Bedroomies - Episode 2
by Chris Marie Green
After she boards the plane, Jenna texts her best friend Heather.
OMG, Heather! I’m about to do something stupid.
You and stupid don’t belong in the same sentence.
Is there a yummy man on your flight and are you about to give him a lap dance like I would?
Haha. WORSE.
I like the sound of this.
Creeping away from my desk and hoping the boss doesn’t see me on my phone…
Going past your empty office and wishing my favorite finance person was here…
Okay, in the restroom now. Tell your bestie, baby.
Long story short…I left a "me item" on the sofa and Adam found it.
Eek!!! Seriously?
Seriously. And he got turned on or…something.
I kind of did too and we’ve been…talking.
WOWZA! This day will go down in infamy! Jen is doing it with our coworker Adam!
College Crush Adam!
Freaking HOT Adam!
Are you done amusing yourself?
Hon, I could stoke that fire and keep it burning all day.
I suggest you do the same thing.
Damn. I should’ve never offered him my place before he transferred to the LA office…
I thought it’d be no biggie having him since we had opposite schedules.
Instead I accidentally left something personal out in plain sight.
Whywhywhy?
Because you secretly have game and you subconsciously want Adam to realize it.
Jeez, Heather. I’d never purposely go there with him. You know that.
Sorry. Didn’t mean to downplay your hang-ups.
I know your parents taught you that modesty is a virtue and all that crap.
An announcement on the plane’s intercom asks passengers to stow away electronic devices.
Jenna sighs but doesn’t put her phone away yet.
I suppose I do have more hang-ups than your average bear, thanks to them.
And thanks to your first real boyfriend.
But he was young and dumb when you tried to share your kinks with him.
That doesn’t mean I never got over how he reacted.
Adam is a MAN. He would never laugh at you.
I’m still not going there with him.
He did tell me that he always knew there was a little monster behind the nerd but…
Little does he know.
What? That you hide behind geek collectibles and fanfic so you don’t have to have relationships?
Jenna glances at the silly Pikachu bag she’s stowed underneath the seat in front of her.
Submerging yourself in nerd culture isn’t always going to keep the real you hidden, Jen.
Okay, fellow nerd.
What if he senses there’s something else going on with me and gets turned off?
🙄 Listen, you can ask me crap like this all day…
Or you can actually have some fun.
It’s ONE flirty conversation. Adam will be gone soon anyway.
And I happen to know that your airline allows you to text during the flight so…
Do it do it do it do it
A flight attendant approaches, and Jenna turns off the phone.
Jenna’s heart pounds as the flight takes off.
Once they’re in the air, she opens up the text thread with Adam and begins typing.
Where were we?
Hey, stranger. Thought I lost you.
I just had to settle myself on the plane and wait for permission to use devices.
And that should bring us back to a certain device in particular…
Jenna blows out a breath, glances at her seat-mates, and huddles next to the window.
She fights a secret, wicked smile.
Yes. Weren’t we talking about how it felt for me to wear that nightie?
As I recall.
Well, since I’m still not alone, it made me feel like I’m feeling now.
Really hot…
Are you blushing yet?
NO.
Yes.
I’ll bet you’re blushing. Blushes always brought out your blue eyes.
So you were watching a movie, drinking amaretto, keeping company with a particular toy…
I also had some pictures with me.
She rushes on.
But I bet you want to know more about how I lifted my nightie, right?
Shit. I was going to ask about the pictures, but let’s go with the nightie.
In that case…I can still feel the way the air tickled my thighs.
Shit…
Right before I made myself feel wonderful.
It was like something hot and fast was humming up a wire that ran throughout my body.
You still there?
I had to sit down.
Jenna bites her lip and presses her thighs together.
I’ll bet you’re enjoying this way too much.
I think I’m enjoying this precisely the amount I should be.
Which is a LOT.
I’m also betting I know who you were thinking about when you were doing that.
You still believe it was you. Nope.
It wasn't a guy who's tall with light brown hair and devilish green eyes? A ripped bod?
A guy who likes to tease nerds?
🙄 You just described yourself in the cockiest way possible.
I could've been cockier.
Whatever you say. Anyway, you don't know this guy. Blond hair, brown eyes.
I see him in the subway on the way to work in the mornings.
Nice try.
Let’s get back to the part where you’re thinking about me while using this thing I found…
I’d even venture to guess that you were picturing me in a Stormtrooper uniform.
You’re such a jerk.
A jerk who had a lot of fantasies about his favorite tutor way back in college.
Um…fantasies?
Yeah. You used to wear all those tee shirts with anime characters.
Kick-ass heroines with eyes as big as yours.
It was hell to concentrate on math, but you were always patient with me.
And all the while…I fantasized about you.
Her smile goes hazy, then she checks herself.
I knew you’d get those numbers eventually.
And I always did.
The faster I aced math, the more time I had to dwell on anime dreams starring you.
She’s melting.
Remember that night before midterms senior year?
I brought you that Stormtrooper eraser.
And you blushed so hard I called you Rosy.
I haven’t called you that in a long time.
That’s because it no longer fits.
I disagree, Rosy.
I’m not as innocent as you make me sound.
Seriously.
Then do me a favor, Rosy.
Her pulse starts pumping again.
If you stop calling me that name I might consider a favor.
Ok, JEN.
On that plane, in the middle of all those people…
I want you to touch yourself.
And think of me.
Another erotic jolt makes her kick at her Pikachu bag.
Heat floods her. The ache inside her won’t go away.
She picks up her bag and holds it in her lap, pressing it against her and thinking of him.
Are you doing it?
She can feel the pressure in her belly thumping.
The plane hits turbulence, startling her back to reality, and she pushes away her bag.
Gotta go.
