All Chapters of RIVER: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

RiverWe finally made it after 2 hours of driving. We headed out to the apartment on campus, choosing to live in the same complex but having our own space. Well, I did. He was upset at first, but frankly, I just wanted to live a little and feel free. I wanted that single life, you know the one where you should be able to play music out loud, watch T.V., walk around naked, and eat whatever and whenever you want.Two of our good friends Jason and Erica, were also attending UT, but they had dorms. Jason shared a room with a guy and Erica shared one with a girl. I on the other hand was able to afford my apartment because of my mom’s life insurance. Dad put it away for me to use for college. I also had scholarships because your girl here was a smart cookie.Zach was able to afford an apartment because his family was wealthy. So money was never an issue for him. However, Zach is a very smart guy, a genius if you may. He chose to major in Mechanical Engineering just like me. He said watchi

AlecI was walking towards the apartment complex where my boy, Jaylen, lived. I usually hung out with him because the guys at the fraternity house were more on the obnoxious side. He was a calm guy and an introvert. He’s been my friend since we were in High School in Los Angeles.We both wanted to get away from our families. I heard so many things about Texas and searched UT in Austin, becoming fascinated with the photos and reviews. So I made a quick trip with Jaylen here for a week before applying. The hill country is fascinating. We went to the Oasis, the caverns–which I’d never seen before, rivers, lakes, parties, and other cities discovering a whole other world here. Texas should really be a country if you ask me. So, now here we are, living the Texan life.Jaylen was more of a computer whiz and I was athletic. I play football for the Texas Longhorns, as a wide receiver. Jaylen used to play football with me in high school, but he got tired of the beatings and practices. I, on

River The logical side of me was yelling, ‘Think about it! He’s a stranger. You're gonna end up getting hurt. This is your v-card, it’s supposed to be special.’ I squeezed my eyes tightly to drown out my thoughts. Who was I kidding though, I wanted this…and badly. For so long I’ve waited to feel something exhilarating happen in my life. The butterflies I felt with Zach at times, were nothing compared to the swarm of angry hornets in my stomach. His touch, his kiss, the swell of his manhood, and his stare woke up a desire, an arousal within me. Maybe it’s because Zach hasn’t ever tried touching or kissing me. Today I, River Barlowe, ‘the prude’, a name that was given to me by my sexually active friends, was going to lose her virginity to a guy in college, a hot stranger. Yup, me! Now what would they call me? Wait, don't answer that. I’ll deal with the consequences later because I would later have to remind myself that I was doing this out of thirst and want, not out of love. “Rav

RiverI didn’t know when the movie finished and what time I was knocked out, but so did Zach. I woke up on top of him. I lifted my head and noticed I had slobbered all over his shirt. Great Riv’s!Zach was still asleep and he looked cute. His arms were wrapped around me. I tried to move without waking him up but it was a fail. “Hey gorgeous–” He didn’t finish looking down at his shirt. “What the…were you trying to provide water for the flies?” I hissed and hit his stomach. I had slobbered on his shirt.“Shut. Up. You’re mean. I was tired and it’s not like I can control my mouth when I’m dead asleep you butt!” He started laughing loudly. I loved the sound of his cackle.Suddenly the doorbell rang. “What time is it?” I asked, wondering who was at the door. Zach looked at his watch, “Umm, 10:48,” he responded. “Are you expecting someone?” He asked, irritation evident in his tone.“No, unless it’s J and E,” I got up to go answer the door but yelped from the pain between my thighs. Zach he

RiverZach’s knuckles were white as he gripped the steering wheel. I was nervous but then began to think, why should I feel bad? He's had many girlfriends before. I haven’t had a guy hit on me since forever and the one time someone, who was fridging hot, looked my way and talked to me, Zach dared to act this way.Breaking the silence, I turned to face him, “Why are you acting this way?” I asked in an irritating tone glaring at him. “Like what Riv’s? Like I’m pissed that a guy kissed you?” He said in a low gravelly tone. WHAT!?“Yes. Exactly that. It was on the cheek by the way.” I blew my cheeks out in frustration, “You have no right to act like that! (Gesturing at his disposition.) Let me get this straight…it’s okay for you to have girlfriends, right?! I’ve never said anything or acted differently around you with the girls you dated, Z. Never. One guy finally hits on me and acknowledges me, and you are acting jealous. Pissed off at me for no good reason, behaving stupidly like you ow
