, hands tucked casually in the pockets of her pants.
“Do you want me to go now in case you want to study or go to sleep?” Ashley asked, suddenly feeling a little timid.
Katelyn smiled slightly, then asked, “Do you want to go?”
Ashley thought a moment, then shook her head slowly. “No,” she said softly.
Katelyn sat down next to her, shook her bangs out of her eyes, and gazed at her. She then smiled and reached for one of Ashley’s hands, cupping it gently in her palms and studying it intently. “So tiny,” she said with a smile, glancing back at Ashley.
Katelyn then released her hand and leaned towards Ashley for their first kiss.
Ashley leaned closer as well.
Their lips met in a sweet, soft, tender kiss that seemed to be filled with a mixture of curiosity, lust, and emotion.
After a moment, Katelyn pulled back, smiled, then said in a hushed voice, “Hold on.” She stood up and walked towards the door, which Ashley couldn’t see very well from the bed. She heard Katelyn click the lock into place before returning to where she sat. “They don’t usually knock first.”
Ashley chuckled.
Katelyn sat back down next to her and leaned towards her once again for another sensual kiss. Little by little, Katelyn nudged Ashley onto her back with her weight where they kissed a while longer. Then Katelyn stood up and pulled her shirt up over her head along with the sports bra she wore while Ashley sat upright to remove her own shirt and satin-lace bra.
Katelyn shrugged out of her pants and underwear, then Ashley laid back so she could remove her sweatpants. Katelyn helped, tugging at the sweatpants before taking a moment to feast her eyes on Ashley’s body. Delight and excitement shone in her dark eyes.
“You’re quite a beauty,” she said softly.
Ashley smiled. “The feeling’s mutual.”
And it was. Katelyn was a stick, in a sense, that most guys wouldn’t exactly go for, yet she possessed a certain kind of beauty that appealed to her as well as strength that gave Ashley a sense of security. She could easily see other gay fems such as herself desiring the tall, dark, muscle-bound girl. Delight stirred within her as she watched the way she held her shoulders high, chest erect. She had very small breasts, yet she had firm, erect nipples that made her quiver with a desire that was foreign to her, but wonderful just the same. Muscles rippled gently from Katelyn’s shoulders down to her forearms as she moved to hover over her with her arms at her sides.
Pinned beneath Katelyn with her lower legs dangling over the side of the bed as she trailed a line of kisses down her face and neck, she felt her passion growing surprisingly fast. Katelyn’s flesh felt heavenly against her own as the trail moved down to one of her breasts. Her body arched against Katelyn’s swirling tongue, demanding more. Warm breath mixed with the cool moisture left on her quivering skin as she quickly swung her tongue to administer the same heavenly treatment on the other breast.
Ashley’s breath now came in short, shallow breaths. She noticed that Katelyn’s breathing was getting heavier as well with her own mounting desire for ecstasy and release.
Katelyn’s tongue slowly and teasingly trailed down from her breasts to her lower belly as she slid off the bed to kneel on the floor.
Ashley’s legs spread instinctively, longingly. “Please, Katelyn,” she begged.
Katelyn glanced up at her with lust-filled eyes.
“I can’t wait any longer,” Ashley told her.
Katelyn slipped her silky panties off with ease in one quick, fluid motion, and Ashley wasted no time. She threw her legs around Katelyn’s neck and pulled her closer to her before she clasped her ankles securely in back.
“Guess we are getting desperate here,” Katelyn said with a grin.
“Please hurry,” Ashley urged, amazed at just how desperate she truly was.
Katelyn dove between her legs and expertly licked and sucked at her pussy till she brought her to a squealing orgasm.
She let her heart rate slow down for a minute, then, sensing Katelyn’s own urgency, she motioned her onto the bed and switched places with her. Katelyn bent her knees so that her feet were on the very edge of the bed as Ashley moved in between them. Katelyn gazed down to where she knelt, hot with desire. Ashley slid her hands up towards Katelyn’s firm breasts. At the same time, she began to lick Katelyn’s pussy till she shuddered in ecstasy, placing a hand over her mouth to keep from crying out too loud.
They took a moment to catch their breath, then Katelyn sat upright next to Ashley. “So how ya feeling now?” she asked.
“Wonderful,” Ashley replied with a grin.
“So you’re certain this is for you?”
“Without a doubt.”
Katelyn looked thoughtful for a moment. “It sure was good.”
“Yes, it was. A little fast, but good.”
“Well,” said Katelyn with an impish and suggestive grin, “we can always make it last a little longer the second time around.”
With that, they made love again… Slower this time.
