Midnight Sun Challenge Chapter 1.15 "Maya's New Life"

Maya's New Life

Maya's destination was the Sorority House in University Town, where she had enrolled in the fine arts program at the university for first year students.  Her hope was that the university program would introduce her to rich students and ultimately to the film and music scene.  She believed that rich students as friends would set her on the path to the lifestyle she was hoping to live.  She couldn't wait to wear tight expensive clothing and have "relations" with handsome hot guys.

After the meet and greet at the student union, Maya decided to take a walk and get to know the town a bit more.  She popped into every store and met the local merchants, scoping out places for dates and just generally learning what was available.  While she was checking out the local grocer, she picked up a few pieces of fruit and a lottery ticket for the following nights draw.

It was her first gambling experience, as gambling was not allowed in China; not at least for women. Thinking nothing more of it, she shoved it into her bag and carried on with her day.

The first night at the sorority house, one of her dorm mates threw a formal party as a get to know you event.    The party was packed with all her dorm mates, professors and some people from around the town.  It was there that Maya met Chloe.  Maya had been dancing all night long and drinking juice from the many kegs stationed around the house.  She was feeling quite the buzz right down to the tips of her toes.  Never having had juice before, Maya didn't realize that she had gotten quite tipsy. When she started dancing with Chloe, the dancing turned quite provocative and Chloe started making moves on Maya.

Maya was really too intoxicated to realize what she was doing and before she knew it, the seductive flirting had ended up in Maya's dorm room and into Maya's bed.  Maya had never considered the possibility of woo hoo with a woman and she wasn't quite sure if the disappointing experience had anything to do with the juice or her gender preference.  But in the light of day, when the juice haze had faded, Maya and her room mate were a little more than embarrassed. After laughing about it a little, they decided to just remain friends, citing what had happened between them was just one of those "college things".

Maya's first class began at noon that day.  She made some new acquaintances with the people in her program and was invited to a party at the Fraternity House just down the street from her dorm for that very evening.  She just couldn't believe her luck.  She was more than a little excited, because she knew this party would be filled with hot guys from the jock program at the school.  Hot guys meant the possibility of hot woo hoo.  She just couldn't wait! Time to go shopping for a hot new outfit!  She wanted to outshine all the other girls at the party so she could have her pick of the bunch.  She chose a white full length form fitting dress with blue and silver sequins that shimmered in the light when she moved.  It was a bit above her price range and her budget, but if it got her a rich new boyfriend, then it would be well worth it!

The party started at 830 p.m. and by the time she got there, the guys were well into the juice kegs and having a good time.  She scanned the room and started planning her attack.  Not as many guys here as she had hoped.  She saw a few male professors including an older professor who was greying on top and was carrying around quite the pudge up front.  Not her cup of tea.  Certainly nothing like her handsome husband.  Whoa-where did that thought come from?  Focus Maya, keep on task.  She spent the night dancing but kept away from the juice kegs.  She didn't want another incident like last night with her dorm mate.  Maya was just about to leave when in walked Eddy Mullins and his entourage. Maya froze.  Her heart began to pound and her breathing had quickened just at the site of him.

Scanning the room, Eddy's view stopped when he saw her.  Like two magnets, they moved towards one another.
"Hi.  I'm Eddy" he said to her.

"I know," she replied.

Eddy was the local and famous rock and roll singer from the band Aces.  He had made quite a name for himself and his music was loved by all. Including Maya.  It didn't get any more famous, than Eddy Mullins.  She just couldn't believe her luck.

"I'm Maya," she corrected herself, feeling a little more than embarrassed.

"Nice to meet you" Eddy said to her.  "Would you like to dance?"

Not wanting to say anything else embarrassing, Maya just nodded her head yes.  It was like magic. Everything in the room just disappeared until it was just the two of them.  She knew there were paparazzi all around, but she just didn't care.  Looking into this man's eyes was mesmerizing and she didn't want the night to end. So when the party began to break up, Maya invited him back to her dorm room.  They woo hooed all night long.

When Maya awoke the next morning, her heart jumped when she saw that Eddy was still in the bed with her.  Quietly, she left the bedroom to have a shower and brush her teeth.  On her way back, she ran into one of her dorm mates and couldn't resist the urge to share what had happened.  Her mate was so excited that they shared a high five.

"How was it?" Amanda asked her.  "Is he as hot as he looks?"

Maya placed her hand to her chest and one to her forehead and mimicked as if she were melting.

"He has the best stamina!  I swear he could go all night long!" Maya whispered to her laughing and giggling.    "Come, I don't want to wake him up.  He had a hard night!" Which brought both girls to giggling hysterically.

Maya went downstairs to make herself some breakfast and read the paper.  She was thankful that her class for that day didn't start till four.  It was already noon as it was.  She walked into the kitchen to find her dorm mates sitting around the kitchen table grinning at her.

"Have a good night?" one of them asked her, and they all began to laugh.

"Ummm", was all Maya could say in return.  She was handed the newspaper and then she knew why they were all acting so strange. Front page of the paper, was a very large picture of Maya and Eddy!

She smiled to herself and sat down to eat her cereal.  Coming across the lottery section, she suddenly remembered she had a ticket in her bag.  She brought it out to check it and couldn't believe what she was seeing.  Maya won!  She won!  Not a small amount either.  Maya was now a millionaire!  She screamed and began dancing around the kitchen.  "I won!  I WON!"  From this point on, life was going to be exactly what she wanted.  Everything was going to be just grand!
