As I was driving to my college roommate's apartment in Oxford, I wondered about her new love, who had moved in quite recently, but whom she seemed very enthusiastic about. I needed some good news, as I was still very depressed about my recent divorce, and didn't feel very good about love or myself.
Susan had insisted that I come and visit for the weekend, sure that she would be able to cheer me up. I always cared a lot for her, and knew that she felt the same for me.
I still could remember how excited and proud she was when she lost her virginity. She had looked at me as her role model all those years, and I had tried to teach her all that I knew. But I wasn't doing very well now.
When I arrived, Susan was alone, as Sean hadn't yet arrived from work. It was wonderful to see her, and we spent the first few minutes just sort of babbling about what we'd been up to lately. Then she told me that she had a special favor to ask of me. It seems that it was Sean's birthday soon, and she wanted to give him something very special, an opportunity to fulfill a fantasy. His fantasy was to have sex with two women at the same time, and Susan wanted to give him that.
She knew that I had participated in such activity before, with other friends, and was hoping that I would be willing again. She did not feel comfortable with any other female the same way, but felt safe in both sharing Sean, and in revealing herself to me.
I was flattered and touched that she trusted and cared that much for me, but I wasn't sure about this. "Susan, I've never even met Sean--what if I don't care that much for him, or I don't turn him on-then what? Besides, I haven't been very interested in sex since the divorce."
She assured me that she wouldn't push it, that of course Sean and I needed to get to know each other first. But she wanted to sound me out on the idea before Sean got home, so she could tell him whether or not I was even interested at all. Maybe my recent brief marriage had changed my previous free spirit. I agreed to consider it, and we dropped the subject as Sean was due home any minute.
I liked Sean the minute he came into the door, kissed Susan, and then kissed me as if he had known me forever. He was a dear, and I understood why Susan loved him so much. He wasn't really my type physically, being a bit on the slender side, but he was very nice looking. We had dinner of spaghetti, the sauce well-flavored with oregano and grass, and got rather giggly on the sauce and the red wine we had with it.
