"Give me that," Sarah giggled, grabbing her best friend Carol's boarding pass from the pocket of her carry-on bag. "Wait here."
Sarah had already been talking, more like flirting really, to that nice looking young man from Air Jamaica for what seemed like half an hour before confiscating her friend's pass. Now she was gone again. Sarah was actually skipping as she returned.
"I got us upgraded, I got us upgraded," she sang, waving Carol's new boarding document under her nose.
"What did you have to do to get that?" Carol asked suspiciously.
"Nothing."
"Seriously?"
"Seriously. Of course I promised you'd fuck him at 35,000 feet. Come on, we get to wait in the lounge."
"You didn't really tell him I'd do that did you?" Carol asked Sarah when they were seated comfortably in the first class lounge with a large rum Collins each.
"I'm pretty sure he knew I was joking."
"Pretty sure?"
"OK, moderately sure. What are you worried about anyway? It's not like you aren't jonesing for dark meat."
"Who says?"
"That picture Andy caught you looking at on your computer."
"Fuck Sarah. I knew I shouldn't have told you about that!"
"Well you did and you can't unring that bell. Besides, it worked out pretty damned well for you. Did Andy really say you could fuck all the black cock you wanted in Jamaica and he wouldn't mind?"
"Yes he did," Carol smiled knowing how jealous her friend was.
"He said that? That you had his permission to have sex with black guys?"
"Not in those words, no."
"What were his words?"
"He said he understood my curiosity."
"That's a pretty big stretch, Carol, to get from understanding being curious to telling you to go ahead and bang half the island."
"Stretch schmetch, we're going to the islands to get black cock laid and I'm having another drink!"

"What's this luv?" Andy asked looking at the picture of a big black cock Carol had left on her computer screen before she'd gone to the loo. He wasn't supposed to be back this soon. Now he'd seen it and she'd ruined everything. All of it. She couldn't think; all she wanted to do was run and hide.
That's what she did. She covered her face with her hands and ran to her bedroom, slamming the door and curling up in the fetal position on the bed.
Oh fuck! Oh fuck! Oh fuck! Oh fuck!
she screamed at herself as she lay there, hands over her eyes, hoping the hope of the ostrich.
He knows, he knows, he knows!!
After a few terrifying moments where the bed seem to whirl at a frightening speed, like she and it were in some Kansas tornado hurtling toward Oz, Carol heard the door open and felt Andy's weight on the bed.
"What is it Carol?" he asked, gently rubbing her back.
"Leave me alone!" she yelled, angry with herself but taking it out on her boyfriend. She continued covering her face.
"Does this have anything to do with you and Sarah going to Jamaica?" Andy asked, continuing to stroke his fiancΓ©e.
She didn't answer. Had she fucked that up as well? Her sort of extended hen party, prior to her and Andy's upcoming marriage?
What marriage?
she laughed bitterly to herself.
Why am I so stupid?
"Because if it is," Andy continued, "I shouldn't think that was such a horrid thing."
'What did he just say?
Carol asked herself.
Did he say it was OK that if I might be interested in black dick?
Andy continued rubbing Carol's back, trying to get her to open up to him. Gradually, she let him coax her to uncoil. She rolled over onto her back. His caresses moved to her tummy, just below her breasts.
"You're not mad?" Carol asked Andy as sweetly as she knew how.
"I don't think so," he answered. "Perhaps you should tell me more about the photo so I know how I should feel."
Immediately, Carol threw her best friend under the bus.
"It was Sarah," she said, perhaps too quickly. "She was here and she brought up that site. We were giggling about it and I forgot it was even there."
Upcoming marriage saved?
she wondered.
Would Andy make her cancel her trip, though? That wouldn't happed she knew. The trip was too important to her. She'd get round Andy somehow on that. In the end, she'd have him insisting she go. It wasn't necessary. Andy had no problems with what he thought were simply the fantasies of a proper, middle-aged, mum.
"I think it's only natural that you should be curious," he told her.
"You do?"
"Certainly. Everyone hears about what bloody horse cocks those West Indians have. I'd be more suspicious if you weren't curious.
"You're not mad?"
"Of course not darling. It's only human I should think."
"He did have a big one, didn't he?" Carol laughed and Andy gave her a swat on her bottom.
"Don't go getting any island ideas," he cautioned.
