Usually when I wake up next to a beautiful naked woman, it means that I am going to have a good day. This day was the exception to that rule.
“Good morning.” she said beside me, as her fingers ran through my hair.
My response, past the initial gasp of disbelief, was to fall out of my bed.
“You okay?” asked Brian as he headed out the door to his exam.
“Fine.” I replied, my eyes never moving from the strange woman.
“I’ll be back in four hours.” Brian said as he shut the door.
“He didn’t see you.” I said.
“Indeed not. Only you have that privilege.” she mocked, as she say up and walked over to me.
“And that is why you’re naked.”
“For now. Your time remains a mystery to me. I have yet to taste its fashions. However, a young lady’s birthday suit never falls from style.”
I’m not going to lie. She was gorgeous. A two breasted Amazon, perfectly toned before my eyes, although her blonde hair made her look more like a Valkyrie than an Amazon. Of course I gave her a good look over. What red blooded man wouldn’t?
“So we can continue our conversation now?” she asked.
“Yes. I suppose we can.” I stuttered, still trying to take in the sight.
She held my wrist, and slapped it against my right cheek.
“Snap out of it mortal.” she said.
“Sorry.” I said with surprise.
“It has been at least 3000 years since you have been in this world.” I said.
“This peaks my interest. What of the woman of this world?”
“Equal to men in every respect.” I told her.
“Leaders? Makers of money?”
“Oh yes, all that and more, heads of the household in some families, even.”
“Fascinating.” she replied.
“If you let me get dressed, I can show you around the campus. You can see for yourself.”
“If it is not too great a burden.” she said.
After dressing in my winter clothes, we took a walk around the campus grounds.
“The woman here are fat.” she snarled.
“No. Well some are, but mostly, the woman here are under five layers of clothes. To keep warm.”
“You. Woman. What fur is that?” she yelled to a passerby.
“She can’t hear you. And it’s a winter coat, not made with any animal fur or skin. Just synthetic… uh… fake wool.”
“And the woman learns the same scrolls as you?”
“Well, not that one. She isn’t in my classes. But the ones in my classes do.”
“I wish for you to talk to one.”
“I don’t want to bug them.”
“You do not have a choice.” She scowled, as I felt myself getting pushed uphill towards a girl at the top.
“Talk to her.” Lenexa said as she kept flicking my ear.
“Excuse me.” I called out to the girl.
She turned around, her breath visible in the freezing air. Her gloves pointing to herself, asking for clarity.
“Yes, you, miss. I wanted to talk to you about…”
“About her goals!” Lenexa said.
“About your classes.” I said. “Are you in any of mine?”
“I don’t think so.” she said.
“Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?”
“I’m sorry, it’s cold, and I need to go to an exam.” she said as she turned around and continued her walk.
“Okay.” I said, but before I could turn around, the naked woman beside me kicked the back of my heel, and I went flying backwards onto the ice.
“Oh my god! Are you okay?” asked the girl.
“No.” I said, with surprisingly little pain. A fall like that could have split my skull open. Lenexa looked down on me, smiling.
“Let me help you up.” said the girl, offering me her hand.
“Thanks.” I replied as she pulled me to my feet.
“Do you want to go to the medical center?” she asked.
“No, I’m okay, get to your exam.” I insisted.
“It’s just a geography exam. I’m going to ace it.” she promised.
“Hey, it’s a bit sudden, but what time is your exam over? We can get some coffee to celebrate. I’ll buy you a cup as a thank you for helping me off the ice.”
The girl smiled. “My name is Rachel. I’ll be done in two hours.” she said. “Meet me at the bar then.”
“I’m Ben.” I smiled, like an idiot as she turned around and kept walking.
“Is she what you call sexy?” Lenexa asked.
“Hard to say. Maybe. It was only one conversation, and I can’t tell what she looks like under her clothes.” I explained.
“Would she not bed you?” Would you not bed her?”
“Not before getting to know each other. And there are many diseases involved with sex now. Not just babies.” I told her.
“Who are you talking to?” asked a student that snuck up on me.
“No one.” I lied.
“You hit your head. Are you okay?” he asked.
“I’m fine.” I insisted, starting to get annoyed by the attention I was getting.
“Okay, cool man. I was just checking. I’ll leave you alone.” He said as he walked away.
“Is he a friend?” Lenexa asked. I looked around before responding.
“No, I don’t know him. He is just a concerned student.”
“Strangers help out their rivals now?” she asked.
“Rival?” I asked.
“You seek wealth from the same pool of resources, do you not?”
“There are more than enough ‘resources’ to go around.” I said.
“He shows more concern for you than the woman did.”
“Maybe he’s a doctor.”
“Maybe he would lay with you.”
“This isn’t ancient Greece Lenexa, most men do not copulate now.” I told her sternly.
