Galatea 2 - Chapter 4

CHAPTER 4: UPDATED RESULTS

The dorm room was quiet. So quiet that people other than Audrey could now hear a pin drop should it occur.

Vanessa, who had finally looked at Audrey and Brian after coming clean with her true intentions, found her eyes drifting back to the bedspread, focusing on nothing in particular.

Finally, Brian found the right words. “Vanessa… is this because you want to be prettier than Audrey? Don’t let that dick at the bar get to you, you’re still easily the second-prettiest person in this entire school, and my lawyers had advised me to say ‘second’ because my girlfriend is right next to me.”

Audrey giggled at Brian’s joke, with Vanessa showing hints of a smile forming on her plush lips. Brian knew how to lighten the mood when he needed to.

“Yeah, ‘Ness. You literally managed to capture the gaze of a freakin’ movie star! Sure, he turned out to be a complete tool, but removed from context it makes for a really crazy claim to fame! Seriously though, that guy at the bar might actually rival Patton for tool status.”

“Well, it’s not just the guy at the bar, it’s…” Vanessa paused, her brain looking for the right words. “It’s like our whole dynamic has shifted. I used to be the helper, a shoulder for Aud to lean on whenever she needed. I liked that. Now Audrey’s the one who could sleep with a boy a week if she so desired and is helping me out. I didn’t even know what I had until it was reversed on me, y’know?”

Audrey’s beautiful blue eyes brightened up as an idea came to her. “‘Ness, you said you missed the days where you could help me? Well, I think there’s a certain issue me and Brian need a bit of your experience with.”

Vanessa playfully scoffed. “I doubt it. What could I possibly teach you that your brilliant mind couldn’t just deduce on its own?”

“Well…” Audrey began, eying Brian, who eyed her back with a nervous look, finally realizing what she was alluding to.

“Hoo boy, are we really doing this now, Audrey?” Brian said with a concerned tone. “Shouldn’t we give Vanessa a bit more time to recover from her hangover?”

“Hey, as far as I’m concerned, I’m more lucid than I’ve ever been!” Vanessa replied, her burgeoning curiosity at what Audrey and Brian were alluding to surpassing the headache she had. “Spill! Spill! Spill!”

“Wellllll…” Audrey repeated, sheepishly dragging her words. “Me and Brian’s relationship is progressing to the point where we feel ready to, y’know, do it.”

Audrey sounded like a nun at confession, but Vanessa understood what she meant perfectly, her lips parting into a giddy smile.

“Ohmigosh, Aud, you never told me you were still a virgin!”

“Pssh, please, you couldn’t tell?” Audrey responded with a goofy hand wave. “Do you even remember what my body used to look like?”

Vanessa wasn’t about to speak on the fact that her latest dream recalled it perfectly.

“We’re both still virgins, actually.” Brian clarified. Vanessa practically duplicated her original reaction to Audrey, only facing slightly leftward.

“So, you guys want lil’ old slutty Vanessa’s advice on how to get nasty in the bedroom, huh?” The black-haired bedridden girl spoke, carrying the vibe of an elder in a mafia movie.

“Well, I wouldn’t put it exactly that way,” Brian responded. “It's just… we have some concerns.”

“I would hope two virgins would.”

“These are concerns that extend beyond the normal bounds of sex, actually.” Audrey clarified.

“Well, hit me with one of them. I’ve done a lot of freaky stuff in the sheets.” Vanessa replied, a knowing smile accompanying bedroom eyes on her face.

Both Brian and Audrey spoke up at the same time, their separate concerns overlapping and completely canceling each other out.

“Okay, okay, not all at once,” Vanessa said in between giggling. “Aud, you go first.”

Audrey gave a nervous nod of confirmation. “Well, it’s just… I’m still not sure if I’m ready. I was a kissless virgin before this virus and now I’m sexy enough to get on the cover of any magazine I want. I’m just not sure if it’s really me who wants this or if my sex drive is being influenced by the virus.”

“Hmm, well, I might have a solution for that, but first, let’s hear what’s concerning Brian.”

“I mean, mine sounds a little stupid in comparison, but…” He paused to think carefully about how to word the next part, clearly embarrassed. I’ve read some stories online… some pretty detailed and erotic ones. What if I’m not good enough to satisfy Audrey in bed!? I mean, I read this one story where this girl obtained superpowers after touching some… rock I think? Maybe it was a meteorite? Whatever, it doesn’t matter. The point is, as her body improved, her musculature enhanced to the point that his penis couldn’t breach her vagina muscles.”

Both Audrey and Vanessa simultaneously raised sculpted eyebrows. “Well, first of all, that story was complete fiction and this is real life,” Vanessa replied. “Audrey didn’t get superpowers from a magic rock, what’s happening to her body is completely within the realm of scientific realism!”

“Okay, so maybe my fears are a bit exaggerated, but the general point still stands! What if I can’t satisfy Audrey? Her body is constantly improving, maybe it’ll reach a point where she can’t even feel me anymore!”

“Brian, grab Audrey’s breast.”

“Wh-huh!?” came the two concerned lovebirds simultaneously, performing double-takes at each other.

“Just do it.”

Without any further hesitation, Brian’s hand shot out and gripped the breathtaking mountain range that was his girlfriend’s breasts. Audrey yelped in arousing shock, her cheeks turning a deep crimson as the rest of her exhale squeaked out of her perfect lips, cooling the air in the room.

Brian’s action proved to have as much of an effect on Audrey as it had on him. His body jolted from the touch of her breast as if it could conduct lighting. A dark patch appeared on his crotch.

“Seems to me like you two are perfect for each other. Aud, you’re more sensitive than ever and Brian appeared to get more out of it than you did.”

Brian attempted to rescind his hold on Audrey’s pillowy breast, but she stopped him. Quickly putting her own smaller hand over his, she held him in place like sealant. “Maybe… just a few more seconds…”

Vanessa chuckled. “Look Aud, the fact is, that body of yours is your life now. And I can’t think of anyone more fit to satisfy it than the clown himself, Brian.”

With a lively atmosphere in the room, the three of them continued to chat and share silly banter until Vanessa’s headache ceased. Of course, by then the three of them were laughably late for their classes, but it didn’t matter. Audrey practically did all of their homework for them at this point and that accounted for 30% of their grades. They could afford to be a teensy bit tardy.

“Hey, um, Aud?”

“What’s up, ‘Ness?”

“Thanks for helping me take my mind off of all that. I don’t need that virus, I was just acting a little silly.”

Audrey returned a smile. “Aww, ‘Ness, you’re literally the bestest friend a girl could ever ask for. Even if I continue to improve, I know we can always count on each other, no matter what.”

“That’s right. No matter what!” Vanessa replied, bringing Audrey into a tight hug. But once Vanessa’s face was out of Audrey’s sightline, her smile fell.

It was only a matter of time before Audrey became so beautiful, Vanessa would simply fall into the background, never to be seen again. The opportunity was right there. Maybe Audrey and Brian didn’t need to know about this.
