CHAPTER 17

Max wanted to stay curled up on her couch, naked beneath the weighted blanket, for as long as possible to preserve the memory of her first night with Ruby. She wanted to close her eyes and etch every second of it into her mind, and after a few minutes of trying, she reached for her backpack. She took out her notebook and turned to a new page, dating it and writing ‘First Sexual Encounter with Ruby Satterwhite’ into the header.

It made her heart race just writing those words, but she wanted to immortalize as much of the experience as possible. She wrote down every single detail she could remember – from the topics of conversation immediately preceding Ruby’s advances, to the way her body reacted beneath Max’s touch, to the cravings of her own body in return.

Then when she’d exhausted every detail, Max tore the page out of her notebook and folded it into the tightest square she could manage. She got up, wrapping the blanket around her shoulders like a shawl, and found her pants laying in a heap on the floor. She put the tightly folded square into her wallet where it would be safe and there would be no possibility of Ruby – or anyone else – finding the scrawled notes of her most intimate experience.

Max thought they might come in handy in the future though, just like her notes on Brad and Caitlin helped her build up the courage to push Ruby up against the stacks in the Audio/Visual department today. All she could do was hope for another opportunity to be with Ruby again.

The next time Max saw her wasn’t until McDermott’s class on Monday night.

It felt like an eternity, and she thought they might run into each other before that, in the dorms, or at the dining hall, or in the library, but Ruby was nowhere to be found. Max made a few more rounds through the cafeteria than she normally did, and she walked much more mindfully through the library stacks on Sunday evening hoping to find Ruby at one of the study carrels working on that History of Library Science essay.

No luck, though, so Max had no choice but to spend the rest of the weekend alone, wishing that she had been more adept in prolonging their time together.

Instead, her anticipation for McDermott’s class built. Ruby would be there, and Max spent an inordinate amount of time preparing that afternoon. Usually, this meant completing the readings, taking notes in advance, and studying in advance of midterms and finals. This Monday, though, it meant grooming.

Max spent several hours that morning in her tiny white bathroom. She showered and trimmed her nails neatly back, then meticulously gelled her hair into something approaching a messy pompadour. She liked to keep her hair cut short because it meant she didn’t need to pay much attention to it, and if it was flying off in a dozen directions that was just fine by Max. But Ruby made her want to do better, and she found herself preening like a bird ready to impress its mate.
