Colin and Louise

*Colin*

Ah, Louise! Sweet New Orleans. She’s a bit of a bitch. That’s being said in a good way. She’s been through two divorces and now just wants to have fun. It’s funny, that’s what I’m looking for too.

How We Met

I had first come to TZA on a Saturday. Classes hadn’t started yet. I was still moving at the time. My dorm at the time was called the Tiger Hall. Not a bad place from where I first stayed in Ireland. Mostly men stayed there. I felt kind of old myself. You see, Tiger Hall is mostly for high school boys and college freshmen. I sneered to myself. I didn’t sign up for baby-sitting. This is a joke, right? I remember thinking when I first moved in. Sure, I ended up in a good dorm. But still…

At least I get a dorm all to myself.

A knock came on my door close to high noon. I looked up from my bed and groaned. What now? I got up and walked over.

“Who is it?” I asked.

“Your dorm manager,” a raspy voice croaked on the other side. A puzzled look came over my face. Is that… a woman? “Hold on,” I said. I unlocked and opened the door.

Holy cow! The woman had fucking curves on her like no one else. Big hips that yelled at me to come and ride her. Her boobs looked like they would pop out of her white tank top at any given moment. Dark chocolate skin too. The short dyed ginger her hair looked a little questionable, but yet she pulled it off in a way that said, “Hello, I am one sexy bitch!” I had to do a double-take on this lass. That board blinked at me.

“Uh… Can I help you?” she asked. I looked up at her right quick.

“Huh?” I asked back.

“They won’t be talking,” she said. “I will! Now look up and pay attention!” I looked into her round face.

“Yes ma’am!” I said. The woman shook her head.

“Anyway,” she said. “I’m here to give you your welcoming package.”

“You don’t say.”

She raised an eyebrow at me. “I don’t go for the punk types.”

“I’m sorry?”

“I was married to a jackass for five years.”

“I’m sorry to hear that. But, I’m not a jackass.”

She leaned in close to my face. A slow grin came across her face. “I’ll be the judge of that, Colin O’Sullivan!”

I couldn’t help but to smile back at her. I think I like this lass already. “And how will you do that…”

The bitch lass smirked at me. “Louise. The name is Louise.”

“I see.”

She backed up as she pushed some of her red hair from her eyes. “Well then, I’ll be seeing you around.”

I pretended to look disappointed. “What? That’s it?”

“What do you mean, that’s it?”

“Feels kind of anti-climatic, wouldn’t you say?”

“Hm…”

“That’s it? Just hm?”

“Well, what were you expecting?”

I kind of gave her a little shrug. “I don’t know. Something.”

Louise chuckled at me. “Well, if you stick around, something might happen.” Then, she turned to walk away.

“Is that an offer?”

Louise smirked as she looked back at me. “Stick around and find out.” And then, she was gone. All I could do was smile for the rest of the day. Me thinks I will like the Tiger Hall for the semester.
