Through two and a half years of college I dated the same amazing gal. Suddenly she was able to graduate early, got accepted to a prestigious master's...in another state. Without much talking, she moved on. I was pretty broken up by it all and barely made it thru fall term finals. Winter break started. My best friend, Clark was by my side regularly. His gal was understanding and let us have a lot of time together. The week before Christmas, we all went out to a roadside dive. We were all travelling for the holiday; this was to be our last night out together for a couple of weeks. We found some blues on the jukebox and Clark and I took turns blues dancing with Amelia. I had fun, smiled for the first time in weeks.
I was getting drunk, fast. They seemed to be right with me. Amelia went to the ladies room. Clark lifted his beer and said, "I'm glad to see you smile...I like seeing you two dance...y'all fit together..." we clinked bottles. She came back just as a song came on. I grabbed her on to the tiny dance floor. I caught Clark staring...his eyes level with our hips. I swung into the turns and felt our bodies mesh in movement. Clark licked his lips. Then tipping his bottle back groped himself while...leering at us. Amelia had her back to him. The song ended. She laughed as Clark rushed to tap my shoulder and took her back onto the floor. They danced far closer that we did. I watched them. Clark stared at me hard and nodded when her back was to me.
He slid one hand down her back to just briefly cup her ass. I felt the flush of horniness that had left me when my gal did. Clark was showing off a bit...for me. We were all smiling. I signaled for another round. I adjusted my cock which was tingling in awareness of my balls three week load...The fleeting thought of how hard I was gonna jack off later made me adjust myself again. Clark timed a grope of her ass to my hands movements.
We got really drunk; until a group of rowdy locals came in and changed up the juke box mix. Clark grabbed a six pack and we huddled out into the cold. I remember starting to take a left on my street and Clark's long arm, pulled me against him on the other side from Amelia. Nothing was said, but we walked as a trio to his place. We had a threesome. Clark and I took turns fucking Amelia. The bedroom was dark and warm. We all came a couple of times and fell asleep, Amelia between us.
I heard the shower running. In the light from under the door I could see Clark asleep on the other side of the bed. I heard sobs from the shower. "Shit!" I turned on the lamp, "Clark...wake the fuck up..." I said it quietly but urgently. He woke up and looked around confused for a second, then heard the sobs. He rolled over me, pushing me into the bed. He held one hand on my abs, "stay right here...this...this might have been a mistake..."
He went into the bathroom. On instinct I got up and paced. I got dressed. I saw a tea kettle and put on water...the murmur of their voices was awful. It hit me...we'd not used condoms. We'd not planned this or ever even hinted at this...Clark came out in a towel, red eyed.
He hugged me so hard. "You should go...I'm so sorry buddy, this was my fault...it was all my doing...she doesn't want to see anybody else right now...I'll call you in the morning, alright?"
"I'm sorry too...please tell her..." we nodded and I went out into the most silent cold never I've ever known.
Clark and I spoke on the phone for five minutes. She was right there, I could tell. Clark was halting when he said that right now Amelia wanted me out of their life. A punch in the gut would've been the same feeling I was a zombie getting on the plane next day to fly to Switzerland to see my parents and relatives for 10 days. When asked I said it was the break up, which was true. I got an email from Clark just after Christmas. He took full responsibility for the whole affair. Amelia finally accepted that Clark had lured us into his fantasy without our knowledge. I let him know I'd do whatever it took to straighten this out...including staying away. He didn't answer for days. She decided Clark couldn't be trusted around me...I wasn't sure what that meant but knew I wouldn't have him as a best friend anymore.
Getting back to the States, I grudgingly mindlessly fucked three gals the few days before term started, and then I disappeared into my studies. If I wasn't in class or in the library I was at the gym or home studying. I kept seeing Clark but he only waved me back.
Spring break. Spring break invites to hot tropical places. I was almost tempted to go away and fuck strangers. Three days before spring break in the middle of finals after midnight there was a knock at my door.
Clark stood there, when I opened the door to let him in he backed up a pace, "Am I forgiven?"
"Hell yeah man...we all made the same mistake together..."I stammered. He looked like hell; I tried to pull him into my apartment. He was reeling drunk. He shook his head.
"Amelia left me..." I think we both felt the sidewalk tilt and swirl. "I'm puking drunk. I needed to see you. Say I'm sorry."
"I forgive you." It seemed formal but he visibly unwound when he heard it from me.
"I wondered...I...do you have plans for break?"
The sudden shift caught me off guard. "No, nothing really..."
"Let's go away, leave Friday...just us...ok?"
"Sure, yeah, let's go. I can leave as early as Thursday..."
He grinned a bit..."Thursday!" He swayed against me for a clumsy hug, "Thursday! That I can look forward to..."he pushed away and stumbled off down the block. I started at my open textbooks and grainy eyed went to bed. I roared thru my finals, I was on fire for the tests as all I had done was to prepare for them. Wednesday night I was drained slogging thru a workout for stress relief.
Clark called leaving a message while I was in the shower and sauna, "Pack light for climbing trip. I'll pick you up early tomorrow." He sounded bright, back to himself. I texted back, "will do! Door'll be open in am... Huzzah!" I was tired but amped to get away, to be with my buddy. I had to admit as I drank one beer on my couch; I was lonely. I stripped and threw gear into a duffle bag. I passed out.
It was dark and something woke me up...suddenly I was pounced on...Clark was making pig noises in my ear as he pinned me to my bed. I laughed and pushed against him. He is four inches taller than me and at the moment seemed all legs and elbows everywhere. He went still suddenly, grabbed my ears, "I'm so fucking sorry I dragged you into all that..." he pressed our foreheads together and squeezed out a tear drop. I matched his grip. There was a long silence.
He sniffed and stood up. I realized he had been lying full on top of me and I was naked under the sheet. He clapped and rubbed his hands together, "Why aren't you up yet?" I got up and stepped to take a piss. I didn't think twice about my nakedness. He stood fiddling with his phone, leaning against the door, one thumb hooked in his waist band. He flashed me his treasure trail and grinned. He was commando under his sweats and climbing shorts. I tugged my climbing shorts over my bubble butt and pulled on sweats too.
"Where are we going anyways?"
"Does it matter?"
"Nope. I guess not..." I had a rush of recklessness...
