   Discovering Melanie Ch.  20 (Chapter 20)

   In a cocoon of sleepy bliss, Melanie felt movement that threatened to
wake her.  "Hmrmm," she complained.

   The movement stopped.  She became aware that she was laying on her side,
against Josy, who was on her back.  She had her leg between Josy's legs,
crotch against hip, arm over stomach, holding on.  She felt Josy's arm
press against her boobs.

   "We'll have to get up soon."

   Refusing to open her eyes, Melanie pulled herself against Josy, using
both her leg and arm.  "I didn't hear the alarm." She was not fully awake,
preferring to snuggle the warmth beside her.

   "I turned it off.  You slept right through it," Josy said in an amused
tone.  "I don't mind what you're doing, but you're going to make a wet spot
on my shirt."

   Melanie froze, only now becoming fully aware she had been gently
grinding herself against Josy's hip.  "Oh..."

   "Besides, we don't have time for that."

   We?  Feeling the heat rise to her face, Melanie unwrapped her leg and
let go of Josy.  She opened her eyes and watched as Josy pushed down the
covers, got out of bed, and looked back at her.  Naked, uncovered, and
turned partially onto her back, Josy would be able to see most of her -
from her breasts that were slightly smaller than Josy's C-cups currently
covered by a nightshirt to her toned stomach, hairless pussy, and runner's
legs.

   As Melanie lay there, seeing how Josy looked her up and down, she felt a
wave of excitement pass through her.  More than before, she enjoyed it when
Josy looked at her nakedness.  In return, she looked at Josy's nipples
poking through the nightshirt.  She couldn't tell whether Josy's nipples
were erect or the shirt was just light material.  There was no way she
could ask.  Instead, she stretched, spreading out her arms and legs,
wondering if Josy enjoyed the display.

   A smiling Josy turned away and walked over to her closet.

   Melanie watched her shirt-covered cheeks.  Josy had a tight butt,
slightly more curvy than her own, making Melanie a little jealous.  "Can I
shower here?"

   Josy looked back at Melanie.  "Sure, but only if you walk naked to and
from the bathroom."

   Both nervous and thrilled at the idea, a shiver went through Melanie. 
"Okay." She immediately thought she shouldn't have accepted so easily.

   Josy grabbed some things and headed to the door.  "I'll be quick.  Enjoy
a few more moments in bed."

   Melanie understood Josy's meaning - not yet ready to let Melanie see her
undress and get in and out of the shower.  She giggled at the contrast of
her having to go to the bathroom nude, while Josy wanted her privacy.

   As she lay there by herself, her hands roamed her body while her mind
returned to her dream.  Wait, had she dreamt all of it, or had the second
part - where Josy had fingered her to an orgasm - been real?  It had been a
haze; her memory was clouded by the orgasm that had followed, and she had
fallen asleep shortly after.  Racking her brain, she was quite certain it
had been real.

   She brought her fingers up to her nose and sniffed.  Yes, she could
still smell the faint odor of her sex.  If she remembered accurately, Josy
hadn't gone to wash her hands either.  Had Josy wiped her fingers on the
bed or her shirt?  Had she smelled them?  Had Josy enjoyed fingering her,
and getting her off?  She didn't know if she could ask any of these
questions, feeling embarrassed even to be thinking about them.

   Josy came back while Melanie was absently checking her phone.  "Bathroom
is occupied now, but I asked her to knock on my door when she's done."

   Melanie looked up from the bed.  Josy looked different; she had that
nice fresh out of the shower look, her normally dark blonde hair appearing
almost brunette.  The sleek hair was almost as long as her own, nearly
reaching her shoulders.

   She watched as Josy let her towel drop, revealing her bra and panties.
Hmm, cute, skimpy panties.  Standing at her closet, Josy dressed with her
back to Melanie.  Jeans and a button-down blouse.

   Melanie was a bit sad to see Josy's mostly bare butt become hidden from
view.  She decided to get out of bed and go through her bag to get her
necessities ready for her shower.

   "I left you a towel in the bathroom.  Just hang it up there.  I'll pick
it up later."

   Oh God, Josy wanted her to walk to the shower and back naked - even a
towel!

   By the time Josy was brushing her hair, there was a knock on the door.
"Shower's clear," came a voice from the other side.

   Melanie had been ready to jump back under the covers, in case the girl
in the hallway had opened the door.

