David had finally rolled out of bed just after noon on Sunday. No sign of Tom. He could hardly wait for Sharon to return from her hometown. He wondered how early she might be back. He sat on the edge of his bed and started thinking about lunch. Yesterday, he had studied in the dorm, gone to the gym, and then started on a paper that was due next Friday. He really needed to spend a lot of time on that project this week and was worried that Sharon would be put off if he couldn't spend much time with her until then. Then he remembered that she also had some big project due this week too and began to relax. He finally got up and went down to the hall to the showers. Hardly anyone around there. He didn't mind the communal showers at all but it could be a hassle some mornings when everyone on his floor seemed to be in the shower room at the same time. It was like being back in PE class where 30 boys had to vie for 10 shower heads and had only five minutes to shower and get to their next class.

He dressed, got something to eat, and went over to the library to look for more sources for his paper. Around 5:00, he went back to the dorm and called Sharon's house. No answer. He left a message on her machine. She called back 10 minutes later.

"Miss me?", Sharon asked as soon as David answered. "Yep, it seemed like a whole day passed since I saw you last," he said.

"Oh, you think you're funny now. It was just yesterday morning after all. I have been thinking about you ever since," she said.

David had been thinking a lot about her too. He said, "Want to get something to eat?" "Sure," she replied, "Meet me at my house in 30 minutes?"

"Great, I'll be there," he said.

"And, oh, I have a surprise for you," Sharon added and hung-up.

David was anxious to see her so he was a few minutes early at her house. She answered the door and handed him a small package. "Just hang on to this until you get back to your dorm. I don't think that you are going to want to open it in public."

Now, he was curious. The package was soft and not heavy. Like clothes or sheets or something like that. They walked to a nearby restaurant and ate. Sharon broke the silence as they ate by saying, "I have a busy week. Big project due by Friday. I have an idea but don't know that you will like it much."

David looked at her slightly wide-eyed and said, "Uh, does it have anything to do with what's in this package?"

"Not really. The package contains some things that you need. Although maybe it fits in with my idea. Maybe not. Here's the deal. We don't sleep together this week. No sex at all. Until this weekend when my roommates have promised me that they will be gone from Friday night to sometime Sunday," Sharon replied.

David looked disappointed. He couldn't see how this idea was any fun. Sure, he had a big paper due on Friday too, but this seemed like an extreme idea. But he shrugged and said, "Okay, I have a paper due Friday too and I'm behind on getting it together. If all you are talking about is not spending the night together until Friday, then okay, I guess."

Sharon shot back, "Well, that is not all to the idea. No sex also means that there will be no getting off all week on your own too. And I promise not to get off on my own either. Deal?"

David looked dismayed. "Um, that seems harsh."

Sharon replied, "Oh you silly boy. Not jacking off for five days seems harsh to you? Do you even know what harsh is? I can show you harsh. Besides, it will make you hotter when the Friday night comes. I promise to make it worth your trouble."

David felt embarrassed. Masturbation was one of those things that was embarrassing to talk about. And here was Sharon knowing full well that he had thought that no sex this week meant that he could still get off on his own. And she had quickly put an end to that, if he kept his word.

Sharon, said, "Deal?"

"Deal," said David, but without enthusiasm. This would be one of the few times since they had started sleeping together that they voluntarily skipped having sex on a regular basis. And now Sharon was saying that he couldn't jack off either. That was a first. And it wasn't just five days, either. They had last had sex on Friday night. He hadn't jacked off on Saturday or Sunday.

"So, our week of no sex of any kind, including masturbation, starts now and lasts until Friday night. Right?" Sharon said.

"Right, although it kind of started yesterday, didn't it?" David replied.

"I'm sure you will be fine. Now, I have to get back to the house and start on my project. You have a paper to write. So we get back to work on our stuff. But neither of us needs the distraction tonight of the other working at the same place. You go back to your dorm or wherever. I'm headed to my house," she said.

"Right," David said again. He had waited a whole day to see Sharon and this was how it was ending tonight. They walked out of the restaurant. At the corner where they had to split up, Sharon gave him a long, hot kiss and, at the same time, gave his crotch a discreet rub and one of his buttocks a hard squeeze. David returned the favor by putting both his hands on her butt while they continued to kiss. She finally broke off the kiss and told him, "See you tomorrow, maybe? But only for a little while." Then turned and left him standing there watching her go.

"Damn," David said under his breath. She definitely knew how to get him going. He had a boner again and it wasn't going to get any attention this night.

He walked back to his dorm. Tom was sitting on his bed reading. David tossed the package on his bed. Tom immediately eyed it and asked, "What's that?" David replied, "I'm not sure. Something that Sharon said that I needed."

"Well, open it, why don't you?, responded Tom.

So David tore off the wrapping. It was a stack of what looked like newly washed white briefs. Brand new. And several pairs of socks. Also newly washed.

Tom's interest faded a lot at the contents. "So your girlfriend has bought you new underwear and socks? Or are these from some other boy she's dating?"

"Very funny," replied David. He put the new things in his drawer. And thought, "That is what comes of letting a girlfriend do your laundry, I guess."

Tom said, "Well, if it makes you feel any better, Susan has done the same for me. New undies and she threw out some of my old ones. She said that they were disgusting. So this is a girl thing definitely. Get rid of the old and bring in the new."

David just nodded and told Tom, "We did laundry together last Friday night at her house. Some of my stuff is kind of old. Guess I better get back to the library. I'm still researching my paper."

Tom replied, "Cool. I'll be at Susan's tonight again. Have fun with the paper."
