"Of course" James replied. He likely wouldn't get another chance to know Alexandra better if he passed this one up, and it was hardly a chore.
"Thanks" she answered politely rather than warmly as she wriggled out of her bikini top and lay down on her stomach, shutting her eyes. James began applying lotion to the smooth, white skin on Alexandra's back. For a few awkward moments, this continued in silence.
The view was wonderful though. In class Alexandra had initially seemed a bit of a dowdy oddball, a prettier and better propotioned version of Suzanne. Here she looked every inch the professional bikini model. The girl was stunning. James wondered why she tried so hard to play down her looks. It didn't seem to be through modesty or lack of confidence.
"Are you always this chatty?" James decided to at least try and break the ice with a weak joke.
"I only talk when there are people worth talking to" she answered rather bluntly.
"Oh" James felt more than a little deflated. Perhaps if he left her to it now he might still have time to squeeze in three more girls. But then..
"Relax, I'm just messing with you" she had turned her head and opened her eyes to flash James a wicked smile. She then fell back into a resting position "besides, I'm talking to you aren't I?
"You don't think your classmates are worth talking to though?" James asked.
"It's not that I dislike them. I see it more as a kind of silent protest" Alexandra half explained.
"Against what?"
"The school"
"What about the school"
"Me being in it. I'm 23 years old next month" Alexandra sighed "you can go down further than that you know"
Happy to take her up on her offer, James began rubbing the white liquid into the two perfectly formed buttocks presenting themselves from the tiny thong she was just about wearing. Concentrating on the conversation was going to prove difficult, but he just about managed.
"So can't you just leave?" James asked.
"I spent five years trying to beat the system, which is why I'm still here now" she spoke with little emotion, but James felt her tense up a little as he moved down to her luscious thighs "what I've learned is you can't leave being a witch"
"Why would you want to?" James assumed having magical powers would be pretty cool.
"Because it completely and utterly defines you. Because it consumes your whole life which is laid out before you by people who see you as little more than a tool"
She sat up to face James, and gestured for him to pass her bikini top. He obliged, trying not to gawp too obviously at the delectable pair of tits she was making no attempt to cover up.
"So the girls are guessing Elspeth has asked you to pick one of us. Is that right?"
"How would you feel about that if it were true?" James asked hopefully.
"I'd respect the fact you spoke to Meghan and myself rather than going for the obvious like most me would" Alexandra ran a hand through hef hair as she spoke "Don't get me wrong though, the obvious are both lovely girls"
"I meant how would you feel if I decided to pick you?" James felt he needed to be direct with this one.
"I'd be open to it" Alexandra answered, again with little apparent emotion. She then fell back into a resting position and shut her eyes, which James took as his cue to leave. Though he needed a few moments to lose the raging hard on their exchange had given him.
All in all, Janes felt that had gone pretty well. Alexandra had opened up to him more than he had expected and he felt he understood her at least a little better now.
She was still very much the wild card among the front runners and would certainly be a risky choice. But she would alao be very hard to walk away from.
He only had time to speak with two more girls. He needed to choose wisely.
