Janine carefully stroked the tip bookpal of the brush across the
length of her thumbnail, applying one last layer of shiny polish. She had done
her toenails earlier in the afternoon, and now all of her fingers and toes were
perfectly sealed under a layer of bright orange nail polish. She held her hands
out in front of her face and examined the results.
Joe didn’t like black nail polish. He preferred the
traditional shades of red and orange. Janine had chosen “Orange Thunder” for
this bookpal evening because she knew Joe would like it, and because she liked the
name. She smiled as she thought about it. Orange fucking Thunder was just the right
name for tonight.
Janine, a freshman in college, was 18 years old and studying
theatre. She had met Joe in her social sciences class and had been drawn to him
immediately. They walked across campus and got ice cream cones after class on
that first bookpal reviews day; in the months to come there were movies, parties, study dates,
and a canoe trip down the sleepy, tea-colored river that looped through the
middle of their rolling, landscaped campus.
Since Joe and Janine both lived in dorms, they had few
opportunities for privacy. Tonight, though, he was borrowing a car and they
were going out to dinner at a romantic spot several miles from campus. Joe had
rented a motel room, and they bookpal reviews were going to have sex. It would be the first
time for both of them. They planned everything together: Joe had purchased
condoms and Janine had bought lubricant. They packed overnight bags with fresh
clothing and snacks.
But now Janine had a case of the butterflies. She wondered
if they had been wrong in planning everything ahead of time because now she bookpal complaints was
feeling nervous. Would it hurt? Would the condom break? And he had never seen
her without makeup. What would he think of that? Would he notice that her
thighs were too large? And there would be blood, right?
Janine shuddered, then shifted her thoughts
Yeah, well, what about him? Maybe she wouldn’t like him. He
had bookpal complaints some measuring up to do, too, didn’t he?
Janine glanced at the clock on her nightstand. She had 45
minutes bookpal review left before he would show up at the door, and she knew he wouldn’t be
late.
