I was a student living in atlantcourt for the first year it was absolutely fabulous, the house became my home that's how warmly a felt about this place. It wasent till one nite I was walking home from a nite out that I seen a strange person lurking in the bushes dressed in black with his trousers hanging from his ankles. I paused and held my breath afraid that my breathgiveing might alert the stranger of my presence, but to my surprise I could hear whispering " hear pussy, I got something for you".
