Then the guy at the doorway moves forward. "This is room 22? Are you Mel?" he says, and I see he is massive, with a guy gut to rival my girl gut!
"I'm Mel," I reply, and my thigh muscles tense for the enormous job of lifting me up to vertical.
"Don't get up!" the guy says as he stops just inside the door. He has a card of some sort in his right hand, which he extends towards me. "I'm Zach, the RA for this floor, and I just want to welcome you to Stuffington U and the Polyburger floor of the rez. We're having a little get-together tonight at 8 for everybody on the floor - just a mixer, a little get-to-know-your-floormates time. There'll be a few games, some vids, and LOTS of food!" He smiled at that last remark, and his left hand went instinctively to his massive middle. He took one more step and handed me the card. "I know paper invites are old-fashioned, but I don't have everybody's cell number yet, and it seems a warmer and homey way to invite y'all, instead of just sticking up posters."
"Well, um, thanks," I replied, not sure what else to say. He has a nice voice and a sweet smile, this Zach, and while my experience at Buttercombe has a left me a little devoid on the 'checking out boys' department, I have the feeling that if I were looking for a fat boy, Zach is the kind of fat boy I'd like.
"I'll leave you to getting settled in then. I don't think your roommate is expected today - but if she arrives, drag her along too. Oh, and if you have any questions about the rez, or Stuffington, my cell number is on the bottom of the invite - text me anytime! Bye now!"
And with that, he backed his male magnificence out the door and shut it, quietly.
Well now, if even a few of the guys at Stuffington were as yummy as Zach, this will be a year with great eye candy, I think to myself. Best to get the rest of my stuff put away, then go see what the cafe has for supper.
But first, a snack.
