“Save the last puff for me, will ya?” I got disrupted from my pleasing hallucination when these calm words stroke my ears. I felt like I just woke up from a coma. Not that I ever had experience with coma, but I could imagine that I would have felt something similar if I had to come out of one. I tried to open my eyes, but they appeared to be glued together - at least that was my initial feeling. After a bit of struggle, I managed to lift my eyelids to some extent. Being completely clueless about my whereabouts, I slowly rolled my eyes around the room. It didn’t take me a long time to realize that I was inside my apartment. I could hear a mellow voice of Jim Morrison on the background chanting “C’mon baby! Light my fire…” As I stretched my eyes more around the room, I noticed that two of my roommates, Suman and Kishor, were seated motionless on the couch as if they had been meditating for a long time. Sofia, whose voice had force me come out of my meditation earlier, was standing right next to my roommates’ couch and appeared to be the only person alive in the room. She was too busy trying to get the most out of a dying joint, which she must have snatched from one of my roommates earlier.
I felt something very strange about Sofia that day. She had never appeared glamorous to me before the way she did that day. That could well be because I had always looked at her as a friend and nothing else. Not that she wasn’t beautiful or anything, I just didn’t have that sort of attraction towards her. Sofia was a 19 years old student from Spain, who was living in an apartment very close to where we lived. She used to stop by our apartment and hung out with us every once in a while. Although none of my roommates had ever officially admitted their infatuations towards her, it was quite apparent to me that both of them had a big crush on her. I’m not sure though how much she was aware of the situation. My roommates were not the only “lovebirds” who were after her; I knew at least few other guys who were desperate to be closed to her. Why would not anybody be interested in her? She was young, sexy, and beautiful, and she had a figure that would make Penelope Cruz look ordinary. Wow! Was I blind to not notice her boldness until that day? Actually, I had never spent that much time with her like my roommates did. Now it was for sure that the list of her admirers had just grown up one larger.
My roommates were still stoned and lying dead on the couch. I, however, managed to pull myself together and decided to have conversation with Sofia. “Damn! The grass was really very strong today. I was completely paranoid with one stick.” I broke the ice by giving compliment to the joint. “I know. It must be of Southern mix. I am about pass out myself”, Sofia replied. We talked for a while on different topics. She told me how difficult it was for her to come to USA, learn English and get adapted to a new atmosphere. I told her that I had a similar experience too. After talking for sometime, Sofia decided to head out to her apartment. “Would you mind walking me to my apartment?”, she asked. I looked at my watch and noticed that it was 1:00 am in the morning already. “Sure, it will be my pleasure”, I responded as a gentleman. Without wasting any more time, I put my shoes on and walked out from my apartment with Sofia.
It was little breezy outside, but it was not cold by any mean. I would have loved to stay outside with Sofia for a while, but she seemed to be in hurry to get inside her apartment for some reason. So I didn’t even bother to ask her if she wanted to smoke a cigarette before we got into her apartment building. Sofia apartment was on the third floor. I had never been inside her apartment though. She lived with a young Italian girl, who was as attractive as Sofia was, if not more. “Do you want me to walk you to the third floor?”, I asked naively. “If you don’t mind”, Sofia uttered politely. As I followed her through the stairs, I couldn’t take my eyes off her next-to-perfection butt. We arrived at the front door of her apartment. “Alright then, have yourself a good night”, I didn’t know what else to say. She smiled at me and asked, “How about a good night hug?” I told myself that it had to be a compliment for walking with her to her apartment in the middle of the night. Little she knew, I had already received my compliments while she was climbing the stairs. In any case, I gave her a hug and got little aroused as her tits pressed against my chest. I didn’t want to look desperate, so I acted cool. “Ok Sofia, good night again! My roommates must be looking for me now”. I had to admit that I was really nervous when she smiled at me and asked “How about a good night kiss now?” I didn’t know if she was joking or serious. I am usually good when it comes to a situation like this. But this one was a unique one - something very unexpected and it was Sofia for Christ’s sake. She was asking me for a kiss while she could pretty much go and sleep with any guy around. I murmured to myself, “Every dog has his day”. contd......
