"Hey, I hope everything is alright with you. I know that it's hard to get through and everything but I know that you can bounce back from it. Hope to see you back at the university soon." *BEEP*
I closed my phone and sighed, running my fingers through my hair. Being home really helped get my bearings a little better because I knew that Dad was there to help me if need be and Tamari was there as well. She cooked some soup for me and then made an Indian dinner to make me feel better. Eating all that naan just made me feel homey and loved. I hated when I got like this because it made me feel like I was a wimp and everything but the faster I can get over it, the faster I can get back to my real life.
There was a knock at the door and Dad stuck his head in.
"Hey, you doing alright?"
"Yeah..."
"Do you think you need to stay another day?"
"No, I can go back tonight. I promised Sansr I'd go to a party with her so if I don't go she'll blow a gasket."
Dad frowned. "Be careful at that party."
"I will. I always am."
He nodded a little and sighed, leaning on the doorway.
"I'm sorry that Julie did that to you, Sim. I didn't think it would be so bad."
"If she hadn't said anything then it might have been better. If she hadn't mentioned anything about it but... oh well, I'm getting over it and I can move on with my life. If they start becoming bad, I'll call again and maybe Dr. Peters can prescribe me some more anxiety pills again."
"Yeah. Hey, don't forgot that Jai is going to be presenting a project in a couple of months. He wants us all to be there, including you. You know he really looks up to you and your smarts."
"Well, in all technicality, I am his older brother."
"But he doesn't know that. Be grateful that he wants to follow in your footsteps; unlike someone I know."
"Bay?"
"Yeah... he's getting himself into some trouble. For someone who isn't exactly Tarot's kid, he sure does act like him."
"Uncle Tarot wasn't that promiscuous."
"True but he knew how to hit it off with the ladies and he seems to have been able to pick it up."
"Maybe you could too and you don't know it... Or, it could have to do with the libido thing you told me about."
"That could be it... I hope that's all. With his sexual activity, if anything happens he's going to be so confused."
"Are we ever going to tell them?"
"When the time is right. I have to go to the lab and Tamari will be picking up Ichor and Kalij at school so if you need me to take you back then it needs to be now."
"Okay. I'll get ready in a moment."
He nodded and left. I opened up my phone and dialed Tayla's number.
"Hola?"
"Hey, it's me. Thanks for the message. I'm okay now."
"You sure? You looked pretty messed up."
"Had a hangover last night but I'm okay now. Tamari fixed Indian for me and I got fat off of naan."
Tayla laughed. "I love your mom's cooking. I wish I could have had some. So hey, are you going to the party tonight?"
"Yeah, Tayla told me she wants me to go and I promised her I would."
"Cool. I was invited too. Maybe I'll see you there... Not like I can hang with you or anything because your girlfriend would kill me with her eyes but oh well."
"I'll look for your hair."
"It's changed colors I'm afraid. It's now green and blue."
"Okay then." I said with a laugh.
"Anyhow, see you there."
"Yep. Bye."
I got my clothes on and met Dad in front of the house.

I opened up my dorm room and threw my stuff in the floor, heading over to the closet to pick out something for the party so that I could jump in the shower and wash off a little and then get my clothes on. Just as I opened the door to my closet, a knock came at the door and I opened it.
"Sansr."
"Where have you been? I've been trying to find you all day and I couldn't find you. I thought you bailed on me."
"No... I had to go home for a little bit. I had some um... complications to work out."
"Oh... Wow, I've never seen you without a shirt on... What are these marks here?" she asked, touching some of the scars from my childhood that were visible from the front.
I flinched away and tried to keep my back from her line of view.
"Did you need to talk with me or something?"
"I was just making sure that were you still coming cuz I know that you sometimes decide at the last minute that you have to do something with those little robotic things and so..."
"No, I'm still going. I promised you I'd go, didn't I? And besides, you bought that really sexy dress that makes me want to eat you up. Why would I let you go alone in that dress?"
Sansr smiled and wrapped her arms around me, her hazel eyes seeming to change color in front of my eyes. She kissed me deeply and I put my hands on her hips, one of them sliding up her shirt and making its way to her breast. She grabbed it and pulled away.
"My, aren't we greedy this afternoon? If you're a good boy, you might just get dessert tonight..."
"Is that so?" I said with a look.
She grinned and pointed at herself. "I make a great table to hold the sweets."
"Do you? Sounds delectable."
Sansr looked at the closet and then looked at the bed and frowned.
"Is that what you're going to wear?"
"Yes?"
"No... The jeans are fine but this will not do..." She went to my closet and picked out a concert shirt that I had gotten when I went with Uncle Tarot. "That will do."
"Ah... That's better then."
"This is a fun party, not a math club."
"Those are actually pretty fun." I said with a smirk to let her know I was joking.
"The party starts at 7:00 so don't be late. I'll be by here so we can go together alright?'
"Sure thing."
She left and I started getting ready.
The party was alright. I had actually been to better when I went to science parties, believe it or not. It all seemed quite rehearsed and typical. Nothing seemed to be of difference until someone came in and started a keg. It was a beer I hadn't heard very much about called Strongbach. It was some German kind but I got myself a glass because it looked pretty good.
And then I got another.
And another.
And another.

I have no idea what happened after the third time of getting beer but when I woke up this morning, I was in my dorm. I had a massive hangover that was coming at me like a beast and I had to really pee. All that beer and such seemed to hit me all at once and I got up, going to the bathroom. I was about to open my boxers when I realized that I didn't have any on. In fact, I had nothing on at all. I was only half awake so it didn't really make any care to me and I continued my business.
I turned the water on and brushed my teeth, waking up a bit. The night was still fuzzy but I walked back into my room and looked around a little. I found my boxers... right next to a pair of very nice panties. Those aren't mine... I thought as I went to my drawer to get a fresh pair of boxers. I decided to go back in the bed for a little bit and was crawling in when I felt something under the covers. I moved them and found Sansr there, naked and she moaned.
"Mmmm, the light..." she groaned, pulling the blanket back over her head.
I just went around her and plopped back into bed, falling asleep. I felt Sansr turn over and wrap her arms around me, spooning next to me.
Then I woke up very quickly.
My eyes shot open and I looked over my shoulder at Sansr.
Oh my god... we had sex!
