I figured it was worth the risk. I fashioned my hoodie into a workable dress, then headed down to the hot tub. I spied Rick next to a grill, jamming to some music I couldn’t quite hear.“Rick,” I waved.“Tara, right?” he asked, pointing with his tongs.“Stephanie,” I corrected.“Right, right,” he said, “Tara is the blonde.”“No,” said a woman at Rick’s side, “Tara is the redhead. Hi, I am Penny, Rick’s wife. You moved in just down the hall, yeah?”“Yup,” I said, “nice to meet you.”A guy a little younger than me hopped out of the tub, dripping as he stood by Rick’s side. He had a shy smile and a cute little pudge to his stomach. He stood next to Rick as if waiting to be introduced.“Stephanie, this is Cal,” Rick said, tapping his shoulder, “the birthday boy.”“Happy birthday,” I said.“Thanks,” he replied.“Well,” Rick continued, “you going to invite the girl into the hot tub? Or are you just going to keep standing there, dripping on the grill?”Cal blushed as bright as a turnip and looked down.“I’d love that,” I said enthusiastically. “Let me just put my stuff down.”Cal watched me with doughy eyes as I undressed. He is a shy one. I realized I had forgotten to take off my nipple rings, so I looked a bit perky as I dropped into the water next gaziantep ofise gelen escort to Cal. There were about a dozen of us in there, crammed like sardines in a can, everyone in the middle of their own conversations.I accidentally grazed his thigh as I settled. “Oops, sorry. So, Cal, tell me about yourself.”“I’m not that interesting,” he said.“Everyone is interesting in one way or another,” I protested. I could tell that he was shy, so I did my best to lead the conversation. “You’re in—college?”“High school senior,” Cal said, almost ashamed, “but basically in college.”“Oh nice,” I said. So, just a—a few years younger than me, I guess. Sort of.“You in college?” Cal asked.“Graduate,” I said. “I am a massage therapist. Actually, started my new job just last week.”“Congrats!” Cal beamed. His eyes fell to my chest and lingered for more than a moment. I sunk a little deeper into the tub.I chatted with Cal for a bit. He did his best to tell me all the basics of formal introductions. Where he went to school, what he did for fun, what he liked to do on the weekend, and the like. He was shy but sweet.Rick announced the hot dogs were ready, and we got out of the gaziantep öğrenci escort hot tub. After more mingling with my new neighbors, and we were all full, the crowd started to disperse. I gathered my things and was about to go when Rick stopped me.“Hey, thanks for being so nice to Cal,” he said quietly.“We were just chatting, it’s the nice thing to do. Why? Should I not be nice to him?” I joked.“Look, between you and me, he doesn’t have quite the experience talking with girls,” Rick whispered. “Nice guy, but shy as a freckle on your ass.”I laughed. “Never heard that one before! I think you might worry too much; he is plenty a charmer.”“You’re probably right,” Rick said as Penny walked over.“Do you want to join us for cake?” she asked. “We have way more than we could ever eat.”“I should probably get to unpacking,” I said.“And beer,” Rick noted. “More beer than we can drink as well.” Penny nudged his arm with a smile.“Alright, you convinced me,” I said.I spent a good portion of the evening in their apartment, eating a slice of cake, playing games, and drinking one too many beers than I should have. Cal hovered at my side most of the night. He was really flirty oğuzeli escort when he relaxed. Simple things, like touching my arm at a joke, or making sure I had everything I needed. And it didn’t help that I have a naturally flirtatious personality.“I should get going,” I said. “But thank you for the food, and inviting me over, that was really nice.”“Here, take this,” Penny said, handing me an oversized plate of food. “Leftovers for later.”After I struggled to hold it all, Cal rushed over. “I’ll help!”“Oh, you don’t need to do that, I am just down the hall,” I said. Rick waved subtly from across the room in a way that I took to mean let him help, it’s his birthday. “Actually, that would be great, thanks, Cal.”Cal held open the door for me as I opened the door to my apartment, following me in and putting the piles of food next to my fridge. I thanked him, then stood at the door.“That was fun, thanks for inviting me,” I said.“Of course,” Cal said. He cleared his throat. “Can—can I kiss you on the cheek?”I blushed. “Aw. That is sweet of you. Yes, you can.” I held out my cheek, and he nervously pecked. He fidgeted some more with a smile.“Can I ask you something?” I said, curious.“Yeah, anything,” he said.“Have you ever kissed a girl? Like, make out?” I asked.“Nope,” he said softly.“Do you want to? Come on, I’ll teach you.”I led Cal to a pile of blankets, patting for him to sit next to me. Just a little kiss, I thought. Something to make the birthday special and memorable.“Alright,” I whispered and grabbed his hands. “Put one hand here, just below my ear and around my neck. Perfect. Now pull me in when you’re ready.”