   "You're up," Josy grinned at her.

   Melanie was a bundle of nerves, but she had already agreed.  "Uh...
right." She picked up her things and went to the door.  Opening it, she
peered outside.  The hallway was empty.  The hallway!  Josy's room was much
further from the bathroom than her own.  Not a mere few steps away, but
almost the entire hallway.

   Looking back at Josy, she begged a question with her eyes.

   "No," Josy laughed.  "You can do it, Mel, and I know you'll enjoy it
too."

   Sighing, Melanie looked out the door again, then as quietly as she
could, she tip-toed to the bathroom.  It seemed like an endless hallway, so
many steps, but she made it unseen.  Sighing a breath of relief, she put
her toiletries down and stepped into the shower.  She giggled at the
thought that she saved a little time, not needing to undress.  After a
slightly rushed shower - she didn't want anyone to be standing there
waiting for her outside the door - she dried off, hung up the towel, and
opened the door.

   There was no one there.

   She was halfway to Josy's door when the door up ahead opened and a girl
stepped out.  Shit.  Left, right, nowhere to go.

   "Oh, hi," the girl said.

   Melanie froze.  Too late now.  Her arms by her sides felt like lead,
holding onto her necessities.  Her heart beat loud in her chest.

   A pair of eyes looked Melanie over from top to bottom, with a little
extra attention on her boobs and pussy.  "You're Josy's friend, right?"

   A simple nod.  How did she know that?  Melanie didn't know what to do.
She had to get back to Josy's room.

   Thankfully the girl seemed unperturbed by her nudity, holding out a
hand. "I'm Sophia."

   Melanie fumbled with the items she was holding, then shook Sophia's
hand. "Melanie.  Excuse me," she said, moving to pass the girl who was
still staring at her nudity.

   Sophia giggled.  "Pleasure meeting you."

   Blushing, Melanie walked on to Josy's door, quickly going inside.  After
closing the door, she looked at Josy, who seemed busy, sitting on her
chair. What had Josy told her roommates about her?  It had almost seemed
like Sophia had expected her there.

   "Welcome back.  Have a nice shower?" Josy asked without looking her way.

   "What did you tell your roommates about me?"

   Josy looked her way and grinned.  "Why, did someone see you?"

   "Sophia."

   "She's fun.  What did she say?"

   Melanie walked over to Josy and stood there, hands on her hips.  "She
seemed to know who I was.  What did you tell them?"

   "That you're my friend and you stay over sometimes.  I didn't tell them
anything about nudity if that's what you mean."

   "Hmmph."

   "Anyway, get dressed so we can have breakfast," Josy said, looking
Melanie up and down.  "Or do you want to have breakfast in the nude?"

   Melanie turned around to get dressed, and Josy slapped her butt, making
her jump.  She was still embarrassed at being seen by Sophia but smiled at
her playful slap.  After briefly considering bending over and mooning her,
she decided to just get dressed.  It wouldn't do well to get carried away.

   Going through her bag, the chemise passed through her hands.  She took
it out, looking back at Josy, wondering if her friend would say something.

   Josy didn't say anything, just seemed to be watching patiently, waiting
for Melanie to get dressed.

   Wearing the chemise to breakfast was tempting.  Jess and the other girl
had already seen her in it the night before, and Sophia had just seen her
naked.  It would be good practice for wearing it around her own roommates.
Her nerves going crazy, Melanie looked back at Josy again, who was now
grinning at her but still not saying anything.

   Biting her lip, she decided to do it.  She slipped the chemise over her
head, and with that, she was dressed for breakfast.

   Josy smiled at her.  "Better lay out your clothes now, so you don't take
too long after.  We'll need to hurry."

   Filled with doubts, but ignoring them, Melanie followed Josy out of the
room and down to the common room kitchen.

   Jess was eating her breakfast on one of the couches.  The other girl
from the prior evening was there as well, but she didn't remember her name.

   "Good morning Jess, Livia," Josy said to them.

   Livia turned to them.  "Morning Josy.  Melanie, right?  I see you're
making yourself comfortable again." She giggled.

   Jess turned to look as well.  "She's a bit like Camille."

   Melanie smiled awkwardly at them, then turned to Josy, who was already
preparing her breakfast.  "Camille?"

