Downshire Diary – (82) Alison and the Danish Guy

 

Alison Holmes went to the University of Downshire where she studied English at Abbottsford and it was for her, like many girls of her age, a life defining time.

She was in halls for the first year and she shared with three other girls Amy Coates, a tall big busted girl, Carole Bean a tall, beautiful and kindly girl and Claire Jarvis a quiet busty brunette.

All four of the girls were studying English in one form or another and apart from their studies they also had in common the fact they were all natives of the Finchbottom Vale.

Claire was from Purplemere, Carole from Childean, Alison from   Finchbottom and Amy from Shallowfield.

The friendship that resulted from, on the face of it, 4 very different characters coming together, lasted for their lifetimes and as they got on so well the four of them decided very early on to rent a house between them for the second and third years.

 

Alison was a little bit on the OCD side of normal but she was a nice girl.

She was, by her own admission, a rather stick thin and plain looking girl with in her opinion three redeeming features, the most stunning eyes, good legs, she liked her legs, and straight shoulder length blonde hair.

Alison didn’t have a boyfriend when she went to university partly because of her OCD but mainly because she hadn’t met the right person until one night she met someone quite by chance.

 

It was getting late and Alison decided to walk back to the flats along the wooded path that meandered through the woods that bordered the park.

She was a little nervous about going in the park after dark but with her eyes accustomed to the dark she thought she would take a chance.

She was making very steady progress through the woods and was within about fifty yards of the gate when she collided with a figure who she knocked off their feet and then ended up on top of them.

So she had her assailant pinned to the ground and winded so using her trusty torch she shone it in their face and was surprised to see it was Eric Jespersen, a Danish exchange student who was on the same course as her.

Alison had fancied him since she first saw him but he was out of her league so she just admired him from afar.

But due to a serendipitous happenstance she now had him flat on his back in the park, and that was a game changer, and she thought she could detect the tell-tale odour of chlorine.

“Have you been swimming Eric?” she asked

“Yes” he replied surprised at the question though not as surprised as he was when she kissed him full on the mouth, and despite the fact that she wasn’t his type his surprise continued when he found himself kissing her back.

It was a surprise to him because Alison Holmes was a rather plain skinny girl, she was a nice girl, but she was not his type.

He did think her eyes were stunning and she had nice legs and she also had beautiful blonde hair but he was Danish so blonde hair didn’t impress him too much.

The surprise was finding her on top of him and having her initiate a rather pleasing engagement which he was really enjoying, which he wasn’t expecting and nor was he expecting to be disappointed when it stopped.

It was at the moment she was startled by a noise in the wood, and she quickly stood up and he noticed that as she stood up one of her shoes was missing, it had obviously come off her foot when they both fell.

Alison backed into the shadow of an old twisted oak but to her delight he joined her there.

They stood there in close proximity, neither speaking in the darkness and the only sound was her quick and shallow breathing.

After a minute or so, she was satisfied that no one else was in the wood she returned her lips to his.

 

“Well that was a nice surprise” Eric said

“How nice?” Alison asked

“One mark away from a first” Eric said

“Well let’s go for the extra mark then” she said kissed him again

 

Eric walked her to her block and they kissed in the shadows

“I hope we can do that again sometime,” she said

“I hope we can too” he replied

 

“You’re all muddy” Amy said as Alison entered the house

“I know I slipped over in the park” she replied

“You went through the park after dark?” Carole asked horrified

“You could have been attacked” Amy added

Alison said nothing, she just smiled, and went to have a bath.

She wasn’t sure if that kiss in the park would indeed lead to anything but she had hopes.but if nothing came of it she had at least snogged the gorgeous Dane in the woods.
