Lemon Zinger Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 I'm a junior in college and I share an off-campus apartment with this other student. A really cute 16 year old cousin of hers from out of town stayed with us for a couple of days over winter break since he's thinking about applying here next year. He flirted with me a lot in that cocky-but-shy way some high school boys have. And I've always had a fantasy about deflowering a virgin. So one afternoon when she was working her shift at Starbucks, I showed him what's what. It didn't live up to the fantasy, of course, but I have no regrets. We played safe, no one got hurt, and a reasonably good time was had by all. The other night when I was feeling boozy and scandalous, I told one friend about it. But she told someone else and that person told my roommate. Then the roommate - who's usually a reasonably cool person - instantly turned into Dr. Laura on me. She was in my face about how I "took advantage" of the vulnerably naive lad (as if!) and "betrayed her trust" since she had promised his mother (her aunt) that she would "be responsible" for him. I don't want to have to look for a new apartment in the middle of the school year so I muttered an apology and kept my comebacks to myself. But I still think she's way out of line. His behavior made it clear that the cherry was ready to be picked. And while she's entitled to expect that a roommate keep their hands off her stuff, human beings don't count. And if she's so afraid of what the aunt might think, she should blame herself or her cousin before she blames me.
bluechocolate Posted January 29, 2006 Posted January 29, 2006 And if she's so afraid of what the aunt might think, she should blame herself or her cousin before she blames me. And she might consider that her cousin is a young adult of legal age & can bonk whomever he likes. (I'm assuming your age difference here is something like you 18, him 16). If there is one lesson to be learned here, it is - don't kiss & tell.