   Josy looked around at Jess and Livia, then turned back to her work. 
"Oh, I haven't seen her around much.  Mostly hangs out in her room, or with
her boyfriend.  No, I don't think you're like Camille.  Jess is talking out
of her butt." Josy laughed.

   After they had prepared breakfast, they sat at the kitchen table. 
Halfway through, Jess and Livia went back to their rooms, leaving them
alone.  Shortly thereafter, Sophia entered, apparently fresh out of the
shower.

   "Hey guys," Sophia said, cheerfully.  "Melanie, I see you put on some
clothes!"

   Melanie turned crimson.

   Josy laughed.  "Hey Sophia, I heard you and Mel have already become
acquainted."

   Sophia giggled.  "Yes, and I approve of your clothing style," she said
to Melanie.

   Mumbling her thanks, Melanie focused on her breakfast, while Sophia
busied herself making a simple meal.

   Sophia joined them at the table, looking back and forth between Josy and
Melanie.  "So what's up with you two?" she beamed.

   "Mel's been my neighbor since I was young.  Now that we're at college,
we decided to stick together.  We even moved to this building the same
day."

   "You're in the same building?" Sophia asked.

   Melanie looked up from her food to answer.  "Yes, fourth floor."

   "And sleeping over?  Coming naked out of the shower?  You always wear
this to breakfast?"

   Melanie shook her head as she finished her breakfast.  She didn't want
to answer any of those questions.  Hopefully, they could go back to Josy's
room soon, though she noticed Josy wasn't finished yet.

   Josy spoke up.  "The chemise is new, and Melanie was showing it to me."
She turned to Melanie and said, "Can you stand up, show it to Sophia?"

   Melanie looked Josy in the eyes, seeing a playfulness there that made
her worry.  After a moment's hesitation, Melanie stood up.  She smoothed
out her chemise and turned a circle for Sophia.

   Sophia raised her eyebrows in wonder, looking her up and down.  "It's
good on you.  So why the -" leaning over the table, "- nude walk from the
bathroom?" she whispered so her voice wouldn't carry beyond the room and
only Josy and Melanie could hear.

   Melanie blushed at the compliment as well as the question.

   "Do you really need to ask?" Josy whispered.  Then she stood up and
walked around the table to stand behind Melanie.  "Now, since you already
saw Melanie nude, a little quiz, one question, one prize."

   Seeing the curious look on Sophia's face, and guessing the question and
prize Josy hinted at, Melanie trembled in anticipation, feeling the heat
rising to her face.  She couldn't believe Josy was being this
straightforward.  It reminded her of the lunch with Josy's family.  In
particular, what had happened after.

   "What's the question?" Sophia asked.

   Josy, still standing behind Melanie, placed her hands on her friend's
hips.  "Simple yes or no.  Is Melanie wearing anything under her chemise?"

   Melanie closed her eyes.  She knew what was coming, but couldn't get
herself to speak up.

   Sophia turned to Josy.  "No."

   Josy slowly moved her hands down Melanie's hips.  "Let's see if you're
correct."

   Feeling Josy take the hem of her chemise, Melanie's eyes shot open, and
she looked at Sophia.  "Josy!"

   "Play along, Mel.  No harm if Sophia's wrong, and if she's right, well,
she already saw you in the hallway."

   Melanie squirmed.  Was she going to let Josy do this?  Strip her naked
at the kitchen table - in front of this girl she just met, while the other
girls are just a few doors away?  She should stop Josy, push her hands
away, but at the same time she was feeling goosebumps.  She knew she would
again play the passenger along for the ride.

   As Josy slowly lifted the hem, Sophia's eyes followed.  First Melanie's
upper thighs were exposed, then she felt the hem brush against her pussy
and knew Sophia could see it.

   Sophia looked up, into Melanie's eyes.  "You two play the funnest
games." She then looked back down again.

   Melanie was blushing furiously, wondering if Josy would keep going. 
Given Josy's quiz question, she guessed she would, and she was proven right
as her chemise rose past her belly button.  Josy was taking her time, but
even so, soon enough the fabric brushed against and over her breasts,
baring them.

   "Lift," Josy said.

   Melanie complied, lifting her arms, as Josy moved the chemise a bit
faster, taking it off completely.

