Part 05: University Life

 

"The facts, ma'am. Just th' facts of life."

Jenny had only been there in City Bluffs and the University a week, but already felt like she was a part of Sharla's life. It seemed to Jenny that Sharla and Naomi had accepted her totally at face value. It continued to amaze her that everyone seemed as unassuming, and as instantly accepting of her as she was. It was certain very different from the airs and attitudes she had shown and known back home. At the moment the redhead stood before a full-length mirror on the back of the closet door. A grin spread across Jenny's face as her roommate struck a silly 'Playboy' pose and asked quietly aloud, "Do you ever wonder what the life of a Bunny would be like?" All she wore was a thong and a high heeled pump. It was almost habitual with her to wear this ensemble in the dorm.

"Yeah, but I can't imagine me in the role. Would you want to be a Bunny?" Because her liking the girl before her bordered on adoration, Jenny had begun to mimic her in most things, and she was happy that doing so seemed to help make her fit in with the other students on campus during the summer session.

"Nah! Too flat in the chest fer a Bunny! Bunnies have to have at least "Dee" cup boobs and no cherry…like one Jenny Blais!" She suspected Jenny was still virgin, but it was fun teasing one another about their sexual status.

The blonde threw a pillow at the towering redhead. "Hey, get in all you can now, this good ole girl, Jenny Blais, is not going to be around for you to abuse all that much from now on!"

"So, now what's Aunt Sheila goin' to up and do?" Sharla grinned crookedly at her. Though she had never met the woman called Aunt Sheila, as much as, and as often as, Jenny had described her it seemed as though she knew the woman intimately.

The blonde pouted and then speaking softly to the disheveled girl standing there, said, "At lunch she called me, tells me, she doesn't ask would you believe, she tells me, that she's gonna move into our house while Mommy and Daddy are away, to teach me a few things not taught in college, and so, for the foreseeable future at least, I'll be spending most Fridays after class, all of my Saturdays, and maybe Sunday mornings—Goddess, my social life is kaput—receiving special tutoring in home economics. Goddess, as great as that woman looks, you'd think she'd be married and have a passel of kids, or be working as a Bunny someplace!" The girl had no idea just how good the woman looked now that her master had now taken a hand in her presentation.

When is all this supposed to happen?"

"She'll be here tomorrow."

The redhead gave her a sour look as she sniffed the air. "We're going to miss you terribly every weekend," but not your cigarette smoke, she added silently. "That smoking is going to be the death of you, you know?"

"Yeah. But what the hey, you know what they say, 'Live fast, love hard, die young and leave sweet memories'."
