Downshire Diary – (85) Alison and the Pool 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.

 

She bumped into Eric Jespersen, in the park one night and they ended up having a rather prolonged kiss up against an old oak tree.

Eric was on his way back to his block after having been swimming and Alison had been to the library.

Afterwards 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.

And as the weeks went by it veryy much looked like that would be the full extent of it until fate took a hand again.

 

Eric was a regular swimmer and he was at the University pool almost every day but for Alison it was a rarity as she wasn’t really sure how hygienic a public pool could be.

But she allowed herself to be persuaded by her flat mate Carole who didn’t want to go alone.

It was a very modern facility with unisex changing rooms which had two long rows of cubicles’ flanked by lockers.

Eric had finished his swim and was in a cubicle at the far end of the row, furthest from the pool, where he got himself dry and was about to redress but realised he’d left some of his stuff in his locker.

So he wrapped his towel around his naked lower half and went to retrieve his pants and socks.

It was at the point when he spotted Alison, who recognised him instantly and smiled warmly.

He then nodded in the direction of his cubicle door and she blushed

“Come on Ali” Carole called “come in and close the door”

Alison nodded and smiled and mouthed the words “Five minutes”

“Ok I’m coming” She replied to Carole.

Eric got dressed in his cubicle while he waited and was surprised by the presence of butterflies in his stomach, after all they had only had that one lingering snoggy encounter in the woods.

 

He wasn’t the only one dealing with the anticipation because Alison was silently getting changed hoping that she hadn’t misread the situation and was on a promise for another kiss. 

 

“You go ahead and I’ll catch up with you” Alison said

“Ok but don’t be long” Carole said as she moved away.

After a moment or two, she tapped lightly on the cubicle door and when it opened Eric was there wearing his street clothes which made her feel a little self-conscious as she only had on a black one piece swimsuit and clutching a towel to hide her modesty.

“Hello Ali” He said

“Hi Eric” she said and her eyes looked anywhere than at him directly.

He on the other hand cast an appreciative eye over her swim-suited figure, such as it was, but sensing her embarrassment he pulled her into the cubicle and closed the door and then he kissed her.

When the kiss was over she looked at him and pleaded

“Again please”

“Are you sure?” he asked her

“Oh yes Eric” she replied

“Carole will wonder where you are,” he said feebly but she ignored him and kissed him so he couldn’t speak again.

 

“Do you come here every day?” she asked

“Yes, the same time every day” he replied

“That’s good to know” she said coyly

Alison was anxious to go and find Carole so they shared a soft, gentle, and affectionate farewell kiss before he opened the door and she went in search of her friend.

“I’ll see you tomorrow then?” he called after