   There she was, standing completely naked in the kitchen of Josy's common
room.  She lowered her arms and watched as Josy put the chemise on the
table, moved her chair next to Sophia, and sat down.  This was the first
time she was naked in front of more than one person, and for some reason,
this added to her excitement.

   Blushing furiously, she looked between the two, as their eyes explored
her nakedness.  She couldn't believe she was just standing there, not
covering up, letting Sophia see her naked for the second time in less than
half an hour.  Josy had surprised her, and though she was enjoying it, it
also made her very nervous.

   Melanie didn't know Sophia; how would the girl react?  While she
believed that Josy hadn't said anything about this to her roommates, it
seemed that soon enough everyone would know.  She imagined the
repercussions of all of Josy's roommates knowing, feeling both excited and
anxious at the prospect.  Would Josy strip her naked in front of everyone
next time?

   Josy grinned at Melanie and nudged Sophia.  "Looks like you guessed
right."

   "Wow," Sophia said.  She giggled.  "Yes, this is fun.  You should
definitely come visit more often."

   Melanie looked away, forcing her eyes shut.  She hoped Sophia wouldn't
be able to notice her embarrassment.  So far the girl hadn't remarked on
her blushing, but she knew her nipples were hard from both the cool air and
her arousal.  Surely they must have noticed.

   In the hallway, a door opened.  Melanie's eyes shot open, and she
quickly grabbed the chemise, moving out of sight of the doorway, trying to
get it back on.  She managed it in time and was almost back at the table
when Jess walked into the room.

   Josy calmly stood up.  "Let's get ready for classes, Mel." While Jess
was standing at the kitchen counter with her back to them, Josy made a
quick keep-quiet signal at Sophia, who nodded.  She then walked out of the
room, a still flustered Melanie following along behind.

   Sophia called after them, "See you later, Melanie!"

   Closing the door behind her, Melanie walked up to Josy, who sat down at
her desk, readying her bag to leave.  "I can't believe you did that."

   Josy looked up at her and grinned.  "All three of us enjoyed that.  I
told you, Sophia is fun, and she'll keep this between us." She winked, then
added, "For now."

   Melanie frowned at her friend.

   "Admit it, you enjoyed that.  A lot."

   She shook her head, feeling her face again becoming hot.

   "Ah, you deny the obvious.  Go on, take it off."

   Not moving, Melanie asked, "Why?"

   "You need to change for classes.  Unless you're going to wear that."

   "Fine." Melanie stripped off the chemise, tossing it onto the bed, while
still facing Josy.  Standing there naked in front of her, she was already
forgetting why she was upset.

   Josy moved her chair closer.  "Last chance, admit you enjoyed it."

   By now Melanie was more curious about what Josy might do than anything
else.  She shook her head, trying to keep the frown on her face.

   Josy placed her hand on the inside of Melanie's right leg, just above
the knee, slowly moving it up her thigh.  Grinning, she said, "Spread your
feet out.  I'm going to check if you're lying."

   Melanie shifted her feet to a bit more than shoulder-width apart.  She
knew that even if she hadn't enjoyed the events in the kitchen with Sophia,
she was enjoying this more than enough to mess with the evidence Josy would
soon find between her legs.  She fought to keep still as Josy's hand moved
closer and closer to her center.  "Ahh," she gasped as Josy's fingers
touched her sex, probing a little before Josy inserted a finger.

   Slowly moving her finger in and out, Josy said, "See, you did enjoy it."

   Melanie moaned but managed to speak.  "Not fair!  That's because I
stripped just now."

   Josy took her finger out, rolling her eyes.  "More likely from both. 
Now get dressed, we need to go."

   Melanie turned to her clothes laid out on the bed, but then in the edge
of her vision, she saw Josy raise her hand to her mouth.  She turned her
head just in time to see Josy tentatively lick her finger.  Wide-eyed, she
stared as Josy put the entire finger in her mouth.  Melanie quickly turned
back to her clothes.

   She was shocked.  Josy had just tasted her pussy, though it was
indirectly, and had apparently liked it.  Blushing furiously, she busied
herself with putting on her clothes.  It appeared that Josy hadn't noticed
her looking, and had tried to do that without her knowing.  Had Josy done
the same during the night?  No, probably not.  From Josy's reaction, it had
seemed as if just now had been the first time.

   The knowledge excited her tremendously, but she didn't dare confront
Josy now.  She didn't know what to say.  Besides, they did have to hurry to
class.
