A talk

College kept Shar and us separate for a day or so. I mean, we still shared a few steamy text sessions, but it's not the same as having her in the same room, screaming my name as we make love. Still, I'll take what I can get. Eventually, we're able to at least find some time to meet at the cafeteria, where we start exchanging small talk about college life, but it's not long until Shar brings something more interesting up.

"So you ready for tomorrow night's Salsa lesson?"

"Oh. We're still doing that?" I ask.

"Yeah. I cleared things up with Rosa."

"Oh okay."

Shar raises an eyebrow. "You okay with that?"

"Uh, sure. I should be right."

"Great." Shar smiles at me, so I graze my leg against hers.

"So, what about tonight?" I ask.

"I can't babe. I've got a test at the end of the week and I'm a bit behind my studies."

"Guess that's my fault, isn't it?"

Shar chuckles. "A bit."

"Maybe we can hang out after the salsa lesson?"

"I was counting on that."

We both share a giggle before I say "Maybe we could talk about the swinging thing?"

"So you've come around?"

"Well... I'm willing to work something out."

"Good enough for me."

"I mean hell, I might have to get back into the previous business the way the job hunt is going."

"Oh. So nothing so far?"

"Nope."

"That sucks. Sorry to hear it."

I give Shar a shrug. "It's not your fault."

"Well, I'm sure the campus will be more than welcoming to its premiere cunnilingus expert."

We soon finish our meals and then go our separate ways. Eventually, I find myself having finished another day of lessons and heading back to my dorm. Inside the lobby, I find Dave waiting for me.

"Hey dude. Could I have a word?" He says.

"Yeah sure. What's on your mind?"

"Nothing much, just uh... " He leans towards me. "I know we have an agreement and all, but I've gotten a complaint or two about you and that Shar chick."

"Oh... Even with how far my dorm is?"

Dave shrugs. "Yeah man."

"Well, I'll do what I can."

"No problem. Not that I blame you or anything."

We share a chuckle before I head back to my room to study for the night. As I do so, I find myself thinking about Shar and this open relationship thing. How far am I really willing to go, and is it as far as Shar wants me to go?
