Becky and I met at work by pure chance. I was there on my third day in the billing section at a new company. The organization is large, so the lunch is spread out from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM to accommodate the employees.
A co-worker in my section invited me to lunch. After we had selected our food, cafeteria style, I followed Jean outdoors to sit in the warm spring air. We live in the upper Midwest, in a large metro area, with long cold winters so the warm spring sun was greatly appreciated.
I heard Jean say, "Hi Becky, how's the day going so far?"
Her reply was, "So far no hassles from the guys wanting to fuck me."
That word got my attention as we sat down and Jean went about introducing us.
Becky could have been a model so it was understandable the guys wanted to bed her.
As we ate our few calories, Becky and I both were shocked discovering we went to the same high school and lived within a block of each other in condominiums. She was a year ahead of me and because of the school having four thousand students we did not cross paths to my knowledge.
Becky invited me to go with her to a sand lot volleyball game in the neighborhood after work at a local pub, which I readily accepted. She indicated she would pick me up at my place at 5:45 PM.
When we arrived at the pub, it appeared everyone knew Becky and why not, with her looks She introduced me to all those that came to her to say hello.
Becky had a study boyfriend that was a night security guard at a local office complex. That did not stop the guys from asking Becky if she was ready to dump him or at least try them in the sack for comparison. Most of the guys winked me at me when introduced while saying, "Hope we can become better acquainted sometime soon."
I had a boyfriend for social occasions but not too serious about him. He took care of my needs nicely when the need was there. I was in no hurry to be tied down to a single guy at the time.
Becky pointed out the single guys and the married guys in case I decided to accept an invitation to date one.
What was also interesting were the two handsome black guys there that came up to say "hello" to Becky. She introduced them as Jim and Chuck. Chuck said, "Pleasure to meet you Amber; enjoy the games.
Chuck had a friendly grin showing his well maintained white teeth.
Dressed in shorts and a tank top it was easily seen that they took care of their frames.
After they were out of hearing range, Becky said, "Amber, I think those guys are gay. Neither one has ever asked if I would get in the sack with them. It is a cordial "hello" and then off they go. I have never seen them with a white girl other than dancing with them in the lounge after the games. They live in the condo opposite you on the back side."
We have very few black guys in the metro area because of the long cold winters. Seeing a white girl with a black guy gets the stares.
"How many years have you known them Becky?"
"About three summers they have been coming here. They are from Milwaukee, so they say. Both of them are IT type of guys. Oh by the way they also claim to be cousins."
"They sure are good looking, don't you think?"
"Yes Amber, they are."
We watched the games and then stayed for drinks later. The guys were always willing to buy. We would dance with them in exchange and listen to all the propositions.
Chuck and Jim would only ask us to dance when it was a dance with no body contact; that was interesting to me.
As the summer progressed I would go once a week with Becky to a game even though they had them every day except Saturday and Sunday. Many in the neighborhood would go to the pub on weekends for drinks and just to chill out. The few times that I went on weekends, it became apparent that Chuck and Jim did not appear.
November came and Becky and I decided to head to the mall to begin our holiday shopping.
We took a break and were enjoying our lattes when Chuck and Jim approached us. Becky invited them to join us. I was embarrassed because other people began to stare. Jim said, "Amber, we can move to another table if this is making you uncomfortable."
My reply was, "No please stay, I'd like get to know you guys better."
I turned crimson after I realized what I had said and the three others laughed.
Chuck said, "We know what you meant Amber but it did sound like an invitation."
"God guys I am so embarrassed."
"Relax and ask all those questions that you have been wondering about. We are in no hurry. Maybe we would like to get to know you better also. We did not chat much this summer, so ask away unless you are in a hurry."
Becky said, "Guys we are in no hurry. I would like to get to know you better also. You have been coming to the games for awhile and are acquainted with most of us but we do not know much about you either."
Jim then replied, "Let us start first and maybe a lot of your questions will be answered; okay."
I replied, "Sure, go for it."
"Chuck moved here first and I followed him a year later. That was 5 years ago. I'm 28 and Chuck is 30. We are cousins from Milwaukee and we work for a firm that services the metro area in IT technology.
"From time to time we come here to the mall to work for different stores and as a consequence we meet many people. That is how we met our girlfriends. They work here so we spend a lot of time here. We also enjoy the night clubs along the strip.
"Being our girlfriends are working when the games are on no one has seen them."
Chuck said, "We sure would like for you to meet them if you have time today. We can grab a meal when they finish work and then maybe hit a club or two for dancing; interested?"
Becky and I looked at each other, smiled and I heard, "I'm game Amber, how about you?"
I was not going to let Becky know I was scared but said, "Sure why not?"
We sat around for an hour chatting and then decided to do more shopping, meet the guys and their girlfriends later in one of the bars in the mall when the stores closed.
We found the bar easily and saw the guys at a table. I was shocked to see more mixed couples in the bar which made me relax a lot.
The guys ordered us drinks and two ladies approached the table as our drinks were being delivered. They appeared to be in their mid-twenties and were as beautiful as Becky.
