Chapter 18A - Nicole

Nicole was beyond excited to see her boyfriend. The moment she heard he was back on campus, she felt herself brimming with excitement at their reunion. All she could think about was being in his arms again and having him all to herself. The past few weeks of loneliness and mistakes felt miles behind her as the Soft Sophomore felt like things were about to be normal again.

Kate had yet to return from her break, so Nicole was left alone in her dorm, anxiously fidgeting in anticipation for Carl to come. The texts he was sending her were few and far between, but she knew he was in class. While she waited, Nicole did her makeup while in her underwear, planning on how to pounce on Carl when he walked in. Yet as the minute's ticket by, Nicole's patience ran out. Without much thought, Nicole threw on an outfit as quickly as she could. Even though it was January, Nicole didn't care about the crop top she threw on.. Or was it a crop top? Nicole hadn't remembered buying a button-down that didn't completely cover her midriff.. but the more skin showing, the better. It seemed as if the issue with the dryer has crept back up as well. Her Yoga pants fought her as she tugged them all the way up and over her ass. Though they were uncomfortable, the discomfort was hardly the thing at the front of her mind.

Luckily, Carl's class wasn't too far from her dorm. As she made her way over there, she felt oddly overheated in the chilly January air. Shortly after entering the campus building, Nicole took a moment to collect herself before making a B-line for Carl's classroom. She was just in time. He was walking out of class, looking just as dashing and sexy as she remembered. Nicole started shouting his name a few times until his eyes were finally on her.

The look he gave her made Nicole feel like a goddess. Sure, she already knew she was one of the best pieces of ass on campus, yet Carl's admiration meant more to her than anyone. Yes, even more than that baker boy, David. Nicole couldn't keep her eyes on Carl's built chest as she closed the distance and went in for a hug.

She pulled him in tightly, feeling the body she had desperately missed for way too long. She also felt how hard he was for her as she pressed her body against his crotch. It felt validating.

When Carl had told her how busy he was for the day, Nicole couldn't help herself but pout. It wasn't fair! She had waited so long for this. Yet, as Carl explained how difficult his day was, she sympathized with him. Mainly due to the guilt she felt for cheating on him while he was gone, Nicole decided not to push Carl too hard. Whatever he wanted. Yet, she was excited that she'd get to cuddle with him later. Once they were in bed together, Carl wouldn't be able to resit her body, and he'd forget how tired he was. She'd have her claws all over him.

It was odd, but before parting, Carl had suggested going to the gym with her the following day. They didn't usually spend any time together at the gym. Not that Nicole had been going to the gym in several months. The idea of seeing her man in his natural habitat was intriguing, though. She couldn't wait to show off herself. She had boys drooling during her freshman year whenever she did squats or parked herself on the stair master. It would be nice to show Carl just how much competition he had.

On top of that, It was an excellent excuse to go shopping for some more activewear. It had been forever since Nicole had gone to the mall, so she went home, threw on a winter jacket, and took a Uber over. Usually, Nicole would take her trips to the mall with a girlfriend. Last year that friend had been Jess, but this year, Kate was still MIA from her holiday break. This would have to be a solo venture.
