touched hers and she jerked away quickly, as if he repulsed her, which he actually did.
    When Katie woke up, Andy was trying to have sex with her again. Well, he wasn’t really trying, but he was hugging herfrom behind, breathing into her left ear, and she felt his dick pressing up against her butt.
    “No,” she said.
    “Oh,” Andy said. His voice was crackly from sleep and his breath stank. “Sorry.”
    Katie’s heart was throbbing. If Andy tried to touch her again, she was going to turn around and slap him.
    “Something wrong?” Andy asked.
    She wanted to snap, You mean, except for you trying to stick your dick in me while I was fast asleep? But she didn’t want to overreact, sound nuts, so she said as politely as possible, “I’m just not really a morning-type person.”
    Andy didn’t push it. “That’s cool. You just looked so good I couldn’t resist.”
    She got out of bed quickly before he could touch her again.
    “You sure something isn’t wrong?” he asked.
    “Positive.” She didn’t want to talk about it. She just wanted him to go home so she could be alone and try to figure out how she felt.
    “That’s cool,” he said.
    She wished he would stop saying that. He was so annoying.
    “Hey, I have an idea,” he said. “You wanna go to a diner or something?”
    “Can’t.” She thought up an excuse. “I have a lot of work stuff to do.”
    “On Saturday?”
    “Yeah, my boss is making me work on this proposal thing—I have to get it done by Monday morning.”
    “Can’t you work on it later?”
    “No…I mean, I’m going out shopping later, and tomorrow I’m busy, so I really have to get this out of the way this morning. Sorry.”
    She got her robe out of the closet and put it on.
    “That’s cool,” Andy said. “I should probably get home, too. I wanna hit the gym and then I’m gonna go watch the Michigan game…You sure everything’s cool?”
    “Yes.”
    “You sure? Because you sound like—”
    “Everything’s fine. I have to use the bathroom.”
    Katie stayed in the bathroom for at least five minutes, hoping Andy would get the hint and be dressed and ready to leave when she came out. The strategy seemed to work because Andy had his jeans and shirt on when she came out. While he went to the bathroom, she turned on her PC and opened an Excel spreadsheet.
    Andy came out of the bathroom, saw her, said, “I guess I should get going. So what’s up for tonight?”
    “I’m not sure,” Katie said.
    “Well, I’ll call you later from my cell. A couple of my roommates are heading out and maybe we can hook up with them. It would be cool for you to meet some of my friends.”
    “Yeah,” Katie said, typing a few random numbers into the spreadsheet. “Okay.”
    Katie remained at her PC while Andy put on his shoes, then Andy came up behind her and put a hand on her shoulder and her whole body tensed.
    “Wanna let me out?” he asked.
    She led him to the door and kissed him goodbye quickly, although she didn’t really want to. When he was gone, she went right into the bathroom and got into the shower. She scrubbed herself hard for a long time but still felt like she couldn’t get clean. Finally, she got out, her fingers pruny, and went into the bedroom and took off the bedsheet and pillowcases and stuffed them into the laundry. She figured she’d wash her blanket later, too, because she didn’t want to sleep with anything Andy had slept with. He was such a son of a bitch; she didn’t know why she hadn’t kicked him out of bed last night. She couldn’t understand how she’d let this happen to her.
    “Hey.”
    The voice startled Katie and she turned so fast she strained her neck slightly. It was just Susan, her roommate, standing at the door.
    “Sorry,” Susan said. “I didn’t mean to scare you.”
    “It’s okay.”
    “Doing laundry?”
    “No, just straightening up.” She wanted to change the subject. “So what’d you do last night?”
    “We went to this great
